... I realize I'm taking the foolish approach by deciding to campaign my "new" 2001 Z28 in FS. Especially because the 2014 FS National Champion not only lives and competes in my region, but he is a friend of ours. Oh, and his new 1LE is spectacular!
However, the car I bought has the DA Konis and Strano front bar already. I'm having a hard time deciding on tires for the OEM 16x8 wheels. I know the new allowance will permit a 17x8. Should I be looking down that road? Then I have also heard through the grapevine that someone (Casey something?) ran the SS 17x9 wheels on a non-SS car that didn't have the full SS update/backdate package and he wasn't protested. Which wheel/tire route do those of you in the know suggest for an F Street Category effort? So you know the (probable lack of) seriousness of my effort: I can't make Nationals due to the fact I'm a full-time teacher and part-time Principal in NJ, and the big event has taken place on my first week of school all but one of the 17 years I have been an educator. I run one, maybe two National events a year (Tours or Pros). Otherwise, I am blessed with fantastic local competition that would rival national events in other parts of the country. Any input is greatly appreciated. |

I say just run whatever class you like and HAVE FUN ! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ... maybe a mildly modified ESP car fits better in your region ???
