I'd definately like to know more about them, I haven't heard much yet. But right now, there's no budget left for another set of tires anyway. I snapped that pic right as I left to go home...to swap my old SZ50's back on. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I wouldn't hesitate to run the Hoosiers on a wet track, but one that's flooded--and I mean deeply flooded--simply isn't a good idea. On days like that I'll just use street tires. In the wet, I'm not out to set record laptimes. And just being a lapping day, I don't need to worry about losing the race so it's OK if I'm slow. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Luckily the rain did let up some and I ended up having a lot of fun. By my last session of the day, the track was about 1/2 dry. That last session made everything else worth it. I flogged the car hard for 45 minutes straight. I basically had the track to myself the whole time. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I hadn't been on track since last September--it felt really good to be back. I didn't get to feel the big Hoosier Grip, set any really fast laps or see if I could top 150 MPH on the front straight--things I had been most looking forward to all offseason--but I had fun driving. I did beat the piss out of the engine for 45 minutes straight without it blowing and I was going fast enough really notice the suspension changes I've made (which I'm 100% happy with so far) so I do have some initial indication that those projects were successes. All that said, it wouldn't hurt my feelings much if all the rest of my events this year were dry!

I am not an advanced lapper but the exausht prevents me from lapping with my normal group of noob's and rookies. So looks like I am going to be letting ALOT of people pass me (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . It would be nice to see you out there.
