Jennifer will be in SD, her one event to get ready for the natl tour and pro. I am sure on the 11th when I am at the cal club event she will be shopping. You could join her. You want to see KW cry, come home with some shoes that cost more than his wheels.

I was more making reference of the fact that Jennifer gets the CHOICE of autocross or shopping

But I really like that shoe idea - I'll go with that!

are those solstice's any good out on the track?

speeddemon32

ok I am thinking about the Pro Solo (just a little) what all would be involved?

I would have to get an SCCA membership right? how much is that? can I get that their, or is that a before hand thing?

Just curious about doing it, most likely I wont due to finances. how much does everything cost?

Keith, you driving out their both days, or are you getting a room?

speeddemon32

looking at SCCA's web site, It is $60 to become an SCCA member but since I am still a baby (25 or under) it would only be $45.

then how much to run the pro? ( I cant find a price on teh web site)

LIARS!!!! you have to be under 21 years of age. now I feel old.

If I remember right, it was the same for both, SCCA card and registration. So if the registration for SCCA is 60, then I think the registration for the event was the same (60 more bucks).

I wasn't planning on getting a room, that would just increase the cost of things. I was planning on just driving back and forth...plus, I didn't want to just leave my car parked outside at a Motel 6....but who knows....a split room cost may be worth it, rather than the fuel costs of driving back and forth....?

The two that were out in SD on Sunday were fun to watch...They sure get loose in the rear and do a lot of drifting. The drivers were very good, and went through the Slaloms almost at WOT....very impressive.

...kinda reminded me of a Miata though.....don't like the styling of these things. Good for the older crowd I would think...and the girlies, definately a girlie car.

Jason's do you guys have the link yet, for the SD results from this weekend? Or that link to the guys that were taking pictures yesterday? Thanks.

Ullose, nice times yesterday...of course, that was after like 6 runs.....how many reruns did you have, and who was the fool that was running in front of you that kept killing the cones at the finish?

All of those reruns did nothing for me, except over heat the car and tires. My fastest run was my first timed run, which was run #2 as I was redflagged on the first one. After that with two drivers and reruns I could not get everything to cool down and went slower.

Results are not up yet. My quick time was a 61.0.

VERY impressed with your times man, definately impressed. I wasn't so impressed with my codrive in the EVO. It was a test run for me, to see if it was a car I would be interested in tading the 8 in on for. I just love driving the 8 so much...and to me, the turbo and AWD weren't that great on the autocross course. Of course, his car was completely stock, and there is lots of room for improvement....just will be hard to walk away from the 8, now that I am happy with the setup and am starting to get a hang of how to control it.

kwescott

Casey, I sent a note to the registar for the ProSolo, asking if there was anyway to switch my current registration, for a codrive in BSP...I don't expect any difficulties in switching over registration, so just let me know if this is something you want to do....maybe I could bring my set of tires to my mom's (if we decide to stay there), so that your tires don't get the brunt of the tire wear for both days.....just an idea.

speeddemon32

ULLOSE, What???

speeddemon32

Keith.... I will let you know.

The Solstice pictured above is the CS national champ car from Washington and the 2 drivers are among the best in the country. Jason put the smack down on them, but they may have been sandbagging.

I actually took the pics... only got a few and none of our run group. FYI, Pro Solo entry fee is $85 on top of SCCA membership.

kwescott

ok, there were two Solstice at the event...the one pictured above has a single exit exhaust bumper..while the other one has a dual exhaust exit bumper (even though he had no exhaust tip exitting either hole and had a custom exhaust)...are both of these the supercharged versions...are there any easy way to tell the difference between the two?

mp5

The other one is the GXP model, turbo-charged with 260hp vs. 177hp. It's in A-stock. From looking at pics, the GXP also has a little lip spoiler in the rear and a slightly more aggressive front end.

Just playin... I mean they can't suck that bad can they?
