Look into the Toyo RA-1. One of the guys that works for me put them on his sub 2.5 rs and he really like them for road racing and strip. They have some wet traction capabilities also. Plus it is the chosen tire for 2 of the racing circuits this year, one of them being for the Miata. Also can be very competivly priced. If you check prices on any of them, let me know and I will tell you if someone is trying to take you for a ride. By the way, Hoosier has 2 competition tires, one for road racing and one for auto-x. 2 entirelly different compounds. Auto-x tires heats up ALOT quicker because you are only running for about 30-45sec at a time. Road tires usually take 1-2 laps depending on circumstances to heat up to full traction. Have fun, and let me know if any Road racing going on around Indy that I don't know of.
