OK, thanks Jason.  Garth and the other Touring guys don't need to worry about heat-cycling street tires....Bob is loosing it. This is what happens to a man who has too many toys and not enough time to play with all of them!   ;-]>
   
  Of course Bob was running (and like you trophied in his 1st ORR) a 140 MPH Average at his rookie run at Silver State so I'm not surprised he got some attention at Tech Inspection.
