Mike did you honestly expect the results to be any different? Can't f@#k with the S2000 I warned you.



Nice .666 lead Robert! Keep up the good work man!

I was talking more about the other classes...

I have never in my entire life seen an STU car out raw time SS in the dry at a national tour, where anyone worth while showed up. I'm not any more or less worried about the s2k than I ever was. We'll see how it plays out.

Mike the driver of the STU car was Ken Motonishi, you may not been around a couple years ago when he won STR in a miata by .5 seconds or so and all US S2000 drivers freaked out. He's a fully sponsored, paid driver from my understanding. Seems crazy he beat SS and was on street tires but the guy is very fast non the less.

I thought you were talking about BSP, I was going to say, Robert had like 1:1 odds on winning. I can't wait for the robert/Marc show down! Athough Robert is more prepped then Marc will be!


Look at STR right now, this guy Matt threw down a fast run! almost 2 seconds faster then our boy Rob R. #TeamRR #AP1Love

I know who Ken it is, but it doesn't matter...STU has no business beating SS in the dry...

Looks like Ken's 53.5 had a cone...so technically Thomason did finish ahead....my mistake.

Cut back on rear rebound?

^I would agree. Unless he doesn't have sufficient travel? I know he mentioned his shocks are super short. Add a little bump up front and drop rear rebound a bit...find a balance.

Can't fix it with shock, even so running very little rear rebound and car is very well balanced. Must be length, didn't think it would be rolling that much, but it must be ever so slightly past the length limit now. I will space the shock down half an inch and move the perch to re match ride height. Will see if it is better. Past that and the spring will be completely unloaded and the small miata bar will hold the inside wheel up. Then I will have to go drastic with a hundred pound secondary spring to take over lol.
