Toyo Proxes RA-1, is that a slick? Last year they opened it up to Hoosiers and BFG because of tsunami /flooding affected availability.

That's a D.O.T. race tire. Basically a super soft street tire, shaved down to 4/32nds, or 2/32nds if you're one of the fast rich guys.

Yep, basically the RA-1 would qualify as a Sport Tire in FM4.

Looking at the RSX build, and talking with Lainford tonight, it seems that it's missing the Race Exhaust in it's build sheet on the first page. Should make a difference on the long tracks with 18 more HP and 58 less pounds to haul around.

I confirm this. I will also be editing the Pelude build to add some kind of cooling to protect the engine from over revving.

Well, we could divorce it from Camaro-Mustang. It was to accommodate a west coast guy that couldn't do Tuesdays that predicated the move to Monday. Since he won't make Honda Challenge anyway, we could move back to Tuesday for our races. I'd like to move away from Friday/Saturday nights and am often busy on Thursday evenings.

Ok, what's the deal people? 8:00PM Monday or 8:00PM Tuesday?

It makes no difference to me. So far, the only person I know for certain is going to drive is me.

Entry List:

LainfordExpress - 2001 Acura Integra Type-R - #97

I'm in! Deiuxe - #44 - 2001 Acura Integra Type R

I haven't decided what car to choose. I love the ITR, '99 Si, and Prelude. I'll pick this afternoon..

I would say Tuesday just because I may run into a conflict of interest on Mondays. Plus since I just stumbled on this race series it would give me a little more time to set up a car.

EDIT: Decision=MADE

Wanted to say, please note that there is no requirement to use the same car for the whole series.

Also, since we are now officially seperated from the Camaro-Mustang Challenge, I'm going to revise the track list. It won't affect this week, but don't freak out on me when I change up the first page.

Lastly, how do we feel about making the races shorter, maybe 30ish minutes instead of 45, and getting rid of the pit stops?

I'm 100% okay with all of those things.

8pm EST? I can make that.

Since 99 is taken, I guess I'll take 9. That'll be easy enough to fix. Except if I run the Shea Holbrook Civic Si, then it'll be 67.

All proposed changes sound acceptable to me. Glad I don't have to decide on a car in the next 40 minutes and stick with it.

Lainford, could you confirm that the builds on your storefront and the parts listed on the front page are the same. I'm getting PI and/or weight differences, between building the cars and loading the setups from the storefront.

The RSX Type S needs a race exhaust to be right. It's not corrected on the first page yet.

I think the stock wing is also removed.
