I went to Mineral Wells a bunch. It's huge. The far side of the lot is pretty rough and can eat tires, especially when you're doing higher speed courses. I went one time in my FRS and was doing 4th gear entries with my rear tires aired to 50psi cold. They lasted like 6 or 7 runs before they were getting ready to cord.
I found a video on youtube of mineral wells...perhaps it is you.

I figure if i start out using a 1.5 way, I wont have to deal with the 'tricky' part. It'll just be normal to me. The boss may or may not have just approved of me getting a PTuning kit, so I will probs end up swapping the 4.88 to a 4.5 .
