I *think* we got all the problems figured out on my car. It should be ready for this event. It will be a good shake down before heading to Cal Speedway for the Redline Time Attack the next weekend and then *potentially* Nashville (holy drive batman!) the weekend after that...

12 months and it includes 6 issues of Grassroots Motorsports.

[fmx_dbc]

Going to Xact Dyno today to get the car tuned and see what it'll do!

[topramn]

what does tech check on a car? how much is it to sign up? i tried looking but didnt find it

check tire life, look for leaks, check the functionality of seat belts, brake lights, helmet.. if you have any concerns, jeremy from ums tuning is the tech cheif and would probably take a quick look at your car if you stopped by.. if its after 5pm, i am usually there and can check it for you if he is busy or something..


registration can always be found here.. http://www.nasaproracing.com/nasa_event/list_events
then click the region you want to drive in.. and it comes up..

[topramn]

for those that i know will ask the question, WE DO RACE IN THE RAIN.. only sissys cant handle water.. ;)

[blk00civic]

tryin to get out their but i dont think its gonna happen damn theives cut my harness so im waiting for a check so hopefully next month gl you guys

[soooofit]

does any1 do suspension tunning? and good alignments?

[topramn]

does any1 do suspension tunning? and good alignments?

well, that should be the least of your concerns until you are out there and have actually driven.. everybody has different feels about their setups.. only you will know if it is tooo loose or to stiff for your driving..

[PhoenixB16]

damn,i must be the man in the iron mask now these days.

[Kinetic]

what does tech check on a car? how much is it to sign up? i tried looking but didnt find it

ramin has a good point you will need run for a little while before you really need to wory about suspension tuning.... BUT there are plenty of people available to help or offer opinions...AND I know of a few places that can perform good alignments

[91cb7h22]

At what time is this all gonna start & do they charge just to go watch?

[Vtecracer]

it is free to come spectate... starts around 6 am till 10 tomorrow i believe

[ek4 hatch]

anyone that didnt go missed out on a great time. they should get out there next time

[woody55]

had a good time out there yesterday. the car finally turns!!! watch out Scott, here I come!

[Kinetic]

i'll post pic on MOnday

[fmx_dbc]

Had a great time. Anyone catch my huge slide into the dirt? I had to re-adjust myself after that. Big learning experience and the car ran excellent.

[ek4 hatch]

dont you hate when you put on sun screen and you miss a spot, thats exactly what happened to me. i have this red spot on the left side of my forehead. lol good times. it was worth going out there watching everyone run.

[jeff@loooseboyracing.com]

i sure had a good time! thanks to all who came out-
i drove the race car to and from the track- ha
saved a grip on gas!

[topramn]

even tho i had all new workers and a slowww safety crew, event was fun.. shenanagins during and afterwards were even better..

[Tage]

I had a fantastic time! The car ran flawlessly the entire event (a first since getting the Kseries). I broke the track record for my class (1:01.7 / previous record was a 1:02.9) too. The car is ready for Cal Speedway next weekend!

[ILIKETODRIVE]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/kineticgsr/0708FIReast/IMG_3120.jpg

AH! That old fucker is all over me! :lmao:

This event could have gone better for me but I didn't do too bad considering it was my first real event in this car, my first time out at East, I had tires made of plastic, AND my first time with a car with any kind of sway bars.

I'll have a better showing at West. I <3 West. :thumbsup:

[SlowCivicHmm]

I need ride alongs @ next event peeps.....I will fail you @ tech!! lol

[ILIKETODRIVE]

dunt failz meh plz

:hi:

[ek4 hatch]

what do you mean ride alongs? plz explain, im a noob

[dantana]

non drivers can get to "ride along" in a car on track, assuming that the driver has passenger permission granted
good way to get a perspective of whats going on out there but often times ride alongs just scare newbs away from getting on track sooner:poke:

[PhoenixB16]

cute pics.

Ride alongs make my pants tight. :hi:

[izerosll]

Event was fun, first time at East and I managed a 1:09.
Tires are corded, wonder if I can tuck some 245's on the 17's.

I knew the car looked familiar man, didnt those HUGE lights act as an air brake down the straight?lol

[izerosll]

Joser,
You saw me like 20 times, just ask if you want a ride along man.
The last run was nice when my tires finally said "screw you" and corded and the spinning began.lol

Yes, 245's will fit. The KSport ITR/RSX has a set of 245/40-17 Hoosiers under the stock bodywork.

[ek4 hatch]

[BlueTeg]

In that case you can also check out UPR in Tempe, they have a good selection of helmets approved for HPDE/RR

[ILIKETODRIVE]

I want to take my plate off, put my helmet on and fly through the 101 speed cameras.
