Yeah, I made an arrangement with Cliff so that I could purchase the digital copies instead of purchasing the printed copies (his main business), so the ones you see posted are higher quality digital versions where he puts his name in smaller letters at the bottom instead of big letters across the middle.

That's what I figured, I just went back and read the fine print.

One of our tracks for the NASA-RM region is Sandia in Albuquerque, but we only hit that once this year during our last event...

Hey Warr, quick question.... where do you get your wheel spacers?

I see you're running a lot of meat and you say you need a spacer for the offset. Just curious because i plan on getting a Evo when I get back from Iraq and i've really come to love auto-x. ( 4 events - Las Vegas region )

I got my rims from Robi (robispec.com) who knew exactly what would fit and how it would fit, so he then had the spacers made accordingly and then shipped them to me along with the rims. I did not buy them separately from a business who makes spacers - Robi took care of it all.

Not full slicks and not Hoosiers.

Kumho V710s, which are referred to as DOT slicks, since they're technically DOT-approved thanks to the 2 small grooves they have on the inside.

No issues with rock chips behind the wheel wells? The course you guys run on looks to get a lot of dust and junk from the surrounding area.

It's all part of the game Most people who race care less about little chips etc. than using their cars to their full potential. If you are driving your car really hard and the only negative result you suffer is a few paint chips, I'd be grateful. although I have seen some people go to great lenths to minimize such damage by covering areas prone to cone and ship marks with tape.

Some do, some don't. I used the blue 3M painters tape, which comes off easily. It only takes 2 minutes to cover the area behind the wheel wheel.
