you mean the guy that rents the lap timers and gives you your times, right? He's only there for trackclub.com events as far as I know. I do know he's not on the list for our day...you'll just have to count.

I'm stoked for this track day, it'll be my first one

I'm just curious about what tires to use for the track. My Metzler M1's are down to around 50% tread, so I'll need new rubber for sure. Anyone know what tires the vendor will be selling? Price?

I might get some 2CT's or Super Corsas put on before I go, but I'll support the tire guy there if possible.

Call Gabriel to see what he recommends. His prices are good, and they include mount & balance. Home <--Link

I'll be purchasing another set at Buttonwillow myself.

50%? I say they are ok for your 1st track day.. I run my metzelers and Pirellis all the way into the wear bars and then change em unless I have buddies that want take off's and then I only run em about 60-70 laps....

jerusry · 09-21-2007, 08:18 AM

Man it would be nice to take the new bike out the track. You guys have fun, Hopefully there will be another one soon!! Hopefully I can afford it when you guys do go!! Be safe.
