Fyi to anyone who owns the hr coilover kit the ksport top hats fit perfectly but you'll needto swap the bearings. A good spring size is 6-7 inches 8 will fit but youll have no adjustment for lowering.

Jesus you are correct. I don't keep up to date tabs on SD unless I'm Jonesing for another hit of the ax crack pipe.
Here is the SD schedule for the rest of the year. http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedule/ |

Just an fyi if you have not run in SD before, 93db @ 50' is the sound limit, if your car is loud your event will be short lived. Make any necessary adjustments beforehand.

Garm its a good thing you didn't go today the course was AWFUL no fun at all and it ate the hell out of my tires such a waste.

Garm: hmmmm. Let me check the schedule !
Jason: Thanks for that heads up Namer: So you went to SD? Is registration similar to our Region's? WOW. I'm glad I stood in Montebello, housesitting. With the AC on ;) |

Not quite, you register onsite at SD and if your not a member of sdr you have to buy a temporary membership or a perm if you choose.
Yeah I really wished I turned around and went home, that course was sooo tight at one point I dropped down into the teens just to make a corner had to shift into 1st. The ending was unsafe so right after the finish and I mean immediately there was a hard right that if you zoned out for a second like I tend to do meant hitting the cones and ruining your run so coming to almost a complete stop was a must. Mix that in with a course that was generally just very hard to read looking ahead just showed you a sea of cones rather than which direction you actually needed to go. Add in a surface that was so dirty you couldn't get traction and 100 degree weather and that was a terrible day. I spun my car for the first time and I've owned that thing for 5 years and not only did I spin it but I spun it hard and I was on the throttle when this happened but it was due to the course being so dirty. |

Sounds like a challenging day. The Camarillo Airport autocross is wicked tight like that also. I think I've learned the most when I lost traction/control over the car.
"If you don't go over the line, you don't know where the line is" -- just a thought and a quote from someone who is faster than me.

Ignore the template I forgot to change it from the last time it was used. (Not affiliated with Black Iron Racing.)
Gives you an idea of how rough this track was. I actually messed up the camber on my passenger wheel hitting a cone at some mph. I was running positive camber on that wheel and didn't even realize it till I came home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS0B-...&feature=g-upl |
