I was with Speedventures over the weekend at Thunderhill. On Sunday, I think everyone got five 25+minute sessions, and they opened up the track the last hour to anyone who wanted to go out.

Normally you get 5 sessions, but yesterday there was extra bonus session for anyone who still had tires left.

Doug, you're the one with the s2k+racing slicks? I think I remember you had some of the better track times at laguna seca.

I only ran the slicks one session there a year ago(they were Davepk's slicks).

Dave, Will, and the Jason's have the fastest laptimes at Laguna Seca......so far.

Ok I'm going with the Toyo's now.....are these the recommended sizes? 225/50R16 in front, and 245/45R16 at the rear?

Can someone explain to me why the shaved RA-1s last longer than the non shaved?
