^I did. I couldn't view them before because the site admin hadn't yet reviewed my registration or something along those lines.

I'll know for next time not to class myself the same. Part of it is I'm not sure when to stop calling myself a novice. I've only ever done 5-6 autocrosses so I feel new enough that I could still be considered a novice. I think next time I won't register as a novice.

Typically, someone who is in their first season or has run less than 5 or 6 events over more than one season would be considered a novice. I think your car would qualify for STR or XBSP.

I think you would have been 2nd in street tire.

^I think so too. I'll have to check what is allowed in STR. The only things that will probably class me funny is the wide rims (17x9.5s all around) and up front I have J's racing roll center adjusters/camber joints

I know people run 8.5s all around but I'm not sure about the 9.5s. STR has a much better PAX than BSP.

^I figured that as well. I'd definitely be willing to move down to 17x9s again if the 9.5s weren't going to cut it. I guess a lot of what I'd change up depends on whether or not I keep the car. If I went down to 17x9s I could also ditch those J's roll center adjusters/camber joints because I wouldn't need them at all. I'm sure the extra camber I have up front helps but I won't loose a lot by ditching that part.

and when you're ready to step down to 17x9s, give me a buzz...
