Let me know what you guys need. I can get the 255/40-17s for $165ea plus $51 to ship a set from Reno. I can bring them down to Marina or you can pick them locally.
The Rebello race engine will be done by the end of the week. After breakin we’ll chasis dyno. Should be over 250rwph. Transmission and rearend were rebuilt as well. Suspension was rebuilt last year with custom valving. Olivia has been lightened over 120lbs already and we’re still considering some extreme measures for an additional 48lbs before Sep 2013. The car will be very competitive in BSP. The tires will cost $10/run. The travel expenses are minimal @ .15/mile. I’ll take care of getting the car to the venues with he new truck and enclosed 24′ trailer plus ALL scheduled maintenance. If the co-driver breaks it, they bought it so no hot dogging. I already talked to a couple of local champions that run street tire classes but they don’t have the money for extended tours like San Diego, Packwood or Lincoln. We will not consider a co-driver after the season starts in mid February.
A little bird told me that another event is coming to Marina. Topics will be car setup and advanced driving at competition level. Two of the instructors are unmatched in their abilities.
If you want to improve your driving skills or feel you have plateaued then the Evolution School will work for you. Diane and I have both attended phase 1 and 2.
Great event everyone! Here’s out fastest runs from am/pm. Seeya next year.

We use a ContourHD1080p camera with suction mount insde the car. QStarz datalogger and RaceRender software to sync the two up. I use Windows software to do a little editing and then post. Very quick and inexpensive. We never knew the mistakes we were making until we started watching the videos. Now I know what mistakes I’m making as it happens. (Not looking ahead, entered too hot, missing braking zone, bad line, etc)
The most difficult for me is the 180 degree turn after a high speed straight. I also like the wider courses to choose my own line.
