ase2dais · 10-31-2006, 06:42 AM

Frederick, Maryland

PSA ... auto-x season is right around the corner kiddies.

David -- did you join CDC already? Will you be attending events? Would be cool if we got a decent turnout. Break out the chairs and tent, and then talk trash and laugh at our lowly driving skills (esp. Donny's!).

First CDC auto-x is March 24th. I got the Fliks and Azenis RT-615's mounted and ready

D@#$!!!! 24th is right after I have duty - a no-go for me. I'll be late to watch, though.

I was all set to do this with Stella; I had tuned her for that purpose. At least with the 3er, I'll be stock (D-Series, I believe...)

Doug...the CDC has no classes (unlike SCCA), its a very casual affair.

I'd love to go but ain't no way I'm grinding my new setup down

That's my winter set

Hmmm...maybe I'll keep an eye out on CL for a cheap take off wheels and shop for appropriate tires

Scottz71 · 02-26-2007, 04:21 PM

Since I'll be in FLA for a week of Spring Training the days prior to that date, I think I will have to pass on an Auto-X for now...

W-E-A-K!!!!!

C'mon tires are and rims are cheap for a ballar like yourself. You probably drop more in one trip to the blackjack tables (or, ahem, gentleman clubs) in Vegas
