Peter,
IMHO, you may want to consider using the Hoosiers for the sprints, and use the RA1's for the enduro. The pace for the Enduro should be less stressful. Plus the RA1's will keep getter better through wear, versus the Hoosiers which might start getting a bit greazy, depending upon their actual previous wear. Plus, if your car is not ABS equipped, you may find the Hoosiers will take some getting used to avoid flat spotting. Once flat spotted, the Hoosiers will become increasingly challenging in braking zones.

BTW, what are you using for Rains?
