Autocrossed last Saturday and Sunday at Stockton. It was friggen hot (100 degrees & 90 degrees). Got very tan over the weekend lol.

On the positive side, high ambient temps meant the Hankooks didn't need as much warming up as they usually do. Tires measured up to 130 degrees after a run. They were far better than @ Marina with ambient of 60 degrees.

Course was better than expected for Stockton. Not many opportunities for power but there were some good long sweepers. 50 second course so it was tight. I worked on braking earlier and less. Upset the car less before a turn, maintain a higher corner speed and exit corners at a higher RPM for better power delivery.

Was able to take home the win on both days in FS. Still waiting for the results to see how I did vs PAX. Was a fun weekend to get some seat time in.

Tire Update: 66 runs = 2-3/32" of tread. About $7/run in terms of tire wear.
