Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

What class? Stock, SP, SM can run DOT legal R-compound tires. ST classes have to run a tire w/ a tread wear rating greater than 140. The Prepared and Mod classes can run non-DOT legal R-compounds, like drag radials.zaxrex wrote:Hey Katie, got a tire question for you.
I can't seem to find in the 2006_solo_rules.pdf a list of tires & such. My brother wants to know, and I don't know where to tell him to look.

What to Bring?
So based on our experience at the AutoX School several months ago, I feel we should be better prepared for this Challenge.
Specifically, I remember we were in need of a few things that one wouldn't necessarily think of. That and we'd look pretty "with it" if we showed up with the following ready to go:
1) Jack and jack stands - remembering Julian's problem with his sway bar
2) Fold-up table - this would make lunches a lot more comfortable
3) Tent / awning - for protection from sun and / or rain
4) Cooler w/food & drink - probably something for each individual
5) Fold-up chair - again, something for each individual
6) Tools - do we want to start a communal toolbox (like the HR folks) or share our personal tools?
I think I can provide a small fold-up table. Does anyone have a jack and stands that they'd be willing to bring up? How about a tent / awning? Maybe this could be a future DCAWD club purchase?
Thoughts?

Just log into MyAutoEvents.com and change your class, piece of cake right now. So, when are you buy R-comps?GeneralGrievous wrote:We have a pretty decent sized tent we bought to go to the WDCR Solo's this year. I forget the measurements but its a good size and all are welcome underneath.
Katie, how hard would it be for me to change class to ESP since I'm now Stage 2 and catless???

I'm going to be leaving my car up in MD while I take a business trip the next week. Because of this, I am not bringing the trailer, otherwise I wuold pimp it out for equipment transport duty.
Now if somebody else had a trailer hitch, they could drive it back for me. Then we could bring the air compressor, ramps, spare wheels and tires, big coolers, tool chests...
I have recently secured the railings back together so it is more safe.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears

And I have a feeling I'm going to have as much fun watching all of you guys/gals with your tools and such as I'll have driving. ....
