I am on 15x8 et 25 with 205's and stock suspension. Hard cornering = slight grinding of fronts. Raj, when you do the suspension, it may take care of the grinding. Stiff settings should do it, unless you are just out of room. Check small pieces of black plastic jutting out on the fender liner. Suprising how much noise a small piece of plastic makes, at speed. Just some thoughts... hope it all works out... |

My Miata will be there. Won't even be remotely competitive in Pro, but I welcome the competition in STR. I think Gregg is the only one even eligible for a class championship. |

Suprising how much noise a small piece of plastic makes, at speed. Just some thoughts... hope it all works out... Looked at the fender liner yesterday, found rubber marks on the black plastic. Cut it out and bent the two tabs at the top as duck suggested. Hopefully should be ok at the event, might need to roll the inner lip of the fender when lowered. Thanks guys ! |

Bending those tabs is crucial... one of my tires got a nice slice in the sidewall at the 24 from those top tabs. Going lower should naturally add some camber which will help, and if the springs and compression settings are stiff enough the rubbing may be non-existent after that. AJ - you can drive mine, but good luck with the PAX! Unless Jadrice/Mike want to be kind enough to let me and you run on those slicks Mike had at Metrolina. T-Ball - you have a PM. |

Much easier to finish in the top 10 when there's only 30 or less in the class...Than a class stacked with 50 competitors. |

I'll ask her tomorrow at registration if she is willing to change, I don't know if she has a co-driver or not and there is a reason she wanted 13... but I'll find out tomorrow... Thanks

AJ- I don't think you enjoyed driving it last time, but assuming I haven't killed yet another AGM battery my 350z will be there tomorrow with an open seat.

That is an odd situation there Travis. Odd system glitch I suppose. You will run your usual number. You are right that it is yours for the season.
Run groups will be announced at the drivers meeting.
Andy, thank you! I wouldn't mind actually. I don't really care how I finish. I just want to be in something fun.
Of course if that second offer is what I think it is 8-D GAME ON!!!! I wish to be in that car again.

Best course I've ran all year, hands down!
Thank you Mike Licursi for a great, fast flowing, technical design. My heart is still racing.

That was an amazingly fun course.... best of the year! There was some nice technical sections with a whole lot of "grow a set" down that back straight. LOVED IT!  You have redeemed yourself from the Metrolina course 2 weeks ago, Licursi! |

That was a really fun course, and like Duckworth said, had to grow a set for the back straight. Sorry about all the smoke  Great end to a great first season. Thanks to everyone that made all these events possible. |

Sorry and thanks to those that had to clean up my coolant leak... great job... Even though I only got 1 and a half runs it still looked like a fun course and I enjoyed it the bit I got to run it.

Despite mechanicals, another fantastic event!! Thank you everyone for coming out and for those crazy enough to work so hard to put these events on.
The course was a BLAST! Lots of line choice to go along with other things previously mentioned. You could easily hang yourself.
Results and points will be up very soon. Check the 2012 results thread.

Insanely fun course. Probably one of the best I've seen at zMax by far. It was easy enough to drive, but still made you think about what you were doing. Great send-off course for the season.

I had an absolute blast, both participating and spectating. Everyone I met was nice as can be and willing to give pointers on competing or working the event. The course was huge, even though that course layout image made it look cramped (to me).
It was nice to see such a fun loving group of people, sorry I didn't say a whole lot while we were at the saucer, I was so tired I was about to fall asleep.
At least Josh didn't mess up the timing lights while driving my car - sideways anyways. I looked at the go-pro video of that and even though it was not an actual course time, It was right about 73 seconds after letting off. I think you could have seen 71-72 seconds if you didn't loose traction and went through the beam. Street tires FTL.
