I've got one new set of Blues, and the Blue set I hated last weekend with 2 HC's. I also have some low HC's Yellows leftover from my friends IMSA races last year. After that if Michelin doesn't set up to the plate the I'll be joining the Yoko parade....

Got Yokes?
Been there, done that, not impressed. Ditto Dunlops & they are spendy like the Cups. I'm going to make do with my used blue/yellow fronts & run new rears which are still available.

If Hoosier brings a decent cup tire to market, Michelin may feel the pain a year from now although, I really don't think they give a crap

I would really like to hear a viable explanation from Michelin how this happened though I'm not holding my breath.

What really pisses me off is the lame excuses we were getting a couple of months ago! Total B.S.

Default qualifiying

951and944S ,

I did start at the back of the grid having only have completed 4 laps during the day prior to qualifying. I tried to drive as slow as possible for a couple of laps to insure some clean air. I ended up running a relatively slow qualifiying time but made up for it during the race. Starting 10th on the grid and finishing 3rd.
This was my first weekend in the car and it is very different from what i have driven in the past. It was great being back in F class with such a fantastic group of drivers.


If you have a couple of shots particularly from the last spring race of Jess and I 101 and 713 . I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Cory
