In my opinion, this car is probably spirit of the rules legal but not letter of the rules legal for STS. The only thing that is illegal about the car is the update/backdate of the drivetrain, etc. If he has effectively converted the SC1 to an SC2 then there is no advantage, it just isn't legal per t...

Been there, done that. :roll: The cussed out part only happens when they actually answer the phone. Usually they just look at the caller ID and don't answer.

What I learned... 1)I'm probably screwed in the rain from now on b/c of the uber stiff suspension... Usually a softer setup will help more in the rain. The only tire that ever worked well on my car in the rain (very stiff suspension) was the Hoosier Dirt Stocker. Bias ply tires will add a lot forgi...

Kumho's with a good amount of tread left are not bad in the rain. The weather report for Sunday is 70% chance of rain and a high of 51 degrees.
