Texas National Tour March 27/28

A set of ASTs, a set of 17x9 wheels with the right offset, and a set of 255/40-17 street tires, and you're 80-90% of the way there, imho.

Exactly! It's not like it is Street Prepared or anything....Maybe...

C'mon Robert, be one of the cool kids!

After playing with my car on a very limited STX prep I can't imagine going back to Stock, at least with this car. It's just so much more responsive and fun to drive in STX trim, even if the overall grip level is lower.

Too bad that last 10% on a 50 second course is 5 seconds, sounds like DFL J/k!

I can't agree more. I am converted.

I haven't really turned a wheel in anger in the STU M3 but it sure looks like a blast...If I can ever learn how to autocross on street tires, I can count on one hand the number of times I have NOT been on Hoosiers.

The last time with the Mustang was rather hilarious (especially with the stock suspension). You sure handled it pretty well though, I didn't think that car could move like that (while almost tipping over).

That was the worst thing I had ever felt inside a car. One of the owners of AST was there after he saw the car run he said "We'll put a rush on your suspension."

are non-members allowed to register?

[Davidss]

are non-members allowed to register?

No I'm pretty sure you have to be an SCCA member to run a tour. A few years ago the turnout was really low for the tour at the bus lot and they waived that requirement but I doubt that will happen this time.

[autoxmax]

Non-members can compete in any National Solo event with a SCCA "weekend membership" except at Nationals.

I've got a note in to the National Office asking what the procedure is for registering with a weekend membership for a National Tour.

I'm pretty sure the only additional cost is $15 for the weekend membership.

I'll post something as soon as I have info concerning this.

[jrj512]

My co-driver will not be available for this event, so I have an STS Miata co-drive open for a reasonable tire fee. PM me or email me at jrj512 at dfwmx5 dot com if you are interested.

On the non-member entry info:

You can enter the event as a non-member using the FAX option for registration (Do it before Friday the 12th - 4pm before the entry fee goes up!). But you will have to pay for a "Weekend Membership" at the event on Friday March 26th.

[autoxmax]

For all you procrastinators:

Make sure you enter the event before 4pm this Friday, March 12th!!

After the above date/time, the entry fees go up to $130!! If you do miss the above date/time you can still enter online all the way up to Monday, March 22nd.

After March 22nd you'll have to enter the event at the site Friday, March 26th between 5-7pm.

No additional registrations will be taken after 7pm on Friday the 26th!

A handful of us setup the National Tour courses yesterday in Mineral Wells.

All I can say is.... bring a full tank of gas!

The course is over 1 mile long. (take a survival pack, gps & extra water for your course walk! )

Onething broke his car he was having so much fun testing the course!

BTW, before you go crazy & start ranting, he's not running the Tour. -No unfair advantage on his part.

Hope everyone entered before last Friday @ 4pm!!

Looks like we got a big field of out of state competitors.
