Thanks Don, I kinda knew you'd be the one with some
real data.!

Engine running - and do a little burnout after the
green flag but before the timing light for the rears.
The old BFG R1's seemed ultra temperature sensitive in
this regard, anything below 60 degrees and they just
didn't work. I'm hearing of folks putting
(non-electric) blankets over tires between runs

I'd measured (on a clockwise course) my front left and
rear right getting hottest - with corresponding
pressure increases. It's been a while, so I'll try
this with NASA at the weekend to validate. This may
indicate a problem with my driving/setup.

OK, that's a starting point, I'll see if I can hold
Hoosiers at 110. Now I only have to find my
pyrometer...
