Preliminary 2013 SCCA schedules are out. There will be two Pro Solo's in the area. One at the Meadowlands and one in DC at FedEx Field. The action starts early again (like 2012), with the Meadowlands Pro in early April. Then there's a Tour event, likely hosted by Philly Region, in late April. DC is June I think. Then there's the Toledo Pro end of July. Throw a NE Divisional in the mix, too.

So when are you bishes stepping up to National level competition?

if you're going to be doing a lot of track, there's nothing wrong with upgrading radiator. both of those brand are good and reliable. better cooling and more reliable than stock. can't go wrong there.

Mike already does the tire warming

Haven't signed up for CTD, grillman. Something about a vacation to Disney the wife would rather do, which shrinks available fundage. Maybe if all of you guys wear mouse ears on your black helmets, I can bring the little one to the track...

Let's plan the VIR trip broskis.

My goal next season, if everything works out, is Shen, WGI, and VIR. I'll be running NJMP with PCA since they're a good group, and they're cheap for members. Need to stay confortable at Lightning for that GTA Nguyen!

Obviously you've never been to the track and seen the outfits we run around in... or lack there of.

I would like to do the same as long as the CTD shakedown event ends well and sees what issues need to be sorted out. Ill check the pca calendar as well.

Also, I believe stock is the lightest option out there, so you're not going to remove much if any weight off the front end with a bigger, thicker core and more fluid.

with that said I'm sure you can get better cooling than what the OEM rad offers, but with question is do you need it and what will the trade off be...
no issues yet...but cooler means more reliable right? lol im not sure what the tradeoffs would be really. either way i will probably throw a 12 inch fan man fan in which drops 5-7lbs which i think will at least balance any gain from extra water.

im trying. but i either wont have my work schedule until january, or ill be in a new job with no vacation time...makes it tough to register now. it would be quite nice to get some instruction from an evo driver.

It's called commitment to a goal . And if you are driving it's probably more like 6-7 minutes... BOOM!

^ I think you're giving him too much credit... I'd say more like 9-10 minutes.
