Ben, I did pick up a bunch of time on my last. I really had to slow down on the first half of the course to do so. I was just driving in way too deep and coming out way to slow. I was just hanging on coming back to the finish, should have shifted to third as I was on the limiter for a few seconds on that last run.

Dan, I have a set of the newer version of those wheels for sale right now. Silver though, not that sweet a$$ T/A. What bolt pattern is the Rolla? How does a 17" x 7" +48 sound?

17x7 on the corolla would be like a +1 or +2 in wheel size for that car. i think there's just 15 inch wheels on it. i'll check.

i know you were kidding.

Good catching up with a few of you guys yesterday at the AutoX. It was HOT, and i made it out of there rite before the storm. The course was entertaining to watch but i definitely didn't expect everyone to be this happy with it now reading your reactions. I did take some videos but after uploading them, haven't even touched them so if anyone is looking for them don't hesitate to ask.

I know most of you guys aren't all for parking lot meets but the DSM/Evo Ridley park BBQ meet is this sunday so i'm just trying to remind everyone.
I'll find out tomorrow for sure if i can make it. I was out last year and had a great time. This years is looking even better.

pete, the rolla wheels are 15x7 +35, i believe. bolt pattern is 5-100. not that you're terribly interested. you just motivated me to investigate a little.

YOU need to stop recording and start racing! It looks much different from the drivers seat. Take one of those pretty cars you're working on and drive it @ 8/10ths at the next event. I promiss you'll have a blast and it won't break your car. $hit, for all the times you've come to warminster to video and not raced you'd be whopping on Chu like a redheaded stepchild by now.

At the bare minimum you should do a couple of ride alongs... That would give you a good idea of what your missing out on.

haha pretty cars. One of these days i will. I'd honestly like to do it in a plain stock car to get a feel and get the 1st event out of the way but at the same time i'd obviously like to drive my car.

I went for a ride in Marc's car and it was awesome even with him on his street tires. I'd love to go for more but I've never figured out the complete deal with how that works.
