That the S2k was bumped up? Or was it competitive before?

I'd say yes, but I'm still on the fence as whether or not it is the car to have for the class. I've done a couple events with national level drivers driving an odd assortment of BS cars and the competetion is pretty stiff. In all honestly I thought I was going to walk all over some of the people that have been fast and beat me so far this year, I'm sure alot of it is due to their superior driving but I did not expect some of these older cars to still be so competetive.

I'm not confident of a "yes" until Nationals in September, not sure I'll get to run a 968 before then. Also figuring I'll get my rear end handed to me in Atlanta by Carter!

There is no way Carter is beating me in my own car

Good to know. I don't really plan on being competitive. I won't even be able to run a full season for the next couple of years because of my job. But I would like to be able to have some fun and try and be competitive once I get used to the car after a season or so.

You have to show up first.

Well at the Atlanta Pro this weekend. The Strano MR2 turbo destroyed the competition
He was pulling 1.7-1.9 60ft. While the best I could manage out of the Z was a 2.2-2.3
The race was over at the 60ft mark.

Everyone knew the Mr2 turbo would lead the class in the prosolo because its a launch machine.

Other cars there, Keith Casey had his new RX-8 out. I've got to say that car has alot of potential. He was running stock shocks because the Konis are just now being shipped for that car. He was only .02 behind me.

If I could choose any car to drive at the national championships this year I would choose the Z right now, but there is a long time till then and some the more rare cars may get really fast. I genuinely hope either the RX-8 or the 350z is the car to have. It is very hard to find a mr2 turbo or old porsche in good condition. I've been looking. If that happens it will make B stock alot less accessible.
