its in my neck of the woods, too, but I'll likely be out of town :(
Good thing another El Toro event follows shortly

heck, i might even be making a trip down to San Diego for a national event. Then there's a Pro Solo event somewhere. hmm

LOL Man you know you're gonna go to this one for sure...

Jason@SportsCar · 03-07-2011, 07:27 PM

With this event so close to home, and nothing on the schedule, we are thinking about bring the Prod car out... So, do we put R comp tires on it and run CSM with Garm (?), or run the slicks in EP?

cali yaris · 03-08-2011, 12:22 AM

EP. Definitely EP. LOL

Attack of the pod cars!

I guess so.

We did get to do a few laps on an autox course with it... The 13" slicks are a little to hard to be competitive for Solo, they need too much heat. But the gearing, and lower ride height has benefits over running a set of 15" DOT Rs.

cali yaris · 03-08-2011, 02:40 PM

I'll be running with CSM (using the A6 tires). If I can get some X runs, you are welcome to take a pass if you like.

justjesus · 03-13-2011, 05:06 AM

Jason: You wait for me to be out of town for you to bring her out?!?!?

Garm: Same! LOL

I want some passes too, ya know.

someone please take pics (video is better) of both cars.

cali yaris · 03-13-2011, 07:37 PM

^ Yes. We had meetings about it and everything.

SilverBack · 03-13-2011, 08:39 PM

^Thanks for bringing the pizza. It was alot easier to think after lunch.

justjesus · 03-16-2011, 03:03 AM

i knew something was up when nobody was answering their phones!

Jason@SportsCar · 03-16-2011, 01:34 PM

Just got the word that the Yaris goes in tomorrow for a new set of cams... I don't know if we will get it back in time for a retune before the autox.

cali yaris · 03-16-2011, 02:31 PM

mmmm, cams.....

SilverBack · 03-18-2011, 01:45 PM

Sorry guys, have to opt-out on account of the incoming heavy rain and "radiation". Gettin' pretty damn sick of this weather always ruining my fun...

However! I will be hosting a similar meet in a couple weeks from now for those of us who can't remember the last time we ran:
