ASP.... the competition... - Page 6

crystalhelix · 03-02-2007, 01:17 PM

yeah, so pittsburgh has like 3 or 4 70+ degree events a year, lol...

my problem is in the run-heats before noon up here, we have 3 runs in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, typically it's colder than that in the morning and it takes 3 runs to get them up to temp..

[quote=Scooby South;17233261]Well...I learned some more things this past week on various cars...

-( A 1967 Vette is BSP...complete with all the trimmings...made an interesting conversaton piece for sure.....the question is ...Who knows exactly what was on a 67 vette from the factory....

....)

- (most cars the have 315+ tires..can't get enough heat in them to work correctly...unless its hot ambient outside..)

Mike Perakis's corvette is a 1968, with all of the right BSP parts, runs 335-35-17's with no problems heating up on any day.

-( a prepped STi can almost hang with a GT3/Z06 from SS and ASP..
(I think thats has alot to do with driver...and am no way saying an STi should go to ASP...neither is an EVO...)

say what? John Tak would have easily won ASP at nationals last year even running first heat. the issue is that the four wheel drive aspect takes alot out of the even playing field when the weather is cool or raining

GSRNick · 03-02-2007, 05:58 PM

Thanks for the tire "keeper warmers" J

I still have them - they are currently insulating my bagged tires from the cold basement floor (and even they are on top of 2x4's). I plan on cutting them down to actually fit.

67.....68...Whats the difference....The whole point of this thread is for us(Subaru owners) to learn what to look for on other cars....to know whats legal or not...I not questioning the legality of Mike's car...but I do want to know what I am looking at...

True that John would have won nationals in his BSP EVO...But that has to one of the best prepped cars in the country...much less for nationals..We'll see how Mr. Berry handles it....ASP is on a whole different level $$$$ wise...for sure...the AWD cars have a advantage in the rain....the snow....and the dry...Thats why we like them..

...now wheather or not its competitive in the upper ranks..is yet to be seen...

When Stompy gets finished...it will probably be the best prepped BSP STi around...theres some others that are up there...and no mines not one of them...I still daily drive my car...never trailered...I drive to the events...and it has to get me home..

...Justins is up there....obviously Brians car from this past weekend is up there....IMO.....

The '67 model marks the end of the 2nd generation Corvette. The '68 model marks the beginning of the 3rd generation. From what I understand, there has been some literature produced about the Corvette over the years, so it probably isn't too hard to do some homework.

sti752 · 03-03-2007, 12:16 PM

I still drive my car every where. But I am a little crazy.

Brian

AUTOwrXER · 03-05-2007, 04:26 PM

I'll probably drive Stompy to events this season including the National Championship. Daddio also drove his SM car to all the events in 2005. It makes it easier to haul extra tires and all your luggage with the car on the trailer, but my car if definitely streetable.

crystalhelix · 03-05-2007, 09:12 PM

Oh yeah, it's new diff time baby...hope everything goes back together the way it came off, lol

ratt_finkel · 03-05-2007, 09:14 PM

Please blur out the "zzyzx" on that pic, OK?

crystalhelix · 03-06-2007, 08:24 AM

Haha...I set the camera on my shelves and set the timer I had no idea what the framing was like...sorry steve...

The car is looking good Justin.

Hmmmm..Berry uses K&W Variant 3's and is now on Kumho's...?????

silver arrow · 03-11-2007, 12:05 AM

EVO's can fit huge meats under those wheel wells. My god.

BlkWRXWag · 03-11-2007, 09:21 AM

I bet you that is a different "Berry". Not the same car.

crystalhelix · 03-11-2007, 12:16 PM

It is not he same Berry, the above Berry was at nationals though, I eeked him out of a trophy by a hair..

ratt_finkel · 03-11-2007, 05:18 PM

Yes, the above pictures are of Mark Berry from the Dallas region. He runs an 03 Evo with an RS front diff, and the is probably ***37;99 prepped. He's run Kumhos for a long time, but ran hoosiers at Nationals. He also daily drives it!

sti752 · 03-11-2007, 08:10 PM

Good to hear that I will have some very good competition in Mr. Berry when I venture to Walnut Ridge. I figure the better the competition the more I will improve from trying to keep up. Oh yeah more then two cars would be nice to have, so BSP needs to step up and make the trip to WR and Huntsville. (ahem, Bill)

Brian

crystalhelix · 03-12-2007, 12:11 AM

I want to know what people were rubbing on their tires the night before the big event at nationals, I noted Berry in a group of people rubbing their tires down with something. I have heard everything from tire softening compound to kerosene.
