Congrats on the RX8 purchase. FYI, I have a set of the original 18x8 SSR comps that I might be willing to part with, but they will be more $$$ than the TR or Rotas.

Unfortunately yes. I don't think it was a great idea to tell the 2nd guy that I already got tagged.

In the incident pictured only 82. At that speed I typically don't worry about cops over here... no radar detector in the car, I'll bring it next year.

Reminds me of my first set of race tires when I was a n00b. No camber and probably overdriving on crap v700s:

Anyone have any used but still decent tires laying around?

The C6 Z06 has been in SS since it came out. Hmm, C5Z's are going for low 20k's right now, pretty tempting...

I thought you were all about the 911 in the new AS. Interesting garage floor.

Sometimes we forget that not everyone can access the private SCNAX area.

So if you share a car does each team member do 2 stints in that car? Seems like that would be an advantage over teams with no co-drivers I'm not sure if that would necessarily be an advantage. The car will be used for 24 runs assuming it's only used for one team. Yeah, the tires will get beat up......

On the other hand, I think I'm in favor since I'm too lazy to actually prep my own car to race. Hmm.

At least twice as good as the first place we tried. All you need to do is hang with Uyeda and Rad and you'll have a good time.

Pretty entertaining to watch. Wilcox hit a cone on his final run, then stopped for a down cone in the finish chute after the lights. On his re-run he got the time he needed, but hit another cone midway through the run.

Christine just slowed down on her 3rd. Katy takes the win!

Jason, reporting live from Lincoln

In STS, how much was it the car vs. drivers (CRX/Miata?). We were blaming it on the car all weekend. :) We had a rough time Sat morning when no rubber was laid down, but the car was much better Sunday. I'm not too familiar with the national STS scene, but Ian Baker finished 2nd last year at Nationa...

So, what's the surface like? The surface is great as far as how smooth and flat, and how much of it there is. You could pretty much design any course you wanted. Some small rocks do get thrown up by the cars, but I haven't seen anything significant chunks. The grip is actually slightly lower than I...

Here's some video of what you missed Craig:

FYI, that was me driving Heinitz car in X runs... wouldn't want anyone to think he was actually that sloppy. ;)

Walter Wong has been running his NSX down here with a 225/275 V710 setup and some suspension bits. I actually found it easy to drive in that config. No issues with snap oversteer at all. It was a little sluggish to turn in, and the gearing is a bit too tall like Randy mentioned... but overall it's a...

What class is Muchoff running in? I see Sean is going, Isley, Heinitz, etc. so what car Jason? Check out STS. I know it's hard to keep track of me lately, I've probably driven 10 different cars this year. 8-) You should kill it in STU Tom! BTW, I haven't booked a hotel... doesn't seem to be any che...

Looking at Mike's time, maybe you should've left the Toyos on.

Pete, check out the video page, looks like they had the same idea as you...

The timing software does not allow more than one indexed class to be applied. For the same reason, you can't run PAX SK2, or SK2 X runs. I think it's a pretty safe assumption that Novice class drivers will not be on r-compounds anyways.

Stayed at the Rainbow last time. A bit too much neon and suede going on in there, but the other casinos are probably fine. The whole town is like 5 square miles, wherever you stay will be close to the event site.
