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?

definately bassakwards, i would totaly use those hoosiers for rain tires and the RA1s for the drive to the track on the trailer

cmon put those ho hos on for the sprint, and dont push your RA1s too hot, i felt they took alont longer to get grip back once they overheat the ho hos but could just be me.

?? Do you mean the HoHos or the RA1s overheating? Do you mean during an enduro?

Based on your comments, overheating does not apply to you. It only happens if you drive fast
