I just moved to Austin from LA a couple months ago, and I’m in the (long) process of getting the car setup for spec e30. I’ve briefly toyed with the idea of running KP instead, but the extra cost involved in car setup and this video:

pretty much convinced me to stay with my original thoughts. I was trying to watch other car development in Cali, and it seemed very slow to start but seems like it’s starting to grow now. Just finished the CCA race school at MSR last weekend, hopefully racing within a year or so. I think if we can get a couple cars underway more will follow - I think there were only one or two KP cars in the national o’fest CCA race, so it’s not like there’s a big contingent there either as far as I know.
