The tires were driven to the track. When I arrived they were about 80F. I took them out on the track and got them up to about 110F, given the temp gun use after cruising in a ways to the pit area. I don't have one of the poker type temp testers.
I let the car sit about an hour and tires went down to about 60F. I used them one more time. They're stickier hot for certain. I didn't have enough balls to hit the corners any harder than I was given the walls, piles of hay bails and big rocks outside of just about every corner.
I did have fun in the 5/8 mile straight. Top of 4th gear was about 140 mph about half way down that, then I coasted as I didn't see the point of hitting 5th and having the car blow off the road.
