Philip, do you want to FTD or not? That is the question. If yes, the you can take the Rust machine out again.

Just like last time, if you accept, the rules of engagement will follow, but first you accept blindly. Haha

Done.

The rules are simple this time.
FTD or pay.

The game is rigged. Obviously, the guy with the R8 is going to set FTD.

On paper, yea....

Looks pretty obvious from the S1- 19 racers Sat. that the SCCA Dixie Tour starts March 15-17. There are like 10 sleepers in that class.

At first I thought it was FN with that many participants. But then Phillip is a ringer too no matter where he lands:) So it's all in good fun.

An odd factoid. There is no SS class signed up for the Tour this year. Plus most entrants are in other than Stock Street classes. FAST rules apply.

I guess I'll bring crash lol
For clarification is this FTD or street tire FTD?

Street tire satisfies...

Yep, some really fast stuff in S1.

you should raise the stakes for overall FTD including those in FN

But ES (S4) is the largest class in the event.

But ES (S4) is the largest class in the event.

For a stock class with no "catch-all" statement that specifies only a particular set of cars made between about 1964 and 2005, where most of the competitors are in 20-25 year old Miatas... that's both strange and impressive.

Thinking back to when I started autocrossing in 1995. It would be like the biggest class being mostly 1974 MGB's!

Well, 15-20 year-old Miatas…there's only a single NA in the group. Seasoned by two 16 year-old Toyotas and a 30 year-old Porsche. But not terribly surprising -- ES has more or less been touted as the "cheap sports car" class, for which there aren't that many cars to begin with, and once you get past Miatas and MR2s, the rest of the eligibles aren't all that common. When's the last time anyone saw a stock 4-banger TVR, let alone at an autocross?! Even if the next major revision pushes more of CS downstream, most of those cars are uncommon enough that I think Miatas and MR2s will stay popular.

There are only 7 people in FN this time but if he can beat the 20 people in S1 that is very difficult in a 31 year old GT fat Stang w/ much less HP and eligible for Histerical Tag.

A crash is much worse. Typo's are scary sometimes.
