Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Pete, like I said, your last run looked really fast until you spun! I think you would have beaten my time if that had not happened.
Kenny, I was ahead of Pete by .5 secs with my second run, and he had 3 runs to beat me. However, it seemed everyone f*cked up in the 3rd/4th run during our heat. A lot of spins into the grass. Chau spun, Pete spun, and I basically threw away my last one also.
I need to buy new tires soon also. The Direzzas are going to go any day now. Tossing the idea of another set, or NT01s, as they are in the same price range. RS-3s are like 200 cheaper though. THoughts?

I agree with you Pete. I pushed them pretty good at Friday's event, and they wore pretty well. Its nice not having to change tires at the track, but Thai has been telling me that the Nittos will last longer since they take heat better, so it got me thinking. I have not heard one bad thing about the Nittos, so I'm sure they are capable. For both tires being the same price, it really comes down to me wanting the hassle of changing tires when I get to the track.
two interesting things from today...
