Greg, not to get off subject...

Are you bringing anything up? We need to see how fast fast is! We would love to have some cars in class!

How many laps did you make in 12 hrs with pablo?

Are you bringing anything up?

Negative. We all have differing priorities this year, so Pablo is sitting out the enduro season until VIR...come play in Danville in November, you'll love it...

How many laps did you make in 12 hrs with pablo?

The last (only?) Nelson we did was the 24 in '07, so really can't say...MyLaps says we did 876 in the 24 hours, but that includes a tranny change roughly ~19 hours in (costing 1 hour, 7 minutes)...so, call it as you wish...

By the BFR G-Force R1. I have some experience with these tires on my #05 '95 Cobra R. They seem as fast as the Hoosier R6 and the wear is great. They have a fast first heat cycle and then they run steady lap times til they cord.

Two weeks ago I ran my best lap times at Road Atlanta, one after another after another, on BFG R1's that we ran the entire 3 hour ARRC enduro on in Nov 2007 and then every SCCA race I've run since.

Any comments on the Toyos for enduros??

A lot of guys use them use them. They still should be shaved in my opinion, not necessarily to sprint race depth (3 or 4/32nds), just a bit to get them to dissipate heat better(5-6/32nds).
