Okay, I finally broke down and have committed to running my car at the Solo II events this Saturday. I'll be entered into the F-stock category IIRC, and hope to have fun testing my car and myself! The suspension is bone-stock except for some end links, and Aquatread tires on 15 inch rims - the STOCK GTA rims are 16's with Gatorbacks, I think.

 

Sounds good! How much did all that cost ya?

What are the requirements? I'm sure you need a helmet, and the basic drag race rule stuff, anything else?

How much tread is left on your tires? Might be a good excuse to upgrade. If not before the track, at least after your done rippin' up those meats!

Keep us updated.

Laters.

 

Good luck & let us know how you do

 

Oh, no, the car CAME with those crummy rims and tires on it. Apparently, the previous owner thought that 15-inch tires would be way cheaper than 16's. Sorry, it's not that huge a difference. I'd like to find GTA rims here on Island, but everywhere I look, they're uber-expensive.

I know I got to have a helmet and there's a basic tech inspection to make sure my battery is bolted down good and the tires won't fall apart - basically, it's a make-sure-your-car-won't-fall-apart inspection. I'll have to stash all the loose crud in the wife's car while I run. I get four passes, so my times should go down as I learn the course.
