dp2387, I know we’ll likely be in the same run group, but if you could find a slot to fit in a ride-along with me at some point during the day to see if you could give me any tips? I ran one event last year, and did very poorly. Spun out once, was very tail happy thru numerous sections, and had very slow times compared to the rest of SM/SM2. I’ve got the red '91 Turbo, hopefully sans alternator belt squeel at startup(loose belt I will tighten on Saturday). My name is Steve. I’m pretty easy to get along with and I don’t bite. ---

And Stephen hit the foam at Batavia, not Beaver. SM will most likely be grouped with SM2, and any Modified and Preppared cars. We’ll just have to wait for Sunday to see who actually shows up (everyone talks a big game). ---

Jim…I’m busting my ass (and Ricks hand (BFH hard, very swollen)) with the car trying to at least make it “drivable” for sunday…but I dunno if i’ll even get it to that point. However, I just got off the phone with GC today from ordering new stuff. Mid/late next week we should have a new Koni sport with GCs 550# front, 450# rear. And I still have that sway bar, which I don’t even think we’ll need but I’ll keep it handy for road race days/seneca events. Reguardless, I’m fucking broke now but super psyched for event 2. 🙂 We are going to love this setup I think. blahblahblahbalbhsdjflsakjd ok, I’m done. (oh we may actually have semi-decent working brakes too this year!) ---

So I am officially in need of a codrive I am looking for anything better than my stock wrx with snow tires. In exchange for letting me drive your car, I am offering myself as an instructor! Normally, instructors ride along with you and give you feedback on how you did and suggestions on what to do better next time. In this case, I will do that, as well as, you get to ride with me in your car so you can see/feel what it looks like to hit a ton of cones!!! err…I mean, do it right! There will also be a “special prize” for the person that gives me this honor. Any offers? ---

SoloIIscoob, just show up, we always take walk ups. Pre-reg is a convenience for us, but is not required. ---

SoloIIscoob - pre-registration for regular events is done through [wny-scca.com](http://wny-scca.com), and is not required. However, taking a page from Dave’s book, maybe I should start reserving the right to fun run anyone’s car that doesn’t pre-reg 🙂 ---

To be honest, I have never driven a mid engine rear drive car, so I don’t know if I would be any good at helping you get better. ---
