charles im more worried about eating up your tires.. Evans car ha good tires on it that will take the beating and not think twice.. your road tires are good for your 6 runs but i would not wanna give them an extra 6.. we will see how the motor is by saturday.. might run it and just go very easy

Here's the SPC forms.
You'll save time at registration if you print these out and complete them ahead of time. Please print them back to back on the same page - saves paper - just print one as usual, then reload the same paper into your printer and print the other side.
Thanks.

So we can put your Star Spec's on my car then and put my street Falken's on your car, forcing you to "go very easy". LOL :d

Sent you an e-mail, with info, you will need Google Earth to view the map attached. Not sure what the ball size is, I'll have to look but I believe it's bigger than 2".

that's what she said

Nope 2" will work fine. I can tow it to the site Friday if you need me to, it's only a couple of miles from my work. I usually do the Brooksville tow.

I had an unexpected childcare issue and cannot attend this event. I sent email to info@drivefast.org. I hope I can retain credit.

I haven't autocrossed in at least three months so this is really less than ideal. This will be the longest I've ever gone between events in seven years. It does not feel good, and I do not recommend it.

There is a lot of good competition in M1. I can't wait to see the results.

Sorry to hear that Chuck...was prepping to give you a run for you money. Hope to see ya in October. And yeah, missing more than two events in a row blows...but try missing 9 out of 11. Now that sucks!
