    The PSRS (ALK) for your car is completely different than the PSRS for my car. The other brands have failed since they use a bushing. The Perrim piece is a spherical bearing so it cannot wiggle its way out like the other brands. The major downfall is that it is harsh and I can feel every little crack in the road now.

    *IT'S ON!!!*

    That's right, I spoke with the track owner this evening and even though our numbers are much lower than anticipated, he's working with us to be able to run the competitive event. Just FYI, the competition insurance is nearly $1k and the required ambulance is $600. Those costs are what makes a competitive event SO much more expensive than a normal "test and tune." Anybody who's not a registered driver will have to pay the $5 gate fee.

    So we will definitely be having the event and those that want to compete will have the AMB transponders there.

    To rent the transponder will require the $40 transponder fee and leaving you driver's license AND a credit card with the transponder rental people.

    This is great news. If you haven't paid yet, please call TopSpeed tomorrow and pay. If you were holding off registering, pre-registration will still be $30 cheaper than registering at the gate.

    If you have any questions, please PM, text, or call us.

    Thanks,
    Siegel

    If you think you will love it who cares what someone else will think? everyone started somewhere.

    hell I've been autocrossing for 9 years and driven on little tally 4 times and I am still scared I'll make a fool of myself.

    450 wheels. Must be expensive when he needs a tire change lol

    You won't make a fool of yourself. To do that you need to drive a 500whp car with all season tires, shitty hawk street pads and hit 120 on the back stretch ;)



    Seriously though TGP is a forgiving track and a good place to learn. This event is also inexpensive compared to some other track days.

    That was an awesome day! Big thanks to TopSpeed and the folks at Little Tally for a great event. Everyone that missed this should come out for the next one...even if you're gonna spectate or ride shotgun, like me.





    I took too many pictures; I'll post them up when I can.

    what a great day. The weather was beautiful and the driving was fantastic. Too bad I ran out gas at the start of the 5th session. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the next gas station.

    I'm chopping them up as we speak.
    Unfortunately I don't have the hottest lap from the final run - batteries ran out.
    I do have a spin and some with PS fluid spewing all over my windshield.

    I was trying to get some good vid of Doug's car. Unfortunatly we didn't catch him on vid drifting it thru skid pad. It looked awsome watching from behind him! That car sound really mean!
