I can vouch for the CRX being able to take a licking and keep on ticking; I drove mine head first into a wall at Mid-Ohio last year and an afternoon of careful hammering with a BFH and yanking on it...

Thanks for the info guys. While not the answer I wanted to hear it is pretty much what I figured regarding finding good 13" takeoffs. :(
Where's the best place to get decent used race tires? Preferably something like a 215/50R13 Kumho 710 or similar.
Argh, well played.
Look kids, this is how you destroy tires. And piss off a Mustang. And pee your pants. :blink:
Bill: I think I'm good at the moment, thanks though.
Jay, Jim, Jim: Interesting that you all changed your avatar after I finally added one. And Jay, your previous one was better. Just sayin'...

If anyone has a stash of '84-'87 CRX front fenders and header panels, a front bumper, and front corner lights from a '86-87 CRX laying around collecting dust...I'd be more than willing to take them...
The purple crack isn't in the cards for this season, I need to get better at not flat spotting brand new tires and not driving into walls before I go down that road.
Dave: 215/50R13
Jay: yes, the American Racing Estella and the Primax 333 both come in 13x5.5
Tristan: Rota does make the Torque in a 13" rim, but only in 5" or 6.5" widths.
Thanks for everyone's input. I was hesitant to start the thread for fear that it would show just how ignorant I am...but then I realized I already unveiled my true colors long ago. :)
Granted, my...
Thanks for all your input, it's good to see what has worked for other people before throwing down the money. While I sure appreciate how cool everyone is with lending out tools at the track, and...
Last season was my first season and I trudged my way through well enough, though I did spend way more than my budget. Probably due to the fact that I hadn't really set one...learned my lesson there....
OK, I need me some wheel learnin'....
I currently have two sets of steel rims that have been beat to heck and back and one set of no-name aluminum rims. At the end of last season I began thinking...
Jim: I just saw what you did there...nice.
Beware, I still owe you from the bumper sticker escapade.
Maybe not the correct place to ask this but...is it possible/allowed for a driver to attend an SCCA drivers school after already completing their school requirements?
I completed my school...
And from my view, at the 5:00 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCQR5Gx1-Bg
Yeah, one of the Pinto boys decided to take off my front end the first time through Oak Tree during qualifying. :mad:
However, the remaining displays of dumba*s driving can be attributed to me...
:(
I don't want to race by myself
Has the online registration just not been updated or is ITC boycotting this race? Normally there are at least 5+ registered by now... :017:
We enjoyed meeting you also.
I really can't express how cool (nearly) everyone has been that we've met during race weekends this year. Everyone in our group is great on and off the track, and...
I just registered.
Nice, and your spin from my view...

"...a used up hooker..." Ouch.
I'll post up your spin too... :)
I'm planning on bringing a tow rope with me to hook on to either Jon, Jay, or Bill so that I can stay close enough to learn something from you fast guys.
That's how I understood it would work.
