Nice job on the SC3s! I expect you will kill the outside edge of your front tires much sooner than the rest of the tread if you run many events like that though.

Would you mind sharing what the ambient temperature was and how long you had between runs? I guess the sun probably helped warm the pavement above ambient temperature too. If they were new tires I guess tread squirm probably helped them warm up faster too.

I did an autocross practice event on SS 1LE SC3s on stock wheels with very little tread remaining when it was around 50°F outside and cloudy and the tires were extremely difficult to get warm even after driving aggressively on public roads near the site to try to warm them up. I had a local expert drive my car for a few runs on the course too and he agreed. I finally got them warm at the end when everyone was packing up and I got 3 runs with only about 2 minutes of waiting between each run.
