Published on 29 May, 2025

Was sort of a rough weekend due to overall tiredness and Fedex not delivering my new Maxxis VR2 tires in time. 

First lap is Saturday after a few people drove my car (Nate, Justin, and Cory), which put the old VR2s at a crazy heat cycle count (they did a previous Enduro (2.5hr race, practice, and 2 qualifies). Nate did a 1.43.9XX in the morning and I did this 1.45.4xx at end of the day on basically cords. 

Second laps are Sunday with Maxxis RC1 we got from our friend @jayspins and we had just finished racing those in a 2.5hr enduro. Multiple 1.44s escaped me due to traffic, but regardless I was expecting more time. Likely the long heat cycle didn't play well with this compound. 

Personally I am excited to get back on the VR2s for whatever event we do next.
