Wait a sec.... If you read the CDC forum, Ed made a correction.

If I may point something out...
I run Toyo RA-1's. I have what is generally considered to be a very good, competition grade suspension on my car. You guys STILL kick my ass... I was dead last in 80% of all of the auto-x's last season. There were only a few where I was ahead of other S2k owners.
Like it really matters all THAT much?
I know you guys like to split hundredths of seconds but come on...
Anywho... Just my $.02

For reference, I drove Jeff's car one day at a test-n-tune back to back against my car. We have the same coilovers and similar tires (RA1's vs. NT01's). I was at about one second off my times in Jeff's car. I think the biggest difference was our alignment setting. My car has toe-in (Jeff's doesn't) and a bit more neg. camber in the rear than Jeff's, and my rear was a lot more planted than Jeff's. I found myself countersteering a lot more in Jeff's car and loosing time.
This is good information!! I need to get an alignment this season.

I wonder how hard it would be to put together a small local club. I found the timing system online for $600. Need a bunch of cones, a lot, and some insurance.
Don't get me wrong. I love CDC and I know they put in a ton of work to make everything happen. But Manassas is a huge loss to me...

You can run whatever you like. You should come out to an event this year. 
I might make it to a couple events to take pictures of fellow NERDs though.
