Pro-Solo question

I'm having a brain fart: Can we spray down tires in between runs at a ProSolo? Or can it only be done in grid?

You know you can edit out the first 1:20 of the video, right? :lol: Indeed I do, but my Windows Movie Maker is corrupted (as is Windows Movie Player) on this computer! Despite being a genius, I can't figure out how to fix it! That's an easy fix Max. Stop downloading PRON... especially of the gay va...

Re: Thanks everyone! I'm having a blast

Let me tell you, after experiencing three events, I am so very happy to been able to participate. It's so much fun to spend time with other car people, discuss our rides and, even better, drive them as hard as we can on some really great courses. My hat is off to everyone; I'm especially grateful t...

Re: Exciting Pro Solo News

Highly unlikely that AS will have enough for a class. What happens? I'd be more than happy to co-drive with someone in AS to help make a class! Tom, thanks for the wonderful news! Great to see Kumho supporting Solo again! Now if only that "other" Korean tire maker would wake up and get mo...

Re: 2011 El Toro Pro Solo 4/8-4/10

Anyone need a class filler for the Pro? The clutch on the S2000 is going bad, and at this rate, I don't have the time or funds to get it fixed before the Pro. It looks like several classes need a couple warm(ish) bodies to fill for the class, so I'm happy to help!

Re: Which SK1 car to get

Um, does it have to be a SK1 car? Reading your criteria, (weekend/track car, street tires, 15-30k), KJ Cristopher's STX RX-8 sounds PERFECT for what you're looking for. Street tires, competitive, fun to drive, and its at the BOTTOM of your price range! Plus it's in a bonafide class!

Re: December Practice/Championship Reg Open

Hey Calclubbers, It looks like there's still room left for the practice? I'm contemplating going, but I'm on call, so I can't commit yet, although with these hockey pucks for rear tires, it might not be a bad thing if I can't make it... so will walk ups be ok? Also, in terms of the weekend membershi...

Cheapest place to get a new Honda?

Hey guys, I got a friend moving to Cali next week, and he wants to get a new Civic when he gets there. Does anyone know a good dealership that gives great deals? Back in Chicago, I would deal with one of the larger Honda dealerships becuase they were more focused on volume of sales, so they'd sell c...

James, I figure if you stay in Korea then I can build a true STR prepped S2000 with all the parts that you've ordered and sitting around the garage. I've got springs, nicely valved Konis and a spare set of Volk CE-28Ns. Don't worry I'll pay for the parts from you before I install them. Should be fu...

Hey CalClub, I'm wondering if any of you know of anyone looking for someone to hire. The airline industry is still a long ways from recovering, and the United/Continental deal may not be good news for me. I'd like to return back to SoCal, so if anyone has any leads, please let me know. My previous w...

I think that's where some people are getting, for lack of a better word, confused. They see the car Brian built doing better than the car Jason built and seeing that Brian's car looked more stock and they say, "See, it's gotta be faster in ST trim too". An NA Miata is way faster in CSP tr...

Well, with the Prosolo Finale in a week, the weather forecasts are available. It's really funny how moving to California, how complacent I've become at checking weather.
