They were great. I simply drove too hard at points to really experience the grip. I need to slow up earlier on the hairpins as a little bit of my center tread started ripping/rolling from accelerating while in full understeering. But other than that, when I got in the groove on the Slalom, I felt very confident.

If they looked like this I'd say it's fairly normal

Some balling up of the tires is fairly normal on a tire in this category. The tires on the Miata were covered in the balled up spent rubber after my last track day.

Long break is over!
This weekend: San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton! Bunch of us running SM in the afternoon group Saturday will be leaving Sacramento around 09:00, and in the morning group Sunday leaving around 06:30.
Going to be a warm one, but not as hot as original forecast. Looking at sub-100s for both days instead of the 105 and 101, respectively, originally projected. Still bring water, a big hat, and slather on the sunscreen for you fairer complected folks!
Weeeee much excite!

It was a learning experience this weekend. Didn't take 1st this time in DS but I did reach a new personal level of understanding along with my humble pie.
Here was my sloppy but fastest third run.
