What consolidation class is SU in? I'd still run against all you SM people in the "Street Mod" group, right?

Yes. SM and SU, along with SSM and SMF are run in the same consolidated group, so you would be with all of us too. Just a different PAX factor.

Mike you should stay away from autox, they are just gonna make you do timing... now if you want to help out at north nevada rally we could use a timing guy ... *teasing*

Should be the same link as in the RFR thread. Or you can simply show up for autocross. As long as you're early enough to fill out the tech card, go through Registration (which is only a few minutes), get teched and be rpesent for hte driver's meeting, you're in. Figure 8 AM or earlier for morning groups, and 12 noon for afternoon.

I might get the LeMons E30 out there a couple times to give it a shake down. It's getting all 2006 up in here, the battle in SM, myself racing a car that no business on the road let alone a autocross track. Should be fun.

This is ridiculous!!! I randomly hop on the forums and all of a sudden I feel like I need to be in the thick of the SM battle this year with the evo running at top notch. Too bad I'm in TX

I am not sure whether you will be the only Subaru, but SP1 has SSP, ASP, BSP and CSP, so you will definitely have competitors.

I don't know whether they will appreciate smack talk or not though

I dunno 'bout smack talking... I wanted to move out of N to avoid being spanked by Ariels and AMG SLRs and whatnot.

Me... but no wagon. Should be ready for the next weekend, but I need to troubleshoot a P0123 TBS code, and possibly replace the DBW throttle body.

I'll be there obviously as chief instructor and co-chair.

Should be good. Some different elements this year. Skid pad, easy/hard slalom, NASCAR Rectangle 8, micro course w/ Chicago box and pivot cone. Should be interesting when put together.

Good day today! Pretty damn big turnout of newbies!

Soon as I can figure out shaving off enough speed on the dirty track, and using ALL of the grip on the clean track, I'm pretty sure I'll be hurting some feelings!

I had a great time this morning with the students and then did some tire pressure testing on the skid pad and some tail hanging out in the slalom and rectangle 8. I had forgotten how much power on oversteer I have dialed into the car at least with old crispy 615s.

I caught them all very nicely except the first one in the slalom where I ended up sideways in the finish gate. No cones though.

1 run was not enough at the end of the day. Kevin W. was very fast in only 2 runs. Don't know how Cory did. His wheels scare me though.

That figure 8/Nascar loop looked like a lot of fun. I wish I had my car together today just to try that out.
Cory, your car looks mean. I love the wheels and flares.
