Since the MR2 is busted and the only decent tires I have will not fit 14" rims of the Miata, would all of ES agree to run tires with a rating of greater than 300? I just want us to have a level playing field.

Oh yea, we can all wear skirts too :lol:

Yall do realize that it could actually be a whole lot of fun to do that - assuming you can put aside any inherent competitive nature and ignore what those around you are doing.

We might as well run in fourth gear only.

Now that may be a prerequiste for ES....busted trannies. Funny thing, I thought I had a lot of wheel spin on my last 3 runs. I guess that is one way for THSCC to slow down lowly Economy Stock...break our transmissions :)

First the posi breaks and then the broken posi takes out the rest of the transmission . . . :roll:

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I've already got my tires sourced out. I have Kuhmos for autocross. I'm really not interested in buying more Azenis right now. But then I couldn't use Azenis 'cause they're under a 300 rating.

Besides that, I haven't hardly driven in the past year. You'll probably beat me on street tires Jim!
