No, they have their own perspective pax. 0.842 for XA and 0.851 for XB.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how things play out in regards to the tire situation - no doubt!
I've beaten him a few times this year. I don't think I've lost to him since I got the 71RS's. He doesn't do all the local events though.

Thats rough!

But, I'll be there to hang out and help if needed cause SM is W1/R3

Also, not sure where you'll be for paddock but I'll be in the first of the mega sites. Light silver Super C motorhome and white enclosed trailer.

Haha, trying to look at it in a positive light, but damn - running in the 5th heat 2 years in a row!

I believe the NRSCCA is in row 24, which is where I'll be. I MIGHT take assistance depending upon the OPR situation. I'm just trying to determine if this extra leg work is worth it, compared to focusing mentally. (IE, swapping tires front and/or rear, using a oscillating tool to shave off OPR, etc.) Last year's Nats - I simply sprayed the front tires only and I'm not even sure it was necessary.

The tire scrub area is your friend. At least with hoosiers is pretty much necessary. But I'll have my rotary tool and extra batteries plus generator cranking out power cause we pick up so much junk and it takes a while to get it all off.

Im solo driving this year as a gamble for heating tires on my own but also not having to deal with OPR as much as dual drivers.

Damn,

This is totally off topic. I just rode in a BOE400 supercharged elise last night. I've always lusted after the Exige as I like the looks more so than the Elise. My eyes have been opened as the first time I rode in a stock, non-supercharged Elise - it was very much underwhelming. Compared to like a STR ND Miata. As much as I love the evo, I keep going back to the idea of going the Exige route.

Any thoughts if the Exige S/S240 would even be competitive in Super Street?

I was always turned off on the elise/exige by the front clam issues.

I totally get that - at the same time tires are MUCH cheaper for that thing, ha!
