I saw you posted on the board then...did you notice someone said they would contact you? STC is a good guy and generally has some decent cars.

Getting on a team with everything already done is probably your best bet.
I will be there, just to watch tho.

Yeah, $500 cars end up costing $3000-5000 to enter depending on what safety gear you need to buy outright. When you factor in tires, towing, other consumables, entry fees it gets pretty spendy...Some teams charge $600/person others up to $1500/person.
Stop by and say hello then!

The old reliable 91 MR2 NA will be back again (though not so much at Miami). The same one we had at Summit Point.
That Pink Unicorn was fast at Miami, but the drivers didn't seem all that well. It would walk past us on the straights but go really slow through the turns.

Kevin, if you guys get that car running right it will be fast on Lightning!
The Pink Unicorn had some mechanical issues (broken shift linkage) that made shifting difficult, if not impossible, which definitely would contribute to the slow in the corners problem...plus it overheated and blew a HG. The drivers were all PCA/NASA racers (not that makes them good, just experienced at w2w racing).
