Ya I get the whole CRS vs SWRS thing, in that i don't get it.
I mostly was picking which ever events in the CRS had the most stage miles / coefficients . I did notice that there are some folk who would never go to an RA event go to a nasa event go to a SWRS event I have no insight as to their reasons. not sure if some peeps only do SWRS due to the $100-$300 in prizes for the SWRS per event, and the year end cash. also there's a team O'neal gift certificate up for grabs at the end of their series. (that did make me try and get to seed 9 a bit harder) guess i'll hold out 2 hands in my left hand i'll be waiting for rally sanctioning bodies and organizers to all come together in happiness. and uhm let me put this glove on my right hand ... i have the feeling its gonna fill up faster |

That's no secret. Jim didn't pay his sanction fee to RA last year, and they refused to sanction it this year unless he paid last year's debt in full first. That left him in the position of having to pay two years' worth of sanctioning at once, which he didn't have money for. How he managed to get himself into that hole in the first place isn't something I know - I wasn't on the organizing team last year. This year we managed to keep the budget in check. I haven't seen the final numbers on some bills yet, but I think it'll end up enough positive that he'll be able to pay off all but about $1000 of the outstanding bill. Of course that leaves no seed money for next year, but hey. Yes, Mendocino was part of both the CRS and SWRC. Self-righteous douche canoe |

Naw was more referring to Good ol Luther slapping list of complaints on a church door right around the same time as the advent of the printing press... and the beginning of struggles with the naunces of the typed word. |

Oh, dear.....there you open the door to really understanding what's going on here. But remember, that opened to door to over a hundred years of brutal warfare of which the Thirty Years War was a central part But joking or not what Luther started is at the heart of this proliferation of Sanctioning bodies.

They've already won their class multiple times in Rally America and going to be the CHAMPION this year! Ironically I had been trying to get in touch with their South American branch about bringing in some tires. Guess that won't be happening. Grant Hughes |

Evan Cline has been running them this year with really good results. He had some really fast times top 5 over all and lead a lot of SP class rallies with these tires. Im pretty sure he ran all of 100 acre and STPR on 8 soft compund tires and he plans on running LSPR on the same tires. I would think they would last a long time on a decently fast regional car.

Is he still racing? I thought he quit years ago. Yeah, he's a decently fast regional driver so they're probably plenty for someone like him. ![]() Grant Hughes |

Yes he still rallies. He is on the Anders 3 a year program. Not saying he is the fastest guy out there but he is lots faster then most of us running and he hasnt had any issues with the tires. Wasnt trying to be little any body here with my comment its just he has ran the tire and is fast in the usa standards. You dont win regionals by minutes. Finish in the top 10 of nationals and not be a little more then decently fast.
You are correct thow vsc built sp cars with antilag $1800 active diffs 18k susp good brakes and unlimited tire budgets do beat his bone stock 05 sti on some stages by 1sec a mile. ![]() First rally 2013 Rally car type AWD subaru Total rallies as driver 6 Total rally cars built 2 Total rally cars caged 3 Total rally cars repaired from offs 4 Total years racing exp other then rally 19 yrs Like 31motorsports on FB!

Yes, he is a very fast driver. Runs on 93 octane on his stock STI. He's proof you don't need to go crazy to do well in SP.
Anyways, I've talked with him on several occasions about the Maxxis tires and he has said they are honestly on par with BFG's, except much easier to mount without ripping up the bead. Says that the softs are like the BFG softs, while the hards are more of the BFG mediums. Would run 100AW with the softs if it was 40-50*, or LSPR, but anything other than that would be running the Maxxis Hards. My BFG mediums have lasted for the last 2.5 years, maybe 3, on a ton of events. So I think I may be giving the maxxis hard's a shot. I already have a set of BFG softs that are waiting for LSPR or 100AW. |
