April 24 - FAST Classic at Tampa Greyhound

So I've got bad news and good news, the bad news is my S2000 won't be ready for Sunday, and the good news is I am completely available to keep tires warm for one select driver. :thumbwink:

Re: FAST Duel 2013! December 8 @ SPC

Just a reminder to anyone who's looking at the entry list and thinking, "there's nobody in my class!"

Classes will be "bumped" and combined (or split) as necessary to make 8-car brackets. Those 8 cars will be your "class" for this event. If you happen to be the "underdog" forced to run with a ...

Re: Oil preference - synthetic or dino?

After reading this thread I suppose I change my oil a little too often, With my wrx it was about every 3k miles with full synthetic. The S2000 I was planning on changing every 5k miles or so with full synthetic.

Re: October 13th TBD post event

Loved the course!!! Short, but loved the quick/fast transitions. Loved the section before the back stretch if you will. Very deceptive on how quick you could really take it (wide open). If I get the pleasure of autocrossing this car again, I'll NEVER run it without a full tank again that's for sure ...

So I'm not too good with colors do you guys think red or gold would be more visible on my gray s2000?

I really enjoyed this course exactly for this reason.

Any engine tune puts you into modified.

Re: about to buy tires...

My RS3s are 3 years old and still have some tread, my car weighs 2905 without me and 1/4 tank of gas. In my car the key to saving the tires is lots of negative camber and checking the temps while adjusting pressures. I have been looking at the BFG and Star Spec IIs, the Star Specs are, or maybe ...

Re: Endurocross 2013 True Confesions..

Before the results are posted, I just watched an in car video... in my second lap of the clockwise runs, I missed the last slalom cone of the return slalom course. Arggghhh.... I suspected it when I was driving, but there was nothing called in according to the times posted. Blind hope... Oh well ...

Re: August 3 - B'ville - Endurocross 2013!

The course was a lot of fun glad I was able to pick up a tshirt.
Although it was an incredibly hot and sweaty day it was well worth it.

Re: August 3 - B'ville - Endurocross 2013!

So I think I'm going to be running the S2000 at the endurocross, and I think my dad might be in my Subaru instead of his Evora.

Get ready for the domination. :P

Re: August 3 - B'ville - Endurocross 2013!

Am I okay to sign up for both the early and late session? I try to do this for as much seat time as possible, but I understand if I shouldn't as there is a limited number of slots.
Let's wait a while before doing that. If it looks like the event isn't going to fill up, we don't mind if you do both ...
