So who's a rookie like me and what car and class?
Just wondering who I'll be playing with at the beginning of the season

I knew that (novice)
Do we need to go and "visit" the stupid engine builder?
You know, um...motivate him?
I am heading that direction about 90% of the way Saturday to pick up my 140lbs of ballast
() I am buying so I will be at my legal weight of 3023 lbs.He better have it ready I want to hear that pop off valve when you go by me
since my PWR at the rear wheels is only 13.740909:1 (yes I need to count all those decimal places)

shhhh don't say it too loudly but ... the engine will be finished and on the truck today for a delivery on Monday or Tuesday... Hopefully its a complete build this time with all the wrist pin clips...
I dunno about decimal places... I think it is completely appropriate. It has been 139 days 1 hour 10minutes 13.44452087 seconds since my car was last running healthy...
Not that I will need ballast anytime soon, but where did are you getting yours from?

Just this guy, ya know?
You don't need to run ballast in NCW. Hell, you don't even need a class-legal car, just a safe one.

I suspected that might be the case. Then I will need it only when I actually move up to run in RS right?
That would be cool only 2880 lbs instead of 3023 lbs.
If so then I need to revise the PWR to 13.090909:1
My ballast is just some iron weight lifting plates I was going to pick up on Craigslist. Maybe I will bag that idea for a while since I would not need it until the Mission Race in June at the soonest.
Is that all? (I kidd, I know how long it FEELS) mine was down 262 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes and 2.37568921 seconds
That would be nice seeing how you paid for all of them.

I haven't and won't pay them a dime until it is done correctly!

Great Ryan! Saw you drive at the Kart Enduro. Our cars should be on similar pace so hopefully we get to play.

This is my rookie season, too. I'll be driving a red and black (#327) Spec Miata. I STRONGLY encourage our BMW and STI friends to put in at least 1000 lbs of ballast!
Seriously, I look forward to racing with you guys & girls. Scott, I do have a soft spot for BMW E36 M3s so I'll probably check out your car one of these days.

I might get the chance this year running my dads EIP RX2. Dont know if i will but i really want to. But having a baby is going to probably eat up the racing budget.

The shame of 3300 lbs with only 400+ hp and AWD to get it to the ground

400 at the flywheel, but I lose a whole bunch more than RWD through the drive line. 400 for me at the flywheel only gets me about 330 (give or take) to the ground.
Gotta love the AWD though

10 TO 1 power to weight ratio should get the job done nicely!
I only kept up with you one time last year because of tire issues you were having. And you had to run dry tires in the rain. Otherwise you would have left me!
