Nitto NT05 275 fronts and 305 rears they are great street tires but not really suited for track life it was very easy to find there limit in a track environment

I know your wheels will be right at home on the track I just need to get a pair now....

What wheels are they?

Nice pictures... car looks great too.

How much track experience do you have? If you're looking for more grip and are comfortable running slicks, there are some excellent deals out there on scrubs, if you haven't seen them already. I finally switched from street tire to slicks at the end of this past season and instantly was addicted to the grip. Unbelievable difference.

Looks like a great day though! Would love to drive the west coast tracks at some point.

Very nice, like the others said, we dig the wheels too..

Tracks days, about as much fun as a fella can have with his clothes on.

Not to hijack your thread, but here are a couple of pix from two weeks ago at Laguna Seca. We run a lot of events at LS, Sears Point, and Thunderhill. You drive those three tracks, you'll never go back to BW, plus they're a lot closer than hiking all the way down there....

Keep checking www.norcal-saac.org for upcoming track dates in 2015

Not much at all this is my first time in car little other then In a shift kart. So a lot to learn still.
I know most everyone runs a second set of tire for the track but I'm not ready for that so I'm going to swap my tires for a set of toyo R888 or hankook rs3 as the car is driven on the street but is strictly good weather weekend toy.

Awesome boss man, I'm shooting for thunder hill next time only went to button willow cause I had a great deal from a buddy of mine (free) and I trailered my car down. But I don't see my self doing that again anytime to soon its a hassle. I think the issue with my car at laguna and Sears point is the noise level my car is very loud. That's also why I went to button willow as they have no noise constraint.

Love your car man and shoot me a PM when you head to thunderhill. I just had wrist surgery so I won't be out there for the next month or so but after that its game on, my wife is out there more than I am so maybe I can meet a fellow SVTP'er on the track
