Not to change the subject.
Marc, I was out at pep brothers yesterday looking for road wrap and mothers r3 with no success. Nobody had any idea what I was talking about. The one dude told me to order a vinyl bra for my car.

Thanks, Pete! I had a great time getting destroyed by Corey, PJ, and David 
I know I left a ton of time on the left and at least 4 or 5 tenths on the right, but those guys were laying down some nice runs.
BTW, you would not have been the only car there on street tires in SM. The evo that came in behind me was on *specs (his car was pretty well setup other than hoosiers... running e85 on an hks turbo). The M3 was on bfg r1's... so probably not much better than a *spec for autox, if at all.
Corey is a machine in that bsp car. Wish it wouldn't have broken, as he and PJ were in a showdown Sunday morning. Mad props to Mike for donating his car to let Corey take a shot at it

I looked this morning when I got here to see if you were signed up yet. I'll register tonight.
Sorry guys, I'm out for the Trackdaze event. Running with PCA on the 16th-17th instead.
They think the trans went. It leaked all its trans fluid when the car was jacked up. Always a bummer when there's breakage, been there and done that to many times already. At least Cy beat me handily in BSP to feel a little better. He ran a smokin fast time on the left side course. That side had me baffled. On my last run on left side I staged my car wrong and red lit, pissed me off. Reason being I had just killed the right side and was ready to lay it down on the left, I was feeling it. Lesson learned at Pro, when staging, roll in and light both staging lights up, roll out of stage then back in barely to get that second light lit. I think I was 3-6 inches to deep, rookie mistake on my part. My other issue was bogging the car at the line 4 out of 12 launches and clipping the first cone on course on right side twice. Funny how a bog equals good .505-.550 reaction with a crap 60' 2.0 - 2.3. I did have a few good ones though with 1.6 60's.
Also, I thought the course would have been longer... Is 30sec or so about average for a National event?
haha, I went looking for that R3 stuff this weekend too. Went to Pep-brothers, Auto Zone and Advanced Auto. Neither place had it or knew what I was talking about... thanks a lot Chu for sending me on a wild goose chase.
The National Tour in two weeks should be nice an long. Mike, are you joining the SM crowd since BSP is non-existent?
The Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover I have seems to work just fine for rubber marks. It required very little effort to get the scuffs off. Just sayin'
I just cleaned all the leather in the Mazda over the weekend. I don't think it had ever been done, the fronts seats were pretty beat up. I used upolstery cleaner on them (even though is says not for use on leather), and then Meguiar's Leather cleaner. They came up real nice, but what a pita.

Pro courses are typically shorter. They have two courses set on one lot, so there's not always enough room to make two 60 sec sides. I don't run Pro's all the time, but every one has been in the low 30 sec range.
