I'm new, forgive me..
Really not knowledgeable on forums and threads and how they work, but I'm going to learn as best as I can! Anyways I was told I should come here and ask a few questions I would definitely like to compete and make some new friends while I'm at it. I drive a crappy 2001 mitsubishi eclipse gs model spyder. It's a 5 speed and has some pretty good tires on it so I think it would perform pretty well. Uhm, 1st question would be ho do i sign up? Haha, my friend has a WRX that he'd like to comete with, too. Really looking forward to this, so let me know!

Thanks! Well, it's basically stock. Newer tranny, but still the same specs as factory. Ahh it does have new goodyear eagle F1's on it. But really it's all stock.thrdeye wrote:Welcome. Let us know what modifications the vehicles have and we'll point you to the correct class.
My other major question is do i need a special license or insurance? Because on the beginner's guide it just says i need to register and comply with the rules.

Oh! And the WRX is stock too. New tires but they're nothing fancy. We're just wanting to have some good wholesome fun, legally. We'll be at the Pellissippi Community College Campus in Knoxville, Tn. On April 26th!

As long as your tires are 200 treadwear or above, you would be best in H Street and the WRX would be in D Street. If you're below 200 treadwear, you can run STM (Street Tire Modified), which is still at 140 treadwear for this year.

Awesome, thanks! Yes my tires are the Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2
So these: http://m.caranddriver.com/comparisons/g ... c-2-page-5
I guess I'm above the 200 rating, so H Street it is! And I'll let him know he's in D!

Welcome; try to get to the event early; about 7:30 and come find Me. I'll be the guy with the grey 67 cobra, and a sombrero; not hard to find, I'll be happy to walk you through the whole process and answer any of your questions. The first event can be a little overwhelming for some but I'll help you through tech, registration and figuring out the course. We even have instructors to ride with you, "if you want", to help you find the quickest way around the track

Re: I'm new, forgive me..
as to the numbers (and class designators) …what color are y'alls cars … I ask because you'll probably be using tape for your numbers
if a dark car, then then the standard blue painters tape WON'T be acceptable … you'll need contrasting colors for your numbers .. and the car will need it's numbers before it comes through tech
welcome, plan on having fun
