Well in that case I see absolutely no reason for you to be worried about cold tires going into turn 1 I mean if it's a track day, that's a different story, but if you're talking racing, I bomb into turn 1 pretty hard & have never had a turn 1 crash... and that's probably about 5 minutes after my warmers have come off.... longer if there's a re-start.
(Of course I say that as I'm packing for this weekends races )

Yeah, just talking about track days. Racing is too expensive for. Track days satisfy my need for speed plenty. If I could afford to race I would, then I would be forced to go hot into 1. But it's a mental barrier I don't need to cross just doing track days.
