Anyone else out there traveling to Ft. Myers next month for the Pro Solo season opener? Krimelmeyer and I will be there. Just curious.

EC

 

I'm planning on attending both the Pro and the Tour (flying home in between). I'll be debuting my 86 Civic in Street Mod trim, and driving the car on DOTs for the first time in about 4 years. Hopefully, I'l actually have eveything finished in time for the trip.

Thinking about taking the R for the ProSolo's. Stock class. I watched them race last year...wanna participate this year. To bad I can't make the Solo2 opener the following weekend...

 

I'm thinking about making the trip for one of the weekends. Depends on my finals schedule. Probably be the Nat tour weekend though.

 

I'm pretty darn sure I'll be there for the Pro. I don't think I can make it for the NT (test and tune, ProSolo, and NT on three consecutive weekends=too much time away from the books)

I'll be there in my pimpy silver-lettered blue D Stock WRX, which I'm hoping will carry #18. The car was aligned last thursday, and actually the front camber numbers were pretty depressing. Oh well, hopefully I won't kill the shoulders on my new tires BTW, since you two know something about these things, I'll ask now... IF YOU SEE ME DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG WITH MY SUBARU, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I think the WRX's have some kind of camber bolt that's "authorized" by Subaru and is legal for stock. I know Larry Fine and Scott Evans were able to get about -1.5 degrees camber out of their cars.

My car arrived at the shop with .1 degree POSITIVE, and fiddling with the stock adjustment bolt gave us a whopping 0 degrees. Oi... I thought that the "factory hardware" people had been speaking of that gave them all that camber was already on the car and that there wasn't a "subaru-kosher" part that was available, but I suppose I was wrong in my interpretation and I will have to look into that more and see if I can fiddle with that before the Pro. Doh.

 

I'm still hemming and hawing about it. If I don't have a co-driver this year (hmph towards Lightning driving, SE-R owning redheads), I'm not sure what I'm going to do in general.

I have to talk with other F Stockers about it though. I might be able to pull something out. :sigh: I don't like owing favors though.

I'm not making the trek this year, but good luck to those of you that will be. Post all about it when you get back.

 

I'll be there for the Pro and possibly the Tour depending on who/how many DSP entries there are.

Karen check your email for a possible co-driver

Mike

 

Chris, you should get about -1 degree neg, camber minimum. Scott E's car got about -1.2 negative camber. Take it some where that does competiton alignments...

 

I'll co-drive with you mike...send me an email...!!!!
George P.

 

LOL at George.

I think I have a new term. George-aphobia: Fear of autocrossing your own car.

 

Oddly enough George, I did. Richard West has been getting his alignments done there for a long time, and has given them positive reviews. Scott E. got that amount of camber with the eccentric bolts on the car already? No Subaru-kosher part ordered and substituted?

 

Too damn far for this Yankee

 

I am willing to make that 17 hour drive to get to race in some WARM weather. It is a very nice change to break the winter up.

Hey Jeff, are you coming to the Petersburg, VA Pro this year? If so, I will see you there.

EC

 

Yeah he loosened everything up and turned the upper bolts (which are a type of cam bolt) and got close to Neg.-1 degree camber.

 

uh...no..PAt let me do the nicknames and acronyms, you stick to Karen.. Georgeophobia=hatred of driving long distances alone for fear of FALLING ASLEEP..!!!

 

I have to agree with Pat's definition.

Karen

 

(Spoken in a humorous tone of course) Karen, are you really the best person to comment on someone driving a car other than their own? (Yes I realize the Camaro has 230k miles and 9000 autocross runs or something, but it's still amusing)

 

Bwahhahaha....pretty ironic huh..?? Anyways for all you doubters, as soon as a set of wheel that fits my car are out i AM COMPETING BUT i AM not GOING TO BUY AN EXTRA SET OF HEAVY *** STOCK RIMS..!!!

 

Since Mr Moon and I are no longer co-driving, traveling 1200 miles to get beat by a bunch of WRXs is too much. Good luck Eric! Are you running with Eric K this year? I am going to cut back on Pros and try to do some tours this year. I will be at the Petersburg Pro however.

Regards,
Alan

 

Hey it's not Karen's fault that people she has never met before ask her to drive their cars.

Pat, who sometimes wishes he had thingies so he could drive Corvettes

 

yes that was pretty funny...... but i think you should console yourself by driving the lightning around. all day. no more work for you.

-R-

 

Yeah!! And if I can't bum a ride off someone else, I will drive my own car..... hey speaking of which, don't you (George) owe me (and Pat, and Scott and Wade and...) rides for all the fun runs you mooched in my car?
