That Extreme guy just may be a little too poor to go to any events this year. With wedding, honeymoon and my car issues, I am poor!!!

I can't wait.
Street TTS should be fun. I'm trying to decided on a set of new tires for it.

Curious to see how strictly they enforce the NHRA rules for the drag racing bit.

I spent all day reading reviews on tires and it's down to those two. A lot say the RS3's are awesome, but, I was pretty happy with star specs in the past.

Probably just end up being whichever is cheaper.

...and ignore the thread buschur made about my car and don't try to bump me to unlimited I'll just get in their way assuming anyone signs up for it.

I have RS3 255/40/17s on my car for my daily tires... they feel fricken fantastic! My only complaint would be that they have large tread gaps that give up quit a bit of contact. I opted for 255 NT01 tires for track duty because I enjoy the added braking capacity that a stickier tire provides yet I still want more longevity than the Hoosier Koni slicks that I ran last year.

I plan on running my BFG R1's. Well if I can get my car ready by then.

Still have to get my titanium exhaust fixed. It's not easy finding a place that welds titanium.
