HORRIBLE, like being chased ..

Thanks for confirming that Duncan ran a 1:09+ at Road Atlanta, I thought I remembered it, but I couldn't remember when. I do remember watching the Mitty race, (from the comfort of the timing tower) and Duncan ran a very high 1:20s on the first lap (around 1:28 ?) then turned up the wick and ran in the low one minute and teens for the rest of the race, I thought he was just checking to see if the line was dry. I think the field of cars almost got lapped in a 7 lap race, but then again I wouldn't fault anyone for holding back during that race given the track conditions.
I hope I'm remembering the right race. Did he ever manage to pass you after all the harassing?
Best of luck to you, and thanks again for refreshing my memory.

William D: if my experience with Tire Rack this week is any indication, you can at least get Michelin Pilot Sport Ribs in the standard sizes for the 17" wheels (205/50-17 front, 255/40-17 rear).

I have been driving on TOYO T1S including DEs and AX and would only go by them, that is until I switched to PS2s.
The traction on the T1S is amazing but they are less predictable at the limit than the PS2s.
They are very close in cost.
A couple years ago, the speedvision GT challenge was always run on T1S. They have now switched to RA1s.
