There is a slim chance I met that guy at a Giant Stadium autocross this year, I think his name is Rob. He showed up the first time with a black 4th gen then again with a gold 2nd gen, missing a lug nut due to a cross threaded stud. I noticed a few "various overlays/emblems" he got off of eBay. He didn't seem very argumentative in person.
But I have to say demodding a car doesn't make much sense either. Thats why I'm stuck autocrossing in CP instead of a lesser class. Ehh, you make your bed yada yada. That's the problem some people have with organized racing, the organization. Put them in an open class and they complain since they haven't spent enough money to be competitive. With drag racing you have a universal standard, best number wins, do whatever you want to get there. Swap over to something with rules and they have issues. |

They refuse to accept any kind of rule set, and have no respect for those who do follow rules. |

I tried. We'll see where that goes.
Sounds like he's upset that he can't afford to go racing. It happens. |

Dear Glen,
as far as the LS1TECH thread, some people just won't get it. Now you did mention over there that you went 55 sessions with 2 sets of brake pads. Is this a typo? If not what do you use? My brake pad buget is killing me. I can't get pads to last more than 2 weekends, I tryed HT-10's, HP+, OEM Raybestos, OEM performance friction, and other part store brands. |

Glenn, again, thanks for explaining the rules. I should've asked it over here, as it kinda got lost in that thread.

Nah, just the un-enlightened (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And after reading Glenn's post above, HOLY CRAP, hopefully I get the same wear out of the XP10s I've got sitting on the shelf.

I can never find that "3" key (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) can we get Carbotech's from Porterfield with the NASA discount? |

Contact Tony G over on the CMC forum and order them directly from him. no way to get them cheaper. they did step up and become a sponsor for Nationals this past year.
i do not think they are part of Porterfield. fronts are like $160 and the rear XP8's are like $110. i just installed my 2nd set of rears the week after Nationals (9-17-06) and my 3rd set of fronts back in Aug this year. car started w/ new front and rear pads in March '05. |
