It was so good to see all the great cars this weekend.  I am glad I made it b=
ack from Utah in time to see the races on Monday.  I have been mapping out m=
y plans as we have a 2nd spit ready to come out of mothballs for next year. =
 I wanted to get info on the tires as I want to test on them and make adjust=
ments to the car(s) to accommodate the change.  It appears the TDR is a good=
 predictable tire and would not require too much change on my car from slick=
s.   May need to play with rear camber a little bit. Excited to try them out=
. =20

.  In March at the VDCA VIR Wild Hare, I ran a new set of Hoosier HOTDRs (24=
x7-15) for 1 qualifying, 4 races (I flat spotted one set in the first qualif=
ying when I locked up).  My best session was the last race on Sunday with th=
is set.  In April, I ran the same set for 4 more sessions at VIR again, runn=
ing the tread down below spec.  I understand the HOTDRs are actually the sam=
e compound as R7s.   I have not run RRRs, but understand they are a little h=
arder compound, and might last longer.
