We make caster-plates since I could not find any good alternatives. Pm me for info.

 

If you have a car that can win two classes, you want to do this. Two first place contingencies is better than a first and a second place contingency.

 

2 firsts and 1 second are even better then only 2 firsts.

 

I'm hoping to run into some soft ASP classes this year at the events out east. I know the guy who won ASP at Devens last year in a SS Elise. I used to raw-time him at local events in the Z0K.

 

Devens perhaps. Junior ran both the DC and Romulus Pro though last year.

 

I thought I'd add my 2 cents.....Back when I had an ESP car I wanted you guys GONE. Looking back you'd have to admit it didn't make much sense....About the same weight distribution, alot less weight, about the same size tires, much lower gearing and the ability to use that gearing, and power.

But why in hell everyone thinks the sky is falling in SM is beyond me....Mark is an EXCELLENT driver. And he finally got it done........But Bob moved on........
The end of SM world isn't over for everyone else yet......BUT I REALLY REALLY want them to let us (2wd 275 or under) drop 200lbs!!

I say leave the AWD cars alone, and wait n' see.....Not THAT hard is it??

 

when will we find out if they pass those rules jarrod brought up

 

Anyone have a link to somewhere that sells a suction cup window mount for the Race Tech. DL-1?? Much appreciated! Thanks!

 

So who's looking fast on the west coast these days? Any non-EVOs kicking butt? Anyone know if Vic's car sold?

 

Fast in SM on the west coast? Anybody who chooses to run SM in the Lieber/Tak/Berry/Grice Evo (assuming that they get their motor back to its pre-El Toro condition).

Saying that there has been a downturn in SM participation would be an understatement. Not only have Bob Tunnell and Vic Sias moved on to other classes, but there don't even seem to be any SM cars sponsored by or affiliated with Bimmerhaus or Sias Tuning.


My guess is that 2007 Nationals showed that the Evo (or perhaps specifically the Evo IX) might be the car to have in both SM and BSP. Those without an Evo are avoiding the classes, and those with an Evo get spanked once by Tom Berry in his BSP Evo and realize how far they are from being competitive there (much less SM). At El Toro, Tom put a spanking on some very talented ASP and CSP fields; the only cars faster on DOT tires were the SM2 uber-RX7s of Strelnieks and McKee.

 

based on past experience if I am not winning my local pax by about 2 seconds in the 08 season it's not worth competing agains that car...I know more about my own car this year than I did last year so I might be faster but that's a lot faster to be, if things don't change dramatically I am not going to go to nationals to get 8th again for the 3rd year in a row, it's not worth the money..

 

I was wondering if someone could help with a question. Are you allowed to run a wastegate dump tube? I was under the assumption that this was not allowed as per the exhaust exiting behind the driver rule.

 

Can't do it. The wastegate must dump into the exhaust. Then the exhaust must exit behind the driver or wherever.

 

Anyone have an answer to this guy's question? Who is using the DL1 and how/where did you mount it?

 

I mounted my DL1 in the cubby hole in the dash (i had to swap the cubby in from my gsr). It's a real professional looking zip tie/duct tape job.
