Hey Guys,
Sunday afternoon I made it down to FedEx Field to watch the SCCA Solo II Auto Cross. I liked the course layout. I saw a red SVT in the spectator parking lot when I arrived. Anyone??

It was pretty bad ass! It was sponsored by Mini of Sterling I believe. There was a new mini running the course. It was pretty neat.

Andy,
Meant to get on the site earlier, time got away from me. That was my red contour, that is if you were driving the silver one? Wanted to ask you about the fit of the tires you are running, 225's? Any problems, my tires are getting really worn and I need some new ones and there is more selection in 225 series than the stock 215 size.
You are right about the course, looked like a ball, I could not register in time but will try for the June event.

John

JJ,
Let me know if you go next time! I'll probably meet up with you. I can't auto-X yet because I can't afford tires but I'd love maybe ride along. Anyway, the Firehawk SZ 50's are considered a narrow 225. At stock height not one bit of rubbing ever and the new EP's have a much better tread wear than mine 320 as opposed to 220. I love them and will never buy anything else. Except for a good allseason or snow for winter driving! I'm spoiled rotten. They do run more than the stock BFG's. IM me if you want more details.

Andy,
Thanks for the info, I am at stock ride height so it sounds like the Firehawks would fit. I will give you a heads up when I go out to race. I will probably run on street tires, it's either racing tires or work on my 85 Mustang GT. So you see the choice I have.
