No, I was refering to Marc's car. Although, Chu's is also pretty well set-up minus the Hoosiers.
I don't agree that a couple expensive parts = prepped.

I could throw all the JDM, Takita, Volk and APC parts made on my car and it would probably add up to be more in part than what my car is worth. That doesn't mean its prepped at all. All it means is that you spent alot of money on a bunch of parts.

Prepped means you have gone over the rule book and 'prepared' your car based on it... like Corey & Cy did, or like Mike has done. their cars are what I would call 'prepped'... they have every allowable mod under the sun and their cars are setup to exploite those mods. That is the definition of Prepped. All I did was buy a couple of parts I could grow into. my car still has a LONG way to go in order to be put under that catagory.

To me your car is prepped... I never said it was Bruce and Chuck done up, but certainly the most prepared car in our group, maybe even the most in SM this season. Do you disagree?

Jeez, not trying to argue with you... why couldn't you just have taken it as the complement that is was instead of arguing with me about it.

STFU, I'm not arguing with anyone, just trying to get my point across.

I think Locket has the best prepped car... might not be the best choice of cars for the class, but as far as modding per the rule book goes I think he is the winner.

I dunno I would consider myself the best prepped outta the group either. Carson & Chu both have more mods then me AND they're cars are making more power(that last part I will be correcting in a couple weeks). All I have on them really is better tires.

i know this has been asked before and i didn't pick up on what the answer was but is there a way to pick my work assignment before the event?

i am not a member as of yet. this whole paper thing really is causing me to procrastinate. i tried the website but it sent me an error message after numerous attempts to join.

I was late into the game as far as modding and racing goes! If I could go back, I would stay stock ,and run stock all the time. But I have to make a compromise and drive my car as a dd and autox. It doesn't help that I'm changing stuff constantly! On the topic of prep, I think it is. On setup, it's not ideally competitive...still need better tire, and suspension setup.

you don't need to be a member to take advantage of that. All you have to do is pre-reg. When you reg list NOVICE as your PAX and BSP as your Class. When you get there on Sunday and 'check-in' at the pre-reg table, tell them you need a 2nd heat worker assignment cause you're running 1st heat.
