You can run with me if you don't flat-spot the tires. :) Or if you want to stay in E2 for points, I'll leave the street tires on to start, and we can swap 'em between heats.

Print one, flip the paper over and put it back in your printer and print the other - Presto! back to back copies on one piece of paper. Please.

Thanks man! I'll take you up on that. And I'll choose the "non-flat-spot" option - cuz everything's made up and the points don't matter!

I have a quick question,
I want to install a lowering kit from auto zone to get rid of the "I'm on a Boat" feeling, it's just for the race.
Will I go then in a different group? like mod class or will i stay in the normal unmodified group?

Answers will be appreciated

Modified cars are production-based cars with any of the following modifications:
Any internal engine modification (crank, cams, rods, pistons)
Any external engine modification that alters fuel delivery (alternate carb, altered fuel injection, fuel-air ratio adjusters)
Any non-factory engine replacement
Welded chassis reinforcement, including welded roll bars/cages
Alternate or altered springs
Altered suspension geometry (relocated pickup points, alternate suspension parts to increase factory alignment adjustment range such as camber kits, camber plates, or slotted strut mounts)
Alternate main body panels (doors, hood, trunk lid, fenders, roof panel, windows)
Removal of significant factory interior parts (seats, interior panels)

Bump up one class for adding forced induction
Bump to donor class OR up one class (whichever is higher) for a significant (+25% HP increase) engine swap that is not a common bolt-in swap that results in a factory-available (US market) configuration

You don't need a lowering kit, you just need a good set of shocks. Maybe a good swaybar upgrade... look to the police package.

But, for your first event? Don't worry about it, just show up and drive!

Brian and I have been having a good ol' time flogging his 240SX this season with completely worn out shocks.
