Ryan drove awesome! These were not Cayman courses, either; he outdrove his competition, pure and simple. Wish I could say the same for me, haha. I think I got some good photos of him, I'll post when I offload my camera.

Do it. You will NOT regret it.

A buddy went for the first time, got there before me. I asked what he thought.

Can't wait really looking forward to it. Looking forward to seeing all the different cars and talking with everyone. Going to EVO 1 in a month, then onto nationals next year. WooHoo.

hahahaha, that's a great way to put it. There really is so much going on with 1300+ competitors and three courses running simultaneously with 15-20 second car spacing for a week straight. And paddock is absolutely bonkers fun in the evenings with all the parties and fun going on.

Thanks in advance!

Is the actual spec of the XRR wheels:

18x8.5 +55
18x10 +42

Strangely I'm finding difficulty finding a definite answer on this, even after googling/searching.

Also, what do people think of the RSS front sway bar with stock links? I'll likely only drive locally so I'm a bit hesitant to spend $1000 on a sway bar (to get the Tarrett with drop links).

Keep looking, I found one in Lompoc with the right options a couple of months ago, for the right price

It should be in your owner's manual. XRR are:
8.5x19+55mm
10x19+42mm


Taking advantage of SCCA's +/-1" and 7mm rules, I had a set of custom Forgestars made to this spec:
8.5x18+49mm
10x18+40mm (I use them with 3mm spacers)

I did the spacers so I'd have some wiggle room for fitament, but now that I know they fit (987.2S), I'd have them made to this and forego the spacers and use normal lug bolts:
8.5x18+49mm
10x18+37mm


Ryan was on 18x8.5 & 18x10 at nationals, but I'm not sure what offset.

From the photos above, Ryan looks like he had a set of Replika R186. Not sure if that's what he ran in Lincoln. They're not light, and one end needs a spacer to be pushed out to legal width but I can't remember which. They are real cheap wheels though, probably what I would've gone with if my air-cooled car sold and I got into a Cayman.

Just the back of my head this time, but I managed to make the Speedway video again this year, I'm 3 for 3. I really like the new format.
