so as SonicBoom has posted. this is our last chance to go to the drag strip for a few months. theres going to be alot of people there. i know import atlanta and few other local forums are planning a trip up there also. so lets try to rep wrxatl out there fellas and get a good turn out. so as SonicBoom stated so well in his thread. "C'mon guys....lets do this... come and watch if you don't want to race!" we're meeting up in the bass pro shops parking lot at 6pm Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World 5900 Sugarloaf Parkway Lawrenceville, GA 30043 we're gonna grab a quick bite to eat and head on up to the strip from there members going miloman bambooi (maybe) Genya jt money Alex Weapon wrX (hangin at Disco Mills for a bit) spaceman GTscoob (maybe) lostinthewoods (maybe) wrxwrc
opps i guess i miss read. i thought i was for the 18th. oh well. im still goin and have a few peeps goin also. so if i have your name on the list and you cant make it let me know sorry bout the confusion.
damn lost another one. so i took everyone off the list from the other thread so check in if you can make it.
It's looking like a go for me so far... I wonder if its going to be as busy as it was last Friday. That kinda sucked getting there at 7 and only getting 3 runs in. How far is the meet spot from the track? My suggestion is that we meet and get up there early, hang out and get some grub there, and be ready to race when they open... There is just no possible way to get there thru traffic during rush hour.... I'd like to get there, get 3 or 4 quick runs in, watch for a couple hours and get a run or two in b4 we go. The last two times I went, I just ran, got back in line for an hour, ran...etc... It took Ped 3+ hours to get there and Rolling_Trip almost as long from the south side. So to me, 6pm doesnt seem realistic... my guess is we'd be waiting in the Bass shop parking lot 4ever. Just something for you guys to chew on...
most of the people on the list arnt racing. so if you dont wanna caravan thats cool. we can meet you up there. being thats its the last night of the season im sure it will be busy. track closes at 11 i think but you dont have to stay the whole time. if you meet up with us for the caravan youll get a few hours in before you have to leave. i would love to see the suby in action after the trans swap.
sonic: i get out of class at 4pm downtown... plus i believe some of the others might not get out of work until 5... 6pm is probably the earliest some people can meet up
Yeah...I understand that... All I was trying to get across is that if your coming from Atlanta, any route you take is jam packed during rush hour. I know I could not get there at 6.. For me I'm either going to go early are get there around 7:30.
its gonna be packed i bet....i would definatly go but im going to athens. We will go again in the spring for sure.
fri at 6 you say? i get off work at 5pm so ill come by and eat with everyone after work. Not gonna go to the track though.
Alex, traffic on a Friday night really sucks.... Add me to the list of punk-outs, I have a good reason though. After 2 weeks looking at my baby with damage from where that ass-hat hit me, I'm taking it Friday morning to get fixed. Dude's insurance is going to cover it, along with a rental car(which I'm sure will be a 110hp Cavalier that I can't fit into).... So, I'll have to catch the next one when the track opens up again.
looks like im probably gonn have to meet you guys up there, doubt ill be able to make it to DM by 6ish, its a hell of a hike up there.
yes you do :wavey: :wiggle: ill give someone a call on the way up so as to make sure you fellas didnt leave early or something.
Have fun guys, I'll be sitting here mopeing in my Pontiac G6 rental car.... Counting the days till I get my Subie back
sorry guys i was planning on meeting up for dinner at DM but the subi wont crank i think my batterys dead. hoe well hope you guys have fun and be safe.
I want to go but I dont know hwow to get there?? Anyone cal me ans let me know ans how long will you guys be there until?? Milo call me and let me know!! NUmber is 770-714-8455 Josh
12 seconds!! damn!!! I thought RollingTrips and Ped's 13.2 was great.... anxious to hear more #'s.. 1ll-wrx, the G6 isn't the GT(or whatever the top model is) but it's suprisingly nice. The engine has some go, but is handicapped by a dog-shit automatic... the suspension is nice and stiff and the brakes are better than my WRX even with Bobcats and SS lines... I wouldn't buy one, but its ok...
I'll let Genya update his times. But I'll give you a hint. It's better than what milo posted earlier. I managed a new best of 12.400@113.13. I didn't see any other Subarus there besides me and Genya. Those who didn't show made a wize choice. It was very cold and crowded. Mike K
Well the best slip from the evening looked like this: 60' 1.850 330 5.161 1/8th:7.809 MPH:92.33 1000:10.083 1/4:11.96 MPH:120.77 Im positive it has a 11.6-11.8 in the car, but wanted to end on a good note Had fun seeing everyone! It was freezing! Id type more but im exhausted. and frozen.
Thx guys, Im glad its finally done Thanks to you all for support, topspeed for the fine tune, and the wife for hanging in there lol. Now to relax and just enjoy the car for a while.
