I have forgotten to turn warmers on before on the GPA's and gone out on cold tires and have had them good to go in one lap. Also, Dunlop claims their race tires aren't affected by heat cycles.
But, with that said people crash at 15* lean angles on hot tires too.
You are able to be smooth enough that you can make them work that fast... they are not even close to up to temp that fast.
I too can go faster on stone cold tires than many can on any tire they were to spoon on. But that is not to say heat doesn't matter lmao.
And dunlop is full of it. Ask anyone running up front. All of the tires fall off a solid .5-1second after the first heat cycle.
Dunlops hold that "like new" grip 5-10 laps longer than the others but once they all fall off they all plane out until near bald as long as you take care of them.
I really like the rims, I would love to find a set of them and have them powder coated dark gray.
how many track days is that?

I had HIDs before but one of the bulbs took a shit, I finally just got around to ordering new ones. I also have to buy new fog lights for the front, so once I do that I will probably get some more bulbs for them because I have extra ballasts.
Then again, I think they make something to trick the car to believe the headlights are still operating, I know they made them for the BMWs.
I've got their HID kit in my minivan (2yrs and going) and had it in the beemer. Around $100 or some shit with the error code eliminator. I didn't need that part for the mazda but i know guys who have run them with success on BMWs.

I remember last year, I think it was Audi who had a commercial that their new HID headlights were so bright thye killed zombies.
That's exactly what we need at night... a bunch of cars that have suns for headlights to blind oncoming traffic. Great fuckin idea. Douchebags.
Like Rich? And me? Factory HIDs have leveling motors as per DOT regs though...they don't work to well on the fuckin luxury SUVs though.
Looks like it will be Sylvain Guintoli, not Davide Giuliano taking Biaggi's seat at Aprilia next year. Note the bikes have to have stick on headlight decals for next season, and they are also switching to 17 inch wheels (like OEM) from the 16.5 they've been running for years.
They told me in the winter of 2011 that the registration process was getting built for online and would be available for the 2012 race season
I mail mine, too. That's the only check I ever write is to renew my race license.
all they need to do is setup a simple ecommerce site, wera has been doing it for a while, they better hope wera never comes up here cause i will switch in a heartbeat

Anyone going riding this weekend in Westchester or Connecticut? Bear Mt.?
39' and windy yesterday, nothing the Performance Riding Baselayer from MOTO-D couldn't handle. Extend your riding season (or start it early) with our 1-pc soft shell fall/cold technical garment which blocks wind and insulates keeping you WARM.
