btw, looks like there are only 2 spots left for the class on sunday.

 

Thanks, but I won't be satisfied until I get back to being very competitive with Pete. I haven't bested him yet this season. I felt like run three and four were the only reasonably good runs I've had all year. I was very disappointed with my driving the first two events.

You son of a *****. I thought that we agreed never to speak of that again.

 

Now there is only one left

 

damn i'm so tempted to sign up but Im going to a wedding the night before and plan to be very drunk

 

Haha, i dont remember agreeing to that.

 

Intermediate class will be worth it. Simmonz and Iman are running it, I wish I could have instructed but I have my son all day so I will not be there. You will get tons of seat time and personal instruction, should be worth everyone's time and $/.

 

Nice.... that's quotable BTW

Marc is big time now hanging with the Real German Porsche owners!

On a serious note, that's alot of cash for one weekend. I am sure it will be worth it, but that's alot of cash.

 

sweet, ill see you there.

after which i'll be ready to add some POWER ... right?

 

Uhhh no, but there will be no need because you will be dropping time with your new skillz!

 

So potentially good news for the street tire SM gang. If I make the next event on 7/10 I will be on street tires. I'm planing on hitting up the NSTC later in July and want to get an event on the star specs to feel them out. No more "I don't have hoosiers" excuses, we all have the same rubber

Plus I want to see if I can beat that wrx on hoosiers with my *specs on

 

Oh, and this means no $5 bet, Mike... unless you give me the Grillo handicap.

 

word. I'm 100% certain that I will leave the car as is for the rest of the season. (aside from alignment and tire pressure tweaks)

Though after riding in your car, I think an upgraded rear diff would make the car much more fun.

maybe next year.

 

truth.
look who's talking mr money bags. I'll be you spend more than that traveling for a national event AND you're only getting a fraction of the seat time.

its on for the next one. street tire battle royal!!

 

Great plan Kenny.... The TRE tweak to our rear diffs is a great inexpensive mod. It would be wise to wait to off season because I am sure TRE is busy and you will have to wait forever. I think Shep has a similar service too.
You need to do your own alignments and then you eventually will get your car $. I think the Smart Camber gauge is $200 approx, then you need (2) 8' poles, zip ties, a small piece of plexi glass (use that to hook pole in rear to car where license plate hangs), tape measure and some string. Once you have everything and level your garage floor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZoL1gaWedA and you are good to go.

 

That would be my one trip to Nationals in Nebraska, all other trips I am no where near that figure. Granted National Autox is not 20 minutes per session of seat time, but we all know that difference between Autox and RR already. If you add up all the wear and tear on your car, its way more $ than your saying. I am sure you will need to redo your car this off-season since it will be all beat up. Autox takes years of abuse to do what you can in one season of RR.

So there....
