....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...

Yeah, you spoke with Dennis H (who I'm co-driving with) on the phone a couple months ago when he was planning on getting a 370. I hear ya about the AST's, but they really sound like they'll be the best bet if you can get them to build them. I hope you can figure something out soon, maybe start watching for a Z that wrecked on one side, and get one good front and rear shock? Or I guess watch the forums for a set, buy em, measure them, and the re-sell. Pain the ***, but possibly worth it in the long run.

I'm going through an employment change, un-employed to start 2010, so we'll talk as the year progresses for a possible co-drive down the line. Thanks!

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
