almost new...class question

Post by grazamataz » Mon May 03, 2010 11:43 am

Hey all, I have done this once (August last year) in my old Mazda3 hatch, but since then I have purchased a Mazdaspeed3 and I'm eager to take it out on the course.

everything is stock except the wheels, and they are .5" wider than stock so it bumps me up out of DS but i am not sure which i go into...is it STU?

the MS3 has a factory 2.3L turbo engine.

thanks and i am looking forward to the 16th!

Yep, STU is the place.

Of course, as you mentioned, you are a wheel swap away from DS. 8)

great, thanks!

i don't have my stock wheels any more, eventually i may try and find some 18x7 wheels but for now i know i'm not going to be competitive anyway so i'm not too concerned with which class i'm in :D

also, one other question, what's the best place in/around springfield to find a helmet? price is a factor too.

Having fun first is the right attitude to have. 8)

For a Snell-rated helmet, check out Gene's Gallery on Chestnut:
