Well. I guess I shouldn't be so negative. I have passed a ZR1 on track before (dude needed help walking). Certainly driver talent makes a difference...probably only get you far locally though.

I would listen to GAMO on this and go for a CSP car. Or better yet, scrap the auto-X competitive-ness and run track events.

Leafy,
The issue here is as much quantity as anything else. STR has exploded in the Tarheel group. Last event I was at with them, there were 12 drivers I think, or about 1/8th of the total event! Most of them are solid drivers, even if they aren't top tier. If any one of them has a good day, then you'll have a tough battle.

On the flip side, one of their main lots is/was an airport course, so the NA/NB would be a bit better in that region.

Disclosure: I'm from the Triad area of NC, and many of my friends are in that STR class, even though I only run with them a couple times a year.

I'm expecting a PM asking for $200 so that I can get $5,000,000 out of a bank in Africa.

If you want a cool 5 mil, I know a prince.

Anyone want to buy some viagra?
