Will anyone besides me be there. Gasoline prices hit $3.659 in Gainesville yesterday. Maybe more of us will change to a bicycle for hobby and health.
Breakfast at the Golden Arches at the Willow Park exit, 7am?

Oh what the heck I'll go! ::Banana::
Rumor has it the "Orientals" are going to stay away so this should be a good event! ;)
I'm out, have fun cheese grating your tires.
They're not rugs; they're people!Quote:

If they don't you'll probably still have enough rubber left over to mold into a 245 ;)Quote:

Depends, the surface can really chew up nice soft A6's or V710's but some other R comps like the RA1, Victoracer etc stand up to it pretty well. Street tires do ok, the shoulders just look a little chunky at the end of the day.Quote:

Sprayer, the small ones are only 10 bucks at home depotQuote:

Michael, the tires you are running are road race slicks. Dependent on the compound they may not have a problem at all with the surface and they will probably like the heat (you probably don't want to water them).Quote:

You should definitely try to make breakfast at the Golden Aches club! Will see you Sunday.Quote:

Are you still using those Star Mazda take offs? If so I have a front tire in my garage just sitting there that I brought back from GP Houston if you want it.Quote:

I think it is an option, but they will hit you up for some extra ::2Dollar:.Quote:

Definitely an option, and it doesn't cost anything extra. We really like it better when you sign up online - it helps us balance the heats better and get a good jump on worker assignments.Quote:

I guess the number of praticipants is kind of a double edge sword, if there are too many it limits the number of runs but too few makes it difficult to fulfill work assignments.
All in all I had a great time and can't wait till the next one.
