Thanks Mark, I don't get on this board much any more (it's blocked at work), so sorry I didn't see the offer until now.

Good driving last weekend. I'm going to continue to blame it on the tires, try a couple of different things over the off season, and haop for better luck next season. Let me know what kind of beer I should bring to the NTAXS winter event.

I'll be in Texas, vacationing from the tundra to keep you guys honest, though it'll be my first event in five months, on a setup with a lot of changes, so no expectations...

not sure if I can accommodate you. I could be on a new wheel/tire combo that may not be codriver friendly.

I may also considering selling off an extra set of 18 x 9 SSR Type-C Competition 1-piece wheels if there is any interest. I think they weigh 16.8# each, under 17# for sure.

edit: getting a few inquiries, offset is +55 which needs a small spacer to clear a RacingBrake front 4-piston caliper - OE caliper should clear fine. polished lips with colored spokes/center. The color is an intermediate gray, not as dark as anthracite or as light as silver, about in the middle between those two. They were NIB until I used them this past autox season. Only had two sets of tires on them, so they are in very good shape. Includes Mazda 67.1mm center hub rings.

Mike (TopGear),

From the January Fastrack, it looks like your Mazdaspeed bodykit is in, but the big wing is out.

- Change the third paragraph of 14.0 to read as follows:
Under the provisions of Section 1.1 of these rules, Regions are free to allow any other version of the ST concept which meets their local needs. In particular, some tolerance in the area of bodywork allowances (e.g. wings/spoilers beyond those allowed in 14.2.F) is encouraged at this level.

- Modify 14.2.C to read as follows (ref. 10-127):
“C. Factory rub strips, emblems, mud flaps, bolt on front valance lips/spoilers, and fog lights (except those integral
to a headlight or turn signal) may be removed. Rear wings may be removed so long as the vehicle retains any
federally-mandated third brake light.”

- Replace 14.2.F with the following:
14.2.F Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and nonfunctional scoops/vents is allowed provided that either:
1) it is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the vehicle
2) it is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle, for normal highway use. Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas (including weight) from alternate sources are also permitted.

All in all, I think this is for the best!
