Eagle - you mean the full K&N intake, or just the dropp-in filter? 'cuz if a filter is your only mod, you're SCCA rule book legal in D-stock. If it's a CAI - yup, STX.

To the thread starter - yup, just have fun. You won't be competitive in SM, so don't worry about points or where you're at in your class, watch how you're doing next to D/G stock and B stock cars for a better comparo, stage II isn't much help in Solo II, lol.

Bring: SUNBLOCK. Wipes for your hands. Comfortable, tight-fitting running-type shoes. Wear pants that aren't very tight. A small, accurate tire guage and a 12v pump if you have one (people will loan you guages and let you use air, but it's easier if you have your own). Some blue painters tape (for numbers, either to make some on the car or hold paper ones in place, depending on region rules). More stuff, but there's the usual "people looking to borrow" list, lol.

Just have fun. Launch easy - the starting lights a few feet from the start, no need for wheelspin. Slow down to go faster - that'll make more sense after a few sessions, lol. The throttle in these cars is NOT on/off, especially with GM2, lol - but you already know that. Brake late and turn in ealry and gradually - smoother is faster. RELAX - that's hard to do, but when you're scrunched up and white-knuckling the wheel, you'll be slower. Look ahead like said before - this is HUGE. You will tend to focus on the next gate - DON'T. Look at least 2 gates ahead - the car goes where your eyes are, don't forget that. And again - just have fun. You'll love it.
