It's somewhat hard to make a true, accurate data analysis as it's hard to say what helps and to what amount. For instance, Hoosiers typically weigh about 4-5 lbs less than other R comps which also help on accelerating, braking and many other things. The sole difference between the compounds and tire shapes are hard to quantify because of that :/

Agree. I use a combo of pace and longevity as the best comparo and leave the rest to techno guys

Here's a cool shot from the National Covette Museum MSP this past weekend. This picture is shot from the "sinkhole" corner, a crazy uphill tight lefthander. Zach w/ ABI photo takes some killer pictures! This was my first full weekend on RE71R's with some alignment tweaks. The car felt absolutley amazing.

Awesome shot! What restraint do you use? Is that a Hans? Thx!

I'm not using any head/neck restraint in this photo. I have a Hans I use in harness equipt cars, the orange cords are the Hans quick release pulls.
I've kicked around getting the Simpson FIA Hybrid system (approved for 3 point belts), but I just bought my adjustable Hans in the last two years. However, I spend 50+% of my time on track in student's cars which are pretty much always 3 point belts, so it probably makes sense to get the Simpson... |

Did you say they are faster than your 18in slicks ?

No, they're a great track tire, but not a slick! I did get within 2.7 seconds of my time on slicks. This is really impressive, as the delta between RE71R/NT01 and slicks is about 5 seconds in the 3.2 mile config @ NCM. It means I can probably get in the 2:11-2:12 range on fresh take-offs. Those times are pretty rediculous for a non-aero street car.
