Sorry dudes, we don't really have the population over here to get a good race going. Head over to mt.net, or just ask to join the MT car club and keep an eye on the thread over there. We do a spec race every Sunday around 8pm eastern.

So far we've done a spec civic, mr-2, e30, and we're working on a viper.

Don't be so mean either, "grounds for removal". Keep it to a certain car class and if anyone feels like cheating (there hasn't been any yet at mt[except a miscommunication that gave two drivers 7+hp b/c turbo/super]), they probably still won't win. We have a few guys that are generally 2-3 seconds faster than me, 10-20hp while sacrificing grip (to keep within car class) wouldn't help me one bit.

You also should specify a class, like B-500. That way things like a few of the uber-light wheels don't bump you up to A-501.

We also like to keep it all about the tune, so pretty much any car we do will have race suspension, front/rear spoilers for adjustability, race sways, and either sport or race transmissions. And hopefully they'll continue to all have race brakes/tires.

Hey curly, I'm not trying to be a dick with the grounds for removal. Just trying to make a point. I'm also trying to help stir up so action on here, it's been boring around here lately. I was looking at mt's but I figure most of that is ---- talking and I'm really just doing this for ***** and giggles.

Done,can you help get some people over here for them? I know if they race Sunday nights there are other people over at mt that can run with them either.

Be ready with a good car, we haven't done a Miata yet, but remember we have to change every week. Or at least we like to.

Something with a longish straight would be nice, we've done a lot of technical courses requiring 5.0+ final gearing. Finding a balance between straight line speed and acceleration would be interesting.

Come join us on Sunday nights! I would really like to see a consistant 10+ people racing with us!

The S700 ACR Viper at Laguna Seca this weekend should be fun. Going to finalize the parts list tonight!

I'll try to join in on these spec races as much as I can.
