You're not alone they seem to be more centered around social media more than standard web.

I think it's mostly just a CA series. But appariently guys from all over the nation compete from what I've read and seen.

Which events?

I'm thinking about going to the warm up event on the 22nd... want to run bone stock, maybe install b14's and just see where I stack up against the rest of the field.

I noticed it seems most guys are fairly close to stock config. Mostly just breather mods, coils and some wheels and tires. Only a few seem to be full built track monsters.


But since I haven't gotten around to picking up better wheels and tires yet, I kind of feel it would be a waste to try and run on my current worn and cracked stock tire set up.

I'm set on figuring out why it does it as is.. That's kind of why I bought this car wrecked. I enjoy chasing down and the satisfaction of solving simple problems that give you the most head ache.

I'm sure is a simple dam fix I just gatta find out why/where. I feel like the lock mechanism might not be coding all the way. I find it hard to believe wind is unlatching the closed mechanism.

Especially if the back up catch is stopping it. Which is even more vulnerable to unlatching under load.
