"Remember, all you straight-pipers, if you ditched your catalytic converter that's 25 pts!" ...... YEAH! That's right! Cheeters! (Look at John coming out with the random out-of-nowhere attack. You can tell he's just sitting at his desk fuming all day over mods and gaining competitive advantage.)

Next year will be way more competitive. So even the small-time 3pt cheating I did this year, that Doug will obviously never let me forget, won't be allowed....uh,...unless you guys let me.

Also, remember that each day at each event counts as a stand-alone S2000 Challenge. So if Rhoads or Keeney show up for only one day next year and kick everyone's ass that day, they have full-scale smack talking rights. Granted, we can say, "yeah well I woulda beat you at Spring Mt.," but that's a woulda and wouldas aren't worth much. So we must be vigilant against these marauding cross dressers and beat the knickers off them.

Did you mean to say Michelin Pilot Sport "Cup" which is a different tire from Michelin Pilot Sport.

Yes, thanks for the clarification. I meant Micheline Pilot Sport Cup, I just didn't know the full name of the tire. But you're free to run Pilot Sports if you want .

OK, I got one... how many points are counted toward modification of the rear bumper similar to the Spoon car?

I don't see any reason to add points for that. Anyone else?

I dunno, it looks like part of some sort of rear body undertray/diffuser package to me. While not as potentially effective as a wing (IMHO), things like this, when done right, help reduce drag and can provide some downforce.

If a rear wing is 20 and a front spoiler thingy 10, I say 15 points for a "rear body undertray/diffuser package", which would allow modification to the rear bumper as in the picture, and any sort of aero gadgety under the car extending forward as far as the rear axle. I get the feeling most people aren't going to be willing to hack up their bumpers like this.

It doesn't look like there's an undertray or diffuser on the Spoon car, just openings on the rear bumper.
