The Big Bend Open Road Race is only 61 days away...

Please see the website for this event. It is one of the most challenging open road races in North America. It is very challenging, but is a blast at any speed!!!

I am tempted, as always, but the folks on the message board are a little tricky to get info out of, and some seem to think that my Nitto 555RII's would not pass tech as they are "too soft". The event is expensive enough compared to an HPDE, and buying a good set of street tires that will turn to stone in the garage before I wear them out is not appealing.

Chuck,

I spoke with Bruce Wood about your concerns, as I read that post on the BBORR board as well. Mike was mistaken, as he thought you were talking about running drag radials.

I ran in Bruce's 99 Cobra in the 140 MPH class in 2003, on the same tires. As a matter of fact, Mike mounted that set of Nittos on the Cobra. I think you are well prepared from a tire perspective if you run the Nittos.

If you have any questions about the race, talk to Kenda Furman. She is the best source of info for this race.

Hope to see you in April in Ft. Stockton, TX.
