From what I remember, you used to have to make the A main in a class at a regional race to qualify for the nationals (2008/09 ish?). Not just attend a regional. So it has become much more lax.

The stiffer front springs should give you that harder initial turn in. A softer spring will give more overall, but should tame it at the entry. Also, if you're running the long rear shock bottoms,...

If I remember right, it fit right on, the only grinding was to the back part of it where the ZX5 front upper deck screwed to it. But it was a few years ago. It wasn't that bad of a mod to do at all.

Yeah, on black carpet with the Tamiya tires I had to glue the front sidewalls and and run the wide, 6mm silver hexes. Traction rolling can still come up. Play with how much of the tires you compound.
