New Goodies ordered (project cheap autocrosser)
Well project cheap autocrosser is getting some new toys!!
Just ordered some new Tokico Illumina's and some RE-Speed Camber plates!!!
Doing some freshing up to the car and will be buying some new Hoosier A-6 tires to replace the old A-6's on my car.
I will go with some RE-Speed coilovers in the summer....
Funny how "project CHEAP autocrosser" is not turning out to be so CHEAP!!!

They all start out that way, but then you get to thinking, "Hey, if I get this part then I'll be able to shave 2/10ths of my lap time." And then the process just repeats over and over until your dirt cheap car becomes the most expensive thing you own.
Only needed a new brake light switch

The May race is a good one, but not one of our best lots. Not bad, just not that great. The race on July 2/3 is a very nice lot, and an event that I would recommend over the May race (unless you can make both). Either way, you'll have a blast. 
At these weekend long races I usually have people from out of town camping in my backyard. It's very private, large (an acre, which is huge in the city), and like my own personal park. We've even got a bonfire pit that we put to frequent use.

I'll be making out to at least one of these races, providing I don't over tighten the wheel bearings again. I've got a lot of sorting to do before I get any racing in.

I've got a short shifter and RE-Speed Camber plates ready to go in. I'm waiting for tax return $ for the struts and shocks and new wheels. The Nebraska Region SCCA has dates but not all places confirmed.

If anyone is interested in going to Nationals and wants to check out the surface, any of the events at LAP(Lincoln Air Park) are a great way to get some practice time. Check out nrscca.com for more details as time progresses. The events not at LAP are usually at either Lincoln Southwest High School or the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
