With this event so close to home, and nothing on the schedule, we are thinking about bring the Prod car out... So, do we put R comp tires on it and run CSM with Garm (?), or run the slicks in EP?

I guess so.

We did get to do a few laps on an autox course with it... The 13" slicks are a little to hard to be competitive for Solo, they need too much heat. But the gearing, and lower ride height has benefits over running a set of 15" DOT Rs.

I'll be running with CSM (using the A6 tires). If I can get some X runs, you are welcome to take a pass if you like.

Just got the word that the Yaris goes in tomorrow for a new set of cams... I don't know if we will get it back in time for a retune before the autox.

Sorry guys, have to opt-out on account of the incoming heavy rain and "radiation". Gettin' pretty damn sick of this weather always ruining my fun...

However! I will be hosting a similar meet in a couple weeks from now for those of us who can't remember the last time we ran:
