i've read that Raybestos underate working temp and carbotech overate working temp.

that is about the dumbest website I've ever come across. I wonder how/if they ever get any orders. I called and left a message, hopefully someone will return my call.

Thai, you suck! Unless you can make warminster, then you're alright in my book again.

I'm under review too. I realized that the organizer is someone different. He may not want all of us there.

I got the same message. I'll bet you're right. I'm an RTR member so hopefully they'll not hold the car I drive against me.

The evos did dominate last year as well as George Leung. I'm sure they didn't like that. I'm going to see what is being said on the rtr forums if there is one.

Dan,

Marc is right and so are you, technique is most important and driving correct line makes for some fast runs. Still I say floor it in the straight, no harm or break in concentration unless you let it, right. my worthless $.02

In all seriousness you should do what ever you feel comfortable with, no need to overdrive the car or drive past your own limits.
