what does that meen . sorry new to this stuff

Already signed up!

what's the guest group?
Just picked up some rims for my slickers so I'll be tryin them out for the first time. I just hope I don't run into issues with the tires rubbing the fenders. I plan to be there!

I'm in...See you guy's in September at PIR!!! Hopefully it will be a little cooler by then...

ugh......will the car be done in time?? aghhhh!!!!! :pulls hair out:

Been signed up! :thumbsup:

Racing both days. Trying out the cool suit for the first time, hope it works as it will still be plenty hot out in early Sept. Now I just need to loose 80 lbs from the car to make min weight.....

PIR....yay


Doing an event all day in the September heat....boo

Last I heard, the guest group was EuroTuner Magazine. But not sure if that has changed or not.

EuroTuner? Are they testing out some cars or is it personal cars out there? If they will be having some nice high end cars out there, it might be worth going to watch them tear it up!

If not, then they are wasting my Sunday track time!:devil:

Hope i can make it :(

you better make it Rhett....that would be 2 **cough** new cars at the track....

I want my new transmission...boo. Gosh I spend too much $$$

Not sure if I'll be there running, but def be there for tech and for hanging out!!

how come the events cant be 30 days apart. hard to come up with the money. thought i had time and bought wheels. this sucks now im a "hard parker" i think you guys call it. hopefully i can get my dad to give me an advance because i work for him. haha one benefit to working for family. i hate having to work for money already spent. but i have to go to this i said i was going to the last one.

eurotuner is supposed to be doing euro shootout.. kinda like what modified did in may.. again, not sure if thats still taking place.. i will post correct info as soon as i know for sure..

umm.. 27 days is pretty damn close to 30.. stop buying stuff and just drive.. plus the schedule for the entire year has been up since last november.. no reason to not know when the events are... 2009 schedule should be available to the public in the next month or so..

budget...YAY!!

There for sure.Driving? Doubtfull.

what? nevermind.. i got it..

Never said it wasnt my fault. Rims are bought and your right it is 27, but last two weeks went by fast. i am by no means rich yes i have a mom and dad but i work for every single thing i own and or do. i am giong to try my best to get on track but i have to pay bills or else i have nothing to track with. wheels were a stupid move but car had 18 lbs 16's made by asa- had to go plus new ones have been bought. im going to not put tires on them i think and use that money to run with my current wheels then put tires on between next event. purpose of previous post was to point out i made a mistake. i want to run.

Have you done track events before? I thought I remember you saying that you had some track time under your belt. (???)


^ Check these out. Perfect for your situation. Why?
1.) They're very affordable. You'll spend $400+ alone on wheels before shipping or tax.
2.) They're 8" wide. So you get a nice fat contact patch
3.) Aside from Hoosiers, 710's are the next stickiest tire. Sure the tires are old, but they'll grip way better than any street tire, and for the price you shouldn't expect them to perform like new. This tire/wheel combo would cost you $1000+ if you bought brand new
4.) Small overall rolling diameter means that you can run a wide tire without worrying about the tire rubbing on your fenders. More importantly this tire/wheel combo gives you similar gearing to adding a JDM ITR final drive. Those of you that have driven on this combo can attest to the acceleration they will add (I think only Tage and Jose, but still. LOL)

The only 'con' I can see is:
I do not recommend them for your first time out. I'm a big advocate of learning to drive on street tires until you're ready for DE3. Because of the high level of grip R-compounds have, it can hide some mistakes that you may make as a beginner. I drove on street tires for my first 2 years in the DE program.

If you're not ready to make the financial commitment to them. You can rent them for $30/day or $50 for the weekend. If you decide to buy them within the next 25 days after the event, I'll apply the rental fee to the purchase price. But please, keep in mind that it really is best to learn on street tires before making the jump to Rcompounds so if you decide to buy them, you many want to sit on them for a bit before using them religiously at the track.

ya i have been on a track 2 times . my dad rented FIR west a while back. then i ran on spring mountain for a 2 day event and got like literally 4 hours of track time altogether in the 2 days . so point im making is yes i have been on track but maybe only 5 hrs so i want to stay on street tires for now. i bought some buddy clubs they will be here tuesday. if i run though i will still be on my 16 asa's which sucks. becasue i cant offord tires for the buddy clubs and to run. i might say fuck it and sit this event out till i get the tires so when i start im completely ready. i can already tell this is an expensive sport. im runing the next auto cross for sure though.

reason I haven't fully commited to buying them...grr....lol...if not MINE! i know i've said it before...

hey gabe I might rent them again if you have them still closer to the event, the hatch needs maintance 1st before I commit to driving......fyi..

Don't sit out cause you're waiting for tires. Come out, go through the DE1 school and that way when you get your 'good' tires you'll have already run the track once and have been through the school portion.

Trust me, unless you're running 175/75/13 snow tires, the tires you have on those 16s will be more than enough to provide some grins around PIR.

He's tracked with us before Gabe.....

Bald dude, Silver DC5 out at West with us this month...

Wrong guy d00d.

You're thinking of Paul that hangs with us with the DC5...

haha, okay...in another post this guy said he was the bald dude...lol.....i'm bad with n ames...ya'll know that by now...how long it take me to get everyone's straight...lol

I'm a dumbass...

ASPEC is paul..

iApex....looked the same to me.....OWNED!

im not bald lol. im pretty sure some of you saw me at the last event i went up and introduced myself but no one was very talkative. if you see me youll know im pretty short (5'2) on a good day. last event i was with another kid who had red hair if that helps. and i drive a red DC2. thats me in the avatar. ya you make good valid points gabe im going to try to put off buying the tires for the buddyclub wheels and use that money to sign up. and jsut run on my 16's.
