The track may tell you otherwise but thats probably the track's policy not the insurance company. I've run more than 1 event so I just happen to beat you using that "timing" stick. neither of us crashed either

And even Kindergarten kids get a report card.
Not the first day they don't... they get naps.

that is where you are wrong: this is my second day in kindergarten.

bridgestone only makes the re01r for ap1 wheel spec in V-rated. i dont think i'll be going over 149mph (although california speedway does have some very long straights..). will these be sufficient?

You can thank Rylan for your class assignment, not me.

There's another difference between the two coasts, and that's the increasing number of tracks/groups that require aftermarket roll proctection for the S2000. From what I've read on here, the same thing is not happening out there.

Junsu,

is your suspension completely STOCK?

my experience with stock ap1 was that i couldn't control the oversteer.

i only have one mod...which is the Swift Front Sway Bar. Now my car understeers...so this should tame the rear end from sliding out.

I purchased the J's rear bumpsteer kit...but I am going to hold off on installing those to see how the front sway bar works by itself as the only mod.

how do the re-01r compare to the oem s-02? they both have 140 treadwear rating...but the s-02 appear to have more contact patch since it has less channel grooves...thoughts?

You are going to be fine with a V rated tire. Definitely not going to hit 140+ on any of the tracks in So. Cal in an S2K... Cali Speedway ROVAL or Willow big track.

you need fast hands to control a stock ap1. You can always add more rear toe in to make the car rotate slower.
