Yeah Im thinking about going back to El Toro for the 10th of Aug or Streets of Willow sometime in Sept. It all depends on cash flow and weather not i've bought better tires because while my Nexen N3000 tires are a great bargin and grip well on the streets, they did very bad at the autocross for 2 reasons.

First was that the tarmac on the airfield is pretty old and doesnt have any black sticky tar left on it anymore, you can see white and grey rock surfaces in the tarmac already

second is the tread wear rating on the N3000 is 349 which is about 149 higher than you really want it to be for auto-x so that made it very slippery, to the point where i felt like I had shopping cart wheels
