Default Second auto x on Sunday I am scared

Frightened actually, there are a lot more people so you know me putting on my helmet backwards may not get a laugh like it did the last time. Its in Grantville, PA and Mike Louie aka CivicSiRacer is racing too and Zack aka clickwir is coming to give us moral support.

My plan is to finish last as usual, I had my tires at 40 psi the last time on a day that was around 70F. Should I up them a little as they rolled a lot, or should I just leave them as is? I had a 3/4 tank of gas and used less than a 1/4 tank, would I be better off just going with like a half tank of gas? Another question... I am rather tall and very close to 6'1" and with my helmet on I had to kinda slouch and twist my head because I kept hitting the roof. Anyone else have that problem, is there any solutions like kicking the seat back down or something?

Don't be skurd mang! I'll be there in my 02 si praying for rain so I have a chance to keep up with mike, I think we are just about tied in points. The last 2 events have been disappointing for me but I'm just gonna blame it on my tires being shot. what are you running? car/class

I am running H Stock in my 1994 Honda Accord EX, my brother and sister in law are running G Stock and G Stock Ladies respectively in their 2003 Acura RSX Type S.

So you guys are saying its ok to have nightmares of massive cones beating me on the head with a 2x4. h:

First time for an RSX? Wow I thought more of them ran? Well don't expect too much from my brother and sister in law, they are auto x virgins and its their first time. We are just gonna have fun.

He drives a 2002 Civic Si in black with black wheels (slipstreams) and black headlights.

I get a little giddy before big events. Small events I just have fun, which makes me drive better

Each demographics is different. Philly region guys have more expensive cars, NEPA region everyone drives beaters, our region we have a mix. DC region some guys are driving GT2s and GT3s!

We do not have any RSX drivers that I remember. GS is ruled by the Mini and DS is WRX or Type R and sometimes the SRT4.
