We had a good battle last year, but Kate is now gone and Mudge moved to the East Coast :sadpanda:

I know it is a million miles for you, but you should do spring nats.

I agree! It would be awesome to have the nats gang together for Spring, especially with Raymond moving on

24hr drive each way is a nonstarter.

I'm taking 2 weeks of vacation at the end of June already -- definitely don't have an extra week to give driving to Lincoln for a 2nd time.

I can’t swing all of the National events I want so Vegas was near the bottom of the list because I’m not interested in vegasy things. Packwood, Crows, and maybe by skipping Fontana and Vegas I can make spring nats that’sa pretty full schedule even without spring nats.

I don't think I'm ever driving to Fontana again lol. 500+ miles of expansion joints on I-5 was brutal.

Speaking of Spring Nats, if anyone has an open seat (STX open class for Tour, L3 for Pro) I'm definitely looking... let's chat

Or Oscoda L3? Hmmm, I've always wanted to go there...

I feel like such a wimp for towing to FedEx (it's like 40 miles)

Of course most people will tell you the DC beltway is a special kind of hell

FWIW, here's my tentative schedule this year:

April 8 - 10 WDCR Tour
May 20 - 22 NJ Pro
June 17 - 19 Finger Lakes Tour
July 1 - 3 Bristol Tour
Sep 6 - 9 Solo Nationals
Oct 14 - 16 NC Tour

Gonna start the excuses early about lack of seat time the last couple years, underprepared car, wrong tires, etc.

I have both bars for sale, Mann rear with Racer-X endlinks, and an Eibach front bar with Whiteline endlinks. In Spartanburg but can probably arrange transport to Bristol.

That drive is so bad...

Anyways, not going to Vegas. Coilovers still being rebuilt and my F'ng trailer that was supposed to arrive in December is still stuck at port in LA. This season is looking like a complete throwaway.

What are y'all liking for adjustable front endlinks? So far I've gone through Whiteline and RacerX and they've both gone bad. Was thinking about SPL next but wanted to see what all options might be better now?

How are they going bad?

I'm using the ones that came with my ProParts Megans. If I ever replace them, I'll likely build my own.

Passenger side endlink is making a clunking sound when going over bumps. I've tightened the nuts as much as possible but it won't go away.
