Any photos of the Dunlop tent? The media was making a big deal about their new compound.

I'll have to show that to my wife and tell her it's someone else's garage.

Some of those will fit my base Carrera 991 track car, right? I mean, I have wheel studs after all.

I was talking to the Michelin guys down at Daytona and what an operation......38 sets of drys for each team.......I forget how many rains.......and a dedicated mounting team for each class.

Probably should have counted the # of trailers that they brought. It really was an impressive display of support.

I wonder where the dividing line is between the WEC supply and the IMSA supply.
