You probably know this but Mike has been doing some suspension tuning lately and has gotten faster yet.
I think there will be a lot more tire choices in 200 TW in 2015 because of SCCA adopting the 200 TW standard. There are much better tires than Falken and Goodrich but not in our sizes yet. Rival will also have a new autox compound so they might be great next year, hard to tell though.

Bruce,
In the front I am running BFG Rivals 255/40/17 on 17x8.5's and out back I am running Nitto NT05's 315/35/17 on 17x10.5's.
Yes, the Rivals suck when cold, but the Falkins suck when hot and it is normally
HOT in Texas...
BFG has been teasing me with release dates on 275/40/17's for my fronts and 315/35/17's for my rears for a year now, every time I call them they push the dates back a little bit...
I will end up with 275/40/17's on 17x9.5's in the front and 335/30/18's on 18x12's on the back next year.
I heard rumor that Kumho was going to restamp their Ecsta XS from 180 to 200.
Yes I know Mike is playing with his suspension, two weeks ago I was 0.7 behind Mike, this past Sunday he beat me by 2.6. He has a setup now where he can swap out springs between runs.... My biggest detractor is my open diff, but I am working on that...
Mike is chasing Brian Hobaugh and I am chasing Mike....
Kevin.....
