Couple years later while endurance racing I got a good taste at TWS in College Station, TX. I was poor so the magic wet Tires weren't an option but I did see just how far you can push a street DOT race tire. (back then they did have some tread grooves). Everyone should feel it just once.

I'm really interested in that sort of racing... I'd really like to learn more about it... just seems more my speed I think... steady... ya know? not that I'd ever actually race... just I wanna learn more about it... wonder if they show it on tv at all
