Don't worry Steve, I'll be DFL.

If Dustin and Malia decide to play this year they are in STR also. And maybe Whitney will be tempted by all the new S2000s in the club to bring his out once and a while.

We're going to see 20+ in STR this year if we get some Triad/NCR/CCR peeps showing up.

I predict run groups/work assignments this year that consist only of STR cars due the amount of entries. :lol:

Matt, funny you should say that. Even at Nationals STR was one group... except for about 5 cars in a small ladies class. (Can't remember which one.)
So, that sounds about right. :D

That's awesome Gwen. I remember going to Dixie and having like 29 (?) in STR and thinking "good god that's unreal!" I think we only had 9 in GS and 9 again in Dover in comparison.

Big class = more competition and everyone pushes harder to improve or so it goes... We had some good turnouts last year in X Class when we had lots of hotshoe 'visitors' like at the "Battles at 8k RPM" vtak revlimiter (literally - that course was fast!) event.

I honestly can't say that all these new people in STR didn't sway my decisionof selling the Civic for what will be most likely be a 10+ year old 150k mile daily driver in order to have the S2000 in the driveway too. Weird priorities. :wink:

I'm pretty sure I'll be throwing more money at the car than I originally planned.

Also, I saw two just like yours today, Matt. Looks good in person, in motion.

As someone who ran Honda OEM fluid for over 3 years in my S2000 and then switched, I highly recommend Redline MTL. :thumbsup:

I thought you had MT90 in yours, did you dump it for MTL?

When I left work at 6pm, it was 28degF and the SI shifted like poo for 3 miles ;) with Amsoil MTF.

Anyone think these will help me carry more corner speed? I just dont think they are legal in STR though. allowance is for cross drilled rotors not these.
