Let's do it! The suspension is currently going through some serious upgrades. Can't buy a used race car cheap enough.

Not an apples to apples comparison. Moving to I he could run an ECU flash which will give him 30+ hp, bigger brakes and aero. He was also neutered by the completion several years ago and had to run smaller brakes in H.

Hahaha! You’re on.

“Race car” and “cheap” in the same sentence? Not!

Probably not as it will take me a while to learn how to drive the 911 without holding others up. But I will drive it for DMTD and possibly the T&T.

Obviously not, I am aware of the stock class prepared rules as well as rm losing his wing and pccb calipers (before I started racing). we’re from the same
region. not is saying its apples to apples, just having fun Ryan and I have run together for a couple years. he has many years of experience on me so being a class up makes it “fair”ish?

Also more power just means his brakes will give up that much sooner! haha

also, I run stock brakes and now so does he. he had pccb cals and the issue was they took them away even tho his car came with them from the factory, so sore-loser pca racers changed the rules to slow him down. thanks Obama.

But neutered? Really? last I checked he won a couple championships since? Also its amateur enthusiast racing. I win every race I am in...by having the most fun

Lastly, screw classing. Evan laps quicker than some 200k GTb1/2 cars driven by fast wallets....in his E car!!!

LOL

Remember 100% of the rule change proposals come from fellow Racers not some PCA Overlord.

Trust me buddy, I want to. I am in the midst of opening a tech company that goes along with the other offices. Invested a lot of personal funds and have to spend a lot of time on it the next month to two months for our launch! Hoping that all of this just means more racing time in the future! I am really bummed to miss this one though. You're gonna kick ***, especially with the brakes sorted!

Default Dumb (Odd) Sebring Question

I've been going to Sebring for several years and never found showers at the track. Anyone know where they are? Are they clean enough to use?

THanks,
Greg
