Scratch me unless the registrar lets me in...the local PCA guys pushed me to the 3/18 date --- mutual mistake..don't ask. Same place.....wrong day. No point if not with you guys......we'll see.
Darn...I figured I'd go, and have at least 5 witnesses for my petition for the HWFM team entry.....and you guys would be at least another 10 witnesses. :-)
(I just emailed him....so we'll see)

There will be cancellations... There always are... So I'd still plan on going. The guys at VIR say it's generally about 5%. Alot of this is due to cars breaking or people not getting them ready in time.

I'll be at the Tuesday PCA event...next year I'll be at zone two. From what I have been told, VIR rules...probably one of the best venues in the States.

Is this temp thing specific to R888's or does it apply to all soft compound tires?

toyo's web site says,all proxes r1r,r888,ra1 and open country m/t.no other company's effected.they go on to say that thease tires have unique properties that when compairied to other tires can cuase them to lose flexibility and can lead to potential cracking and other damage to the tire.
