Beautiful dog! I sent you a PM.

Is the dog taking a leak?

I saw your car out there, come out next weekend to NTAXS, 8 runs for what feels like pennies.

Yeah, I thought I'd try it to see what it's like. I can honestly say I'm very happy that I own and drive an Evo.

I met 2 of you out yesterday at Lone Star Park. I had a blast at my first real autox event however, I would have really liked more seat time! I think with some new tires I could run a second faster than I did yesterday.

I plan on picking up the Dunlops soon enough. Enjoyed meeting both of you.

Hello, adean12. Nice seeing you there. Glad you had fun.

Yes, the tires do make a huge difference but then so does having some good camber on the front like maybe -3 degrees if you can get it. Otherwise get as much as possible then zero the toes. Those two things combined will really help the car turn in better.

See you next weekend?

Sorry jon and I couldn't make it. We've been going strong every weekend for like 8 weeks. Needed a break. We may do TMS next weekend. But we are gearing up for the Blytheville ProSolo at the end of the month.

I'm going to Cobb to get alignment this month. I can only do 1 event a month due to a 3 month old in my home right now. I plan on going to mineral wells next month for bmwcca. Do you ever go there?

I switched over a while back to running a bit of toe front and back and boy did it make a difference on turn-in. I have had zero tire wear issues running toe with moderate camber, of course I rotate regularly as well, usually after every event.

I understand about the kiddo, I am going to probably be stepping out for a month or two this summer when my little boy gets here. Then it's time to bring him along too!

I've been there and I don't really like it. Not because it has a lot of gravel (which it does) but because it's a 100 mile drive each way. Plus the surface has a bad habit of destroying tires.

That said, yes I will be doing some events out there this year. However, I'm only doing SCCA, ER, and NTAXS events. No Porsche or BMW events.
