Which Pro were you at this year?
Almost missed your question hah I was at the New Jersey Pro Solo at Metlife Stadium. Got my *** handed to me, but I'm a n00b on a car that's not nearly built to the max for it's class yet. I was also on extremely old Hoosier A6's. Since then I got myself an OS Giken limited slip and extra set of rear 19x10 rays. This year I'll be running 295/30r19 R888's square. I know it's not the best autox tire but I did fairly well locally on NT01's and got a good deal on them. The year after I'll probably move to Hoosiers again, but brand new this time.

As for coils I think I've decided to give the new BC DR line a try. I can get custom Swift springs and valving with a digressive shock and better tophats than I have now. It may not be anywhere near AST/Moton/Penske etc but I can't drop that kind of money and this should do MUCH better than softer KW V3's for the time being. Plus I can sell the V3's and pretty much break even on the BC DR's. Anyone have any thoughts on that? I know it's not ideal, and a lot of track guys look down on BC. Just curious.
