    My only concern is the 20 degree weather in the morning and tires. Doe's anyone have a ballpark idea for tire pressure on the pilot powers in that temp? Just trying to get a head start. Thanks. :)

    The fact of the matter is, your tires are never going to get warm enough to even really care about tire pressures. I would run them at spec. or maybe a few pounds less.

    Rabbit, the track is going to be squirrelly. Last year we had about the same temps....and there were multiple pile-ups in turn 4. Just take your time and go easy on the right hand...smooth....smooth...smooth...



    Just my $.02

    Agreed. Let that left side of the tire get some heat in it.

    I'm not even putting air in mine.... then I am going to light them on fire before I grid up.

    If you wanted any pressure at all, I would say around 28 front 28 rear...pilot powers would require a couple of more than that....out

    That's cool. Thanks guys. I figured it would be squirrely out there. I was hoping the pressure might help a little though. I guess I'll kind of keep it like a rain day in the back of my mind.......SMOOOOOOOOOTH!!! Hope the highs get a little better than what it says though. :shock:
