Now on the flip side, I am staying way too close to him, and most of the time rawtiming him in a BS S2000, which makes me believe that a well prepped BSP S2000 would probably rape the class, especially if it is a transitional course.

Me and Michael bounce ideas off each other pretty often the past couple of months. We are the only two fully prepped 350's in the country. Only appreciable difference at the moment is his car has aero. My car is a bit lighter, though. Day one at Dixie wasn't my best effort, but I was only about ~.3-.4 off you at Dixie on Day 2. A course with a little less wiggle, and maybe I could have given you a little more of a run. That said, you drive the wheels off that CR, and you are right about an S2k in BSP.

Damn Mike, I was being a little conservative in my estimate of your tire expenses, but holy moley.

I agree though with J and you though that your car is best classed than ever, so now is the time to got for a trophy at Nats. Next year you can get an S and spend your tire allowance on some high dollar shocks

Anthony. About time!!!!!!

You are the only person I know who waits until after the season to begin projects that you were ready to do in December

I hope you do well with the new suspension... But not too well

Did we just get The Jadrice to post on our humble local thread?

We need to keep writing controversial things or whatever we did

Good Luck J. We will be in for a real show watching BS.

You had to give Mike a reason to keep that Nissan, didn't you I thought I had him turning the corner on the S...

LOL, I do lurk around a bit to kwwp an eye on how you guys are progressing in BS and STR. After this year, Marc P and I will be co-driving CR #2 that is currently getting prepped in STR, so it behooves me to keep tab in anything STR related


I'm looking forward to the DC Pro..... I only ran that site way back in 2004 in my first STI, and god I stunk...LOL. Making a Divisional my third event was the most rewarding thing I ever done for driver development. I kind of miss you guys up North, so it will be nice to be back and spend the weekend up there. I will be arriving on Thursday night and staying tat the Hampton Inn. If you guys know anywhere that is cool to hang out on a Thursday night, I'm all ears. Something like a nice Lounge/jazz spot.

I'll do some research on local spots. Please feel free to chime in if anyone else has suggestions.

Also, Jadrice, the 370z isn't eligible for BSP...they are still in the evo death class.

Ah, well, I think the class is very well balanced with the current crop of allowable cars.

I still want to see someone build a Z32 for BSP. They will lose - badly, but it would be interesting to watch.

Indeed. If the proposal went through to move the NA and TT to the same line in BSP, I'm confident a slicktop Z32 would become the car to have in BSP. The TT has a several hundred-lb disadvantage though.

I had a NA slicktop last year and often daydreamed about this. Then I would wake up and realize I didn't have the time or energy or tire budget to deal with such a machine. Also, the proposal never went through, and I got smart and bought an S2K

I can't wait for may 6th I'm hoping I'll be a better driver by then. Finally feeling at home with these tires. I got one More BMW event till then and one of my best friends will be there for support and data logging! I just got To get this arm in tomorrow or wednesday and figure out how much alignment I can get out of this thing. I think my bushings are worn beyond belief. I don't understand how event 1 in BMW I was able to pull -2.8 camber in the rear with -2.2 in the front. Yet the Pratice I couldn't get more than -2.2 even in the rear and -2.0 for the front!!! Wtf is going on!
