Its an awesome car. I gained healthy respect for Sprites back in 80's when I crewed on Nationals winning production class Bugeye. This Emod car goes far beyond what we could do in production class and the 400 HP whizzer doesnt hurt either.

Loved watching your car at Marina this year. Its just one sick machine.

I like your endorsement of Good Years - dont hear that often on this forum. In warmer weather I have to agree they made a big difference for me too. Although Im hooked on Avons for cool weather events. I wonder if we might see more Avons at San Diego National tour if weather is cool. My car definitely had a tire advantage to beat Toby's BMW and codriver in FP on first day down there. I had lots of people coming to me asking about those stickers.

I hope Brit drags his new subie powered 914 to San Diego next year. Would love to see some fast Prepared Porsches keeping everyone honest.

I can say the SD tour will be a must... I am this years course designer (I did last years as well). It will be a blast for sure and we will have some other entertainment lined up to make sure everyone has a great time..

Goodyear will have some of the larger tires in the softer compounds some day, but I can tell you I will take a little harder tire with amazing construction any day over a poorly constructed soft tire........

I have run R250 good Year and A15 Compound Avons back to back on same cold surface. The A15 Avons have a real advantage first few turns at cold events over R 250 Good Years. Avons dont need to be warm to stick. Overall construction of the Avons is impressive but then you pay quite a bit more for Avons. Good Years clearly have the best construction of all the Bias Plys I have used but R250 is just too hard for early season events especially here in Nor Cal. However Avons come up short if weather gets much over 70 degrees.

Next year I will probably have two sets of wheels one with R250's and other with A15 compounds for cold days and single driver PCA events.

I get them from Roger Kraus Racing. He orders a container load of Avons about once a quarter. He can get anything Avon makes. A15 is compound I run.

Think it says something about these soft Avon tires when Evan beat guy who placed 4th in this years Nationals in poorly prepared and underpowered FP Boxster at his first SCCA event ever. Big part of that was his driving but I know our soft Avon tires were an advantage as weather was overcast and cool. I had lots of inquiries that weekend about those tires. As Evan indicates these tires get a little squirely towards end of a run if weather starts to get warm. Funny as hell because we both experienced better grip our first runs than subsequent runs. They truly stick when they are cold. I run a lot of events on ice cold cement and they are great
