Went to the SCCA test and tune today. $40 to run all day 8 to 4. Everyone has to work 1 one hour shift on the course as a corner worker. It was a freaking blast. I learned more about driving today than I have since I got my license. Honestly this was waaaay more fun than drag racing and I love drag racing. Its much more involving when you have to turn, brake, and throttle around the corners.
Seriously, you guys HAVE to give this a try.

You gotta go Reid. The Cobra should be pretty kick ass with the irs. Plus I was the only Mustang out there. There was a guy in a camaro but that was it for domestics (he was f*@#ing fast though). The course was pretty challenging but mostly first gear. By the end of the day I was going fast enough to hit the limiter but I think most v8s do the course in first gear. There were quite a few AWD and FWD cars that were faster than me but I think RWD is the most fun; especially with rear kicked way out of line (slower but fun as hell).

nate, a guy at my work by the name of gary kitagawa does those scca events. i have a couple more suspension parts to put on before i start making it to those events, solid axle sucks during turns.. i've seen that black camaro and he drives pretty damn fast. a lot of guys on PCH do scca.

Keith, You gotta go and represent. I was the only Mustang and I suck. Live axle may not be ideal but John with the black camaro was right near the top of the timesheet. Slow or not its fun as hell. My best time I think was 37.2 (started in the 45s  ). My friend with a stock s2000 did 34.5. I think the camaro was somewhere in the 32s and was flat out awesome to watch. |

yeah, i'll make it out there just need the torque arm and pan hard bar to locate that rear end to keep it from dancing back there. i should just try it anyways to see what it does.
i've seen a couple vids on PCH and his car was on there and he just hauls ass through the cones.
