Yea its too early to install "summer" tires.  Summer tires are dangerous under 40° but really should not be used under 50°.

Last year it was 80° in March. 

I also ordered a set of tires :)  I got a set of Falken 615K  They were the cheapest option for the miata.  Discount Tire Direct had a $50 discount on that tire.

Ya, I have 2 sets of stock wheels. One for summer, one for snows. So worst case I can swap back to the snows in about 15 minutes.

This time last year I was definitely on summer tires. I had them put on before the roundtable weekend (and subsequently found out that one of my valvestems leaked). Then again, this time last year we were packing for Las Vegas... :)]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 10:35:37 +0000 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=3012&title=what-tires#3012 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=3011&title=what-tires#3011 Author: colbeykd

Just to add to the rain thing... according to TireRack's initial tests, the Z2 does considerably better in the rain than the Z1.

So I've found a bit more info from GoPro (forget the source at the moment) but the general claim was that DigitalRev was using GoPro's stock images without permission and they showed up in the sidebar on multiple pages of their site. So the DMCA notice apparently called out more URLs than just the review in question - but they were seemingly edited out of DigitalRev's initial post.

As I said on Facebook, this still leaves 2 questions...

1) If the issue is with the images, why does the notice still call out the GoPro and Hero trademarks as the problem?

2) If GoPro's latest update is correct and they're just trying to have the images removed from the store, it may be important to know that DigitalRev is NOT an authorized reseller of GoPro cameras. Of course they are not breaking any laws in selling them, but it would appear that GoPro may be simply bullying the site to either "encourage" them to be a reseller or to hurt their sales. Either way, I don't think either of those options look very good for GoPro.

Still investigating...]]> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:51:20 +0000 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=3003&title=gopro-internet-fail#3003 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=3002&title=gopro-internet-fail#3002 Author: ack154

I'm basically copying and pasting this from my Facebook post, so my apologies if you've already seen it - but I wanted to get the links and not have to write the whole thing out again.

If I still had a GoPro and read this, I'd probably keep using it and just deal with it, but it does truly make me reconsider an upgrade for this year. I'm just waiting to see what they do and how it plays out.

Copy/Paste Below:

There is a LOT of discussion going around about GoPro and their (mis)use of a DMCA takedown notice on DigitalRev. Their latest response of "clarification" to me only proved that they have no understanding of what the DMCA is or is to be used for (for one, it is not for trademarks). I'm seriously reconsidering that upgrade to a Hero3 for this season.

The origin: http://www.digitalrev.com/article/gopro-doesn-t-like-their/ODUyNjU2ODc_A
The "response": http://www.reddit.com/r/gopro/comments/1anq5d/gopro_doesnt_like_you_to_use_their_name_dmca_abuse/c8z8hdm (excellent replies to this too)
Another takedown: http://elscottharrell.com/gopro-cameras-sent-me-an-infringement-notice-silly-bastards/ (would love to see the followup to this)

It sounds to me like they've hired some "brand management" company that is taking things far to serious with a less than adequate understanding of what they're even supposed to be doing. There's still a lot to figure out in this whole mess, but if this is the road they want to take with their users and fans, I'm no longer all that interested in their new offerings.]]> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:43:34 +0000 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=462&PID=3002&title=gopro-internet-fail#3002 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=2996&title=what-tires#2996 Author: jayjaya29

I've run the Z1's in heavy heavy rain and had no issues, I would expect the same of the Z2's. ]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 02:15:55 +0000 http://www.glen-scca.org/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=460&PID=2996&title=what-tires#2996
