Thank you Plato for the kind words and thanks again to everyone who came out to make yesterday such a special day. "Leader of the wolf pack" - I like how that sounds.
Interesting perspective regarding how I've matured as a driver over the course of the last ~2.5 years! As one of the original members, I sincerely appreciate your insight and feedback. Yes, tires do matter, but what matters more is seat time. I picked up my car in the first week of December 2012, and now in late March 2016, I'm a few hundred miles away from hitting 15k miles. So, even though I've technically had the car for a long time, I'm still relatively new to it and still learning.
Definitely had a few moments yesterday where the car and the driver became one and everything felt "right". Specifically on Palomares and then on some of the single lane sections of Mines. I was pushing the car and feeling the limits of having zero degree camber up front. I can't wait to get my coilovers installed so I can finally dial in some useful negative camber up front.
Thanks for posting up your video, it's inspired me to order this (and a GoPro) and start making my own videos of drives:

Hope I don't embarrass you too much by saying this, but you've really come a long way since our early drives together... from being hesitant and asking to be all the way in the back of the line, to being leader of the wolf pack! You might try to credit the tires, or the suspension, or the exhaust... I know it's the DRIVER.

I don't think those strips are wear indicators but I could be wrong. I think they're just part of the manufacturing process.
