New massive sway bars on Kermit, -3.5 in front and -2.5 rear, and now rolling on 18s. .020 clearance between caliper and wheel in front. SAND GRINDER!!!
I've been going to events, but not very active in this thread, I'll start working on that.

Thanks again for the ride in Kermit on Sunday, it was awesome, and thanks to Susan for the shirt to commemorate the ride.

I am hoping that replacing my PCV check valve will fix the crank case pressure issue that blew out my dipstick and I will be at Devens for the NERSCCA event on Sunday. Anyone else going to be there?

Scruff, bear with us while we shift gears (chassises, layouts, powerplants, and countries of origin)... Turco and I both moved the Evos and switched into Corvettes. He's got a C5Z06 (50th Anniversary Edition) and I have a C6 Z51. We'll be seeing you very soon on the tarmac...

AMERICAN BIG IRON!!!!
Now you will need to learn how to cone dance all over again.
Kermit now has so much grip that it sometimes catches air on the inside front tire, when I am WOT on a high speed turn.

Yessssss i am stoked. I'm having a little sticker shock over tire prices (305 front / 315 rear) but I am really looking forward to re-learning how to autocross.... hope to see you real soon.

Do not know if I will make that event. most likely not. Cutting back to 30 events this year, maybe more after I get our kitchen finished. Hoping to move in to it in late September. Tic Tic Tic.

Bumping this from the darkness, seeing as how my Evo is track only car anyway.

If any of you proper drivers are still around, and want more excitment than a parking lot, The first Burke Hillclimb of the season is coming up! Burke is part of the NEHA Hillclimb championship series, and alone with Okemo is a great high speed event.

Hillclimbing in New England is Similar in road conditions to Tarmac Rally, with less suspension travel needed. In general, you race up Mountainous Access roads for the best time.

We would certainly welcome all new folks, and speaking as a somewhat recent new addition i can attest to how friendly everyone is off the bat.

This is a somewhat recent run of Burke, should give you a good idea of the speeds and terrain involved.

June 11 and 12.

Well it's all about driving in your limits! It's not to say wrecks don't happen when your pushing the limit, but if you want to just come and drive at 6/10's it won't wreck ya.

It's a HUGELY good time.
