Not on a track yet but may be at VIR on Sept 16. Other than that used mostly for fun cruisin around. Unless I get addicted the 16th.

I had those MPS2's on many sports cars and loved them. I will probably replace the Pirelli's with them when it's time.

Scott,
So all the cars are "badged" with BFG stickers, but they run Michelins on the car?

Wikipedia - don't know how true or untrue this is

Even though B.F. Goodrich is still a popular brand name of tires, the Goodrich Corporation exited the tire business in 1988. The tire business and use of the name was sold to Michelin. Before the sale to Michelin, Goodrich ran television and print ads showing an empty expanse of blue sky, to distinguish themselves from the similar-sounding Goodyear tire company. The tag line was, "See that blimp up in the sky? We're the other guys!"
Michelin - In addition to the Michelin brand, it also owns the BFGoodrich, Taurus, Riken, Kormoran and Uniroyal (in North America) tyre brands. It is also notable for its Red and Green travel guides, its roadmaps, the Michelin stars that the Red Guide awards to restaurants for their cooking, and for its company mascot Bibendum, colloquially known as the Michelin Man.

Lol - A track that is only 3 hours away can be considered your home track
Road courses are far and few between, unlike circle tracks and Walmarts which can be squeezed into a few acres. Both VIR and Road Atlanta are about 3 hours from me and I consider them both home tracks. I consider a long trip to a track one where you start out when the sun comes up and you're barely arrive when the sun is going down.

Staying on topic, my Boss will be on track in 2012.

Wait ... what everyone does not have two tracks - half hour and two hours south, one an hour and half west and one 2 hours north?

I'm a lucky boy now I just need to learn to drive, using just 10% of what I got from Miller will improve me 300% (thanks Charlie!)

Going shopping for a new car this week to replace the Boss as my defacto daily driver. Hopefully I won't take to much of a bath on the BMW as a trade. Wish me luck.
