Yeah, you should be good to run by yourself, they don't have open passing anyways.

I want someone to co drive my car next autox (cough Chu)

I need some input on my car and what I should do next with it.

right now I have the "I should install my rear sway, buy 10k/12k spring setup and adjust dampening" type of mood

I love my rear bar but now that my acd actually works I need to soften it up a little bit.

James, anyone else could give you better advice than me. I can co-drive so you can see the difference in our approaches. I think that is always helpful, as I'm always able to pick up time after sitting with someone else.



BTW, here's what the P&P time table is looking like

8:00 am Registration open (AX & Show-n-Shine)

8:15 am AX Tech & Course walk

8:30 am Spectator Registration open

9:00 am AX Drivers meeting and

9:15 am AX First car away (morning session)



12:00 Lunch (60 min)

1:00 pm AX First car away (afternoon session)

4:00 pm Post-event Cocktail Party and celebrate a good day

That's what I need Chu - just a comparison between driver's keeping the car the constant in the equation.

You should work on your driving before you get too mod happy, I know that doesn't sound like a lot of fun but it works. I autox'd for 2yrs on stock (MR) suspension, now I'm reaping the benefits as a driver. The last thing you want to do is compensate with better parts, its like putting make-up on a pig.
