I think what he meant was there are no competitors in BSP class . . .

And that motor should be over 260 whp bone stock. If you've got cams and bolt ons then you should be able to push 320-350 whp with a good tune.
Just go out and get some experience. Donour's right. Don't do ANYTHING until you learn how to drive the car at the limit. If you can't reach the limits of the car as it is, pushing them farther out won't make you any faster.

Once you decide you really like the sport, you'll justify spending $1000 on tires that you'll get 60 good minutes of use out of. And that motor should be over 260 whp bone stock.

Good advice above, especially abt competing on the street tires. Ideally, you should run a season or two before you should consider the move to r-comps.
As GTLocke said, you should be capable (or close to it) of winning on streeties...
Just go out & have fun & soak in as much info from the fast guys as you can...

I think the reason i missed it is because on the class page, it say just "street perpared" and "street modified" and if i remember correctly the only reason i couldent race street perpared was my cams.

We don't have anyone running in BSP at the moment. There are a few BSP cars, but they all run in classes that are based on PAX factors. I believe Frank just runs SM for the competition. Feel free to PM/email me if you have any other questions about the local events.Originally Posted by ~EVILEVO~

None. Your mind needs to know where the RPMs are, your eyes should be 2 corners ahead. Use something like Evoscan or some other datalogger to collect all the info you need, and review it after the race. If you have time to check out any guages while you are autoxing, you're not pushing things hard enough. Road racing has bigger gaps, but not a good autox course. And you should have enough confidence in how the car is built/tuned/setup that you dont need to be watching guages mid-run anyways.Originally Posted by ~EVILEVO~

It seems to be kind of thin everywhere. Thankfully the EVO/Sti are also competitive in SM when prepped for SP. Hell the pax difference is only .003. Depending on how the Devens NT and DC Pro pan out I may run SM if there is not a full class. Pro class is where I play if given a choice at local/regional events.Originally Posted by crystalhelix

Yeah, sometimes when competitors are few at pros you have more chances at taking home contingency with the SM crowd..
