I'm planning on joining the ranks of AS and nabbing a set of stock 18's (painted with the Krylon touch in black) and some v710's or Hoosiers depending on which die a slower death in terms of cording on the front shoulders.

:sound of a record needle scratching over the record:

Have you heard about my good friend Universal Gold? :D

Even if you haven't, I highly recommend Duplicolor's engine enamel that you can find at any auto store. Temperature rated to 500F and resistant to scratches. Tech here: http://www.corner-carvers.com/forums/sh ... duplicolor

It's quite possible I take '09 off. I didn't really miss it since I stopped after the DC Pro this year. - AB

Now you're talking. I'll be driving a 2003 Taylor Made RX580D, 450cc, USGA conforming, S-flex.

STS!! Crap! You guys are killing me! Between Kevin and Lee kicking my butt all year, now we have the alien protege coming in to play. I quit!

I'm planning on having the Contour back up and running for STS. :twisted:

I'm staying in the S2000 for sure. Maybe do a few more National events in it, and have another crack at Nationals. "That which does not kill me makes me stronger."

STS again for me, my only mods may be a new set of shocks, brake pads, and stainless lines (and continuing to eat through 2 sets of tires per year). Hard to believe, but my car has 91k miles on it now (hit 91k during my 3rd run Sunday).

Looking forward to something entirely different next year in Mike's new Stanger. Going from a fairly well suspended, low HP FWD'er on street tires to a RWD stock suspension car on race rubber should be entertaining. Course workers might want to take a few steps back. FS here we come!

I'm looking for an STS-prepped 89-ish Civic Si. Should drop about a second vs. my times with the 2.5RS.

So what are you planning to do to in order to keep up, Les?
