It's tempting, but not sure I want to drive all the way out there to only make fun runs. I don't have any 200TW tires that fit.

That's the same weekend as CAM East! So I'll be driving within a few miles of it on my way to Grissom aeroplex!

My street tires are 160 treadwear. I was looking for a second set of wheels and some tires for them, but honestly, I think I might just buy another set of the same and run in the fun run class. I haven't been on an autocross course in about 9 years, so I'm not going to be in contention for anything in a 3900 lb convertible with stock HP anyway. Still sounds like a good time! |

Yeah it's still a ways off so who knows. If things go well I might order a second set of 18x12s which I need anyway, but then tires are a tough pill to swallow. And at that point, I would probably rather be at Grissom that weekend.

Thanks for the share Kevin! It should be a fun event.
We wanted to do a pro-tour style event closer to home and hoping to hit some of the eastern people that aren't always able to travel towards the south or west. The 200TW rule is tricky but is now a standard for the pro-touring events. With out them, yes.. your runs would be counted as fun runs but you still get a pile runs and the winners get plaques, no big pay outs. If you've never done an event with Bill Howell and American Street Car it is a lot of fun. You will get as many runs as you can handle and have a blast doing it. It's a fun environment, good people, free food and no course working! Sunday there is an SCCA event at the same location so anyone is welcome to stick around and run that as well. We appreciate anyone that can make it out. We are really looking forward to it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Ryan |

The SCCA-CPR online reg isn't open yet but our schedule is online. We'll have it opened soon for Aug 13 (PS I live in State College /CPR region).

We will be at the airport meeting next week as well to get confirmation of use. You guys should run the UMI 2 day as well... it should be a great time! |

I'm sure we can find plenty of cars to stuff you in for a few laps. The UMI crew are a lot of fun to hang out with and this should be a great time. I may have to hit a local event to shake off the cobwebs, but I'm really looking forward to this one. |
