2. Unless you paid for them to be heat cycled from the TireRack, don't forget to heat cycle the tires prior to your first event.

OK. Thanks for the input. I was planning on running the first couple events on my street tires since it will still be cool around here in April anyhow. I just bought them now since they are on clearance and I have a somewhat limited budget. I should be running as a novice this year anyhow, so the street tires won't matter too much. I want to be competitive, but also realize that I have a lot to learn first. Either way, it's all fun!
