510 please - thanks!

First run of the day, and first time running with a passenger (you can hear him say "oh s***" about 5 seconds in). Not my fastest run (59.743), but probably the most fun!

My third run ended up being my fastest, an 86.893 (I DNF'd my 4th run going too fast into a slalom). http://youtu.be/UJcU_MIdwHE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Vince - That was the first time that I have seen the red flashing screen on HLT. I tend to use it in manual mode n...

Looks like I'm gonna miss this one - I got into a fender bender while driving to work & now I have a Jeep Compass as a rental. Boo! See you all at the end of next month!

I had a great time, learned a lot, and my tires survived! Here's my fastest (and last) run of the weekend:

Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on driving, car setups, tire (and intercooler) spraying & everything else - much appreciated!!!

Do you have a set??? Jay Woodruff make good numbers and letters, It is a little late probably for this event. I have a extra set in red, isn't your #'s red you can borrow them for this weekend if need be. Let me know so i can pack them . Thanks for the offer Tom! I did buy a set for the ProSolo las...

Got it - thanks again!

Excellent, thanks guys! In that case, what magnets/class letters should I put on my car?

Hey Rick,

I'm running Novice/DSK this weekend and just wanted to double check my run/work group. I'm thinking that I am with the DS group (running Heat 5/working Heat 2) - is that correct?

Thanks!

Bring those front pressures up with no front bar 42 psi at least to about 45psi HOT the car will respond better on turn in. Thanks for the info, Tom! I'll increase the pressures this weekend and see how the car responds. I ended up flipping the tires around on the wheels - I'll bring my stock setup...

Nope, I've just got the stock 21 mm that came with the car. That may be something worth looking into - thanks for the tip!

Rick

Thanks Rick! I usually run 38 PSI all around.

Thanks for all the replies! I think I will take my runs this weekend on my stock wheels & tires, just to play it safe. The inner edges are in a lot better shape compared to the outer edges, so I'll probably try flipping them on the wheels & using them for practice until they are completely d...

Hey guys, after copious amounts of runs this weekend at practice, I noticed that my tires were making an unusually high amount of noise on the drive back from Fontana. I've had this set of Z1 StarSpecs on my car for a few months now, but I've probably racked up about 120 novice runs on them (which m...

Those slo-mo videos are awesome! Here's my fastest time on the right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy1O-j551Y8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My fastest on the left: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LLW5YRsbRE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Not th...

Yeah, I think my problem is with the clutch release. I'll definitely give your technique a shot next weekend!

I hope I can get this launch correctly next weekend. I suck at launching an AWD car.....I either roasted the clutch or bogged very badly!!! :oops: I'm on the same boat in my AWD car! 90% of the time it's bog city for me, the other 10% is clutch BBQ and spinning tires! I guess that's why I signed up...

Thanks for the info! Time to go order some new magnets

Hey guys, I'm running in the Road Tire class at the ProSolo - since this is a different class than what I run locally, I'm sure that I'll need to put different class letters on my car. Do you guys happen to know what letters I'll need? I'll be driving a Subaru WRX if that helps. Thanks!

I have one question about registration on the motorsportreg site. If I want to run my car as DSK NOV (D-stock, Street Tire, Novice), which modifier should I choose - Novice or SK2? The only reason why I ask this is that it either throws me in the Novice bracket (with no street tire index) or SK2 (wi...

Thanks Leonard, that was the answer I was looking for! Does this affect how I register on motorsportreg?

Hey everybody, I have a question about which run group I should be in. I've got a 2011 Subaru WRX on street tires with no mods & I've been running novice D Stock in the stock class run group for a little while. At the last event I noticed a few cars in the SK1/SK2 run group that had novice badge...

Thanks for the responses! Mako, I'll definitely take you up on that offer for the NOVICE magnets - see you Sunday!

Hey everybody, I've got a noob question that fits into this category. I purchased a set of magnetic numbers and class letters for my car, but I'm running in the novice class this weekend and did not buy extra "NOV" magnets to stick to my car. Is it alright if I print them out and stick the...
