    Hrmm, depending on how tonight's game goes I would be tempted to take that ticket if I were you.

    So they are good enough for the track, but not good enough for AX. I get it.

    There is a big difference between a track specific R compound and an autocross specific R compound. Especially at the bus lot, where it is harder to get heat in the tires. Not that I would expect someone who has never driven on R compounds to fully understand this.

    Not that it really matters. Even if I had autocross specific R comps for my car, I'd still rather drive Mark52's car. It's a riot!

    If it rains it's your duty as a good competitor to offer me a co-drive in your AWD Evo. Heck even if it's dry you should. A 300+ hp BSP Evo vs a 190 hp GS Mini is not a fair fight

    I fixed that for ya.

    And I'll be on street tires... and have the wife there as a codriver (her first event). Otherwise I'd let you have at it (mostly so I could learn from you )
