I'm heading out to SD for the SD Tour in March and my ride went and found a co-driver for the year... bumping me out of the seat (DSP BMW). Can't blame him really... tires is tires. He said I could use the car in SM if I wanted... but where's the fun in that?

Anyhoo, if there's someone out there that wouldn't mind having a co-driver in their 8 for the SD tour for BS, let me know. If not, I'll still run the BMW in SM, so I'll still have a ride when I get out there.

On that note...if anyone knows anyone that wants/needs a codriver in any car/class for the SD Tour, I'm looking (or will be as the date gets closer)...

Have you considered posting your request to SCCA Forums and/or S2000 International? The latter's grown to encompass many non-S2000 drivers, not that getting a ride in an S2000 would be a bad thing.

Well if they have an 8, how come they're not here?

Okay, what is the SD tour.. <-- still a rookie here

Imp

San Diego Tour.

philodox

Ah.. gotcha.. a bit too "west coast" for me.. heh.. it's a bit far from NJ

Imp

It's March... in sunny San Diego.... and auto-x.... a month before it starts up here.

No better place to work out the kinks from the winter. :D

philodox

There is a winter series in Philadelphia, PA. I may go to an event or two there. Nothing like autocross in the snow

I'll be running the San Diego tour in my B Stock RX8 but I'm not sure I want a co-driver. Ask me again in March (its a bit early for such plans).

PedalFaster

Many of us already have our Nationals codrives lined up -- Nationals are in September. :p

Imp

Yeah. no kidding! I'll most likely have a local co-driver myself who might do some national events.

Never too early to plan for such things. :D

clyde

I left my co-driver around here somewhere...

typerr

I understand. I used to be that way myself. I went to Nationals from 1994 thru 1999 and have three trophies to show for it. Lately I've favored tropical vacations over Kansas....go figure! :D

I'm just getting started with the RX8. I've got two Hoosiers in the garage, two more on the way plus a set of stock wheels off ebay.

Yep, set for the season, thanks clyde

Though if you move to connecticut at least I have SM, ASP and SM2 backup rides :p

Imp

SOOOoooo any takers? :D

clyde

Looks like I found a ride. :D

Not sure what car it will be in, though...

Probably a 1988 BMW 325is which is would be bone stock if it didn't have polyurethane bushings, so STX.

Dark horse possibliity is a CTS-V in AS...with the OEM run flats. :o

My codriver is a trackday junkie that has never done an autocross, never seen an autocross but thinks that autocross driving requires no skill and autocross drivers are unable to become skilled because ~1 minute of seat time at a time isn't long enough to develop skills. I figure that I probably have no shot of better than midpack in either class, but the point is to teach this guy a lesson.

(I just better not lose to him )

PedalFaster

Maybe your codriver's just a slow learner. :p

clyde

I hope that he doesn't get lost on course.

fastmike

Take him as a passenger at the practice course...that'll wake him up.
If you go fast enough, he might beg for his life.

Anyone? Registration just opened...

PedalFaster

Ok, online registration's been open for several days now, yet there isn't a single RX-8 registered to run in the open class. Am I going to have to start making fun of you guys? Are you going to just let us German car drivers run away with B Stock this year without even putting up a fight?!? :D

Imp

Steve,

Atlanta Pro is the 1st East coast event. We live on the right side of the county since Bananananie went and got herself a Honduh. She was our only hope for a well driven west coast 8. :D

Dark8

Scared me right out of BS into STU! I'm no competition for you guys anyway. :D

Imp

Just noticed a co-driven one for the El Paso tour....

Anxiously awaits results.
