EMRA's a great crowd, Mike and Julie always deliver a perfect HPDE/Time TRial event.

Low key, low pressure, no big egos, and all fun! I did much of my HPDE & Time Trials in the past 2 years with EMRA, and have instructed with them a few times.

I have mainly moved over to SCCA for racing since my friend Dave has been with them for years. He helped me get a race license and we try to get out to the same events.

I have done Time Trials and HPDE with NASA too, but I really don't think they are as well organized as SCCA usually is. (in the north east anyway)

I have friends who did TT's with EMRA for several years in the mid-late 80's before going road racing with SCCA. I always liked the broad range of cars and driver experience...always made for some interesting events. The last time I ran with them was about 2005, nabbing a 3rd in class with a Passat turbo wagon...3rd of 5 so not exactly a major accomplishment though lol I expect to have fun...no surprise there!

Thought I would just update you guys that the new LCR plates they will fit OEM type suspension, 2.5 springs and 60 mm springs. We have the 1st rapid protypes (SLA's) made last week we will verify fittment and make prototypes out of production material in the next few weeks. We will then test the parts on a few cars on street and track until we feel confident.

Leo, are the new plates going to have independent camber/caster adjustments?
Just wondering what the difference is over my current LCR Street plates.
(Well, I know one of the changes is the bolt head rubbing issue. )
Thanks.
