I run my s2000 in NASA Time Trials currently in TTC and will be going to Nationals at Mid-Ohio next week, but after nationals I think I will be selling the s2000 and begin looking for a SM over the winter.
Every SM driver I've ever talked to raves about the community and the actual racing being much more fun than other classes they have raced in. I'd like to get into SM because it seems that the race at the back or even mid pack is just as fun as the race at the front of the pack...that and the fact that on any given weekend, you'll have at least a few other cars to race against - a big plus in my book.
Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself so if you see me asking painfully obvious questions, you know the reason why.
Hope to see you all around!

Anyway welcome to SM! It is a one SOB of a group to race in, but IMO the most rewarding when you improve. So much to it, from car prep, to setup, to qualifiying strategy, and racecraft, second only to witchcraft See you at nationals!

also kyle was last in the caveman line and worked himself up to neandertalStarted in NASA Great Lakes in April 2010, I had driven the SM at a few DE's after buying it, having never raced. My first DE in the SM, I curesed myself for ever buying it, I couldn't get that car to do anything I wanted. First race at Mid Ohio I qualified DFL out of 28, was still in DFL at the half way point of the race, and finally I got myself up on the wheel and passed 8 cars in about the last 7 laps or so. The entire first year was a very humbling experience, but within that year I went from DFL to top 5 by years end. I am now glad that I bought that first SM, I have made some really great friends racing, and have met some terrific people, I have had competitors help fix my car, give me parts that i needed, etc. etc. etc.
