You should not have any problem for st2 if your cars a gts4 .I think 8.7 is st2 and gts4 is 9??

True BUT. .75 reduction for slicks and .2 for weight which will make me add too much weight. If I run 275 as largest size tire I can add back .4. That will put me legal as I can add about 50 pounds pretty easily. My metal hood and pizza will get me there by next week!

Yeah I go too...just so I can eat pizza! I'm pretty regular but not like the old days when I could lift minivans. Now I do about half and half cardio, weights and heavy bag.

Will do my friend, thanks. Still not sure about me going either...but hopefully I can figure something out with the tires. Wish you the best with your car!

Hey Rog,

Yea, the ST-2 field is the biggest I've seen on a regional basis. There are a lot of new names in there, too, that I don't recognize.

I talked to Rob and he said Travis is coming to help you if you decide to come.

See you there!

Well, initially it was a no brainer. But, now I have the choice of running in the GTS4 field with very few cars or running a pieced together set of scrubs in ST2. Can't find any new hoosier rears in a 275...they quit making them some time ago.

Come on guys, leave Terry alone. Ok, Terry, just get me back and I'll feel better. Talk about my mama or something. Like " yo mama's so fat she put's on lipstick with a paint roller". Or, " yo mama's so fat, the back of her neck looks like a pack of hotdogs!" Maybe, "yo mama's so far, she's on both sides of the family."

Rog, don't worry. Terry will be OK. He's busy golfing and celebrating his daughter's graduation, so he won't see most of this 'til its too late. And, he's got thick skin, and we have a long history (we met at his first DE). He requires constant abuse just to keep him in check.
