Here in NC we have a couple serious STU guys. Hope you are ready for Nationals next year, Steven Rankins picked up a 2006 STI and already has some nice Ohlins coil-overs on. He is going for total domination in STU for 2006. As for me I am running in ES with a miata till I can afford to buy and prep a car for STU.

And here I was trying to decide whether to go BSP, STU, or SM next year... if Rankins will be racing here in STU, I'll be in some other class. I have seen him drive many times this year, and I won't get any first places if he's running against me.

I got within 0.6 seconds of him once- but he was in DSP and I was in AS--- and it was pouring rain, with 1 inch of standing water, and he was on DoT R slicks and I was on new Advans.

I'll be at the Milwaukee National Tour for sure because I am helping to host it. I doubt I'll be in STU though this year. BSP is too tempting with the boost rules.

I am so disappointed with that schedule. I live in MI and didn't make it to the Oscoda, MI or Toledo, OH ProSolo last year. I was really looking forward to hitting both this year. With those two off the schedule and the closest one many hours away I will have to pass it up.

I'll see ya at Nationals, though. I will be running SM.

I will most defintely be at Nationals. I think everyone is going for total domination, including myself.

Come on guys. At the very least, try to make it to one of these events. It's way more fun than you think. You get to race all weekend. AND you get to race against new competition. STU needs all the help it can get to make it's presense known. I'm taking a year off GS, maybe more, just to help promote the class.

Ratt,

Could you update the schedules to reflect the location of each event (State). I will be at both the Peru Pro and Tour, Milwaukee Tour, and maybe the DC Pro. Of course the Finale and Nationals in KS. Where is Walnut Ridge?

I will also be attending a good portion of the CenDiv events as well as the local WMR and/or SBR events.

There has got to be more STU Evo's interested in running the Nat and Pro series.

Dave

I am not sure where I will be at all for autocrossing in 06, Rankins sold the RS and I wont be co-driving with him in the STi.

I am hoping to take the AMS Evo to wherever its class fits for Nationals though. (It might be too much for SM, so thinking F-Prepared)

If i dont end up in it I will probably ***** myself out for an STU ride though, help keep the entries up.

(Or maybe just drag my Formula Ford out of mothballs and run C-Mod.)

Since Little Rock, Arkansas is only 12 HOURS away , why don't I fly down and co-drive for both the Tour and Pro and then you can fly up to Peru and co-drive. But then again, 2 driver's at a Pro is murder on a clutch. We will see Mr. F.

Sounds like a plan! I'm assuming you're buying the air fare?
