Mark, you just tell me what temp you want the tires, I'll get 'em there...plus or minus 5 degrees, of course

Dang...I hope I don't have to find out how negotiable "non refundable" tickets and hotels really are!
You talk to Chris or John at TR?

Steve's car can get it done. Based on what I have seen from that class this year it is still ripe for the picking. So long as you don't run after the walk break.

I was fortunate that our local Discount Tire sponsor was able to secure me a set of 255/40-17 Hankooks with the help of a good friend. On top of that they also shave them at this store and gave me the best shave job I have ever seen. A lot of other people are still sitting on backorder for their Nats tires .... I could probably rent my wheels and tires out to someone with an S2000 in STR for big bucks if I was willing to chance the wear ...

I've found the taller sidewall on the 255/40-17 Hankooks to be very forgiving at the limit.
Good luck at Nats. I'll be routing for you and the handful of other RX-8 folks in STX.

Tom, good luck to you and Jay! You both have been driving so well this year and I know you'll do great! Jason is an outstanding co-driver. Just make sure he doesn't break anything on your car. 
He's got a history with Chris Harvey and me, just kidding, well only half kidding! 
I wish all of you guys in CS and STX good luck! I'm really going to miss being there, but I'm sure I'll be checking SoloLive constantly and cheering for the spinning doritos. Drive fast!
