Thanks for the detailed update! Reading about all these clutch and tranny problems reminds me why I've never launched the car. I've got enough issues without it. lol.

I can not wait to see what comes out tomorrow, it sounds like a few people had a good day at the track at least. I wonder how Ryan did on the Road course?

Yeah, it's called on concrete wall. Only cosmetic damage, spent an hour or so on the course afterwords.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope the damage won't be too expensive to fix. I am always slightly worried about this happending to me. Which area did it happen at?

Over-steered trough turn 7 and hit the wall (with the left rear tail light) on the outside of 7/8.

As for fixing, well a new chassis only runs $1K or so and might be a decent way to go, since the rest of the car wasn't exactly spectacular in the first place. Or the easier option I'm leaning towards is a hammer, a little bondo an a few new parts. Just need to decide if I want to continue my efforts of making a Grand Touring car a car that turn or not. If I go with a new chassis I won't be gutting it.

Wow, sounds like there's some decently fast cars there. Sucks to hear about so many people having tranny/clutch issues. Hopefully everyone is staying dry tonight!

bramagedained · 06-27-2010

Yep, if MAP does this again next year I'm going to go AWOL if I have to. Last year I had training, this year I'm in Afghanistan and next year=?? Though that will be a long ass drive as I'm trying to get stationed in Maryland

Speedfreak · 06-27-2010

Thanks for the updates guys. Please do the same on Sunday as it looks like I am not making it out there like I had planned.

**v8klla** · 06-27-2010

The rain has stopped, the dryers are on the track and the rest of the day shows lots of sun, we should be up and running soon!

**scheides** · 06-27-2010

Breakfast has never tasted so good.

French toAst, beer shits. Nuff said.

^Gross. WEather was complete horse shit down here last night, it sounds a lot better up there.

I am def. game for next year I will try and make it for sure the whole weekend.

Thanks for the updates everyone.

A lot of cars with a lot of issues, I hope everyone does better today.

Bryce go represent 16g powa!!!

**scheides** · 06-27-2010

Trevor is rippin it he just ran another 11.5 @125, Bryce is reppin the stock turbo with a 12.2@114mph. Ron@RS ran a 11.05 and got warned, thengave up his slicks to Tuley, who bogged a bit and went on to run a 10.05. I helped Kevin Smigh from Fargo make the tiniest of changes to his 6262 evo8, he went from running 12's to a 10.8@130 then a 10.67.

Spaz is bragging to no end and happy as a clam, running consistent 14.2-14.4. 98gsx is running in the 13's with issues (talonfiero's old car).

Zwifty and I are broke, brandon ran a few runs but I think he just broke something driveline related, spider or something.

311evo · 06-27-2010

Wow, looked like some car's picked up speed today. Did map's evo break into anything yet?

**goodhart** · 06-27-2010

Wow, sounds like lots of good times. Anyone see what Josh with the maroon Dodge diesel ran? I know he has gotten some low 10's this year while having waste gate issues.

I think he was the truck with turbo (or wastegate) issues. They couldn't get it to spool up properly.

Probably one of the best weekends of the year so far for me!

You know it was good, when people have to tell ya the next day what you already forgot

I had alot of fun, met alot of people, ran some boggy 13's. Next year I think I'm staying though. Driving back n forth FTL!

Constant_Project21 · 06-27-2010

Was a great weekend!!! Took some jäger shots with jim, shiedes, and trevor last night, then managed to almost get myself arrested due to my drunkass friend trying to wrestle me. My sincere apologies go out to the MAP guys that had to break that up lol. Had a great time guys!!
