Point well taken. It's times like this that I wish I had the money to fly to his home track and lay it down with rerun tire's.

Here in Memphis with the MSRA, we run in parking lots with track temps around 140. I have tried back and forth the CS and RP's so I can say for our track the RP's 1st run is as good as the 3rd. With the CS tires, the first run is the best and its all slower there after. When our track temps come up to the 140 range, my 2,3,4 and even 5th run RP's are very fast and still consistant. The dreaded CS inner wear ring that always appears after 2 runs does not happen to the RP's!! This past Sunday I was running a set of 4 run RP 30's and as the track got hotter they were still running great. I ran them for the first qualifyer and in the second. After the second round one of my buddys pointed out to me that my right rear tires had a spot about 3mm round with the belt showing! LOL I ended up runnina 2 run set of CS-27's for the main and the lap times were the same.
In short, sign me up for some more RP's!!!!!!!
