Ah shit. I'm in trouble now.

1,500 track miles is plenty. Even at a "green flag" event where you're out all day, mileage doesn't add up that fast.

Well in that case I see absolutely no reason for you to be worried about cold tires going into turn 1 I mean if it's a track day, that's a different story, but if you're talking racing, I bomb into turn 1 pretty hard & have never had a turn 1 crash... and that's probably about 5 minutes after my warmers have come off.... longer if there's a re-start.
(Of course I say that as I'm packing for this weekends races )

yeah dont expect 1500 track miles, its more like 3 or 4 days if you aren't hard on them depending on how tough your tech is.

Hey Pete will you have that up at the TTDs and if so can I use it?

My first track day my buddy brought his pyrometer (he does car TDs at Loudon a lot) and I was checking my stock shitty OEM dunlops after a session and they were at 140. I'm sure I'm getting the corsa IIIs a decent amount hotter than that now... I want to check it and then ask Boston Moto what their ideal operating temp is. I know my hot pressures were good last time, so I imagine temps should be good as well but I'm just curious.

REALLY depends on your riding. I'm hoping to stretch my Corsa IIIs through this whole season which will be 10 track days.

That's with essentially no street riding thus far though. And I'm fucking slow, too

I guess it will depend if I get significantly faster over the next couple TDs or not. Either way I already have spare wheels that I'll be putting some supercorsas on when the corsa IIIs are shot and then the corsa IIIs will see street duty until the wear bars show up.

Yeah, just talking about track days. Racing is too expensive for. Track days satisfy my need for speed plenty. If I could afford to race I would, then I would be forced to go hot into 1. But it's a mental barrier I don't need to cross just doing track days.

I'm at a point now where a new set of PR's will last only 2 track days. I could get more if I swap the back around though. LVMS is full of rights and just eats up that side. The guy that owns the Michelin tent said it's okay to flip direction on the back Pilot Race, not the front though. I believe him because his was swapped and he was running 1:20 flat out there. Fast as fuck!

You also have to deal with heat none of us are use to at all. It was in the upper 90's at Nashville my last track day and I was surprised how quickly i ate the tires up for one track day. Heat really plays a big part.
