Our "big" events in the Northeast are in the first half and I want to win. I'm most concerned about the torque disadvantage for the prosolos and it looks like we'll have two local ProSolos next season.

It's true. Most likely a new site for the D.C. Pro also.

Well today just got awesome. My e-brake will get lonely though if we're not in the same lot at DC...

I believe the current plan is a pro at DC and at the meadowlands.

The potential new site. It is dependent on a bunch of factors. It would be very early in the year again.

In that case I'll just resurface my AP1 fly. It's light enough. Thanks.
You should get a lighter flywheel & sell me your AP1 FW.
I might actually do that. But I don't think I'll go lower than 11 lbs. I also really wish I didn't have to ditch my F20C. I feel really bad pulling out a perfectly good engine out of my car. Oh well.

I would focus on the other stuff before switching out motors. The 2.0 isnt that weak. Both motors still bog with race rubber and spin on slick/cold surfaces ... then its all driver. I have launched against enough AP1s to know there is little visual difference. The only factor is how each car will reach to BSP trim?

That was probably my worst event of the whole year. BSP only ran on Saturday. I can't find the results, but probably 2-3s or so on Saturday. I was 7.5s quicker than Steve (driving Jon's STR car) in total time at Nationals.

I think the better news for next year (for us east coasters) is the fact that Cincy region secured a LARGE concrete site for a tour next year.
