Not sure if any of you are interested (I might go, maybe), but Patrick brought it up to my attention:

Lead follow is going to get boring after the first lap.

So added a oem style spoiler this week. Simple yet satisfying. Also rearranged and cleaned up the Garage. Now I just need some weekend time so I can go racing.

That would be me.
Maybe leave it with Eric and I can swing by and get Eric, Brandon and your's at the same time. Next week or two is fine, no big rush.

It's literally just an all comers no restriction class (other than tires) x class is open to all cars of any displacement or induction with street tires 140 or over and xr is the same but for r comp tires.

I see it as a way to get the Z guys competing directly with the S2000 guys. I, however, will stick with our old class.

Scott - do you have your spacers on in those pics?

Since when do you have Z1SS's, Scott?

I need to get rid of some of my tires but still haven't been able to burn off my old R-S3s even with all the drifting, lol.

-------------

I don't know anything about the X and XR classes but it sounds like the Street Tire class with SCCA. Is there a PAX-like system or is it just raw times? If the latter, then no thanks...

fark me just spent $500 to get 4 tires. The best deal I could find and I search all over the web like hard core. I ended up with sears who has buy 3 get 1 free with good year. You don't have to get them installed so you can just mix and match any 4 tires that qualify and just pick up in store to skip on shipping. You get additional $35 off on top and I had $12 in free points from sears that was just added to my account but expired by 2/2/2013. I was able to stack all promotions and skip out on shipping or installation. I will just find some local shop that will do the install for like $10-$15 each. I plan to call discount tire and get them to match everything and beat it so I can just have it all done this saturday. GAWD I LOVE AMERICA'S PRICE MATCH POLICY.

Edit: Don't forget cashback on top. I am using mr rebates or ebates for 6% and then referral on top. You can also do shopdiscover 5%, chase freedom 5%

codes:

Online Only-$35 off automotive orders of $350 or more with promo code AUTO35. Items Sold by Sears. Offer ends 02-Feb-2013 See details.

Online Only! Buy 3 tires get 1 FREE on select Goodyear Tires Sold by Sears. Coupon code GYTB3G1. Offer ends 02-Feb-2013 See details.
