I'll be on NT-05s as usual. Also have some MPSS on my other wheels but saving those for the street. Everything else is stock except DRM Bilsteins. Will be good to see everyone again!

Check your points (use spreadsheet on OP). I think you should be in MODIFIED with me.

Oops you're right. I mistakenly thought the NT-05s were 100 treadwear. So I am in modified. You're going down now

Ed,

It was a smoking 73*F at Laguna Seca last weekend, and I was running an incredible 5 or even 6 laps at a time and the coolant temp barely budged!

However my car definitely can't do BW in July (retrospectively WSIR in June was also a bad idea), so it is up to you or Kevin.

I even installed C6 Grand Sport calipers and rotors so I would have plenty of C5 rotors to lend you. 😉

I'm anxious to get back on track since I skipped Willows....been busy parting out my dragster.

DH--I finally have a go-pro, so assuming I can figure out how to download and post it I'll have something post race.

You won't play tennis with me and now you won't race with me either. Are you trying to tell me something

Their is nothing wrong with running your car in the heat just like the rest of us. Its not your car but your body's coolant that is the issue. It takes a while for the Canadien blood to acclimate to SoCal conditions.

Hope you change your mind
