You already have double adjustables on your 370?

well, so much for any chance of winning a tour event next year....not looking good folks.....

looks like Daddio is gonna come out to play in CS next year. The ONLY bit of light is he's not running a 370z.....but despite whatever perceived advantage we may have over the RX8, ZOK, MSR, etc....is negated with him in the mix. He's truly is amazing...

may have to shift focus to the ProSolo series....which sucks cause there is only one event anywhere near the northeast part of the country....which of course is Daddio's back yard! Damn!

I'm still all in though, but I just increased my tire budget with no hopes of winning contingency tires

Not only him, but word on the street is Jr. Johnson (Evo school owner) will probably be in a 370Z as well. (Now the first I heard this was first hand from him at the awards banquet at Nats, but I think he was drunk

). Then you also have Beutzer in an MSR, and he'll tear it up. As well as reigning BS champ Heitkotter back, probably in his MR2.

So once again, goodluck all!

Mike "Junior" Johnson? He's a cocky SOB but I like him

Very friendly. He helped instruct at our Evo School in 2008, but I don't think he was there this past year. He's a pro with the Corvettes, would be interesting to see him in a 370Z.

yup, heard all those names as well as Isley and Fenter...

CS is looking like a very fun class to be in for sure!

That's ok...I've beaten National Champs before

....just not at Nationals

I really hope tire wear doesn't become THE issue that prevents me from getting the needed seat time. I took off last season and the one before that was fairly casual...so I need an EVO school and plenty of seat time, but can't afford to burn through tires every 20 runs...

Just bought a tow vehicle, picking up a trailer soon, and then all the car prep between now and March....maybe its time to look for a quality codriver

If I have the time and money I'd be interested in a fly and drive at an East Coast tour or Pro. Let me know. You get a deal for shocks lined up? Also, just curious, what's your name? I'm Adam Ruff.

If I don't go with a local co-driver, might be able to work something out with you for an event or two...

No shocks lined up yet...no news from Koni, so looking at trying to get some AST units....$$$$$ though, but a strong possibility. That's one of the reasons I'm trying to source some stock struts to borrow for measurements, otherwise I have to put my car up on stands, pull the struts and ship to TX...

Do any of you guys in the TX area (closer to plano the better) that have already installed coilovers, have your stock fronts struts off the car and available? If so, could you please PM me....I have a question for you...and favor.

Basically, need some stock front struts for some measurements to build some custom mounts to hold stock springs on some coilovers....

Thanks
