(2010) SCCA Practice AX March 28 - Registration Open Until Wednesday Night

[joenationwide]

I'm doing the season plan with SCCA but will be out of town for the practice day. Big Miata get-together in Myrtle Beach this weekend.

From the looks of things, just breaking into the top ten of a very top-heavy STS class might be the only realistic goal for me.

Yeah, STS has 6 committee members I think, plus a lot of veterans. The good news is, with that level of competition you'll get fast quick. Mike Neary helped me get fast in STU with my E36 M3, enough to where I could compete on the same level. I'll be in STS this year in my red Miata. Feel free to come by and ask questions to me or any of the guys in the class. We are always willing to help people get just fast enough, but once you start beating us youre on your own!

I wanted to do this one, but I'll be out of town. I've never done an SCCA event, or any event at Fedex. You guys think I'd get destroyed in SCCA BSP? J/K, I already know.

Can you show me how to get fast in STU? I still think my car is hopeless in the class. Of course last time I said that Clint Boyd took 1st in an e46 m3 and put me to shame. I think I was 10th out of 15.

Yeah sure! The E46 M3 can be fast in STU. Brian Hair was in the trophies when he borrowed Nick's E46 M3. All you need is suspension, good alignment, and some 275 or 285/35/18s. Removing some weight will help a lot as well. Should be able to remove 200lbs pretty easily. You can PM me if you want to discuss more. Or hit me up on bf.c under the same name joenationwide.

Why BSP? What keeps you out of STU? You could do well at SCCA events based on your driving Saturday.

Steering wheel. I removed the airbag wheel to extend the steering column. That's it, and I don't have a choice.

pshhh. Don't worry about it. Its not like you're running a National Tour.

Well OK then. I've heard the same (sort of) from Woody. STU it is.

Yeah generally within regional compeition, something like that dosen't matter very much. Especially if you make it aware to the others in the class. Now if you start winning, they might give you a hard time but probably not a big deal.

I'm going to take you up on that. I'm running number 142 in BS, blue E46 M3. I'll be bugging you and AJ so be warned.
