S1 David - I have finally taken the advice of all the people who have ever driven my C5 and it will have the top tier widest 200 tires I could find for this event on stock rims. I will be scrubbing them in at this event. No more bringing putty knife to gunfight in 2017 at least. Might even find time to check the alignment before then?

Now if I can just remember where I put the car keys?

I see Loren has registered a 94 Miata for this event, does this mean the FASTiva isn't up to the task of competing for first place in M3?

It means Loren should pay closer attention to what he's doing when he registers at 2am.

Joe pissed himself. Oops. When you feel pee on your foot you have lost.

I'm in! I won't have teflon coated tires this time. I'm pretty much out of excuses, so I'll just have to push harder and suck less.

Gentlemen. This is called "racing". Put up or shut up!! We know you will enjoy our pain.

Sadly I learned today that George B. decided on an "automatic" '16 MX5 because it can do 65mph in 2nd gear. Sorry Gerry, you got the stick. Whack, whack. Run children and grab all the candy from Gerry's paper Mexican dragon

When you heal from this WRX beating I'll show up again with the RX8 with the really big stick and whack your hot candy.

A course map might also help the registration list!

LoL, a longer version of the school course would be fun, 'specially for those that attended.

Postby **Loren** » Mon Oct 24, 2016 3:55 pm

We've already got a course designed for this one. Could do something like the school course for the next event. With the zigzag stuff being so wide, it is better for a classic, anyway.

So I signed up. It was painless, and I highly recommend it.

That looks like fun. I can't wait.

My wife and I are both signed up for this.

She really wanted to do another event before the State Championship and couldn't make it to the school.

Okay, I'll bite. In what possible way can this course be advantageous to the Fastiva???
