I think we need a 1% adjustment for rcomp tires that aren't as fast as kuhmos or hoosiers. A 3.5% for people on all season tires. And an additional 1% for cars on shocks with more than 75k miles. Perhaps another 10% for those that adopt a kitten.

The update shouldn't have changed RT standings within the class itself... :?:

No, it didn't, but it changed the overall PAX standings. This is the first time he's hit the top 20. He's improving....

Thanks for correcting the PAX results. This is the first time you'll hear it from me,"PAX doesn't suck no more!" :thumbsup:

Rodney, I didn't notice it earlier but, that was a heck of a nice last run dropping almost a whole second.

Thanks Shawn. Still trying to understand how to drive that car. I need to learn that I can mat it out of the corners, I was waiting too long to hit the gas.

Rodney, I can give you grief and say this because I'm guilty of the same behavior. But Rob autocrossed the same beat up little Miata for like a decade and daily drove some old Ranger pickup truck for the same amount of time before he bought his Z06, I'm quite certain if you took the same amount of money you've blown shifting/trading cars for the past decade you could probably have bought two C5 Z06s. :wink: :P

ummm, yeah, still feeling the heat.... I've long said that myself. If I'd kept the cutlass and made it the way I wanted, I'd still spent less money over the years and had a damn nice cutlass to boot! Oh well, my time machine is busted and I can't go back and correct those mistakes.

This is a large part of why I still have my Altima. I was very fortunate that my parents paid for it while I was still in high school. I took over payments after I graduated. I don't have my sights set on a replacement at the moment, but hopefully when that time comes I'll be in a position to pick up something much nicer.

I took delivery of the Altima on December 31, 2002. Ponder that for a second, Rodney.

Or maybe I'll just daily drive the S2000 :)

For the record, I drove my Civic for 8 years before I hit this rut of car swapping every few months. I'm up to 7 months on the BMW :).

I took delivery of my Z-24 on October 31, 1998. I still have it, and though it's not mobile right now, it will be again soon.

Rodney's old Cutlass was cool. He should have definitely kept that one.
