  • SOWdiv solo II Divisional Series, Event 1 (of 3)

    What: SCCA SowDiv Solo II Divisional Event #1 (of 3)
    When: June 11 / 12
    Where: Pearsall...tire test track...40 miles south of San Antonio

    Link:
    http://www.dlbracing.com/Clubs/drive...x?EventID=1476

    Why:
    Stop beating up on defenseless local pca/bmw/nda groups and come see where you stack up where folks actually know how to drive... and have prepped cars.... and tires... and did I mention some of them can drive?

    This is the first of a 3 event series...the others will be in the DFW area and Houston.

    If I am in the state, I will be there!

    Trying to work the project so that I can fly home Thursday and fly back Tuesday.

    The commute to Bakersfield, Ca is killing me right now

      HAHAHA.

      When is the one in the DFW area? Is it really going to happen? I can't afford to take the whole weekend to go down there right now, but I need to make an event if I plan on making Nationals.

        There's talk of one at Mineral Wells in mid-late August I think.

            Where is a good place to stay in/around Pearsall that is cheap and close to the event?

              I'll be at all three events and since I'm on the board for the 1st divisional, I'd better damn well be at that one at the very least. Go to www.spokes.org and there is a link to the event site. There you will get info. on the host hotel and more.

              I'm registered in STX.

                OK, looks like a hotel is going to be a problem. There is nothing within 45 miles. =/

                  There are hotels, but they are booked solid already from what the Spokes folks are saying. There's only like 3 within a 40 mile radius.

                  Might want to post on the Spokes list, see if someone needs an extra roommate.

                    Speaking of STU. I saw the results from the Atwater ProSolo. Of all the ST class cars, 2 had the new Yokohama Advan Neovas (found on the Elise). They both won their classes. STX by a FULL SECOND. AN IS300 in STU for goodness sake! Those are only $215 each for me. S05's are $218 each. I guess that's the savings I should expect for running a street tire class?

                          Could still be worthwhile if they last an entire season versus 2-3 sets per season with R compounds. Nonetheless, I agree. That's a lot of coin for a street tire.

                            No matter. Mark Sipe just told me that he bought a RX-8 last week. Looks like I might have a BS Nationals ride this year. BS runs Thurs/Friday and I'll be up there those days. Already have taken off work!

                              Up in Wendover, G.H. Sharp was co-driving with sipe in his fresh off the dealer lot RX8. G.H. took 4 runs. Mark hops in, launches, goes for second... KAPOW!! Gear Salad. Transmission is G-O-N-E.

                              Not sure this will be a good year to run BS (zipping mouth shut now)
