Update....
did 2 days at the track last weekend and could not be happier with the Dunlop Star Spec tires.
Tons of grip, never got greasy, super responsive. Set a club track record for my class as well.
I have another AX week after next and will see how they perform after being heat cycled a lot last weekend
If you are looking for a great street tire that performs super well at the track, I highly recommend them

After 3 years on Toyo R888's, I just purchased a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's. R888's were pretty well worn after track and AX events, plus the 200 rating on the Potenza's gets me into a different class for AX. Friends have AXed these tires and LOVE them, so I figured time to give them a try...anyone else running these?

Yes, that is what I hear. No way they are 200's, but hey- just following the rules :-)
