Fun event guys, had a great time. Only one thing, we should have had some sort of TECH. I saw a car that I would failed in autoX. It was missing a front lug as well as the wheel nut.
1. Hebert is NUTS I MEAN NUTS I WANTED TO TELL HIM TO PULL OVER SO I COULD GET OUT. 2. Matt is Gay and he took so many parts off his car he had to work on it for 3 hours (IMG:http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/kcoughlin77/IMG_0638.jpg) (IMG:http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a348/kcoughlin77/IMG_0636.jpg) 3. Turn one at NPR is not cool at all when a heater hose bust and you do the slide for life leaving the course at 80mph. Ken got it on Vid so we will see. I thought it was going to go ever :o 4. Work is more important that a track day :( sorry benson. 5. Darth Civic is good for about 5 hot laps with a blown head gasket and will run times in the low 1:33.2ish according to times Hebert and I were talking about maby a high 1:32.99999999999 maby ;) and is good for low 1:34 with a passenger. 6 Azenis only have so much grip, not bad at all but only so much. 7. Hassan is bad luck every person he rides with goes off course. We went took flight and turned a 14 turn course into a 8 turn course. :P 8. Red Del Sols dont like turn one and REALLY doesn't like that curb at turn one, Curb 1 Del sol suspension and wheel 0. Hope it doesn't cost to much to fix. 9. I can catch fast cars in the turns and they leave me in the straight. 10. I got the last autox file from Hassan. They are on paper :angry: Will get them up soon. 11. You can break a Honda racing it!!!!! I know I dont beleave it either.... Kerry |

Hey go see the smack talk section for a video link. :D
Dat crazy mug can catch most everyone. Hammered brakes are kinda scary going home on. Bled them before I left the lot. but still horrible in New Orleans traffic. I got some Maintenance to do. and it will be more than 17 bucks. <_< Seeing that pic of Matt's car I better go check mine out before I got to work in it. Yea it's a daily driver too. Yea Chris we need to do it again with prepped cars and maybe use the colored run group to organize this. Hebert kept telling me to get closer to the wall going into turn 1. Yea He's NUTS. :wacko: This post has been edited by joe_914: May 12 2006, 09:15 PM |

3200lb rolly-polly car, and guess where the tires cord... inside edge. Thank you concrete patches under full load.
Yep, it's Love-Bug season... and the sun really baked them on. Fun event, though. Got somewhere in the ballpark of 42-49 laps... for 100$. I'd call that a hell of a bargin. Devin This post has been edited by SoloEvo: May 12 2006, 09:47 PM |

enjoyed it.
the good: -ran my best laptimes today ever with v710's. 1:26:2 and 1:26:4 (back to back). I now think my car should run a 1:25 with ideal weather, hard-top, little fresher tires, no passenger, clear track, clean track,improvement on turn 8, -lotus has plenty of potential.. now i want one :) -Matt's firebird is fast, even in the turns it's not too shaby. (hey, you got video's of passing us slowpokes?) (IMG:http://www.noproblemraceway.com/track%20layout.bmp) the bad: -they mixed a first timer in with some experienced guys. I almost ran over that first timer at the blind turn 1. :unsure: -didn't drive the lotus the ugly: -dirty blue miata |

What's supposed to go here? Group: Delta Members Posts: 3,113 Joined: 10-November 04 From: New Orleans Member No.: 221 |
1. Chip is not at all afraid to go into a sign place, in Texas, and ask for a pink, "Honk for gay rights" sticker. Dude, even I wouldn't be that ballsy. Did the guy behind the counter hit on you? (but it was a damn good prank)
2. Shiffting from 2nd to 1st going into a straight will break bolts. Luckily, it doesn't break rear ends or trannys! 3. When you take off a heater core, plug those holes GOOD! Sorry to everyone who drove through my fluid on the track. 4. Mongo Racig is DA SHEEEET!!!!! 5. Once my car is healthy, the dang thing flies. FYI, I hit 135 on the straight (redline in 4th is 135). 6. For all you guys who don't hit the brakes going into Turn 1 - holy crap are you nuts! I tried to follow Chris H. in there one time and had half my car in the dirt. 7. V710s hold up pretty good. Not many laps on them, but they got enough to start getting greasy. Don't think I'd want to do 20 laps in August . . . 8. Chip's Lotus is fun to watch. I could have spent hald the day just following him around the course. Beautiful piece of engineering. 9. Hassan through Turns 13 and 14 is also amazing. Wow . . . just wow! 10. I think we can do our TLAC there. It'd be fun! 11. Had lots of fun! 12 When do we go again? Ken, don't worry about the vid - I think it was the battery. Do you have any video of me from your car? Who was the guy with the telephoto lens taking pictures in the afternoon? He was sitting on the bleachers. This post has been edited by 00 Trans Ram: May 13 2006, 08:35 AM |

Ok, Download the file like you are going to watch it. Then when it does not work, find it on your computer in the temporary internt files folder. Copy it to your desk top. You should be able to watch it then. |
