Also, I'm sure we'll get a significant PAX change for year 2.
Because my wife and I are local members, we are not yet showing up on the registration. As things stand now, SSC will make a class for both the Match *and* the Pro.

-And we are 10-deep for Dixie.

I'm really striking out so far. I think the last 5 cars that I've contacted someone on sold while I was making arrangements. Also, ordered wheels about 10 days ago, never heard anything, contacted Amazon and learned that my account was suspended and order cancelled. They don't really know why my account was suspended, but I can't order anything.

I do have tires and a car on transfer at CarMax, but Dixie in SSC is looking unlikely for me.

Finding a car is way more challenging than I thought.... granted I'm really wanting a '16 with some bumper to bumper left.

Most of them seem to be either autos, modded, or wrecked. ...and the ones that aren't seem to be selling in a day or 2.

I just searched and found this in 2 mins - https://www.carmax.com/car/15478411

Are you confining yourself to an area? That might be your problem.

500 mile search and I do have some budget constraints since I haven't sold the ES car and this won't be a daily. This one also popped up after I had a car transferred yesterday.

edit: I've called about 6 cars this week and the other 5 had sold. The car that I'm looking at has been transferred at least twice in the last 3 weeks, so I'm a little worried something is up.

I don't know how many heat cycles the Falkens are good for, but the tread holds up great! I estimate over 80 runs after the Match Tour and the tread looks like my RE-71's used to look after 30-40 runs.

My fronts are edge worn after 100 runs, this was about 30 runs with a hard front bar. Going to rotate. The rest of the tread is 3/32nds or so, just above the wear bars. 80+ runs tire chewing concrete and ~20 runs asphalt/gravel. New set is en-route for Fontana/SD Match.

Just ordered a new set of falken's and a second set of wheels. I plan on running the current set at the Ft. Myers Pro. -Then I will have to decide between the 100+ run set and the sticker set for Dixie.

For those still needing tires, it'll be tough to beat this deal at $356/set

You will need to search for the tires yourself
