I'd actually thought about running one of the XS classes or STM, since Pro does seem kind of dead. Pro isn't very fun if it is only 2 or 3 people.

...but I'm not sure there is enough consistent meaningful competition for that to be worthwhile.

I guess my thinking is we might usually have 2-3 pro drivers from other regions if the weather is good.

Yeah, I agree... since you have no suspension work on the car and such i would be willing to bet it would be slower than an FRC that is prepped to the limit. Yours is likely heavier as well.

What's the widest wheel you can put on the FRC in STU?

We'll see if the car is back together and how the weather is. I might make the trip up to get some seat time before Dixie.

I think having a really solid excuse to fall back on helps me just drive without putting pressure on myself.
