Nope.
Looks like another year in GS for me. Cutting back drastically though. Maybe 12-15 events all year on R-comps and the rest on street tires in local classes. Ben is buying tires again (Hoosier's this year) and hopefully some off-the-shelf Koni's pop up mid-season.
I have decided that A.) I don't want to spend the savings account on custom shocks and still have the car be uncompetitive and be left with $3000 paper-weights because no one needs custom, stock-legal shocks. And....B.) I pay too darn much money for this car too have it sit idle at autocross events. And....C.) If I would switch to a Miata, it would be my 4th car in the last 4 seasons of autocross. At this time in the game, I think sticking to the same car year-to-year will improve my driving.
So it’s another year of trophy fodder in GS for me! I will likely make an appearance at either the MiDiv Divisionals or Alabama Tour (one, not both). I will also be at the Milwaukee Tour of course (guess I have too, I am chairman of it!).
As for the wheel discussion..... as Greg mentioned, edgeracing.com has a lot of deals. My Enkei RP02 deal last year must have been a mistake by them! 15.2lbs wheels for $99 each shipped! I attempted to go back to buy more after I got them (wanted to verify they were for real before buying more), but they already removed the deal. A few people got them though.
Edgeracing does have some deals on there now for some stock-legal Enkei A L Racing 387 wheels. They are 18.5lbs at $98/each. The Flik FTD's are lighter and the same price though (17.0lbs), just not the "main-stream" name.
