I agree with the new rules, not because I'm biased or anything :? but because at a certain point it doesn't matter how much power you have if you're running street tires. You are at the limitations of grip where hp does not matter anymore. The straights at the CDC courses are not long enough for a h...

Thanks for the offers guys, I truly appreciate it, but I think I'm just going to take a break from everything and just spend some QT with the wifey and focus on some other things (figuring out what engine/turbo setup I'm gonna run ;) ). I can't buy a miata/whatever car due to the fact that I had to ...

I wish everybody good luck with this racing season and possibly the next. My #2 piston oil ring cracked which scored the block :cry: , ie, overhaul time. The setup I'm going to run will be geared more towards road racing, but I'll give autox a try a few times when I get it back. I'm looking at about...

whats the deal with these rally's? Are they a "serious balls out race"? Or is it more of a cruise type of thing? Are the roads closed off? How long do they take? Etc.

^^^ Star Specs are the best tire for the money, I believe.... but there are better ones out there. If you're that good of a driver and can eek out that tenth or two, then get a different one. :) I personally will only run star specs from here on out...maybe slicks once I get better...but that's many...

Dang it...can't make it. That sucks, I love that place.

Bowie::: 17 of the top 25 (before index) were RWD cars, 15 of the 17 were short wheel base RWD cars. I love the challenge of navigating those tight layouts and the mix of courses....but..... Frederick::: 12 of the top 20 (before index) were AWD/FWD cars. Hylton::: Guarantee a small bore/RWD majority...

Foot note if anybody's interested.

My car is now "moveable". Just waiting for the body work to get done.

Oh goood, double the ass whoopin'

Well, that race was a wash... I can't wait to get my car back. Thank goodness there are 4 thrown out...I have a feeling this race and all the VA races will be thrown out for me. Bah. That S4 is much more suited for track duty than autox. It was fun though and I had a great time. See ya guys in a mo...

GTR's, Supra's, and RX7's.....so sorry. The 89-96/98 japanese super cars= timeless beauty.

i just can't believe that with over an 80 whp advantage on a car that weights 600 pounds more than mine would be so much faster around the course. This course was all about carrying speed, not horsepower. Look at the timesheet, it was more about driver, tires and suspension setup than who had more ...

The results link I posted above is getting corrections as I receive them. The website will post updated results later this week. I already had one index correction that shook things up a little for the top index times. Matt, According to Cobb Tuning, a 2010 STi puts down 228WHP on their dyno . you ...

yeah, i guess that is about right i guess. i just never thought about how my car could be so much more powerful than STI's running the course on saturday. while traction limits my acceleration, i just can't believe that with over an 80 whp advantage on a car that weights 600 pounds more than mine w...

I thought that one looked fast too.

Wow. Gotta love those mustang dynos
I stand corrected. Dangit. Now that last run hurts even more.

I'm losing my mind...the results just changed in front of my eyes.

Wrong HP multiplier for a new Sti by the by.

The damage happened on the way to work this morning :x Since it will be pretty much impossible for me to have my car by saturday I will be driving a different car...an 01 S4 :D My buddy was nice enough to let me borrow it for saturday while he's moving...that's a true friend right there. I'm not sur...

Here's a pic of the carnage...the pic really doesn't do it justice...

Well, I'm not sure that I'll be making it to the next event. Parts are ordered, but not scheduled to come in till friday. Swerved around a car, hit a pothole which caused the lower balljoint to break out of the knuckle, which caused the axle to come out of the trans, which then caused the body damag...

I had a great time today...definitely had some cobwebs to shake out :D I think this is going to be a great season ahead and I'm looking forward to next weeks run. Inches away from FTD, so close, so close. Today was probably my only chance at getting FTD...oh well. Kudos to the organizers for putting...

What's all involved with running with those guys at SP? Sign up, cost, etc? Nothin like spankin some German ***

I think WRX's and STi's should not be allowed, and if they are, an automatic 5 sec addition to time.

I'll get over the bitterness, I swear.

R.I.P. Summit Point I will truly miss you. Summit was by far my favorite venue.

On a side note, my boss keeps asking me which Saturday's I can work....my response "Dude, I don't f'n know until the full race schedule is released, back off"
