There has been some talk about running in the "old days" (tires, etc).
Here is some fun info on stock prep in the old days:
1985
$8500 '72 911S Targa (bought in '84)
$500 or less Yoko A001R 195/60/15 (my 1st set of R tires)
$0 wheels (stock Fuchs)
$500 or less Bilstein sport shocks
$50 front sway bar (from my 914/1.7, from a junkyard)
home alignment (still do it at home, you have to if you are serious)
Got 1985 fastest stock time at nationals, 2nd in AS class was a CRX Si.
I hear they don't do so well in AS anymore :-)
(if Scott Stone can come back so can I!).
