@renfield90 I think that's some great advice. I'm well aware that #1 and #2 areas needing improvement are my driving skill and the car setup respectively (I tried something non-standard and it didn't pan out, now heading to a more standard setup that I think will be much easier to drive). But if there's some obvious mental shift or easy change to make (like tire pressure) that can be worth a few tenths sitting further down the list of stuff to fix it doesn't hurt to tackle it sooner rather than later.

But, nice to know that tire management is not a factor in what I've experienced. I presume you also mean to imply that on those hot days you can absolutely overheat the tires, especially on a >60s run in >90 degree heat we'll start to see in the next few weeks (hence the sprayers between runs). |

Great time at the College Station tour! Nice to meet a bunch if you guys and great site/surface!
Just got home from the long drive a couple hours ago, but worth it. See y'all next time.

I had a bunch of fun racing against you guys!
Great job Justin on day 2 to snag that last trophy spot. I just totally over drove my last run. Congrats Manfred on the win. I need to do some more national events, after a header and tune lol. |

Quite a few twins using BFGs, I'm assuming the new Rival S 1.5, at the Tx Tour. Are they better than the RE71Rs all around, or just on concrete?

See the D Street thread for tire discussion. The short answer is many are finding the 1.5 to be a positive improvement, but IMO you still can't go wrong with either tire.

Based on what I've heard, I think the BFGs would suit my driving style a bit better, but I'm going to stick with the Stones I recently bought for now. I'd very much like to try the S 1.5 though. Perhaps mid-season...
