Falsehood. There's no magic here. They just do. I thought my MY06 wouldn't ever starve becasue I actually ran it out of gas on a TNT course. I mean, ran it out of gas. Turns out, there were just no long left handers.

I have not seen anything on fast track recently, but have there been any further updates concerning ECUs/tuning for next year?

I'm pretty sure you and I are in the same boat 762... both in the odd years out (04'-05').... *sigh*...

I can't think of any reason why someone would oppose the rule change... I really hope it goes through so I can get that last little bit of "dah juice."

It is sad how long they are taking on the ecu rule. I submitted it when the class was first announced. I had an emanage ultimate on a 06 which I had spent good money to have setup and tuned.
I had to swap to a flash pro to be legal. Lets just say the end result is the same but I had to pay dues to be legal..

It really sucks for everyone else though. I feel tuning the s2k fixes one of its major faults. VTEC should not be detectible if the car is tuned properly. Plus honda really screwed up the timing maps on the low cam. I have seen as much as 30% more torque on the 04-05s making it possible to leave it in second where ap1s have to downshift.

I guess if you can re-flash already you might be against it, but yeah with out it there is a two tiered class. I guess I'll go ahead and write another letter the the SEB just to remind them again. I would encourage others to do the same.

haha man thats the biggest lot we have locally. Watch a few of my other videos and you'll see how small some of them really are. I watch some videos on here and I swear they are top of second the whole course and it last 55-60 seconds. This lot is the KYR region which is the home region for Marc P. (last years b-stock champ) I run both kyr and ckr. Our ckr lots are tiny tiny. I was on 1 re01 and 3 rs-3s for this race, plus it was wet. My driving is usually alot better then whats show-cased in this video. If you want a big lot go to the Blythville, AR national race, It's huge! Almost over a mile long.

Kind of a disappointing course. Sorry Josh ... I will be designing the next one You did better than we did in Blytheville, at least your car still drives. I prefer running the RS3s over A6s on this particular lot because it eats up the Hoosiers really fast. Its very similar to the surface a Hartland Park Topeka (for those that remember).

thats what dave told me man, very sad, Thank god you trailered it! I'm sure it will have a new diff in it this week. If I can make it to that one, that'd be great but well have to wait and see. this is the second race in a roll I'm showed up, scratched timed every one in my class and then not won because of coning out. I guess I really earned my cone head of the year trophy last year. The issue I'm having (other then being wet and one odd tire) is the fact that my timing is off on transitions. I'm used to it transitioning faster and with the softer bar setting it's "different" Alinment this week (I might have to come to louisville to get it done because I dont want any joe doing it), take out the rear camber back to 2.5 and such. the car should be alot better next race. I'm looking forward to the blythville race in 2 months, hopfully the car is "sorted" by then.

ps- sorry guys for turning this thread into my facebook page haha. happy motoring! Anyone wanna give tips on settling down the rear without creating push? I think once I make my alinment changes it will be "all good" but I like hearing people input also.
