    I believe we are still waiting for paddock system to open. If they do allow regional blocks i hope they are in the back of the site. Last two years paddock has been a cluster

    I know that most of us have been very distracted as of late, but if anyone has plans of attending nationals this year and haven't registered yet there are just a couple days left before the price goes up considerably.

    From the nationals registration site:
    Registration Fee is $170 (ends 08/01/2014) - 11:59pm CDT)


    Late Registration $308

    I am tempted to take my under prep M3 in BSP.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Should I try to add a spoiler?

    Do you have time to test it? Do you even need it under 65 mph? Nats courses are slower than in the past.

    No we don't need to hear your fantasies. Just go drive the car. Beer is on me.

    I guess we should tell the FSAE, AM, BM, XP and SM guys that aero doesn't work

    No in all seriousness, even the limited aero you can run in SP makes a big difference. In a nutshell, it allows you to carry a slip angle while still staying on the gas. So instead of having to lift to wait for the rear to settle, you can stay in the gas. It's most helpful and noticeable at higher speeds. And again, is most beneficial in any high-speed transition (thread the needle, slalom, lane change, etc). But I bet mod cars are seeing benefit at as little as 20mph. I know when I ran an SM wing on my Evo before, I could feel a significant affect at 30mph.

    Anyway, hope to see everyone there! And I fully expect that Ken will kick some butt!

    Nowhere did I suggest that it doesn't work; I do teach physics. :) I asked if HE needed it (with his car setup) on lower speed courses. Compared to BMW autox courses.

    YOU'RE A TEACHER! ERMERGERHD!

    I've seen fast SP cars with and without aero. But you are right, for his setup I think the car is proven. Adding even just a rear spoiler will force some tunning changes. But yes, aero works at low speeds too.
