Back when I lived in Alabama we had a neat place to autocross. It was several acre concrete pad with two 5,000 foot runways on each side. It was a military installation near Dothan AL that they did not use on weekends so we got to use it. I think it was called Hunt Air Station. Man that is testing my old brain cells.
One weekend my tires were pretty much shot but I wanted to play some more. I put the cones up on the entrance of the runway and I had my own mile long runway to play on. I would get up to 60 or 70 and yank on the steering wheel and start spinning. I managed to scrub all 4 tires down to the cords. I had to drive back home to Montgomery and it was about 90 miles as I remember. That was scary driving on cords. Those are the things a 20 something kid does in a 914.
I replaced those tires with Michelin XWX, which was the best tire on the market.
