How many drive to DE days on DOT race rubber?

That's kind of funny, a DE isn't even a competitive event. I don't even have new tires for most SCCA regionals.

The POC hosts a DE series called PDS (Performance Driving Series). If they are interested, drivers can compete by car class against same level cars and driver experience. End of year class winners are awarded trophies. Its a great starting series and its a lot more fun when you're keeping time against your friends. The upper level classes include GT race cars and those guys are competitive in any situation.

Last year I drove to 20 autocross events on Nitto NT01's. like everyone else said, no worries unless it is raining. This year I'm trying to do it on Hoosier A6 tires...

Maybe you're with the wrong group?
JK, I know it's for fun ......

I go on street tires, one day I'll get some R comp's and go crazy.

How far is any one driving to a DE? I drive to Autocross events there a 36 mile drive one way. The closest DE is 90 miles one way. the average for me is 200- 300 miles. So I bought a light trailer and tow my car.

Typically varies from 20 to 350 miles depending on the track. Might drive the 700 miles to Miller Motorsports Park this fall.

I typically drive up to 200 miles each way on NT-01s. If going to Miller I would probably drive there on street Kooks and have someone transport tires for me at a small beer fee. Simpler and much less hassle than a trailer, tow vehicle etc.
