This might be a little off topic, but why isn't Warrtalon a moderator yet? He seems to be very knowledgeable, has a professional relationship with Buschur Parts, has like a jillion posts, and has now graced the cover of an auto magazine. What else would one have to do?

his ties to a vendor makes him a less likely candidate for being a mod because he can be less impartial sometimes. Also, Warr has a somewhat abrasive personality that has on occasion put him at odds with certain other mods.. I do value what Warr brings to the community. Now back OT.

Warr, how were the ST615's on the sand. There's a rallycross not to far in the future, and I'm interested. I was really impressed the 615's at the HPDE that I did a couple weeks ago (they got a bit greasy after 25 min but held up well)
That's a great photo btw.

Damn Warr that is such a bad a- - pic.... Will you be coming to VIP on the 19th for the tuning sessions? I have always enjoyed asking you ( 100 PM's a day, lol) since you ALWAYS RESPOND with helpful information..thanks. Great to see the hard work is paying off.......that pic is sweet!

Greg, no, the RT615s (not ST) are awful in the dirt/sand/rock. The photographer who took that pic also runs our local SCCA rally-x region, and he said that my even my worn Blizzaks would have been better, although they would have torn up quickly. I highly recommend the 255/40-17 RT615s for daily driving, drag racing, and even HPDE/auto-x (for those who can't afford race tires), but I do not recommend them for rallycross. I, too, was very impressed with my RT615s at my last HPDE, and that's even with having Kumho V710s that are awesome. I put down the 4th fastest lap of the weekend despite the street tires.
BoostingEvo8, nah man, I live in CO, so I can't attend. If I was still in DC, I'd be at VIP the whole weekend!

Just wondering why you dont have any stickers for your sponsors on the car. Certainly that would have been great exposure for them on such a grass roots magazine. Now that I got my issue in the mail all I see is an Exedy sticker.
Congrats on the pic though.

I don't like stickers, so I only run magnets besides the one Exedy sticker - they required it. I daily drive my car and don't want it littered with stickers, especially with 9 sponsors. Those who want exposure like that give me magnets, but as you can see, most don't really care.
I didn't expect to get on the cover of the magazine, so that was a welcome surprise. You probably can't even read the 2 magnets that I _do_ have due to the angle unfortunately...
