I'm hoping to compete with Abe this year after my new BRZ shows up. He said those cars are faster than you on straights. Well, Abe's car will certainly be faster than mine in the corners, so it'll be an interesting year.
Bummer to hear about the bent wheels. I bent an EC-7R going off at Buttonwillow. It got replaced, fortunately, but after that wheel orders were for models that were not going to be discontinued.
And it sucks to hear about people not gridding properly. That happened all the time here for a couple years. Fortunately we got a new TT director a year ago and things seem to be getting cleaned up. I'm really hoping that's not a problem here this year. It's such a simple thing to get right, yet so many people get it wrong.

Yeah, I think I sent Abe over some data - not sure if he forwarded it on to you. The short and sweet is that one of my friends that runs 5 ran a first gen moved on to a 22 GR last year. 17x9 / 255 RC1 / MCS 1way / etc, no power mods except a catback.
I'll see if I can dig up the AIM overlay of our data that I made, but on the longer local straights (~110mph) the GR has me by a few mph by the end. Second gen is such a great car, I think you two will be pretty evenly matched in 5 with the usual mods on your car
The gridding thing wasn't a huge deal, I just let the stress get to me. Arizona events are usually pretty mellow in TT since we split it into two groups and everyone is friends with each other.
