Very true Josh, but San Diego is a notoriously tricky surface which shows up any handling deficiencies. I haven't felt any tire feel that good there before!

What's weird is the kooks are the Only tire that seems to keep the back end more stable for me.

I don't know that I'm sold on the Toyo's at least not just yet. It was a surprise to look at the results and see Bryan mid pack and not dominating.

Congrats on the win, hopefully we can do battle at Crows landing.

The Toyos didn't feel as good at El Toro as they did in San Diego, but I think we got a little lucky with the weather in that it was quite cool (60's/low 70's). However, I cannot deny that the car was pretty dominant. I coned away a run on the right that would have had me win by 0.5, but hey, cones count for a reason and I screwed up. I'll work on getting the video edited later, but we had a very successful weekend with a 1/2 in STX and a win in L3.

I didn't accomplish my plan. :|

Here's my video from Sunday morning where essentially all the fastest runs happened. My final right, I braked too much coming into the turnaround after hitting a cone there the previous run. What a pu$$y!!

I've seen plenty of video of Twins that are anything but planted, so I can only assume I lucked into a good setup
