Put me down for a possible... I really want to go and test out my newly aquired stage 2... b4 I go pro-tune. Don't know if this is the best weekend though....
if i can get out of work early enough, ill go. last time i was too late and they wouldnt let me run mt car
I like to get there when the gate opens at 6:00. You can get sveral passes in without having to wait.
LOL... we didn't last time, remember? Some kind of computer glich and then a crash right after they started.. Only got 3 runs in total, grrrr...
Damn you expecting alot of me the first time out...I am sure I will be scurred to get out the box w/o breaking my tranny. Oh well good thing I got AAA.LOL
Mike, you got my VM and PM? I"m up for it, I'm trying to get Ped to go. I'm going to leave work at 3:30. I'll need directions to meet you come place.
i want...gonna try go get my axle changed tomorrow morning. I wanna see what this car puts down before it's sold.
Strayen, Borrow someone's auto cross helmet. They have loners there but you have to rent them and they are not always available. Also anybody else going remember that you need to wear long pants or they will not let you run. If we are going to meet up on the way I suggest we do it up by Hamilton Mill road exit on 85. That way people coming across 20 can hook up with us and we can hang out a little before having to take off. If we meet South of 316 on 85 we may never make it.
I don't know who I can borrow a helmet from. Maybe I'll see if they have a rental or not run my car and just watch.
Mike what time are you leaving your house? I gotta fix a crisis at work with any luck I will be out in time.
I work right at Beaver Ruin and 85 so I will be leaving from there around 4:00. I should be at Hamilton Mill around 4:30. It is the exit after the 985 split so traffic is light from there on. When you get off the exit go to the right and we will meet at the first gas station on the left. If you are going to come up and you don't have my number drop me a pm and I'll get it to you.
I ran the new setup when I was down at Silver Dollar. I ran a 12.5 at 118. The trap is enough for 11's but I need to work on my shifting and 60ft's. It was a lot easier to launch my act organic than it is my new 6 puck. I am going to flat shift this time hopefully that will help some too. Last time I also had a major leak around the compressor cover which has since been fixed. 11's or bust!
Guys I want to say I really enjoyed tonights runs at commerce...I think I am addicted. I am pleased with the results for my first time out. I think with some better tires and a bit more experience I can run in the mid to low 12's. Best 2 runs(had problems getting it in 4th all night) 13.421@104.86 60ft - 2.037 13.484@101.39 60ft - 1.982 (missed 4th bad could have been a good run)
Its was great meeting you guys!! I wont post my runs :rofl: but I was 2-0 for the night representing for the Saabarus
Was actually a good night at Commerce. There was only one incident and the staging lanes never made it around the first turn. I guess the weather scared a lot of people off. I got 8 runs in and left an hour before they closed. The downside was that the track was not prepped at all and it was real hard to hook up. best run was the last one 12.31 @ 118.52 with a 1.98 60ft. worst run was a 14.4 @ 109. Got a little sideways on the launch and missed 3rd and 4th
^^yeah if I had kept going non stop I probably would have gotten 10+ runs. Gave up my pants and got 7 runs in.
Rick I hope you had a radar detector cause I was praying we wouldn't get caught going 120. My best was my 2nd run at 13.802 @ 101....something. I've got a long ways to go to getting into the 12s.
^^yeah pulled the X50 out the wifeys car before I left...Normally I would not do such a thing but I think the excitement of the night was still in me. as you noticed I was respectful the rest of the way home.
Great times guys! I'm jealous... figures the track would be empty and flowing good when I don't go, everytime I do, its packed and has many incidents. I feel you on the freeway fun, 2 times ago, Me in my bugeye and a friend in his STI took turns spanking a Porsche Cayman... I know its dangerous/retarded, but your bloods still going and your foots still heavy from the track....
thanks to techlord for giving up his pants i was able to make a couple passes myself. my fastest was a 14.8. for my first time out i guess i am pretty happy. i just need to work on the launch. i was afraid to launch it at to high of a rev because i dont want to break my tranny just yet. with practice i think i could break into the 13s
I thought you were going to get nailed leaving the parking lot. There are always cops around the strip waiting for somebody with too much adrenaline still pumping.
Yea that was a close call. I was at 40 in 3rd and stopped as I saw a bulge over that car. Then I saw him up close and definitely thought I got lucky.
