where I already get beat regularly by trick Civics with my Comp TA/R1s, I
wouldn't be anywhere near competitive with street tires.

The UFO is quite capable on street tires. Last season I ran Yoko AVSi's and
RE-71's and placed quite well even got 1 in CSP the day before my wedding,
(that was a sweet weekend). R Comp tires hide a lot of fault and I have
plenty that I still need to work on. I am sure I will luv the R comps
whenever I get them, but it would be embarrassing to lose to a guy/girl with
street tires, get the point. I would say the SCCA CSP is very competive, but
I have never been to a nation event. I will proudly be running my $40
Sumitomos HRT 100's this weekend at Mather AFB in Sacramento at a Nasa/CSCC
event.
