:( I'm stuck in SU in both the WRX and Miata, I think. The WRX would be SM, but it's got a Whiteline ALK. The Miata would be SSM (?) but it's got frame rail stiffeners.

What consolidation class is SU in? I'd still run against all you SM people in the "Street Mod" group, right?

Yes. SM and SU, along with SSM and SMF are run in the same consolidated group, so you would be with all of us too. :cool: Just a different PAX factor.

It's all about raw time.

This is becoming the official "blast from the past" thread. :)

Mike you should stay away from autox, they are just gonna make you do timing... now if you want to help out at north nevada rally we could use a timing guy ... :P :P *teasing*

anywho ... wow lots of angry i want to win folks.. I need to play too then.. Don't think the STI is gonna be ready for the opening rounds... looked like i was gonna make 9 of the 13 rounds to try and do a pax podium... but waaah... delays delays.. fun.. :(

GusGus91 2012-04-04 06:37 PM

Looks like Apr 28th will be my first even ever! I'm pretty excited.

GusGus91 2012-04-04 06:49 PM

Also, how do I register?

Kevin M 2012-04-04 07:33 PM

Should be the same link as in the RFR thread. Or you can simply show up for autocross. As long as you're early enough to fill out the tech card, go through Registration (which is only a few minutes), get teched and be rpesent for hte driver's meeting, you're in. Figure 8 AM or earlier for morning groups, and 12 noon for afternoon.

Bob Danger 2012-04-05 11:38 AM

I might get the LeMons E30 out there a couple times to give it a shake down. It's getting all 2006 up in here, the battle in SM, myself racing a car that no business on the road let alone a autocross track. Should be fun.

bxracer69 2012-04-08 08:43 PM

This is ridiculous!!! I randomly hop on the forums and all of a sudden I feel like I need to be in the thick of the SM battle this year with the evo running at top notch. Too bad I'm in TX

rory_a 2012-04-19 09:13 AM

So after all the moving, selling/changing cars, etc., am I going to be the only one running BSP this season?

I am not sure whether you will be the only Subaru, but SP1 has SSP, ASP, BSP and CSP, so you will definitely have competitors.

I don't know whether they will appreciate smack talk or not though :)

rory_a 2012-04-19 03:17 PM

I dunno 'bout smack talking... I wanted to move out of N to avoid being spanked by Ariels and AMG SLRs and whatnot. :)

k-dogg39 2012-04-19 03:41 PM

Well you could run in SM and get spanked! :lol:

rory_a 2012-04-19 04:08 PM

Lol won't need to up the class for that. :oops:

k-dogg39 2012-04-27 01:23 PM

So who is making it out this weekend for the school and the first event?

MPREZIV 2012-04-27 05:28 PM

You know I'll be there! Have to learn to drive my "new" car...

Me... but no wagon. :( Should be ready for the next weekend, but I need to troubleshoot a P0123 TBS code, and possibly replace the DBW throttle body. :(

Dean 2012-04-27 07:08 PM

I'll be there obviously as chief instructor and co-chair.

Should be good. Some different elements this year. Skid pad, easy/hard slalom, NASCAR Rectangle 8, micro course w/ Chicago box and pivot cone. Should be interesting when put together.

MPREZIV 2012-04-28 04:26 PM

Good day today! Pretty damn big turnout of newbies!

Soon as I can figure out shaving off enough speed on the dirty track, and using ALL of the grip on the clean track, I'm pretty sure I'll be hurting some feelings! :twisted:

Dean 2012-04-28 05:19 PM

I had a great time this morning with the students and then did some tire pressure testing on the skid pad and some tail hanging out in the slalom and rectangle 8. I had forgotten how much power on oversteer I have dialed into the car at least with old crispy 615s. :lol:

I caught them all very nicely except the first one in the slalom where I ended up sideways in the finish gate. No cones though. :)

1 run was not enough at the end of the day. Kevin W. was very fast in only 2 runs. Don't know how Cory did. His wheels scare me though. :)

van 2012-04-28 05:26 PM

That figure 8/Nascar loop looked like a lot of fun. I wish I had my car together today just to try that out.
Cory, your car looks mean. I love the wheels and flares.

MattR 2012-04-29 04:32 PM

Okay, today was ridiculous on many levels. Mostly MikeK...discuss.
