NER.org has local events listed, the pdf's give the costs for most of the events

another i check is sccnh.org, there are probably some mass specific sites aswell, however i dont know them

wow gen thats a bad joke.

i feel dumb. i bought the header the mini presilencer,and the 3 gaskets i would need from racing beat as described on there page last week.a month ago i bought block off plates from them,they dont come with the bolts needed and they dont sell them on there page,i was just going to get some from the store. this is where it sucks for me.

what i got today.
header,mini presilencer,
the 3 gaskets 1 of which is not for my car i guess, tho the site list it for 79-80.
thats what i paid for,but i allso got these.
got the gasket that i needed and another set of block off plates and bolts needed, mind you i had no idea i was going to get these.
i dont know if they figured i mite of placed the wrong order on the gaskets so they told one in. also they dont say any where if you order the header and mini presilencer you get the block off plates for free.

now iam stuck with a set.

What do you want to know? Cost varies by club. You need a car that passes tech and has clear numbers written on the side. Nothing more. Its a good idea to bring some basic tools, tire pressure gauge, food, water, and sun block. Inflate your tires to 40-45psi before you get to the site and work down. You won't be competitive until you have a good few events under your belt. Don't bother taking a day to check things out. Arrive early and just do an event. All clubs are very noob friendly. Walk the course as many times as you possibly can. Be aware, alert, and ask questions. Everyone you meet will be a genuine car guy, so chat with them and have a good time.

i put my 720 secondaries in tonight found a vac line disconnected too

took the car out for a spin on stock maps(besides the secondary map obviously) and the rtek 720 base map makes my car run leaner now above 4k didnt go wot but it felt beastly

btw. my t2 has never broken down since my original blown engine completely blew, like 10,000 miles ago(100% christians fault ) hahaha perty impressive for a t2 running 14psi i must say

My car has broken down once since i got it, but it was my fault. My old t2 broke down about 4 times in the few months i had it on the road.
