I'm not really down with the wife swap thing... I wouldn't have married her is she was a dog.

I would guess you'd be in BSP, no need for you to run in SM since you don't have cams or turbo upgrade. But you could do either one I suppose.

BSP runs last on Saturday, and first on Sunday. SM runs second on Sat and third on Sun. Which class you choose is soley up to you.

Marc, as far as I know, you and I are the only one's running both days, you are running both days aren't you?

Does not matter what your mods are, it's how competitive you feel you can be in a class...so long as your mods aren't more than what the class rules allow. Dan should run in SM just so he could be with the group, and get support from you guys.

so what the hell will they think of next, aem released an electronic intake. lol it tunes your maf supposedly for you. Not for the evo but im sure its coming. just thought id share this , i think its stupid but what ever.

Once again AEM is raising engineering standards with an all new series of innovative air intake systems call ETI systems. With a revolutionary ETI module and fully integrated design, AEM has eliminated the need to detune or stage an intake tube diameter as it crosses the MAF sensor. The sensor is electronically adjusted to read proper air density instead of using physical tube designs intended to “trick” the MAF reading. The result is bigger horsepower and torque gains.

Most modern fuel injected cars use a Mass Air flow (MAF) sensor to determine the air flow rate into the engine and meter fuel according to input from the sensor. The relation between the voltage output of the sensor and mass air flow is adversely affected by a shift to a larger diameter intake tube because the airspeed is reduced. This causes the MAF sensor to “under report” air flow causing a lean condition at worst and a Check Engine Light at best. To accommodate MAF sensor reporting, many intake systems reduce the diameter of the intake tube near the MAF sensor to stock or near stock size because of the need to maintain the correct air speed for the sensor to report the correct flow rate to the ECU. AEM's ETI Intake System is an alternative design approach that allows the intake tube to maintain its diameter resulting in more air flow into the throttle body. The ETI Intake System allows AEM to tune an engine for even more power by avoiding any tube down-sizing that will reduce overall airflow and horsepower. Instead the ETI electronically communicates with the MAF sensor to ensure an accurate amount of fuel is being delivered even though the tube is larger in size than the stock system. This means the vehicle maintains the calibration as intended by the factory while enjoying the benefits of our custom designed aftermarket intake system.

that is the plan ATM. Karen is getting induced on the 10th of May... assuming everything goes as planned and I can get away for the weekend I will do both days. otherwise just one, but I already told her I wanted to do both days so we'll see how it goes.

I agree, you should run in SM with Pete and I.

MY sister in law will be there on Sunday in the AM. she is single and pretty easy on the eyes, but I have to warn you, she knows how to handle herself. Not only is she is a personal trainer, but she has been doing martial arts since she was a kid. if you mess with her, its likely she'll whip your a$$.

I would recommend SM since most everyone here runs in that group. BSP has some tough competition. I run BSP because that's the correct classing for my car, but my times have been more comparable to SM cars (especially when it rains ).

Dan, when you show up the morning of, get in line at the registration tent to get your driver's wrist band and your work assignment. Try to get the starter assignment if you can. Its an easy job....basically wait for the car to get halfway around the course and send the next one on its way. Only important thing to paying attention to the radio for STOP calls, and paying attention to the course if something happens so you dont send a car out.

Working grid is also another great assignment... telling drivers where to go once they finish their run. Both jobs dont require SCCA membership, and you wont have to run after cones i nthe hot weather.
