Whether you’re a weekend warrior campaigning in a Corvette in Autocross, or battling for national points in a Formula Vee, new products from Bridgestone can help make you a front-runner. We have the winning formula for Showroom Stock racers: RET1R PotenzaRE71Rs. These race-bred street radials have a softer, higher-grip
compound designed to deliver high performance on wet or dry circuits, In fact, Fred ("Fast Freddy") Baker drove his Porsche 944 Turbo to the 1987 SCCA Showroom Stock GT class national championship on RE7LRs (shaved to racing depth). Bridgestone FormulaVee tires are built to take the brutal heat cycles of a race weekend without sacrificing performance. They have something else club racers want: durability. Bridgestone’s nationwide Motorsports Distribution Network
gives you toll-free, buy-by-phone service, advice on compounds and pressures, plus technical help on shaving, mounting and balancing. For details, contact Kendall Racing.
