I'm not the most competitively driven person around... but, I think y'all are doing it wrong.

Undertired car in a really competitive class, should be fun :P

But for cheapo tires, I've had decent results with them at the few events I've done in them, makes me wonder how much faster I could be with a 200 TW tire

I prognosticate you will match me on all but your last run, whereby you will best me by several tenths of a second proving your superlative autocross skill, good sir. Huzzah!

This has got to be the weirdest "trash talk" I've ever heard!

I'm just hoping my new "cheater" setup will keep me ahead of Rob and Jake! (and now Eva and Doug)

BTW, 3 days left to register. Check the reg list, be sure that you and all of your favorite competition is on it!

Indubitably. However regrettably I will not be in attendance thus, you, my good man, are given prime opportunity for victory.

Doug and Eva are just hoping to get past the break-in period before the 15th.

The major drawback of this car for me in the peanut gallery thus far is the lack of power/memory seat adjustments. Makes sharing a car the way we've been doing it quite a hassle.

Looking forward to the new ride.

You guys could split run groups if you want. Just put a note on your reg that one of you wants to run separately.
