Thanks for the comments and great attendance that evening.

Huge thanks to Eric and all who participated. Glad we got some questions answered.

Time to rally and pool all our SCG efforts for placing in each class!

Research paper should be on "How to Auto X" Yes at the least try to stop by and check it out..The sport needs all the support it can get..cause once you do have the time, hopefully it will still be there for you to enjoy...

that seems like a good research paper tongue

clayton brought up a topic in class this one day, but the teacher was like NO haha.
his topic was
" Subaru vs Mitsubishi " haha

that's what we're gonna plan and do with all these Auto x races.. bring the Mitsu vs Subbie drama back. that way all other Auto X racers will talk about getting either a Mitsu or a Subbie. That will bring more members for both parties and revenue to the dealerships. whoever will buy the Mitsubishi Franchise lol. Dam somebody please pick up the ball from Triple J!! *ahem prestige*

Nice!

a little competitiveness helps increase membership to both parties. There were a couple Mitsubishis at autox yesterday which is always nice to see.

Yo SCG, what an event huh? It was good to see such a strong SCG turn out. We placed in a few classes and everyone did good. To me what was most important was us getting out there to support Jay and SCCA, and showing everyone else what a strong, together, humble car club can do. Our group stuck out, we stayed together and had fun, no drama..god job. Some more practice and we'll be fine. There was some talk about track car versus all day everyday daily drivers...maybe I'll start a post on that so everyone can chime in with their ideas. Anyhow good event, good job...shooto pig

you better be on the next race iron chef we dont need you cheering anymore. lol!

cabrez99 Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:16 am

D, you don't need tires right now, you already have some on your wheels. Just race and accumilate some points and join us. after all it's the big race, you don't wanna sit this one out because of tires. Do it for the support and for fun, like they always say, build driving experience before upgrading. cheers

ceo1 Tue Sep 15, 2009 11:06 am

I'd love to Darrell but here's the dilemma. I have my 18" Rota's which have Nankangs, I don't mind using these tires because I have already used em. Problem is it will place me in ST because of it.

My stock rims are fitted with Nankangs as well. They are almost brand new so I plan to sell them to partially fund my new tires. If I race em, they will not be worth as much as now, especially since they wear real fast.

Finally, if I do join in ST class, and use up the Nankangs on the Rota's I will need new tires by the end of the season (cruising tires). This will cost me double since I will still get tires for my stocks (race tires). Basically, my funds are pretty dry so this is not a great option.

So, does anyone wanna donate funds for tires? I love you

Hehehe...

dhonn17 Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:30 pm

can we still join even though we missed the 1st race??? Question

gonzosti Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:34 pm

D...Not really sure whats going on with the classes, but when they teched Eric and Rex, they were put in ST class, Eric was told because of Turbo and Rex because of tires...but if you look at the results..they were ranked in Stock class. So not to sure if results were typo (need to confirm with Jay). I say run with the 18's already used and dont worry bout class...Just race to beat the top time and have some fun with that WRX...eventually we will upgrade and end up in SM..but for now at least push your WRX in stock trim, at least you will notice the difference when you do upgrade....Just my 2 cents....

No worries if you couldnt make it (we all have our priorities)...please do try for the upcoming races (4 left)..we need your support, the more people the better for the sport...Your helmet should fit snug and not loose..you do not want it shifting on your head and blocking your vision while racing, plus the more comfortable you are the better..Squeaks are normal during braking forward or back...My brakes have a knock when braking...But if you are not sure and it dosent sound normal...have it checked.

Mmanni39 Tue Sep 15, 2009 2:30 pm

Awesome turnout SCG and congrats to Josh and Jesse, sorry I had to leave early but the commander "wife" needed me to be in place by 1700. Again thank you all for supporting SCG and GRSCCA had a lot of fun and looking forward for the following Sunday.

Only the STI is automatically in ST. Tech people technically are not supposed to tell the owner/driver what class they would belong. This is not their responsibility the driver/owner is supposed to reasearch and know what class they fall into.

This is normal on the Brembo/STI branded Brembo equipped cars
