My understanding is that the new Shenandoah Circuit is not going to be done until next year at this point. I know the AI racce that was going to be there has been cancelled. Not sure if they will move the event back to the main circuit.

Springs? That's what I forgot to put on. j/k

The old Civics didn't use springs, they used torsion bars. I couldn't tell you what the spring rate is but I can tell you the bars are 27mm thick (stock 19mm, CSP car 24mm). The rear has coil overs.

Be careful, you might get rolled by one of those Sentras.

Steve's Sentra is a sleeper. He rolled most of the HPDE group 2 he was running with. I can't wait for him to pass me in group 3. That is, if he can keep up with me in the turns (j/k)

Actually, being a Sentra owner myself, i have much love for yours. I also noticed how blisteringly fast it is and DO have some pics of it. I noticed that you were untouchable in a few of the Sunday runs. You started off near the front and stayed that way. I wanted to make my way over to your pit but stayed busy with my friends Mustang (blue/grey 90 GT). I was also busying taking loads of pictures. After i get them all sorted out i'll post up ones of those on here.

I think the organizers are being overly optimistic.. I know how these things go, and you are probably quite right.

I think he knows I was joking on him (as in gets no respect). I am well aware of his driving skill. I backed him up here http://www.dragva.com/forums/showthr...threadid=22284 Though, I am not too worried about getting rolled on by him until he gets a little more HP. I can get my car through the corners well enough
