Brian runs the schools so if you have questions go to him. But yeah if you have some events under your belt, you can do the level 2. The WDCR school and BMW school are fairly similar. The WDCR school you'll do a figure 8 drill, a huuuge slalom drill and then a ton of runs on a full course. WDCR scho...

I've done a couple of Corvette events at Lincoln and instructed at one of their schools. The lot is pretty bad. Very rough, worse than Bowie. It would be a pricey day for anyone running r-comps or an expensive street tire. Good amount of light poles, a fence that wraps around the edge of the lot, po...

I don't really get the SCCA people are too serious thing... The only days I find some people to get overly "serious" is on their run days at the national championships, and even then the bulk are still laid back. In fact, normal national events are more "fun" than most other (lo...

Pax is fun and all, but its tough sledding for any car SP and above on the small lots. Cobra's have a better shot at taking cdc index than pax IMO. The results for PAX will probably end up being very similar to the CDC Index simply because the smaller lots favor the small cars(and STU cars) on stre...

The demographic for owners of these cars is people 21-35 (and Fred)

I drove one of these Toybaru's a couple weeks ago at Dover in RTR, fun car. Maybe I'll jump in again at DC to run with Fred

If any participant makes a reservation for an event but does not attend, the next event that the participant attends will be placed in heat 4 (or heat 3 if heat 4 is full)

Is this rule still being enforced..?

Buy Andy's wheels. Because he's awesome.

Glws dude!

I picked Ian's brain about these new Rivals at the DC committee meeting. He had his laptop(of course) so I got to see videos from their tests and some very interesting and cool information on the design of these tires. Seems like a very good tire buuut I think I may be leaving the stickers on my fen...

I'm almost at the point of considering buying another set of RPF1's so I can test the new BFG's against the R1R's myself. Will definitely be an interesting season, esp for the STU/STX guys. So far the BFG's sounds really good, but as most have written, nothing to be shown for the light weight cars. ...

I'm sure it'll be fine. Just didn't know where CDC stands on vehicles like these. My only thought would be hitting that freaking crack down the middle of the lot the wrong way..

Just noticed a Nissan Juke registered. Maybe it's a joke, not sure lol. But if it's not, does that really pass safety requirements (roll over, high COG, wheels base, blah blah)?

finish first all the time then it won't matter. :) Hey AJ, someone figured out your strategy. Damn time to figure something else out :oops: Well half of winning is showing up. I'm not in the points chase for CDC this year because of too many conflicts with other events I've been going to and with C...

Good event and course, yay for not hitting the crack in the middle of the lot dead on lol

Took a few pictures when I wasn't running/working

Vid from my best run

My magical R1R's have lasted all this season starting from full tread. I think about 30 events, probably like 170 runs or so give or take a few. Probably like 3k street miles on them from driving to-from events and around town a tiny bit. They are right around shaved depth now probably(2/32nd's - 3/...

My vid. Yay for staring down the front end of a random car coming through the finish on one of my runs...

You guys wanna be on my team? Maybe with my Index matched with yours, the times might even out

Mini- 46.2xx. Definitely left a lot of time out there. Way underestimated the JCW Mini! Thanks Caitlin for the drive!

For some reason I can't edit... But might also want to put this policy in the FAQ and/or somewhere on the registration sheet for those who don't follow the forum. That'd be a pleasant surprise for those who missed out on an event and couldn't see what the consequences were for not canceling ahead of...

Seems like a prepayment plan as you register like everyone else does would cure the no shows and help with attendence when the weather is iffy, I realize I may sound like a broken record. That said SCCA gets really pissed if you don't cancel even if you have prepaid and you don't get a refund. I've...

BUMP. Dropped to $140.

I have a set of used Eibach Coilover Springs. These used to be on the Moogen. I'm not sure how many miles are on them or how old they are but I do know they are still very good. I ran on these springs with that car for a little while and the car handled very well but just not stiff enough to me. The...

Team Fast Freddy??

Wish I could make it out to help. Good luck and stay safe.

As others have said, Evo is probably the best around, I suppose even in the country. WDCR school is great, I've done a couple Level 2's and I owe a big thanks to it (mainly Brian Garfield, Brian Burdette and Mike Stanley) for where I'm at now as a driver. NCCBMW Novice Schools are also good, esp for...
