Okay. Now I need an M3-eligible car to drive on July 30th. So that I can play to win.

Loren,
If you show up with a white Civic they cannot deal with it. Sad. Almost makes me wish I knew how to tweet. :lol:

M2 alert. My plan is to miss the next event because I am going to clean up and start advertising my car. If I should decide to attend I would probably run in Fun class to let 2-4 battle it out. Matt make sure your car is running well.

I looked up that car since it has STX SCCA on it. It is the ONLY Civic in GS. They only imported 1000 of them to USA. It has a Mugen lowered suspension, open exhaust, aero cladding. 197HP and 18" wheels. STX allows 9" wheels and 265mm tires if they can find any 200q tires in that width?
If it isn't an actual Mugen Si then the parts are easily available to build one? I honestly thought it might belong in M2. Guess not. It's a valid M3 car. Good luck finding another one:(

No pressure; however, Matt needs to a hell-mary any place in nothing less than first for there to be any meaningful battle - otherwise, the points may change, but the names look to be in t-shirt order (baring availability of a spare tardis).

Philip and I were gonna co-drive with Joe Brannon and try for a 1-2-3 finish to really shake up the M2 crowd. But, I guess Joe's not coming.

I still need an M3-eligible ride for this event.

Mine actually isn't the Mugen Si. It's just a regular "base" Si. The Mugen goes to GS stock due to a different suspension package from Honda. Mine falls in HS stock.

Joe,
You got your ass handed to you by a base Si. Whoa.
The guy can drive.
Whoa.

I like guys who can drive.

Well even then once you start modding the Mugen and base are basically the same. It is STX prepped not full tilt but close.

Chase is the current STX points leader from Jax, so he doesn't suck. (My son Tyler in my old car is right behind him )

So Ron, did today's 9 points get you on the podium? Or did the drops keep you in 4th?

C'mon Joe, this is racing... It's a tie for a three way loss to you!

Finally got the points updated. Review them, let me know if there are any errors. But, I think I found all of the duplicates and other nonsense.

http://drivefast.org/results/championship-points/

M2 was weird! Three-way tie for 2nd place. Ron had fewer 1st place finishes than Les and Dan, that put him at the bottom of the pile. Les and Dan had the same number of 1st place finishes, and the same number of 2nd place finishes. Had to go all the way down to 3rd place to find the advantage for Les! (yes, sometimes even finishing 3rd matters!)

Don't think it makes any changes but it looks like you have 9 points at last event in M3 for two people.

Fixed on my end. Will be correct in the next update. Thanks!

That's a remnant from me playing around a few weeks ago! "What if Curtis shows up and takes first?" :lol:
