Quick questions for the track junkies...
I am running on my 1st set R-compounds.. How long will the tire last if the tread just started touching the wear-mark bar.
Also, where can I get tires mounted near / in / at Willows?

A typical 4/32" shave usually is down to the wear bars or lower (usually you don't see any of the original pattern, some of the wear bar), so you still have lots of tread and wear life but the traction may be going or far gone with the heatcycles. I would not be worried about cording these, just that they won't perform like fresh shaved tires.

Exactly the information that I was looking for.

So who is all going? I'm signed up for Sunday only. I will be on some Sumitomo tires hehe cheap tires but I'll burn them up and buy some more, plus it is just for fun right?
hopefully my scan tool will be back and I will have it so if anyone needs me to scan there CEL and clear hit me up. I'll be the guy with the Wisconsin plates.

Slightly OT but I have a set of used/new (200 street miles) Cobalt GT-Sports that I can bring to the track for sale...
I would recommend VR spec for fast drivers but GT-Sports will be a huge improvement over the stock pads. PM me for details with special pricing.
