It was a BIG relief! haha I was so annoyed that I couldn't get it when everyone else could! I'll have to update the thread I started in case someone else is having the same problem.

Oh you can go to hell
This mid-ohio event thing looks like a good time, I hope to attend one day.
Yeah... that's usually how it starts. For me, it started after chasing DaveB around when he was doing a lot of track events at Mid-Ohio. I got a ride along in his instructor's car, and the rest is history. But... I've also been able to suppress my urge in the end. I think it's because I'm kept too busy to think about it.
Yea, the expenses are already adding up, and I haven't even committed to an event yet! lol
Brake work (pads, rotors, fluid, maybe SS lines pending price) and track time alone would be hundreds of dollars. Borrowing a helmet would save some money for now, but what if we were all on the track at the same time? And I still wonder if the condition of my tires is ok. Definitely don't have the money to buy a new set this year.

Gotta pay to play. If I could be in to racing RC cars, I totally would. But we don't really get to choose what we're passionate about. Unfortunately auto racing is expensive. But SO much fun.

You can always find used wheels/tires for great prices. Just ask Ivan.

Haha very very true. I got really lucky with my wheels for both track and winter. The Rays I bought are each over 400 dollars a piece and the set of tires on them are approximately 600. I bought a $2000 set of wheels and tires for 550 shipped. My winter wheels and tires cost $1100 all together and I spent $400.
I look at all the for sale sections a few minutes a day and check out what seems good. The deals are out there. I will be getting into the whole track thing at the same time you will so I'm just as new at all of it haha.

Everyone was getting a boner over your rust-free P5 at the corral. It's in such good shape, and I can't think of a better person to have it, as I know you'll maintain it!

Haha....I feel thuper special now!!
Hopefully I can keep it looking good through these winters. I bought a set of Hankook iPike winter tires on steelies from my neighbor's brother (sold his p5), and every time I glance at them in the basement, I shudder a little bit.
I also get annoyed at all the door dings on the car. It's clean, rust wise, but pretty much every panel has a ding/dent in it! I'm not about to fix and repaint the whole car though, I might just get them PDR'd one day so they're not as much of an eye sore...

had a setup exactly like that for the winter for my P5. Those are good tires. Got me through 2 winters before I sold the car. Still had a s*** ton of tread left too.
I hope they fit! They're about an inch taller than my current setup, but the offset probably isn't as wide, so I should be fine.
I need to test fit them to make sure. Probably should've done that before buying, but his p5 was lowered too, so I figured it'd be fine.

Oh they'll fit, my winter tires are even bigger (185/70R14) and they fit great!
