Sixshooter's Slow Torture™ Build Thread

We run XR1-Front, XR2-Rear on most of our race cars, but they are fully prep'd, R-compound only sort of race cars. I wonder if you might like the XR1 though.
I've never gone from XR2 on the front of a car, to XR1 and NOT liked it. It's worked on every car I've tried it, but none of them were a miata.
Depending on how grippy of a tire you're going to be using in the future, you might want to try the XR1 the next time you need to buy pads. As long as you're using tires that have grip levels as high or higher than the Contis you ran at Sebiring, I think you'll like them.
Also, big props for tracking a turbo miata, that sort of activity seems to be getting pretty rare around here...

I appreciate the recommendation on the pads. I may step up at some point and use fresh tires and need better pads but these were a good match for the older Contis. The fellow I bought the pads from said they would last five or six track weekends but I am already halfway through them. I only ran 6 of 8 sessions in the weekend, too.
I wonder how the DTC series compares to the XR series for feel and performance. Anybody have experience with both?

Before (Corrado 11 inch BBK):
Looky here.
So sexy.
V8 Roadsters 11.75 inch BBK. It sure is nice living within 8 miles of V8R's shop. Shandelle is a hell of a nice guy.
ARP extended lug nuts are on order from Summit. Hopefully I can get them in before the track day next weekend.

Speaking of which, I would like to go to a dyno sometime soon to see what it is actually doing.
