We are doing D.E's, shaving tires removes life. We use RA-1's because they last forever. When we want to go faster we don't use RA-1's period. I think Harold used Good Year slicks and I used some Pirelli's once.

Your spec-e30 is slow... I'm sorry but I love spec-e30, I thought about racing that and I even had an E30 track car I sold when decided against it. I have no trouble passing them in my street car, which isn't enough for me. Spec E30's do 125 on the back straight, I doing almost 140. I don't doubt you could easily go flat out through the kink and through turn 12 on road A because you have NO power and NO weight, on the other my fatass car is going 120+ into that, and it can't (nor can almost any street car) lug itself through there with the pedal on the floor.
