Well I’m trying to join the mix for gridlife for 2019. My car based on my interpretation of the rules would be able to compete in Street Mod, which I feel comfortable with my current seat time with the evo.

I done quite a few track events with my evo. I live MD so I spend a lot of time at summit point. I actually did one of the first grid life events back at the autobahn in Joliet, IL. But just HPDE didn’t compete. The reason why I said what I said and how I said was it’s almost like a mind thing. A lot of these other guys/girls have huge backing behind them with shops and other vendors so you almost always think you’ll never be as good as they are. I’ve also talked to quite a few people that do grid and GTA for advice as well. I was suppose to run in the 2018 season, but I had to do trans work and parts were on backorder.
I have to take things off my car to actually to be in the class I want to run in GTA vs Grid, so I’m pondering what to do as GTA has posted their dates for 19 but GRID hasn’t yet.

gridlife hpde's run like normal, and not too many idiots there? i'd like to do an hpde during their autobahn time, is it usually the south course they run on? and are those the tickets for which they always seem to sell out on facebook?

The fastest cars are going to be the ones built well with fast drivers. Don't let those sponsored cars scare you. They run the parts they are given. I run the parts that work. They need to satisfy contracts by making appearances and feed the social media machine. I get to go have fun at the track when I want to and only need to satisfy myself.
Gotta get a new set of wheels, my ce’s are too wide to run the 255 needed. Going to try and score a set of rpf1s or 57d(which I really want) in decent shape used, if not I’ll cough up the money for new.
yeah the sponsor life isn’t always the fun life. I’ve been down that road before. But I’m super excited, just waiting for the dates to be posted to get the real planning started.
