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

Lame. Did you talk to Terry?

xnamerxx · 04-02-2014, 04:22 PM

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.

Tell them me too!

justjesus · 04-04-2014, 01:25 PM

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.

aw man. bummer. thanks for that info, though.

ilikerice · 04-04-2014, 02:50 PM

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..

So who is Travis Sackwar and Alvin Francisco running a White Yaris that placed 1st and 2nd in San Diego Champ Tour on the first day?

Alvin owns the car and Travis is his codrive.

Alvins not much of a forum guy, so I don't think he'll pop up here.

Car is pretty simply, hes running a 21mm rear bar, and fortune coilovers, and a muffler delete. He's also running Federal 595 RSR tires.

Like I like Rice said, they're cheap. I have them on my CRX, and have done some autoX as well as a couple of track days. I like them just fine. For the price, I LOVE them.

Somebody at my skill level (bottom of the STC class) might be better off saving money with these, while improving my skill, before stepping up to the more expensive tires.

The other side of that coin, is to get what I know works, and I already have a benchmark (the other STC guys in my class) and can continue to improve my driving. With the R1Rs, on my Civic, I know my car has alot more than I can give it (my co-drive took 3rd in a Pro-Solo).

Day 1 of the ProSolo is starting very excited to be teaching against some fierce competition.

Bad news though the tckline mini sounds like it has a rod knock I really hope I'm wrong about that.

Congrats to Travis and Alvin for the 1-2 finish in STF :)

Congrats indeed.

I was a bit surprised to see Don Green in STF. Co drive with J. Austen, it appears. Don is a pretty decent driver who's had very good results in Stock with the Mini (not sure if it was Austen's or not) over the years.

But cool deal with Travis / Alvin representing the Yaris in STF!

I'm tempted to visit the Pro Solo coming up!!
