Pirelli Dragon Super Corsa DOT's about $265 a set from track day vendors.

T-2 at T-Hill can be tough on tires if your air pressure is a little low. 22 psi cold Ducati 1098


Better air pressure worse suspension set-up, rebound, compression, and preload need some attention. 24 psi cold Ducati 1098


Relatively close air and suspension settings. 26 psi cold KTM 1190, less tq than the Ducati.


Here's one of many tuning videos by cycle suspension guru Dave Moss:

Just because it's cool here's the KTM RC8 track bike with a 45/200/17 Michelin Slick:

In all honesty I'm not positive but I think it's T-11.....uphill tight left-hander. I remember Dito down in the grass between T-10 & 11 and I think the tree is in the pit area even though it looks closer.

Found this video shot a year prior: http://youtu.be/hvBr5u1uQKg if nothing else it's a good watch and I'd definitely take that car out for a session there.

I think your right. I was going to edit my response and say 11 after rethinking that chain link fence.
Those pics you added are awesome. I cant wait to get back there.

Stopped by the shop today for a status report and they'd just received the green light from State Farm. The inspector doesn't think the fire was caused by the carb, possibly a fuel line leak. Reasoning was the venturi's would be blackened and they are clean. Looks like they might be supplementing a new Holley HP.
