I am in

Stock exhaust

Stock tune, rads car goes to dyno and he can't touch it

Stock tires

I'm not going to spend to spend time / money setting my car up for slicks or Hoosier

I'll even take an independent driver if you want that is scca autocross champion and watch from sideline, Ian. Not a Porsche driver by any means

I also vote roebling

Much safer environment for run off

Your mid engine car should be much better than a rear engined beetle there

That's easy, let's get together and dyno my fiat and cayman, your aero beetle, and any other potential contender aero beetle, same day, good drinks, good food, videos, pics, etc in preparation for the challenge. My car is on the same conditions as it came from sebring, not all the upgrades you guys get by the month.

Snicker Autox champ against Autox champ need to throw a set of Hoosiers on Purple Crack at it's finest. I am sure I can get Jon K of Seat Time to allow U to go at it.

Ian? Bring it on, I have the privilege to be friend with national champion autocrossers, and get them to do the driving for me, but... I strongly prefer the challengers to drive their own ****.

So, my small piece of advice, Izzone, man up and drive your own car.

Another little piece of advice, share the car, grab data, study, repeat.

The only few things I tried to learn about performance car driving, I learned from much more experienced drivers.

Sharing the car is good, and it teaches a lot

LMAO. Easy, chief....

Any time I drive someone else's car on track, I take responsibility for it.

The one exception would be this contest, where I would want to be fully indemnified.

On another note, here is the ONLY true, honest way to equalize horsepower...

@85Gold, I would love Ian to be the control driver, he's very experienced with Nasa-TT , i deeply trust his driving, and i'll bring a waiver so he signs it, and we are cool. I'm responsible for fixing my car if it breaks, but I'm not responsible for injuries a driver incurs by over-driving my car. Simple stuff.

Stock tires my 4ss. Scuderia comes with the crappiest tires.

If we are to do this on dot-r, street tires, or slicks, let's set the rules. My vote is R6, because they make them on fiat and aero beetle sizes.

I wish i could run RA1, but not made in 19". I can run A6 but rennlist says they are way toooo fast, and i dont want excuses after the challenge.

Don't get too caught up in Rad's cross dressing championship. His class had 7 competitors, his times in B Stock (a real class with slower cars and almost 50 competitors) would have netted him 17th place.
