The second set can be used as a scrub later but can’t imagine I can make one set last a whole weekend competitively!

Well, not competitively, lol. But if I need to stretch the budget, it happens. Mind you, I am not on slicks; SPC is Hoosier this year, and those last a bit longer.

Yes - and I won the GTB1 championship

I mean that is awesome and very impressive! I am pretty bad with tire management! I def have to get better at equipment management in general. I shoot for two a weekend! I might be doing something wrong though! Looking forward to trying to chase you and Seb at VIR!

Dear Club Racer,

I have taken various screenshots from your Rennlist account detailing your racing exploits and the approximate amounts you have spent. Unless you deposit $10,000 in Bitcoin into account Fjk5sdjTH012DDfnmi4k6L7kDEfn1 I will turn this information over to your wife. You must realize that $10,000 is a small sum to pay compared to what your wife will spend in retaliation for finding out that you cannot run a whole race season on one set of tires. Please deposit the funds into the account within five days or I will be forced to contact your wife with this information.

Sincerely,

The Rennlist Blackmailer

Podium letter class car on Hoosiers, can't see less than 5 figures per weekend all in (and I am not counting cost of car or accidents).
