That is some horrible advice. Just about as bad as street tires being slower the R- Comps.If you feel slow, stop working on the car, and drive it. It seems like you guys are changing something every month, which can be fun, but you lose your consistency in the car, because it will react differently at every event. You need to do your changes in the off season, use the test n tune to get it where it's comfortable, and leave it for the season.
You're basically jumping into a different car at each event, which will really throw you for a loop(BNE) every time. Nail down the mods you want for the season, and stick to it. You'll be surprised how much faster you'll get when you don't change something every week. Our SM bmw guys were doing what you're doing for a while, and they finally chilled out, and are now getting faster and faster, and much much MUCH more consistent.
Autocross is 90% driver, 10% car. Focusing on driving will always be more important than the car.
Just because it's a cliche saying doesn't mean it's not true.
you guys are fighting about driving around cones in a parking lot....I consider kart racing more serious...
Reminds me of one of my friends from my days in STS...drove an Integra on the baldest Azenis ever, and usually did well. They had zero tread, slicker than slick, not even a tread inspecting dimple.My go to story about this kind of stuff is a guy in our region named Chris, drives an 89 integra, bought it brand new, put some konis on it, and some azenis...

I'm going to try to get another driver into my car before the end of the season. There are some non-SCCA events offering 8 runs a day, so I'd like to see what someone faster than me can do in my car.
Rather Peter than Pete, Pete is faster, but Peter won't smoke my tires. And then there's Pete, RACE TEAM'S fastest driver.ICE BURN... you should try to get Pete to drive it. hes pretty quick.
It's almost as much fun as besting the times of others in their cars.
