Wendover Pro Solo
Wow That is a lot of really good drivers in B Stock. I think that is the most competitively deep class Ive seen in a while. I wonder who will win. I usually hate to lose but it will be fun to see how close I can get. (hoping to be within 2-3 seconds behind)

Yeah, it sucks. :p Last year I was able to consistently trophy in BS at national-level events, but this year, despite the fact that I think I'm driving better, I've only managed one so far. My trophy shelf is getting lonely.
Seriously, though, competition improves the breed. Next weekend will be interesting, but what I'm really looking forward to is West Coast and East going head-to-head for the first time in Topeka...

G.H. Sharp just signed up. This is going to be crazy. I'd say this is a tougher field than B Stock had at Nationals last year. :D

OK Steve... You are in for half... Sending the wife to Palm Springs to shop for the weekend so some people have a chance. :p :D
Ok, so I know Randy, Joe and Mark got new V710s... I am the only one bringing rags? I have a new set in the garage but I would like to save those incase the next ship from Korea hits an iceburg.

Random observations from an eventful Pro:
Steve
- The lead was changing all weekend long -- the standings were Sharp, Hui, Goeke after Saturday morning, and Noll, Goeke, Bauer after Saturday afternoon. Randy, Joe, Ron, and Jason went crazy chopping off time on Sunday morning, while G.H., Mark, and I all pretty much sucked on Sunday.
- Joe just got his car, wheels, tires, shocks, and alignment all done in the week before the event, but did pretty well for himself regardless. Saturday afternoon saw him under his car, drilling a stiffer hole in his sway bar in an attempt to tame the back end. He only had time to drill a hole on one side of the bar before he had to run again, so he kept it that way all weekend.
- Mark blew second in his new car on his first run. Debbie (dknv) kindly loaned him and G.H. her car for their remaining runs. I believe the only prep difference between Debbie's car and Mark's is that she has single-adjustable Konis whereas he has doubles.
- CS and FS both got bumped to BS, which resulted in what was probably a record B Stock field. Thankfully most of us managed to stay in front of those guys.

Mark's car has a custom exhaust also.
The L1 4th place keychain I won is the greatest, most Awesome keychain I will ever get! The only drawback to the weekend for me, is that I am now totally in love with the 710's. :D

My name's Stephen Hui, and I usually drive a red Porsche 968. I'm at almost every NWR region event, although I'll be in a different car at the next few (the 968's getting some work done).
Forgot to mention that I also met idriverx8 at the Pro...
