I hear you, the RSB was the last thing on my autox parts bucket list. I think my overall setup will have me sitting pretty much where I would like to be without going overboard. I don't see myself spending anymore $$ for a whole new suspension or anything crazy.

As far as the RSB options go tho, I went with the ST suspensions bar, with the 30% & 50% setup option.

Compared to other bars on the market it's in the middle of the pack for stiffness, most others come with 50%, 70%, or 90% of additional stiffness. So hopefully setting this bar at 30% over stock won't be too radical of a change.

I'm getting a new T-shirt made for AX events...
In the front it'll say "Stop messing with the car"
and In the back "Ye'r gonna spin" I'll get you guys both a cut from the sales... might pay for a foursome of tires

Can't make it to this event - working to feed the AX play money piggybank.
Save me a turn in that Crown Vic will you Mr. Mayor? Always wanted to drive one like I was in an episode of "Cops"

I keep threatening to do a "Push Harder, Suck Less" t-shirt.

Frisky, it's 1RWD Moby Dick. It weighs 50% more than Dan's car, has 1/3 less tire, 400+ rated, 1/4 less width rims, a failing headliner, less HP than a 4.6 Mustang, 4 doors, is 1/3 longer,it's an automatic ON THE TREE, it's 24 year old stock, my wife is willing to ride with me in it, plus 3 x slower but 12 times cooler than Dan's white car When Ron the Ricer gets his hands on this will Dan give him a head start? Not needed. This is Ron's home ground. BIG Men do BIG things. Oh, and I signed up 50% sooner than the Dan E. Boy. I saw the course map. Six grown men in the car seats and 6 dead men in the trunk. No contest. Ron wins with the AC running. Watch Dan sweat. Watch Ron Waltz.

Ah, visions of sugar plums and cracked nuts behind the wheel as the fat ballerina is to pirouette through the cones in her all seasons - such a sight... sure to be a delight.

My wife owns a professional t-shirt heat press and we have a vinyl plotter/cutter. If you're really interested tell me the Tshirt sizes, the wording you want and any font/layout styles.

$20 for single sided, $25 for double sided. Fast easy one-off shirts.

Well chosen quote. It will be fun to watch for sure.

You'll have to give Sam a drive when he's home on leave sometime...although he may destroy you all with it. Five-O Academy doesn't allow them to hit cones....

I don't think I could live in an environment like that.

Registration closes Monday, be sure you're in!

Since the Miata's sidelined through the Classic while awaiting parts (for all you Miata racers, just short of 250,000 miles seems to be when everything unravels....), I'm looking for a ride. Doug -- you want a report on how that lightweight cop-car wannabe handles compared to an armored Suburban? Any of the S5 hotshoes want a baseline? I'll throw in some compensation for tire wear. Phone lines are open.

I only figure on taking a max of 6 runs so you're welcome to give it a go if you don't have a better offer. No problem.

The FASTiva can handle some extra runs.

The Moby has a shorter turning radius than Shamu ever had. With AS tires, bad pavement and some rain it could win against Fastiva.

Maybe there's a extra, extra run ?

I see 2 Dougs and a Eva, had to sign up

I used to drive a reg cab early 80s Ford F150 stick shift with roll down windows and no power anything... in a hurry... I must cross out "drive cop car" off my bucket list

You know guys and gals. If you're not working or celebrating an anniversary this is a golden opportunity for you to get much needed seat time on an active busy flowing course that's not totally flat, ordinary surface in cool weather. Awesome.

Today is your last chance to sign up. Bring your daily driver and learn how to avoid hitting things with it. Have your main squeeze ride with you. Bring your race cars with street tires on it. Learn to smile again.
