Probably not. Their days have been taken by other groups, and there's a good chance that there won't be any type of motorsports at Marina next year. There's always been that possibility over the last few years, but the FAA seems more serious this time. We'll find out Marina's fate eventually.

I was happy to finish 12 of 16 with all the better drivers and better prepped cars I was against also considering it was my first Pro Solo and National event. Too bad the course had so much power emphasis. Hopefully some more technical elements in the tour next week at the tour.

But like Erik said it was so so so much fun!! I wanna do more Pro Solo for sure! I loved the fast pace too.

I started to get some axel click again so I need to replace my axel AGAIN! But it'll survive the tour next week for sure. I might have a co-driver from Seattle next week which would be cool.

It's supposed to be in the low 90's for the Tour, compared to the high 90's to mid 100's for the Pro.

I'm not to worried about it. I have to see if there is a STX legal way to lower the diff/cradle. I'm prob gonna lift the rear of my car up a touch. It's super low which isn't helping me at all.

I'm temped to get upgraded axels but I fear that'll stress something a lot more expensive to replace like thing ring/pinion gears or something.

That has nothing to do with how powerful they are in STX prep. I have no power mods at all. Period. Stock air box. Going against cars with full bolt-ons/tune is tough.

Also when do you do freeway pulls at 30-55pm where most if autoX acceleration happens. FRS and low end torque are like Russia and civil foreign policy. But whatever, apples and oranges are the same thing.
