Anyone know if they'll let me data log while the car is on the dyno? I just RSVP'd to the event and for $50 at 3 pulls - I can't pass that up.

Back from the dead bump: According to NPR this weekend, this bill has either passed the house committee or is up for a vote in the house - sorry I didn't pay close attention to the story. Anyhow, it is up for a vote if it does pass committee (which I think it may have) - so keep those emails coming.

Everyone in the thread seems to think this law passing or failing will be left up to chance or an ambiguous "they". Let me remind you that everyone should call or write their representative to make sure it passes, because "they" are very normal and reachable people.

I agree with the above points, however: We elect the house of representatives - not the police. So if we can get the public to support the issue it is irrelevant what the police want. I know this is a stretch, but this is how the "system" works. Please just take the time to write and email or make a phone call - I've provided all the links to make it easy for you!

Sorry for the bizarre title, and I hope this isn't a repost but I am going on a bit of a campaign for this because it just makes sense to me. If you disagree with me, you are wrong Please contact your representative and ask them to support Ohio House Bill 133. The bill advocates FOR a Single License Plate in Ohio. If it passes, we will no longer need those unsightly front license plates. This is a $0.00 cost to the state and could possible REDUCE the cost of your license plates since you will only need to pay for 1 plate instead of 2. I have provided all the links you need to read about the bill, look up your zipcode +extension and to contact your local representative.

+2 to realizing that a class inspection would be a huge PIA and not practical. Thanks for that note as I hadn't considered it. Mostly minor stuff, like lowering springs, coil-overs adjusted lower than stock, rear sway bars, strut braces, performance headers. Nothing that is adding monstrous power but after you lace a few mods together, you can start to eak out a pretty large advantage. This is sage advice. Though, I'm also totally new so I could be in the wrong so I don't want to say anything. Also, I don't think I'm hugely competitive so I'd end up being that guy for nothing. Just to recap: In RTR you can mod front sway bars, cat back exhausts, remove anything not affixed with a permanent fastener and change out to adjustable struts - yeah? Like I said, I could be totally off since I'm also new.

I could really tell the difference between my driving at the fun event for the first time EVER versus my driving after the driving school and in the points day 1. Did anyone race in RTR? I noticed LOTS of mods that the SCCA lists as not RTR compliant but no one at tech called out. I'd like to make the same similar mods but feel dirty doing it. So dirty, yet so good...

Ah shoot, I should have asked who was from the forum at the event. Only guy I remember is Jones. I was gridded up next to you in the black... rough... Miata. Jones: Any thought in getting some track tires and putting all that power into the pavement? It was fun as hell watching you launch. I'm looking forward to OVR posting the results.

If I was not in Jamaica I would be there. Just got car finished in time for the season to be over, but networking can happen year round.

And if anyone is interested there is a meeting on Monday April 16th at 7:00 to go over the Rally schedule. Meeting address: Morones Italian Villa at the corner of Bethel and Godown Rds.

It's actually a dollar. Really, it is $1.62. $1.62 x 50 people = 81 dollars. 81 dollars easily = hot dogs, chips and drinks for 50 people. Maybe with some food you trolls could be happy and fed. Regardless, we can stop talking about it since Angry Bird already mentioned the fee is worth the hassle.

Some call it cheap, some call it smart. Ignorance is the enemy of progress. I'm just trying to explore other options so that someone doing all the hard work can be rewarded, instead of an online ticket counter. Actually yes, I would rather pay Anthony the fee. I don't mind paying a fee. I hate that someone outside of the event and group is getting money for doing nothing. It isn't the fee that bothers me. I disagree with the principle of paying someone for nothing. It goes back to the the idea of buying tools and not labor - which I think everyone can agree with. Obviously, it isn't possible so there we go. And if this does indeed make life easier then it is paying for something. So: /rant.

Is there a way pay and not pay the "fee"? I know it is a small expense, but I just hate paying a web broker to register for an event. They don't even print out a ticket for your fee. It's just the middle man charge. /rant

If I can get my car in time, I'll be driving there from Connecticut, which is 637 miles or about 10 hours If not, I'll show up on my bike for the 2nd half of the day @ about 20 minutes drive.

Did anyone elese pickup that this is a fully worked MR2 in a Lotus shell?
