Tires might last 2 race days. I have tried Solaris handouts, good grip but wears faster than Sorex.

I race other classes, but find TC to be most expensive on tires.
Wow....Sounds to me that your track needs to go to a spec tire that last longer to be honest. It would help cut down on cost and probably pick up attendance too. The asphalt must be abrasive. Is the traction good there? If not spraying some sort of traction on the track could help a ton with tire wear.
