Just got my times from PhillySCCA...

I dropped 2.75seconds on my last run, probably because I didn't have anyone running with me. My last two runs were totally clean, no penalties. Ben, looks like I just edged you out by like three tenths of a second, we finished 95th and 97th over all. Thats out of 129 cars. Not to shabby for my first time out, can always do better though.

Can't wait for the next one at the end of March, gotta break out the PS2's.

My crappy all-seasons were clearly no match for your ultra-sticky snow tires

Pete, I've looked in the vendor classifies, and all they advertise nowadays are overpriced Brides. BTW, I don't know what the average evo does on that track, but shaving over 2 seconds off is very good for only having gone around the track 4 times, and three of those times carrying passengers.

Chu, I found a few different seats for sale in the private section. IDK if your looking for one or two? There's a guy in Ct selling his VIII seats, doesn't have a price I don't think. There's another guy selling one Sparco seat w/rails for like $550.
As far as the times go, I think loosing the extra weight of the passenger really made all the difference.

I wish I could have stuck around all afternoon and watched everyone run.
Did anyone get to do any 'fun runs' at the end?

No fun runs... I tried but they really weren't hearing it. They wanted to get cleaned up and go home I think. It is a LONG day.

No Sparcos for me! Never felt comfortable in the ones I've been in. As far as stock seats, I will only get the IX SE seats, but I think for alittle more, I could ahve a brand new pair of Recaros with more support. But I'm really only in need a one driver's seat.
