Don't you wish there was an ITA+ ?

Sounds like a great ride. Who cares what class it is in, drive the yellow off of it!

Cool, thanks. Do you think I'd be more competitive in CSP? OR what class do you think I'd be most competitive in?

He said without the headwork, what class would he be in. CSP is a good place for CRX's. I'd stick with that if I were you.

Cool, thanks.

What will my competition look like, and who should I watch out for?
Any suggestions or criticisms on my current setup? I'll be running azenis next season.

Miatas, CRX's, RX7's, MR2's, yada yada. If you're running Azenis you should watch out for everything on race tires, which is a lot of people in CSP.

Miatas are the killer for me... At my club they're tough to beat. But the guy who took 1st in points last year was accually in an '85 CRX DX!! He was running R Kumhos and I was on Azenis'

if you remove the decked head and run 13x8's or 9's with some wide hoosiers/kumhos you can be competitive in CSP... prettymuch...

sounds like a GREAT car!

Locally there is not much CSP competition - in terms of numbers. At the regional level there is plenty.

I would run in the F street tire class using the CSP index. It's a good place for the novice to get their feet wet. Usually the trophy count will go about 10 deep as you are running against 30 other people.

Looking forward to seeing you out there.

Hey thanks Clayton. Where's a good place to pick up literature on the classing, I'm not really familiar with the way classing works. F street tire class w/CSP index? I get kinda lost with the terminology.

The street tire index is a little difficult to explain. Go to the first event and I'll do my best to help you figure it out.
