What days do SMF run?

Make sure you find the big wheel pro solo, the beergarden (and poutine if you're lucky,) giant beer pong, 4 square, and the trasharita. Seeing 1,000+ cars in paddock is something else. The competition is great of course, but as they say, "It's a week long party with 1,400 of your closest friends, with a little autocross thrown in."

I’ll be running Tuesday and Wednesday. Can’t wait. Hopefully the wife will let me have some fun. Because she’s going. And she’s a non drinker ��

I'm really looking forward to your impressions on that lsd, did your car have the OEM lsd ?

also did you shave your trailing arm? or did the wheel do that for you

Right now I have a Quaife in there. I did that before I started autocrossing. But yes I should be able to get that 3J driveline in there by tomorrow. Have a autocross Sunday so will be able to see how all is going to change. Bad part is it’s probably going to rain😢.
The tire rubbed a little on the hash marks so I grind them away so it would be smooth. It’s a tight fit with those 9” Hoosiers in the back lol

It’s in. Had to file and grind some for clearancing. So that kinda sucked. It was pretty loud at first, that was normal but at the end I was spinning both wheels coming out of turns and not just the inside lol
Improved any not sure yet. Had a battery short on my first 2 runs with a dnf ended up getting my best run on my 3rd actuall run. That was pretty far back in PAX compared to last time at this same event.

I did another event yesterday and was FTD and 3rd in Pax only .007 from 2nd. Definitely can get on the throttle sooner and without inside tire spin. I’m loving it. Other than it sounds like it’s breaking lol when driving slow around pits. So I’m liking my 3J Driveline.

At this last site I didn’t have either. Next week I’ll have the 275’s on. I’m sure there will be no pushing on exit unless I’m just doing something crazy. Yesterday wasn’t planned, so had to drain the trans before I left and get gear oil on the way and put it in there. 2 walks to know where I’m going and figure out everything else at speed lol

Thanks, Alex Piehl said I should be able to pull off mid pack. He got me in PAX this past weekend by .007 for 2nd.

Oh oh and I think Craig Wilcox is running SMF too
