Looks like I need to get my traveling gear together! I have a long-standing invitation from Mr. D'Agnolo to come to Houston for some autocross, and now a trip to my town of birth for a spin in a modified MSM. :-) Cool! Pat |

Bridgestone RE-11 short review
The last Bridgestones on my 99 (several years ago) were good tires for
about two years. They then became so hard that I ended up replacing them. (No stick on autocross turns) Slide, slide, slide.

I may have to ask them. They mention it's great for high powered Miatas, they don't mention std powered cars. Chris 99BBB |
