I got back to Vilseck looked at my tires this morning. I am glad it did not rain!!! these things are slicks and full of small cuts. I bet there is other people with the same problem?

I saw them at the track, and thought for sure that you knew about them.... They were pretty bad, especially for wet weather. It's not worth it, trust me, and get them replaced!!! :)

Sidestep the clutch @ 4000 apply breaks until car stops lay into the throttle until 6000. Then you just feather it between 5500-6000 a couple time to build up heat and smoke then release brake hold wide open until 6500 ease off throttle until it bites. And that is the ritual Hawk burnout. Have fun and people like it.
