Get *everything* done more than a few hours before the track this time

Two-step at 4am is sillyness!

Swifty1638 · 08-06-2010

that is all done. Just put it back together once coating is done, and retune, just to be safe.

Atta boy

It's cool lomker; I started this thread because I've been in the scene for waaaayyyy too long and never done any of this, just had a fast/fun DD. I'm just glad I was able to do everything I have so far this year despite a disappointing springtime incident

Swifty1638 · 08-06-2010

Yea, really. You've come a LONG way over this year..who knew! You fucking flipped/trashed/totalled a car (I saw it again 2 days ago) and already not only bought a new one, but raced, autox'd, dragged, and modded it! PROPS!

I'll be doing some 1/8th mile for sure, and if I get the time down that I want I'm going to try and run a 10.X at either BIR or Rock falls in September.

You need a build thread btw. When is your car done?

Haha, I was thinking about a build thread. But heh, I'll attempt to stay modest.

Don't know on the ETA, rumor has it I'll be able to hit the drags by the 28th (last chance to hit the 1/8th before the 1/4 in september). DB is boss, they'll handle it.

Like I've said, if you're quiet then nobody will know you're an idiot. I fail.

I just found a lapping day at Road America Oct 16,17. My only problem is that I bought a motorcycle helmet instead of an auto helmet and this outfit is pickier about ratings. <sigh>

311evo · 08-06-2010

Haha, that wasn't a jab at anyone at all. I just don't usually feel like posting up all my stuff. :P maybe in the future.

You are welcome to borrow my helmet that weekend.

What size do you wear? I'm in the big head club. XL in this Joe rocket.

What's a good helmet that's reasonably priced? The ones that I saw on Soloracer seemed pretty expensive (2-3x a motorcycle helmet).

It's a large, but I probably could have went with a medium. If you're going to be around somewhere sometime let me know and I'll bring it with. My HJC motorcycle helmet is also a large but fits more snug than this.

Bumpski,

Anyone up for some drag racing? I wanna try it, never done it, lets go!

Btw.. Signed up fpr the BIR school on the 20th so I will have tracking my car, autox, and hopefully drag doen by the end of the year! Oh Yeah! Trifecta!

Rock falls has:
September 11/12 -- $69 Test Day
September 18 sport compact
September 25 -- Saturday Fun Race

October is dyno days and cruise, kinda busy busy.

simulatedwood · 08-10-2010

The September 11/12 looks very attractive.

What days would get us the most runs down the track?

I mean, what day will likely destroy my clutch in short order..

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 08-10-2010

Test days will get you the most runs by far, but they cost more. You will get a decent amount on the sport compact days too, but the traction will be the worst. The bracket race days will have better traction, but the most cars and a lot of time will be for bracket racing. The Fun Days are usually in between the bracket days and sport compact days as far as number of cars and traction.

311evo · 08-10-2010

^great info, a test day would be prime. 2nd choice being sport compact day.

**scheides** · 08-10-2010

Anyone else wanna rally around Sept 11th? We could pay our respects to those fallen and the twin towers by doing what we love most: playing with cars! $69 is a lot but I'd love to get a couple runs with this clutch and the new turbo. maybe I can gun for a 13.0?

**mlomker** · 08-10-2010

I'm down. I'll shoot some video. Dave can give me a ride there. lol.
