Scared off by the high entry fees. }:)
Wife is suffering from burnout. Plus our second car (the 335 coupe) goes into the shop tomorrow so all we have is the overworked civic that needs major maintenance work. Not sure where that leaves our autocross plans for the rest of the year.

And Robert re-injured my shoulder on Sunday. Not sure I could drive this weekend anyway (as it spasms while I try to type this).

I really don't know enough about Matt to strike deep... And from what I do know I'm not feeling the effort's quite worth it.

Aww, c'mon, Steve. The Scion's probably a good place to start! :gpower:Steve Ekstrand wrote:I really don't know enough about Matt to strike deep... And from what I do know I'm not feeling the effort's quite worth it.

A Scion? Really? Hardly needs me putting the poor guy down. Take pity.

The Scion driven by Scott Webb finished ahead of an RX-8.
Re: Mako asks steve questions in the school topic.
How close to stock was that Scion? Even my pig of a car could be competitive if I sank enough money and parts into it.

Re: Mako asks steve questions in the school topic.
And they designate the specs for each model car to even things up...
So, for a SCION to win how did they spec negative weight and infinite power??? A mystery.

Re: Mako asks steve questions in the school topic.
I think it runs in what Speed's series calls Street Tuning, against Miatas and several other lower-HP cars.
