It seems the general consensus is the 04/05 is at a disadvantage due to non programable ECU. I'd like to think I could make up some of the disadvantage too but its going to be real competetive. Not locally really, I think I was 6-8 secs ahead of STR this past event. I've been quicker than a few CRs too. haha

I threw out the possibility of VMP this weekend to the boss and she didn't say no, so there is a chance if I can get one of the 10 walkup spots. haha

STR > BS? hmmm, we'll see

The thought of going through a 250 page thread to figure out what works and what doesn't has me worried. see STR prep thread.

 

That would be great. I definitely like the feel of my 04. Last year I helped Jay get his car ready for Nationals and on day one of the event, my FSB car on Hoosiers would have been faster, at least for me. With a little tweaking his CR felt more like mine and Jay loved the way it was handling. The event before that I was .1 behind hin in his CR, me in the 04. Granted that was a year ago and he's only getting faster.

I need to get some feedback on my car, I haven't had a codriver in 2 years. Except my wife who ran her first event in 3 yrs this past weekend.

 

The D.C. pro has kind of screwed up my planning. I was figuring to have until at least mid may before having the car completely ready. Now it will be a mad dash before April 14. The Z will most likely be parked until mid march (at least), and it will be stored/covered outside this year (Fail).

Still have to get 100lbs off the car (and some of the driver, too), replace the pass seat with an ultrashield, get legal front A-arms, figure out an aero package, and work the fenders over to get the 315's to fit on the front (rear isn't a problem).

I feel bad for the locals that are making big set-up or class changes...there is only going to be a very few events prior to that event up here. Also, those events aren't likely to help out too much for a National either..

 

Jeff,

I understand your reluctance to go STR. I bet that if you add a HFC, Header, exhaust and even a basic tune you will be convinced to switch. My CR is crazy strong after those mods. It has huge torque and the car has already been transformed on power alone. The power is intoxicating and I seriously can see catching a BS car now depending on how well I can sort out the suspension when it arrives.

Jump in - it will be more fun having you with your dedication to autocross. plus, 3/4 of the STR thread is useles now that people have disclosed their setups last nationals.

 

GoRacingTV.com , Tomorrow at 1pm for an Exciting announcement from the PRI stage . Evolution Performance Driving Schools will introduce the next Evolution in Autocross !

 

Thanks. I needed something autocross related to look forward to after depressing talk of everyone putting their cars away for what seems like a pending 20 year span of 4 winter months.

 

Yeah, me too. I'm trying to decide what to do (as in, I've got work to do) and everybody is storing their cars.

As far as the announcement:

"For those of you that missed Jr's post , Evolution Performance Driving Schools will be making a big announcement later this week , that I'm sure most East Coast Autocrossers will like ....That is , IF you like Nation Level events with cool formats and a chance to take home some cash .......stay tuned for more info "

 

I talked to Jr. two weeks ago about this...should be fun and draw lots of top talent.

 

OK, so can someone say what this is?

 

Have to tune in, Noel .

I'll PM you.
