I've no idea what the "racer's code" is on contingencies, but the deal I worked with my co-driver for this season allows either of us to keep any contingency money we might earn in the car. He gets to buy all the tires, though...

Always nice when mods abuse their power to keep themselves from looking foolish. Typical, take your ball and go home because things are not going your way. I am sure you will now take this out as well.

As far as contingency you are getting way ahead of yourself.

More like i cleaned up so this thread could be used as a useful source of information for people going to a NT or ProSolo.
I don't feel like things where not going "my way", i'll just leave it at this:

A man with experience is not at the mercy of a man with an opinion...

And if registration stays the way it is; i am really not getting ahead of myself, so a response to my question from a "man of experience" would be alot more worthwhile than a smart-*** retort.

as long as you do it equally for ALL of the threads you reside over. Otherwise it's an abuse of your position and I won't have anything further to do with you either

Team, the threads i reside over probably include over 40 instances of you and jason mudslinging, if you think that i'm going to read/understand/moderated your arguments of basically who has a bigger... ego, than you can be done with me for the effort that would be worth.

Edit: christ clyde ur review of that Ford GT was like reading ****! Amazing car though, I was lucky enough to drive one when my ex-gfs dad had it.

Indeed. Anyway, in addition to my previous questions on contingencies, where might one find the cheapest magnetic sheets, the ones i can buy for PolakGraphics only come in long rolls and are quite pricy, and I don't think my current number configuration is "legal"

www.gogogear.com can get you the magnetic material and numbers for not much......But really, with all the money you have been spending on your car I have a hard time believing that the cost of magnetic material has you concerned. Also, don't you have some sort of graphics company? You should invest in some more professional looking #'s in my opinion......

We'll I don't stock magntic vinyl rolls because I wouldn't use them, and a while ago when i checked my supplier he only had huge 24''x50foot rolls for $100.00 which would have been overkill. But he's gotten smaller sizes now so i'm all set with a 24''x10foot for $30.

As for making the numbers fancy i'll try but i believe the rule book says one typeface for class and # and only one color... I can only get so creative.....

Again, www.gogogear.com can make you an adhesive class and number set in a multitude of colors for not very much money.....Once you get the adhesive numbers just stick them onto the magnetic material and cut them out.....You can monkey around and try to make your own but in the end your better off saving the time and buying real decals. If nothing else at least you'll look fast.....

When I get a new color car I get a new roll of magnetic material from
beacon graphics

http://www.beacongraphics.com/magnetic.html

I have some white, red, black and now blue.
Get the thicker material, the thin stuff will blow off on a run.

You are done with impound as soon as the preliminary result is published and reviewed by the class participants, with no further objections. It usually lasts for about 30-60 minutes. Remember to bring a jack and tools to remove the wheel for inspection, just in case.

You done any local events lately? Love to see your readiness.

Not familiar with the names of front-runners in the result you posted. You got beat by a Toyota Tacoma? Tell me that's not true =D

Kidding aside, you should get a pretty accurate gauge of the car/driver as soon as you run with Philly SCCA in STU-trim.

corey ridgick and danny cheung will be running STU this sun. at warminster. i'm sorry i have to miss it, but i'm very curious as to who will prevail. danny beat corey by a tenth or two at a NNJR warmup event earlier this year although danny was running pro and corey open.
