Hello - first time autoxer here. Also new to NCC so thx for the invite to the event; should be fun. I registered and guessed I'd be in T1 class and not sure when the AM session would start and finish? I have a few mods on my s54 including dinan struts, sway bars, CAI and software that I'm pretty sure keep me out of showroom class. Thanks Rob.
Get there around 7:45 or 8am. First car off is around 9:30, am session should be done by noon. There will be a novice course walk guided by an instructor for anyone who wants it and I would reccomend you ask for an experienced a-xer to ride with you. Have Fun!
Why so much hate? If you hate SM, you're going to loathe FSP. Pretty sure there is only one car competitive-ish in that class in the area and it is a dying class nationally too.

Mainly because it's a catch class that folks (much like myself), wind up falling into. I dont have any ill feelings about SM or the folks in it. If I hate anything it's my own car, not the class it's in.Quote:

You are a hateful person ... and 100% full of rage!Quote:

Hmm, perhaps hate was a bit strong.
I have met you before at SCCA events, where you also told me you didn't like running in SM. I did not take it personally, nor did I think you didn't like the people in the class. Just thought your desire to "bid good day" to SM probably also suggested you no longer wanted to be in the class. Sometimes a bit of humor doesn't transfer over teh internets very well. See ya at FedEx on the 15th.
Ah, I gotcha. No, any disdain I have is all pointed to my vehicle. My car is not built for, nor strong for SM, this is why I cannot wait to tear down the car during the winter and rebuild for FSP. If I had something with a lot more HP, it'd be a different story all together.Quote:

Every time I read something like this I remember a TV ad from a few years ago where a customer calls the shop about his car, the manager says he has 3 of his best guys on it, they cut to scene of three greasy fat guys sitting on the hood of a car eating lunch.Quote:
