Alright well I am heading back out to the track next weekend for a club day. The track should be prepped a little better than the test and tune night that I ran at last time and instead of it being in the 30's at night its going to be in the 70's during the day so hopefully it wont be spinning near as much. Haven't been able to order a set of caltracs yet (they will be done this weekend) and still need to get a set of DR's for it but that'll be done shortly too.

Fingers crossed for hitting in the 14's on street tires
