I will see you all there! Likely on stock tires. By the time everything ships and gets mounted, balanced, I think it'll be the 11th. LOL!

S5 didn't change. What are you looking at?

Maybe. Can't let misinformation stand on the forum, though.

Joe- I'll be playing locally in S1 with the RS, wheels and tires are coming soon. Can't wait to add grip to that thing.

I'm giving everyone a one event head start(I'll be at the Firm on 10Sept). I've never campaigned a full Fast season, looking forward to giving 2016/2017 a try.

That car is going to be ridicilous with some grip! (and a good driver)

I will be absent for the first three events to allow for me to make a dramatic come back into last place. ;-)

Tang (not the orange drink) RS beat Dat Ng by .04 sec with 200 tires on 38-40 sec course last Sunday on sorta grippy asphalt. Dat normally beat FAST and SCCA BS by 1-2 seconds on concrete.

I certainly don't relish going against any AWD rallycross car on 200 tires at TBD with a Vette :bangwall:

So how much better is an RS than an Sti or an EVO in S1 on concrete? Looks good on paper but will it fly? I was hoping DL would show up with his PSS's while I still have my Toyo T1's on. Oh well they are nearly worn out. October is coming. Bob T cannot make it either and he is sad about it. There are 7 competitors in S1 and at least 3 normal guys aren't signed up yet. It's gonna be HUGE.

**I just noticed the lone RS tucked in the PM session. Awesome. They're everywhere, there're everywhere.

Tony gets a "bye" run with Ken at Lincoln if he can keep that WRX at bay? Doesn't seem like that car is classed right? BUT Tony needs some competition.

David, that is exactly what everyone who's co-driven my Vette has said. AND it will be so by October.

David, I thought Gerry was ordering new tires for his ND.

Hey, registration closes Monday! Be sure you're registered. Remind all of your friends to get registered, too.

The Early Session is full, but there's plenty of room in the Late Session.

25 more people can sign up for FN to make up a new record for any class :grin:

Sort of wish I was running in me usual PM group -sleep in, have lunch and get home early with 5 runs. Can't take a full day of summer sun sweating anymore or I'd consider doing the FN duo. At least I don't have to drive an hour+ to get there and back.

There's going to be some great battles in almost all the classes this event. Different cars, new people, different classes, new tires, new wheels, NEW T Shirts, same crappy rusty driving :lol: S4 still seems to dominate the top times of all the classes consistently. Those guys are awesome. If we did pax they'd own it.

Rob in a Fiero? I owned two of those rascals long ago. Brian in M3 again against the 3 Amigos and the Soyora!! Drew in MO. ETC. :thumbwink:

Even though I entered my new ND Miata into MotorsportsReg, I accidentally registered with my old Mazda 2, but I'm in the correct class (S2). When I went to go edit my registration, it tried to get me to pay again. Can anyone with admin access to the event change my car to a 2016 Mazda MX-5?
