What tires are everbody running this year???

Also when i got fitted for my seat at piper i realized it really sucks being 6ft tall. Couldnt get the decline i wanted in the seat because it put my knees in the steering wheel. Changed the seating decline in my daily driver to help get use to it.

Looking good Mike!

I'm using Hankook RS3s. They were half the price of Z2s. After looking in the R&C forum there is a Bridgestone that seems to be killing everything else right now but might wear out quickly. Not worth it for HPDE stuff but if it fits TT rules you might want to look into them.

I'm on the old BFG Rivals - I picked them up on clearance last year when the new Rival S was coming out, otherwise I'd probably be on RS-3 V2s instead.

I'm still rocking some OG Z2's I got last year with the new square setup. I'm going to run them till I burn them up. For the HPDE cup they'll be fine, just gotta watch out when they get hot and greasy.

Good to hear you're getting things sorted man. I look forward to getting a ride in your car! You gonna be all set for this weekend?

Star specs are what i have. Really fun tires. I dont have a lot to compare yet, but they are grippier than the old AD08S.

Woah!

Did we ever determine if a roll bar is required for the S2000? I am really tempted to go now with so many people going.

I don't need an instructor, so won't have complaints there, and have an OEM hardtop.

*edit* According to the registration factory hardtop is good.

I don't know what the requirements are for TNIA and Dominion, so don't want to comment (rollbar ftw! ). The more the merrier it should be a good time! Since you don't need an instructor you just have to get past tech (they have an option for pre-teching the car I believe). I'm looking forward to the nice fresh pavement and a new track. Should hopefully be buttery smooth.

Registered I'll try to meet up with you guys for lunch since traffic could be horrible, but hopefully since it's a tuesday it will be ok.

The next question will be if I can get my BBK installed by then, if not I might need to pick up some pads. I wonder how hard dominion is on pads.
