I totally agree. Saturday I feel I did well, 2nd in class out of 4, but Sunday was a total facepalm moment, I couldn't drive well at all.

You had me thinking about it but, if I'm getting sticky tires, they need to be BIG (275 or wider).

That's what is holding me back as well, 275s on an 8.5" wheel is pushing it.

I'm not a fan of the buldging side wall deal. I'm hopeing to get some 17x10's but we'll see what the $$ says. It will end up being $2K+ on wheels and tires but so much faster.

Cornering speed is over rated.

Cornering speed? I wanted more tracion so I could put the mAd PoWeZ of the 6G72 to the ground! :seeya: I think I'm going to need stiffer springs though... Dam it time to put the 93 together and run XP. If only I could afford it.

Well, there is a thread on EvoM about an Evo 8 that is running in F Prepared, it's pretty wicked and was under weight when it hit the scales. Gut the car, add suspension, big wheels and tires, use lightweight parts and you're golden.

Last event of the season done and over. Now I have no idea on how I'm getting my driving fix for the next 6 months.

I had a kick ass time though, fastest car on street tires, 9th in raw time!

Nice.
I am gonna spend winter getting ready to do auto-x.
My little brother, not LB, got an '03 miata and I told him about doing auto-x and he is excited.

What a great end to a great season. Lots of new friends and faces, learned a lot about the car and driving. Met a lot of my personal goals for the year, time to kick it up a notch for 2009. Now it's 3 months to the awards banquet, then 3-4 months till the first events of the year.

No way, the car and driver will not be nationally competitive. SCCA Tour in Milwaukee or Kansas City? Maybe. But I definitely want to hit up a regular event or two in Milwaukee, Waterloo, Des Moines and/or Omaha.

With any luck next year the car will have some nice light 17x9 or 18x9 wheels with 275-wide sticky tires, the front swaybar installed, maybe some suspension bushings and more power. Given that, it will be extremely competitive locally in BSP (I'm sick of 2nd and 3rd place to M3s and a 350Z) and if I stop being an idiot on the early runs it could easily be a top-10 PAX contender, or at least I can hope. I have a good thing going on locally so I want to stick with it.

These two need to be done with me included. Some old friends could use a visit. :evil:
