I'm not going Marc, but I did just save a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico...

I don't know that I'm going to jump to SM next year. I may stick it out in BSP. I consider myself a competitive person so running in the back of the pack really doesn't do much but get me fustrated. That being said, I don't have any interest in dropping the kind of loot it would take to be really competitive in either one.

Pete, you are a good driver, but without the right setup (most importantly tires & wheels) its going to be difficult to be in the front of the pack in any of the prepared/modified classes. If I were you I'd jump to SM just so we can all run together... with cams thats really where you belong anyways

Please convince the guy with the Yellow Evo to follow everyone into SM.

no worries, he got moved to the PRO class as of the last event. That means it will be you against Bob in the M3 & Joe in the RX7 turboII.

It looks like every couple years the region moves the guys who are winning all the time out of their respective class and into PRO. I think its an excellent idea since it will allow them to compete directly against some better drivers in our region and also opens the door for others to have a shot at the title of their class. Based on what you did this year, I think you should have a good shot in BSP next year... that is unless Mr. Grillo gets some 9.5" wide wheels and some decent rubber.

Rolandas got bumped up!?! SWEET! I def sticking to BSP then. I thought about some wider wheels... not sure yet though. Stickier rubber is a must before next season starts.
