The key is differentiating between protesters and opportunist. If it were even possible I think we'd be hard pressed to find much crossover between the people rioting and looting and the people protesting. I would venture to say there's less than 1% carryover from the two groups. The problem I see is that most of us can't separate the two groups. It's like lumping every Catholic in with every rapist priest or person who drinks alcohol with every alcoholic. Also, as stated before, I am not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist but if I look at this from a strategic point of view I see a great way for a group to push an agenda by burning down businesses and looting stores especially when I know the cause and effect won't be clearly defined by the media.

Exactly, and the reports of black owned businesses being destroyed along with everything else I think is showing that there are opportunistic extremist groups using this to cause chaos.

This unlawful execution is bringing out the worst in everybody, a few riots should not dismiss the black lives matter movement the same way a few bad/corrupt police departments should not call for all law enforcement to be shut down.

Some shots from the June Sprints today. Lens was giving me errors all day, 50/50 chance I wouldn't be able to take a picture.

That’s Tim Schreyer in the white EP BMW. The car is light (somewhere in the 2300 lb range I think?), a built m20, and stupid fast.
I was going to ask if anyone knew him. The car is 2200 lbs. How built is the M20? When I asked(I think it was dad) when they were on the false grid, he said it was a stock M20. Guessing he meant stock as in N/A. Thing is a screamer, sounded great down in the Kettle Bottoms.
Said they ran a 2:29 on Friday which fast for a ~200 some horse power box on wheels.
Also saw this up behind 6. Was gutted and had a half cage.

I was looking at tire deals tonight and came across what seemed to be too good to be true. It might be. Bridgestone turanza serenity plus for 118 a tire, normally 310. Catch is they are 3 years old. You think a 3 year old new tire is still trustworthy? They also come with a 2 year road hazard warranty that covers 100% reimbursement if they are not repairable or 25 per wheel if they are repairable.

I'd stored correctly there's nothing wrong with them. Is it a reputable source?

They are from tirerack
I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

Any of you cool cats or kittens ever played around with Federal tires?
Looking at the Federal Evo ST-1, can get 4 of em in my oddball desired size of 235/40/19 for under $400 shipped. I'm assuming they're not fantastic, super sticky, long living tires. But, they might be a good stop gap for me to see if I want to go up to that size from my 225s.

I’m sure they’ll be fine

You're getting black and round. Federal isn't the worst out there by any means but it's not what I'd buy unless I planned on burning them off. There's actually a ton of options in that size due to the popularity of big skinny rims nowadays so if it's a choice driven by a lack of options I'd encourage you to look further. If it's price motivated then these will scratch that itch.
