The 2008 rulebook says snell 2000 is an approved helmet. So hey bring it just in case man.

Swifty1638 · 05-01-2009

Will do.

I just looked and my extra helmet is DOT/Snell 95

Do you still want me to bring it Brandon?

**Halon** · 05-02-2009

Brownman is not going to race, and he's letting me use his. So I think I'm set helmet wise. Thanks anyway though dude.

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

I can still bring mine if needed..t-minus..like..3 hours...shit, I need sleep!

tehehodi · 05-03-2009

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

tehehodi · 05-03-2009

ya, not luggin our big ass grill, anybody got a foreman?

**Halon** · 05-03-2009

What a fuckin awesome time. We had a great group of people out there today, what maybe 20 people total?

For a first track experience, this was nothing shy of awesome for me. Really nice to have some veterans there to show me the ropes, give me pointers, etc. Big thanks to everyone who helped me.

Quick rundown of my day:

Ran a few high 13's at first while dealing with clutch slippage, and missing gears while shifting.

Then ran a mid 12 as I started to get the hang of things.

Then had a run that just went together pretty well compared to all the other passes, and ran my best run of the night (I'm on the right)

Didn't get kicked off, didn't even get spoken to about the run

So got back in line hoping to 1-up that run, but the next two runs the clutch was slipping the entire time.

But I'm really excited about an 11.2 for my first track experience, ever. Should be able to knock a few tenths off that with some more time under my belt.

Elite had an awesome car there, that nearly got kicked off after the first pass!

OK that's enough from me. I'm just real happy with how everything went, and can't wait to do it again ASAP!!!

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

Hopefully, you and I can line up once my shit get's sorted out. Thanks for letting me ride with.

TalonFiero · 05-03-2009

Brandon, awesome MPH! That thing will be deep into the tens with a clutch and a better launch. Good job on first trip to the track.

Here's a crappy video of the 11.22 run. It's best to watch it in high quality and full screen, but you can barely make out the numbers 11.22.

The sound cuts out for a second due to the zooming in. Don't know why, but it's not a great camera.

You definently have a 10 second car. Just have to get the car to launch good. Was great meeting ya, you have one very nice car.

Also, here are the only two pics I took. It was honestly sad how many raddy-ass smoky hondas were there.

**Halon** · 05-03-2009

Loading it right now, can't wait to see it.

Funny because everybody got my shitty passes on camera, but my 1 good run no-one recorded it. So this is the only video, crappy or not. I'm just glad someone actually got it!

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

Ya, I kinda really hate honduhs now, not gonna lie. atleast those loud-ass corollas those mexicans drive weren't there.

Those two early 90's sentras were impressive though. They were all motor I think both in the mid 13's. Clean nice looking cars.

Did you see those two 15 second hondas both snap their axles at the launch? Like, both at the same time!

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

yes, then the one jackass rolled half way down the track towards us, instead of stopping, prolly putting down trans fluid all over, and making the removal only last that much longer..

Yup. Man, I could go on all day about some of the idiots there. There were a few who were more so burning out through 1st and 2nd than actually launching. But who am I to talk, I've never been on the track.

GsXtUrBo98 · 05-03-2009

Had a blast!!! I think that brandon should go back down on the 31st and we should get even more ppl to at least come and spectate! I sat in the stands and and watched and it was a great time.

Swifty1638 · 05-03-2009

if my damn car will be together by then, I'm totally down for going. This month, the 31st?
