Busy day at the track!, 103 cars making noise Options

We had our first short track event at Willow Springs today and 103 cars showed up. It was the most I've seen but apparantly not a record for the club. It was 68 degrees and no wind. I ran my new Hoosier R3SO4's and really like them. I turned my best time ever. One of our local TV weatherman was at the event, Dallas Raines, so that was a kick. I took a few pics, I'll try to post them in the a.m. Anybody watch the superbowl? Who won?

I ordered them heat cycled from Tire Rack. I keep track of each heat cycle I put on them so I'll be able to let you know when they give up the ghost. The O3's would last 12 to 14 heat cycles and then my times would get consistently slower. I usually run them to 19 or 20 cycles just to get some extra mileage but then I trade them in. My initial impession of the O4's is that they came up to temp and started gripping quicker than the O3's. I hope they last longer then 14 cycles.
