    I agree. It does not bother me if you and/or Mike want to run in X. The rules say you belong there. As they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Not that you're heavy or anything.

    I don't think anyone is really spending all that much time "worrying" about your "little 'ol ($$ in upgrades) CS car," just suggesting that you might want to come play in Y. I think the Hoosiers are a terrific idea!

    Run wherever you like. I am certainly not suggesting that you shouldn't run in X. As JJ said, it is the correct class for the car, but an experienced driver in a well-prepped car (like you) might enjoy the challenge. Seriously, I wasn't trying to push you into Y. :)

    Rat Finkel had it right, you guys are way too serious. Y will work out fine if the A/B crowd wants to kick me out. This weekend I am working on my MW PRO set-up so I can try and hang with the General.

    Seriously? Just run in the class your car belongs in. Unless you don't happen to own that magnetic letter, of course...

    No magnetics required in BMW. Never mind! Forget I said anything. I'm running in X. Silicontek and I will just have to have our little grudge match in different classes!

    What, everyone is now in X class? Shoot, and I just changed my class to Y.

    Just run that unobtainium X5 in X-class.... though I'd love to see what you do with purple crack on all 4 corners....

    I don't know what you all are talking about! I don't have a grudge with anyone...well at least not with Mike, now that I think about it.

    Lol! After all the hell-raising about NC's and classing - last fall and recently - several people have made the good point to me that there will be more NC's entering the autocross world as they continue to get cheaper and it will only confuse the issue if the classing is disputed. I'm going with the majority and running in the "proper" class this season. Others may do as they choose, obviously.

    Apologies to SLATES for the flip-flopping and heckling. I will try to bring you some grapes and pie, or at least a funnel cake.

    Nice driving in the X class today, guys. Got my ass handed to me today. Toyos really have a different feel that I haven't figured out yet, but Brad and DavidSS sure seem to have their setups figured out!

    Great course, JJ. I'd like to see a variation of that one again. I don't remember the last 90 sec course I've run.

    That was a great course today, tons of fun plus 10 runs and great weather. Congrats Russ on FTD!

    Great event!

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    Yep, I had a good time, too. The Toyos are very different than the 'Kooks, but still very effective on my NA.

    It was a fun day. I thought Brad had me at the end but I squeaked it out by .04. Great course JJ!

    Big congrats to Russ on FTD! Pretty soon you'll be setting FTD at every event you go to but the first time one is pretty memorable.

    And congrats as well to Brad! That was some epic driving today! STR competitors at the tour and pro are going to be in for a surprise!
