I signed up for phase 1 and 2 of the New York Evo school in a few weeks.

I'm assuming everyone takes the school on street tires since 20 to 40 runs for each day can use up a set of R compounds. Right now I have 45 runs on mine and want them to last the season, another 4 events at about 8 runs each.

Is there anything unusual I should expect for the weekend.... besides a ton of vehicular abuse?

No, from what I've seen, most use race tires, though you'll even see some all seasons. I have generally either picked up a set of used race tires, or put off buying fresh tires until after the school.

Evolution isn't all THAT hard on tires, because if you are abusing your tires, the instructor will probably fix that (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If your worried about that...phase 1 is more important.

Run phase2 on the streets. I plan on taking another phase 1 next year and then a challenge if i can.
