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.

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.
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.
