Default who's going to the Nationals?

I signed up today. No chance in golly-gosh-darn of even a podium finish in BSP, but it'll be a lot of fun. I'm planning on camping out. I'll be sporting #67

Not this time for me. Too much BS going on in the ST classes. Plus I don't have enough prep in my car to justify going. Maybe next year though if they get these rules straightened out.

Cool. Its my first Nationals. I have a new suspension with modest spring rates and a Cobb Stage I retune. I don't expect to be competitive, but it will be an experience. I hope to see some of my Northwest buddies there and to see what other people do to their cars.

I'm not sure what to expect and I'm going to try cutting costs and camp out instead of getting a hotel room. I just wonder if I'll get tired of hanging out in the evening?

Thumbs up Re: who's going to the Nationals?

Most likely. My co-driver and I will be piloting his mostly STU prepped Evo VIII RS.

It'll be our first time at Nationals as well. We expect to get our a$$'s handed to us, but it should be fun no matter

Default Re: who's going to the Nationals?

I'll be at Nationals in a BSP '04 STi. It'll be my rookie appearance. I have no expectations except I hope to meet a lot of the cool people on this website and have fun driving.

I've been having a little discussion on SCCAforums about the need to bring a shop manual, not that I believe I've done anything that could be protested, or that I'll even finish high enough for anyone to worry about my place. But the conversation has been something of a downer. Is anyone bringing a shop manual?

Andy, you towing that thing with the STi??? That would be sweet.

I won't be going to nationals for the following reasons:
1 - Not yet interested in driving all that way for less than 6 minutes of seat time during which I'll get my a$$ handed to me. Maybe next year I will though.
2 - I had a little issue recently which needs to be fixed first.
3 - The recent issue around emissions and rule changes masked as clarifications of clarifications turned me off a bit. I'm waiting to see how the dust settles and if there are any protests.
4 - I already committed to going to a work retreat in upper wisconsin where I listen to people talk for a bit during the day, but mostly eat a bunch and then disinfect my blood stream.

I figure that I'd still like to do endlinks, possibly rear camber plates, lightweight battery, an intake, tune, AP, strut bar(s), and maybe headers just for fun. I also haven't even looked at the bushings for tranny, dif, etc. When I need new rotors I'll probably look at something lighter too. And maybe lighter wheels. But maybe I'm moderately prepared. Does that sound better?

I'll be there in my '05 STU prepped vehicle. I don't know how competitive I'll be since I am changing to a new suspension set-up about a week prior to Nationals, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Default Re: who's going to the Nationals?

So you're going to let me try your car with the new set up, nice! I just wonder how much of what you've done with your car I can do with my car. Oh well, next year we'll just end up having different setups and we'll see which one works better.
