Hahahah!!!

I sold my Chickenhawk tyre warmers after 1st season. Didn't need them with soft Alpha-13SP tyres. Used Q3+ this season and didn't need warmers either. With all waiting around for earlier race waves to go off and waiting for green flag to drop, tyres lose all heat from warmers anyway. I just make sure to do as many full-throttle and full-braking efforts as possible on warm-up lap.

For practice track-days, I just take 1st lap at 75-80%, then 2nd lap at 95% and they're good to go.

None of my coaches or track-day instructors had warmers either, and they all used slicks.
