Here some runs from sunday's event. First of the season.
friend let me borrow his Hero3. Finally got some video. I was running Azenis 615k with less than 2/32 tread on them. pretty bald honestly and it was 50 degrees and windy.. Came in 5th overall pax out of about 60

in order from run 2-6. Forgot to turn the camera on the first run.. derp

Got sideways in the lane changes.. I blame the cold tires.

Looks like STF just made a class at the SD tour

racerb · 03-05-2013, 08:51 PM

Thats cool, are you signed up to run??

xnamerxx · 03-06-2013, 07:39 PM

Yep, lucky number 96 ;)

Its actually a pretty diverse group of cars, and having not seen any other competition, aside from the Mazda 3 that likes to beat up on me

, its pretty refreshing.

Here's the entry list so far

8 Colgett, Tyler 2008 Honda Fit
39 Bucknell, Daniel 2007 Toyota Corolla S
135 Coe, Steve 2005 Mazda 3
196 Beyer, Bobby 2008 Toyota Yaris
6 Johnston, Kim 2004 Mini Cooper Good Doggy Phoenix, AZ

hmmm. tempting.

i've always wanted to race against a Fit !! (For the last 4 years).

Do you have an avail seat? (well, depending on how well I do on Sunday!)

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 04:52 PM

I've got a seat available if you'd like. Just make sure to sign up for all available contingencies which I think is pretty much Toyo.

justjesus · 03-07-2013, 05:43 PM

cool :)

I think I like the Kumho deal the best. TRD doesn't recognize STF on the Pro Solo circuit. That's sad.

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 06:09 PM

LOL, make sure you bring your Kuhmos than

STF isn't technically a class in Prosolo its called S3 or something like that, but the contingency is still there.

justjesus · 03-07-2013, 06:12 PM

LOL, ok wise guy.

If Lt Noogie wasn't MIA, we could borrow his!

NJ Drive · 03-07-2013, 07:38 PM

Need to raise the front, lower the rear. Sure looks pretty.

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 07:56 PM

Nice, what did you end up doing for springs and shocks?

Still on Tokico HTS but with custom springs and Cusco tops.

racerb · 03-07-2013, 08:10 PM

Very nice!!

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 08:31 PM

what spring rates did you end up going with? if you don't want to tell everyone you can pm me, i won't tell.

NJ Drive · 03-07-2013, 09:17 PM

380f/330r.
Not optimal, but it's all I have to work with right now.

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 09:32 PM

Out of curiosity why did you bias the springs frontward?

I was intending on losing the front sway bar.

xnamerxx · 03-07-2013, 09:46 PM

Ahh, makes sense.

Let me know how that works out for you, I never liked the way the car felt, running no front bar, so I decided not to pursue it.
