Just a fyi but WB will destroy your tires; I won't be racing at that event.

huge. then again i came from fuzions. Ive got Bridgestone RE750 on now and love them. Great in the wet and even better in the dry...kinda frustrating though it takes a bit more balls to get that rear end to step out

Kyle- I didnt mean in terms of auto-x usage, I know that. I just meant in the lifespan of the tire.

I have done all the events there for the last four years or so and not found it to be that bad. Now ... with that said, if we get 15 runs, well... I have done both street and r-compound tires there. But then everyone's tires, cars and concerns are different. Just my .02...

Not to steal anyone away from the ETR region but the Chattanooga Region will also be racing on Sunday May 4. Here is the link-

Chatt is a little far for me. Heck, William Blount is pushing it.

The surface there just eats away @ your tires, I know some guys are sitting out to save their tires, they claim 1 event there is equal to 3-4 anywhere else. I've personally haven't ran there in a few years. Mys2k is right though, some people have no problems there others aren't so lucky. I just don't feel like taking the chance.

Be sure to holler at me. In the red S2k, obviously.
