(which, IMO, is kinda b*s, since the base doesn't have ATTS like the SH's....) *shrug* doesn't matter now...it's STS for me.
and yeah, i can't even IMAGINE you guys w/ a lil alcohol in your systems....i was pretty sure Gil and Alan had a flask in that truck SOMEwhere...those guys are nuts! :rofl:

Now personally I don't drink (long story) but watching everyone else is very funny
Oh and the SH and base model are in the same class because the base model is lighter (without the ATTS) which cancels out the effect that it doesn't have the ATTS. The SH with the ATTS is much heavier hence both cars run the same 1/4 miles times, right?

Mindy I know you weren't trying to get away with anything, but you should tell tech people what is on the car. Springs and shocks are hard to see and most people can't see them. Unless it is blatantly obvious they ignore it, they got pissed at my headers even though they were stock. EX headers without the heatshield on look like aftermarket headers. So I had to explain that my heatshield was busted.
Anyway sucks that you are leaving, have fun in TX.

Mike, this is a random question....but just out of curiosity, WHY is there a ladies class at all? not that i'm complaining--it makes it easier for me to get trophies, but seriously...i honestly can't understand why there would be a difference...it's not like it's a physical competition, and there is no real physical reason that a male should be any better of a driver than a female. (expect, perhaps....the cockiness factor...) only thing i can figure is that it attracts women to the sport....
when and if i get more competitive times, am i allowed to run in regular STS or must women stick to the ladies class?? just curious...
**edit: mods, feel free to make this a diff thread if you'd like, i know i'm gettin off-topic here....**

So in my view that is lightening up the front end, but like the PM I sent you your competitors wouldn't care much because we are a very friendly club we do let things slide for novices since they are just that - learning the ropes. But if you took home a trophy your competitors have every right to protest you.

You are allowed to run any class that is legal for your car. Either open class or ladies class. Roseanne Freeburger in her white Type R always runs in the open class. And she is in her 60s.
Although I have seen many fast females in all classes sometimes beating out the guys
