Basically a bunch of nutjobs that are too cheap/lazy to run R comps are revolutionizing autocross one event at a time with a street tire index.

Rife, where did you see us running CSP pax ? I thought it said we run our normal pax......no?

Looks like that will be on Sat with their reg Sunday A-X... I wonder what kind of crowd it will draw?

Man I wish I still had some tires for the speed3.

What? Prizes?

"There are over $12,000 in prizes to be awarded at the four events. The prizes are detailed on the "prizes" tab, and include: Bridgestone Tire certificates, Tire Rack gift certificates, Optima Battery certificates, SPS product certificates and sets of Bridgestone RE-11s. Coverage of the events will be provided by Grassroots Motorsports, and all tire certificates will be fulfilled by the Tire Rack. Shell will be on-site providing high performance fuels and motor oils in Dallas and in Milwaukee."

Maybe I should buy some tires. I need some anyway.

Well, I don't think there is any risk of seeing a ES Miata there. No decent tire selection for a 14" wheel.

I'm sure Seanan can attest to how bad 195/60-14 Azenis suck to autocross with. It's pretty awful.

What SCCA class does your car fit into?

Me...?

If so, BSP right now. Stick some 245s on it and get a non-max-boost-raising tune and I'm good for STU.

I've been too lazy to get the tune and I have some 245/40/17s mounted on gold BBS in my parents' shed.

I'm a bargain shopper... I'm on forum classifieds entirely too much.

And I got a great deal on those RE-01Rs.
