The only real comment I have so far is the RS3 put down power better than any of the ST tires I've run so far including the 225 Rival and Dunlop(Rivals suck with longitudinal traction).

Hopefully this translates well to next weeks ProSolo.

You should skip the Pro and run Thunder Hill.

TH, BW and Portland. Done, and you are ready for the Runoffs.

I would skip to local source at this point. Contact the Natl office and let them know you want to race.

I don't remember her name but I think it was Terry.

She felt that my previous experience mostly doesn't count, and that Bill has the final call.

Yeah its been a pretty frustrating experience.

Crazy. We have never had that experience.

Hard to believe after three SCCA races, and past experience, there would be any question.

Funny enough if I got my novice permit in January I'd be good, but since they changed the requirement Jan 31 I'm not.

We are caught in limbo with Jennifer's license as well... She started the process in 2012, but only ran one weekend. Had she done a second she would have a full Majors license now, instead she needs two more weekends due to the new rules. And she had a prior license in the 90s.

They are working on it. I just have to send them the log book - which I should have sent in back in 2012.

To get this back on track, I'm loving the Hankooks so far. I like the fact the edge is so easy to find, that's something I've been hating with the Rivals I could never find the edge.

hankooks!! yay.

Im tempted to pick up some Toyo R1Rs in a 205/45-16 off a member of Cal Club. But, they're not the magic 195s :(

the pixie dust R1R are no more. The last ones sold from a vendor was back in Oct. I remember reading an article about that back in december. Then had a talk with a few people at Dixie National tour. They were saying the same thing.

most drivers in The Prosolo and National Tours don't run Hankooks this year because they dropped out of the contingency program. They are suppose to come back but later on this year..
