I thought the course was a lot of fun while at the same time having very few DNFs and cone hits.
-
I would think that this would fall under XP. Seems like a very cool build, but a few of the mods move you out of the street car based classes, like interior removal and glass replacement.
-
Going with a shorter sidewall will result in less speed in gear (there are calculators to help on the diff) while also providing a little better acceleration.
If your car is fairly stock I wouldn't run A052s as cars without a lot of camber will wear them out pretty quickly. RE71Rs or RT660s would be a good choice.

Nice, can't wait to come check it out!

I've got a low mileage 2006 S2000 cat somewhere on one of the shelves in my garage as I've been running the Berk Hi Flow on my car since 2011. Honestly, I'd just put a Berk on there unless you need to pass CA smog for some reason.
-
I've had Cordes do some work on mine and was very happy with them. No idea if they do transmission stuff though.
-
As long as you keep the cat on you should be fine. Note that the intake you run can make a difference as well. Stock intake definitely quiets it down a bit.

Jason,
I was in my S2000, not my Vette. Please put in SPM.
-
I'd probably run something like 28psi in the front and 26psi in the rear. Max the out the front camber while you are at it.

So for those that buy tires from tirerack, since discount tire effectively owns tirerack now, they will honor just the cost of mounting, which is $22 per tire. I just paid 88 bucks today to have some kumho v730s mounted and my old rival 1.5 S's dismounted.
Good to know on Discount pricing. Also, would like to hear your thoughts on the the 730s when you get a chance.

I generally make the trip from Chandler to the Lift Shop as the price is good and they dont scratch my wheels.

I use an AntiGravity ATX30 in my S2000 and it works great.

Nice find Tom!

The course flowed really well. Really enjoyed the higher speed elements.

Just renewed to Phoenix AZ Solo
-
I prefer the Run Group selection vs forcing cars to run in the same group by class. This has been a big debate on here previously and Run Group Preference was the direction selected as drivers will just select a different class to get the group they want and that creates additional work to run the events.
Stuff sells out quickly these days, not just AZ Solo.

In the results, it shows Kate driving an STX car. She was in Ted's Lotus in DM. Can someone update the results?

If you can find a Discount Tire with a sharp manager who has consistent staff that stay long term, and you develop a relationship with ONE specific technician who knows what he's doing, yes, I've used them before. But I could not find a location with all of the above. The good guys kept leaving. And know this, not every installer knows how to use that equipment properly.
I am very careful with who touches my equipment. I have had wheels marked, as well as balanced incorrectly. Cruz essentially makes no mistakes, has been there a long time, and absolutely knows what he's doing. That's my reason for going back to him. Oh yeah, that SCCA Discount is nice too.👍
I agree with Scott on this. Cruz is not close but he does excellent work and doesn't scratch my wheels. For the Falkens on my S2000 I didn't feel like making the trip to north Phoenix and ended up with 2 of my wheels (PF01s) scratched.
-
I'd contact Pro Parts USA and get the Koni Yellows. I have used them on multiple cars and they are a good entry level shock that is adjustable.
-
It is possible that when our next Phoenix is held in September that the Covid policies will have changed. If that is the case, there are loaner helmets at no cost.
-
The courses were very large and challenging - excellent courses. If anyone is on the fence, Tours generally have some of the best courses that you can experience.
One thing to note, pretty much all street tires car were on Yokohama A052s. The only exception was DS which maybe had some leftover RE71s. So, go buy some A052s if you want to compete at a National event or you can drive like Brian.
-
Scott, if you don't know what that is you are probably not the target audience 😆
-
Could we copy over the favicon.ico so I don't have to keep looking at the Wordpress one?
-
Thanks Kenny, I will do that as I need backups as I tend to forget the markers in my car and then they dry out pretty quick.
First Full Day Event! 🎉

I think the workers that were out in the sun enjoyed the format better for sure. After 4 TO runs I felt that was a good amount from a worker standpoint and after being in the heat all day was also enough driving.
