ST at San Diego Tour

We currently sit at 12 entrants
We don't have Jonathan Lugod's co-driver if he has one (what happened to palero?).
We don't have Jason Flores.
We don't have any SFR types like Ed and Charlie or Kevin and Katie.
We don't have Edison Tran yet from SFR who is looking for a co-drive in ST. I'd gladly let him in my car if I had an opening. Let's get him a ride.
Can we get to 20 drivers in ST this year at SDTour? I think we might. West Coast ST rocks!!! I am so pumped about this season.
And yesterday really cool to get help from Jonathan, Jason, and Kenny. Great group of guys out here in ST working together and supporting each other to get better, get faster, and get more competitive. The rest of the country doesn't have a chance against the West Coast brothers.

Oh yeah..... WE ARE THE BIGGEST CLASS!!!
Our STU cousins are second with 11 entrants. I wonder if STU with their 3 maybe even 4 times the torque and AWD can match our times?

You mean Pro, and Tours? Yes. But if Pro Tour there's no such thing

It's:
- National Tour
- Pro Solo
- Nationals
- Pro Solo Finale (the last 2 are the championships in Lincoln, Nebraska)

At the Pro Solo
Toyo pays 300 for 1st 200 for 2nd and 100 for 3rd
Honda pays 150, 100, 50.
Hawk will have something
That's just for class competition. There is also 500 if you win the challenge. I don't know if there is a Honda Challenge this year, but that paid Civic ST drivers pretty good last year!
ChaseCam awards pretty hefty ChaseCam Dollars for the top two finishers in the Bonus Challenge.
At the Tours
Toyo pays 300 for 1st 200 for 2nd and 100 for 3rd

Jonathan gave me a ride at the fast Porsche course today ... wow ... those ST guys are scary! I agree ... it's cool to see Seb, Jonathan, Stephen, Jeff, Nicole, Shana and Jason all working together today ... even exchanging ECU's between their cars trying to track down a fuel starvation problem in Yeoh's Civic ...

We will see... with your raw time last event, and Ken's times in SD, I think the Pax indexes should be reversed.

Hmm that is a monthly college payment there. I am going to have to step my game up a lot.

Things are changing so fast in ST this year, that for the first time in years I've thought about calling Rick Ruth and telling him sorry for past criticism, you're right. ST(s) does stand for Still Too soft.
After the breakthroughs Tadd made last event he's going to be a threat by the end of the year I predict. Still only 4 events under his belt. I'm really proud of him.
