My wallet is starting to hurt just thinking about all of this.

Dean is a better driver than many other miata drivers, he can make alot of different cars go fast, no matter if they are on street tires or race tires. Not sure that is worth making a comparison on.
Re: cost of race vs. street tires - it depends on how competitive you want to get. Although they are bigger tires, the Yokohama Advan Neovas we are using for the national events are more $$$'s than the Kumho V710 race rubber.
Unless you want to get super-competitive, or run national events, street tires are probably the way to stay, for Reno Region scca solo events.
