Agh. Bad runs all around. First two runs, I had 190lb of ballast in the form of a passenger. Last run I nearly locked the fronts at the finish and blasted through a wall of cones.

And it was getting COLD RG6 when I finally got to drive. I'm disappointed that I didn't manage to knock off the evo for 1st in bspn. The car was willing, but I screwed up.

That night run was BAD ASS!!!! Man I wish I had tires, I would have so been there. Glad ya had fun, like I said before, unless work dictates otherwise, I'll be at the next Oakland event.
I'm sure the night runs were awesome! I can't say the same for the night workers (of which I was one of the unlucky). That was a massive 6th run group! Standing for 2 whole hours at dusk in the chilly breeze of the bay was not so awesome. But the actual driving portion of the event was fun!

Yeah it was nice meeting ya Max. Your 2nd run was probably the most entertaining moment of my work group. I bet I'm gonna do the same thing at the next event. Haha!

Should be able to beat the evo's with street tires, especially with something sticky like the re01's or rt-615's. The RA1's are more of a road race tire vs a auto-x tire. You would have to do some serious hot laps to get them up to temp. We'll see what happens later on.
after driving on RA1's at an auto x event I can say the grip level even cold is much greater than any street tire. They are most likely not as good as the auto X tires like 710's or A6's.

Yeah, it seems like people feel that old, worn out r comps have much greater grip than street tires.

Seems like an economical choice.

Do most of you guys in this thread run BSP or are there some in A Stock? Seems like good competition in BSP this year.

Most run BSP since a lot of us are on coilovers. I run SM2, when my car is running.
