Bill is in for some serious fun. And, yes, the Dunlops are a bit slower but
the good news is they will also be on the Porsche and Lotus factory hotrods
e.g. RS60, Lotus type 15. As a spec tire, the Dunlops do help equalize the
class. It's just relearning how to drive a bias ply race tire after running
radials that requires some getting used to.
I am looking forward to once again providing "crew services", and watching
Peyote again humble the field of very expensive, and fast, Loti and Porches.
Heh, heh.......

Subject: So who's coming to Monterey?
It's going to be here soon. I expected to run the PreHistorics, but I have
a bit of a business emergency so I can't be gone that long. But it's still
only a week and a half away. I'm pumped. I will be running my Radical at
PIR this weekend instead of Peyote at Laguna. Just a little difference
there. The Radical is so damned fast that it seems like I'm constantly
turning. It's good practice for Peyote though.
I have to run Dunlops at the Monterey Historics, and I hear they are a
challenge to get used to. The tire guy I talked to said Comp TAs were
worth 3 seconds a lap at Sears Point vs. the Dunlops. Yike.
