we put a little more on Luke and the Sti's after the long course. we now have a 30 point lead in class and moved up to 7th overall

Word has it that the Henessy viper dropped an oil pump too and that they might be out of it.

You should gain some good points with the drag event tomorrow and further distance yourself from Top Speed, can't wait to see the results. Great job guys!

I think it's cool to see topspeed doing well also. Should of put more cash into the suspension, from watching the video's it's too soft and you are getting some roll.

It is good to see Lukes STI Doing that well. That car has been fine tuned for two years and Luke has tons of seat time in it. I cant remember who sponsored the car last year but it was just as much of a handfull then. Now with Doug from Top speed this year as a ride along tech it makes the car even more reliable.

That yellow car also probabl has relocated suspension points, lowering the stock bodywork that low would disrupt the suspension geometry and mess it up, we are as low as the stock suspension should go and still work.

Yep, we need more suspension development time, part of racing. It will get there.

Right now, the Kumho MXs are hurting us the most, check racerjon.com for a mid-day update soon.

I love the fact you have a guy named Ivan. That would mak my crew complete.

just the same...what kind of tires are you guys running?


If I may make a suggestion, I would definitely look into something in the bridgestone RE01R nature...

A friend just put a set on an 06 STi and the difference betwen the BFS 070's (sticky to start) was substantial.


I dont know, I just like tire talk...you guys could sit me down and tell me everything you forgot about tires and I would still need a notebook...

Just the same, I was impressed with the RE01R's

The reason I brought it up is I dont know what the rules are, if you are allowed one set of tires, more than one....etc etc.

I personally would like to campaign next year, the car has been taken apart and inventoried...

Thing is, no money for a widebody.....just the same Im sure if I got into it anything over last place is worth it.

Guys have any tips?

That is of course if you arent running multiple sets of Hoosiers....etc etc.

Like I said, I have yet to read the rules. Which reminds me, any links to the set of rules and classes?
