I got the Kumho XSs mounted on Saturday (thanks AJ!). Now I just need to get my registration changed from 2R.

Nope. It would not be fair to the other competitors for you to get more runs on the course.

Count the first set for time. Disregard the other runs.

How would you find the time to work twice in between 16 runs? ::StirTheP

Run all 16 in one heat. The heats are split into several sessions per heat. Run first and last.

Can I sigh up 4 times and make 32 runs? I will do setup so I can run in both heats.

You sign up once, you make four runs in the AM and four runs in the PM, and you work once in the AM and once in the PM. If you don't like it, start your own series... with blackjack... and hookers. In fact, forget about the autocross.
09-16-2009, 10:05 AM

vote Kinky and we can have the poker blackjack slots hooker autocross series.

w00t!

I'd vote for that.

I am going to have to cancel my registration. I don't want to, but my wife and I have an appointment with Homeland Security that we cannot reschedule. Hope you guys have a great time!

Crap, look at all the cars that are going to beat me! M3's, Mini's, Jerrett in a fishing vessel, Iain in the same water craft... sigh.

Don't forget the R32. And the Acura with the hairpiece. :wink:

I think you'll be ok against a couple GS (tire) Minis and STX cars. Ken in the STU M3 might be a different story and that STX R32 is pretty quick. Can't wait to see how my crusty S05 Hoosiers from 2005 hold up, should be interesting.

It was a pretty even match between Iain and me at Pennington last time. He was on R888's and I was on nearly corded 2 year old RA-1's. I got him in the PAX runs, but he got me in the regular runs. I'll be on tired NT05s and Iain on new Kuhmo XS's.

And Ken'll beat me... better driver...

It's ok, I'm out for fun :)

"my crusty S05 Hoosiers from 2005"

"I'll be on tired NT05s"

"thery're 2nd hand ken o cast offs"

It's a little early to crank up the excuse generator.;)

I will be on almost new Hoosier's::Banana::

I'm curious to see how the RX8 stacks up against Ken's car. It's down on power and torque, but it's about 500 pounds lighter with similar sized tires and much better polar moment. I think on the bus lot I stand a good chance against him.

BTW, My XSs aren't new - thery're 2nd hand ken o cast offs. :wink:

Guess we'll find out tomorrow! :mrgreen:

Great, so with your reverse excuse generator you should have FTD then right? ;)

I have never driven an RX8 at all, so it will be a learning experience. NMC!

Easy learning curve, like a big forgiving Miata with better brakes.

Most importantly, make sure you SLAM the transmission into each gear as hard and possible to get the best times, the car loves that ;)

Much better brakes.

Regarding the tranny - you break it, you buy it. :wink:
