The only good thing is I just got new tires (R888) and ROW M030 is being installed friday so I guess the car will be as good as it can be...now it just comes down to me.

The wrx in the sig is taken at big willow. You better break in your new tires as soon as possible... SOW in the rain is actually fun because you get to drift around and the staffs won't get upset because they wouldn't know you were doing it purposely. big willow in the rain is probably gonna suck IMO... It is all about high speed on that track but you wont be able to push your limit.
drive safe.


Turn 8 I did 95mph and then I hit 135 in the front straight. I am sure I could go even faster if I was driving my 986S w/ S03 tires since this car is so smooth at high speed.

How do I break the tires in? I won't be getting my hands on the car until Friday with new tires and suspension and will be driving to the track with the track tires on. Is there something I should do to break them in?
