Revision 1:(10/2/2012)
-PI adjustments for the Scion FR-S (-5), Honda Civic Si (-5), and BMW 135i (+10)
-maximum weight reduced from 3299 to 3099 lbs

-added the Chevrolet Cobalt to the car list
-the bmw is getting a weight break, but no power can be added.

I think tonight was pretty fun, look forward to doing some races in a few weeks.

Jump, we should have sand-bagged although it's not in my nature to do so. I'm barely over the min HP at 258 now affraid

Yeah I didn't think the PI reduction for our cars was really necessary. I'm not trying to sound like i'm better then any one but I think matt and I had a better handle on our cars then everyone else and thats why we where able to get out front. Then again OLDfenderbender who also is in a FR-S finished pretty well in all the races so it may be a good call. I know what you mean on barely making the minimum, i'm right aT 251 HP.

It will probably balance the competition better. The Civic was at -5 from base pi last time we ran this type of race and for the most part the racing was extremely close between all the other cars.

eh, there was only 2 of us, but it was just a practice race anyways.

don't forget the first real race is next tuesday at 8. once the first race is started you can no longer change cars so make sure you make a final decision by then.

sorry for bailing guys. i got a fire call. perks of being a volunteer. not that i was in contention anyways. still good fun!

i know this has nothing to do with THIS series, but i feel like the aim high guys are big into actual racing. just curious if any of you are into NASCAR? just wondering cause im headed to the race in Phoenix on the 11th of Nov.

I completely understand. My sister has been a volunteer Firefighter since she was 16. Though she's now a full time EMT in a running the hall way now. Thank you for the work you do, bud!

As Boost said, him and Prone are the NASCAR people, I watch it if they tell me it's on, but I don't go looking for it. And again, as said, I'm a sports car racing guy. I'll watch ALMS, Grand-Am, PWC, WEC, V8SC, GT3, etc, whenever I can.
