I think you and NickCats both know that there is a certain shifter kart, an awesome 911, and an AWD Yugo that I want to chase down.

Besides, if I bump a class that means you and NickCats can go head to head without worrying about my extra HP and R compounds giving me the advantage.

Who knows, I may never do anything to my car but I sure don't mind putting together a wishlist!

dj,

Gotta agree with Sammy on this one...

We WANT him to upgrade and get him out of the A Stock class to give us a chance at a trophy !

If you guys really want a challenge, sign up for the SCCA Milwaukee National Tour. My co-driver and I are signed up and can't wait for the long tow out there. I cut my teeth autocrossing in the Milwaukee region back in 1997-1999 and several of the country's top A Stock drivers (including the 1-2 finishers at Nats in 2006) will be competing at the Tour. Should be fun.

Hope to see some other Boxsters out there, even if not competing. Miller park isn't too much of a drive from Chi-town.

John - Good luck at Devens! (at least I thougt it was your name for this weeks event )

I've been winning A Stock in my '00 S lately. I seriously think I'm only a set of race tires away from competing for FTD.

I'd start any racing modifications with sticky DOT-legal race tires. They won't bump you into a harder class, and they'll give the car phenominal grip.

Thanks. We are really looking forward to Devens - they put together some great courses last year and we're finally starting to figure the car out.

We haven't been to Milwaukee yet this season, but I did run 3 times last year and agree that there are some fantastic drivers, particularly the one in the older red Corvette. I can't compare last year to this year because I was new to the Boxster and didn't have R compounds. Let me know when you'll be in Milwaukee and maybe we can meet up for an event?

We arrive thursday the 5th of July late - planning to do the warmup event Friday at Miller Park and Friday night coursewalks. The only other plans I have are to visit Kopp's in Glendale and stop at Sprecher for a case of root beer.

Saturday and Sunday are pretty much all competition, and we're leaving Monday AM for the long haul back. If you make it up to the event do stop by and say hi. We have the yellow "S" with Maryland tags.

The guy with the older red Corvette is the current A Stock national champion. Steve Wynveen (2nd at nats last year) will be there in his yellow S2000 as well.

Yup, I know who the guy in the Corvette is.

I'm not sure if I can make it that weekend but I'll check my schedule and PM you if I can make it.

Well, luck didn't prevail. I was dirty as hell both days and ended up having to backpedal to get a clean run each day. Considering essentially no real seat time in the car this year, I'm pretty happy. My raw times would have given me the win but Chris kept it fast and clean and took a deserved win.
