Well my friend with his gtp did what they call the "cable mod". What they do is drill two holes in the frame and tie it around the rear shocks and it keeps the rear up and doesn't allow it to move. So maybe he's thinking of something like that..

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

My old FWD we just tacked welded the rear shock shafts so they could only compress 1/2" :lol:

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

yeah i meant something like what your buddy did.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Not really sure how we'd make that work exactly.. I'll take a look tomorrow while I'm workin on the car.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Brandon shoot me a text tomorrow night/evening about sunday..

Well my cousin is 99% in, but he may just drive himself so he can take off back home whenever he wants to. If that's the case, you could ride shotgun.

^and sing into the mic

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

word! Will do! I wanna see what you can do at the track, as I've never run a dragstrip either..want me to bring my helmet?

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

So do we have someone going with a nice camera that can take some really good vids? I have a video camera but it's a really cheap one..

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Mine is a miniDV that's about 4 years old. It's not too bad, but nothing too fancy. I have a tripod as well.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Well that sounds better then my 100 dollar target video camera with no tripod that can barely zoom. haha

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

I have a decent hard drive camera with a tripod coming out. Although I wouldn't consisder myself a great photographer. Hell it can't be that hard. Shoot the car launch to 1000' and then zoom on the score board.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Yeah shouldn't be too tough I'd think. I'll still bring mine and have my cousin take a little footage as well.

Swifty, you can bring the helmet if you want just in case, but I think Brian is bringing me a spare so you might just end up leaving it in whatever car you drive to Champps.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

I'm not sure if my extra helmet is up to code but they've never checked Snell ratings anytime I've gone out there.

If they give you any shit I'll let you take my brand new one up to show the inspectors so you will pass tech.

I will also be bringing a video camera but it's an old Digital 8 Sony.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

me and britt are going!!! meet you guys in woodbury,

is it the 8418 tamarack village champps?

We will be in a poopy white escort with uber rust that goes 80 tops, so don't drive to fast please....

*correction from britt 85! excuse me!

thats with the needle buried

well we have a size small HJC helmet if your noggin is small, and a black one thats medium or large, but these are full face street motorcycle helmets.

We are going to walmart tonight so, we can pick up a hanna montana bicycle helmet if anyone needs one to race... :) -Britt (Maybe the hulk or xman, or spiderman would be cool, or with MAYDER or Lightning mcqueen)

wow anyway, can't wait to meet some of you guys

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

^I bet you can wait to meet me.

Make sure the helmets are snell 2005 i believe if not they will be a no-go.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

Swifty, what size is yours, and is it snell 05?

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

looking right now..it's a Large, and says snell M2000 on the back.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

RFR accepts Snell 2000 and newer. I believe the ratings are good for 10 years, so next year will probably be the last for that helmet.

Re: RockFalls SC day 05/03
 

really dumb, as I bought it, but never even got to use the fricken thing. It's been sitting on a shelf for like 3 years.
