Congratulations, Corey! Best luck with the car. Coincidentally, 93/193 is the number that Jim ran with the car.

I am afraid #51 Torii/Tsuzuro Citation will be inactive for a unknown period of time. We will inform you if and when we start autocrossing again.

Thanks! :)

Mark,

Where did you order the N2 tank and regulator? If you don't mind, can you share the source?

TIA

Hooray! :D

I am relieved to hear that!

George, the talk of my moving to the west coast didn't materialize. :( I ended up moving my office to New Jersey from Long Island. I am very aware of the growth of the CM competitors on the west...

Oh, that sucks! :( We were looking forward to seeing you two. No, we will not be going to the Dover Tour due to schedule conflict. I have been pretty busy at work and it is harder to take time...

Hey Dick, I look forward to seeing you this weekend! It looks like Saturday's weather is questionable. Any tips on driving an FF in the rain? I have an old set of rains if there is standing water....

I totally agree that a back-to-back skid pad test between new and old tires will answer the question. If you get around to do the test, I hope you will share the results with us. :)

Mike, I bought my car in September 2011 from a man who won 2 national championships in it. I should assume that the car is optimized for the fresh tires. The "adjustments" that I do for older tires...

I had the same experience when I tried a fresh set of Hoosiers for the first time just before Nationals. Until then, the freshest set of tires that I drove on had been one with 14 runs that came...

We must cancel our trip to Lincoln.... Our dog got bitten by other dog and badly injured. She will be alright but need close attention for the next few days and we just can't leave her with a dog...

-pru-

It's very nice of you to set up the meet & greet! Keiko & I would love to come. Since we have a T'nT session between 4 and 5, we will be late but definitely be there. We look forward to...

Interestting.... Coming from the builder of my car (I bought Jim Garry's 85 Citation), I'll have to give it a try. The car manifests mid corner and corner exit understeer when the tires are either...

Hey Scott, you and Tom will be more than welcome to try my CM car at National T 'n T on Monday. We have 2-3pm and 4-5pm reserved for ourselves. Reserve a different time slot and the car will be...

You mean Tom Kubo and Scott Frasier?? Wow! I've gotta give them a call! ;)

A fresh set of tires make a world of difference as I'm sure you already know. Don't tune your car on an old set of...

Next time when you change tires, take a good look at the rims. Brush off all of the corrosion on the bead area and it will make a huge difference.

But no CM car is coming to Nats from Northern California this year. Hope this will change next year.

I just had new sets of tires mounted by a friend. I told him that the rears were losing air. He checked the rims and noted that there was a good amount of corrosion in the bead area. He cleaned...

85 lbs is a lot of weight. It won't be easy especially if you and your wife run in the open class together. Imagine having to swap 85 lbs of weight between each run....

Luckily, my wife and I...

Congrats! Nice looking car! :thumbsup:

Bummer. I'll see you at Peru or Toledo (if the Tour moves to Toledo again) next year then.

I'm not sure if my car (I just picked it up from the engine builder this evening) and/or we (my wife...

Thanks, Geoff! I have been meaning to call Jeff and ask him about that.

See you at Nationals?

Doug,

I'm sorry to hear that. You must be disappointed. Hope your elbow will heal soon and get back to the top form like your car did!

Not too much time to mull over. The entry fee will go up to $308 from $158 after 8 am CST 8/10/12. Come on, pull the trigger! You'll have a great time.

I'm having a problem with the car. Help me so that we can make to Nationals!

Thanks for the info, Dick. I assume "curing" for minimum of 24 hours after a light scuffing is still recommended?

Mark,

Have you gotten around to try the Goat P? If so, what kind of result did you experience?

Thanks,

Totally off topic, but I just put 2 sets of slicks (8 tires unmounted) in my little tiny Toyota Yaris! 6 (4 rears & 2 fronts) in the rear hatch with the rear seats folded and 2 fronts on the PAX...

All good information! Thank you!

To summarize, just like the A6, only a little scuff-in session (a single run at ~80%) is required, but afterwards, the tires need to be wrapped and bagged and...

Found this break-in procedure on the R6 & A6 tires on Hoosier's site: http://www.hoosiertire.com/pdfs/tctR6_A6.pdf

I wonder if the same procedure applies to the bias ply slicks. When I was...

People started asking questions about new tire scrubbing in other thread. With Nationals only 6 weeks away, I thought the topic deserved to have its own thread.

How do the seasoned CM...

I'll be solo this year. I think George and Joey Shilling of So Cal will be running?

True. Overlooked the charity part. :o

I took the Evo TnT once (2010?) and the number of runs "was" a lot higher. But how are you going to have an instructor ride with you? :p

I went back there and Dick was right (was he ever wrong?), it said "Registration Closed". There was also a note that said "Registration Opens: Monday Jul 16, 2012 8:00A". I guess it will reopen on...

Friends,

NTnT registration is open at http://www.scca.com/events/index.cfm?eid=3611

There is a glitch in it and you will have to choose a class for each and every time slot in addition to the...

I thought about it but I just could stand the idea of me with a smart phone. I will not go there. I will have to convince my wife to get an Android when she needs to replace her Blackberry.

I spoke with my wife tonight and we decided a 8-9 hour trip one way would be too much for our 15-year-old dog. We will pass the Peru Tour and hope to see you guys at Nationals.

Don,

Thank you! I just called and they said they would take pets for $10 each. Now if I can find a sitter who can watch the dogs during the event at the venue. Maybe I'll run an ad on SCCA...

Thanks for the info! It looks really good! I'm definitely interested.

I understand that I will have to have an Android device (this may finally be the time to say good bye to my "dumb" phone) and...

Thank you for the heads up!

I just found out yesterday that our dog sitter will not be available in the weekend of the Peru Tour.... Unless we find a new one (it won't be easy due to the...

My friend's car is one of the best built CSP car in the country and far from a "street car". :rolleyes: Miraculously, he fixed the car in time to lead the class over the current national champion...

My friend's car broke and I cancelled my trip at the last minute. :(

Good luck to everyone in CM!

Mike,

What is the system that you used to take Avril's video? That's exactly I am looking for! With the vehicle speed, lateral and longitude g's and course map, it will be a great learining...

Dick,

The Test & Tune slots at Nationals last year filled out pretty fast but not "immediately" like you experienced with the Toledo Pro. Test & Tune course stays open the whole week (even...

CM will be running in Heat 2 and so will CSP. This will limit my visiting time to the CM grid. :(

My wife and I are planning to be there. My wife will run in CML if the class forms. Thanks to Arvil and Carol, it looks promising. :)

I am interested in seeing responses to this thread from the guys with more experience. Out of the 4 sets of wheels I have (they are all 13 x 5.5 Panasports, 3 sets with the slicks and 1 set with the...

A series of unexpected events has just led me to fly to Lincoln to co-drive my friend's CSP car for the Tour. I will make sure to visit the CM grid to say hi to everyone. :)
