Wait for an official proposal from the STAC, then write it in with support or better ideas.
Something will be coming on the subject. Don't worry. We have the verbiage 90% done but there is a lot more work to be done with other subjects that will be proposed alongside.

After being barraged by peer pressure in Lincoln, I decided to join the ranks of STR...
... for a day.
This thoroughly prepped car is equipped with an extensive list of go-fast mods:
- 215/245 Bridgestone RE-01Rs
- Alignment of unknown parameters
Sounds like a recipe for a stable, grippy car that couldn't possibly get smoked by an ST Civic... right?

I think VTAK was slowing me down... yeah, that must be it.
[/sarcasm]
I had tons of fun sliding around for a day.

You desperately need a big front swaybar! Steering inputs that aggressive with this car make it fun!
My '05 AP2 acted the same way. Any other mods to this car? Alignment, etc.?

Good to see you still have the car
I'll have to make the drive out there at some point, haven't seen you in a while.

I just watched the video -- that was pretty ugly, dude.
The all-season fronts were replaced with OEM fronts before too long. Then I ran at Thunderhill with the original rear tires heat-cycled out. That was interesting, too.
Marc, yeah a big front bar and some shocks would go a long way. The car's all stock though and I have no plans to prep it for a class right now. If it was a CR I'd probably have to go run BS I think.
Hey Mac! Long time!
