Any of you guys thinking about going to Steele this sunday for the import shootout?

I might, what time is it??

[Herblenny]

Here!!!



I might, what time is it??

It says 11-6PM. I saw that some of the Huntsville guys might go.

As of now, My car is in pieces and if I get it together in time and weather's ok, then I might go.

[blwnrtr93]

I might be able to make it. I'm working OT tonight and there is a possibility of working through the weekend, so I may have to make a little play (get the 7 out of the carport and on the road) money.

[Herblenny]

I'm about to head out to Steele.

[HDP]

HuntsVEGAS checking in...

[blwnrtr93]

When's our next get-together?

[Herblenny]

I'm not sure.. My schedule is becoming quite crazy in next month or so..

[ScreaminRX8]

Soon I hope I am getting bored hanging out at the house on the weekends now that I am not working 7 days a week...

[Red Dragon]

checking in!

[blwnrtr93]

I'm booked solid through the end of the month on the weekends, but after that I'm game for another shot at the Cheaha run. Let's pick a date and do it, even if there are only 3 or 4 of us.

[Herblenny]

I'll be in town almost every weekend til Aug.

There is a Goodyear show at Gadsden on June 28th.. NO entry fee!!

Anyone wants to go??

[blwnrtr93]

I might try to make the Goodyear show, but it depends on how many hours I've worked that week. End of the month/end of the quarter is usually a pretty hectic time, trying to push as much product out as possible.

[neoamd]

Checking in also.

Have to finish some things on the car but I'll be meet ready sometime in July. Car prob will not have the interior in though, haha.

[blwnrtr93]

Go to www.ALSCCA.org, www.TGPrace.com, www.Barbermotorsportspark.com, and the TVR or Twickingham(sp) auto club I don't know their websites.

There are AutoX's every month at the Birmingham race course, and there are random track days at Talladega Gran Prix and a few left at Barbers.

[SPICcnmFD]

Work, been going to the lake on the weekends, now about to start football

[ZGN]

What lake do you go to? I just sold my PWC. I'll get a nice skiboat for next summer.

[blwnrtr93]

[staticpat]

Working, replacing water pump, working ....

[HDP]

Working + home improving + tweeking + tuning...

Sounds like a plan. Start organizing things now and set a date.

[Herblenny]

Sounds good!! Lets do this!!

[blwnrtr93]

Everyone's pretty much booked for Sept at this point, I'm thinking the weekend of Oct 5th.

[HDP]

Cool, now work out the times, details and map out our route for the drive.

[SPICcnmFD]

Mostly been going to Pell City. We are going to try and buy some PWCs by next year, the wife wants some.

[blwnrtr93]

Cool, now work out the times, details and map out our route for the drive.

I'll get to work on it this weekend. I shouldn't have to put in much OT this week. Last week was the killer.

[Herblenny]

have you guys downloaded the RCCDigizine?

[blwnrtr93]

Yep. Looks good.

[blwnrtr93]

Forgot that Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta first week of October... The weekend of the 11th is booked b/c of my step-daughters b-day, and after that it may be too cold for a BBQ. I'll keep it in mind for next spring/summer though.

[blwnrtr93]

Found out Wednesday that my wife and I are having a BOY!!! That's all I'm done. :)

[Herblenny]

congrats!

[ScreaminRX8]

Congrats!!

[JShiz]

Anything going on?

[blwnrtr93]

Not much here... Just a lot of work and hanging out with the wife and kids on the few weekends off.

[ZGN]

Just got my boat! Anyone down for a rotary gathering at the lake sometime this summer!

[SPICcnmFD]

There is a track day this Saturday at TGP if anyone would like to come.

[somchhir1]

^ where is that? And what time?

[staticpat]

I got my turbo issues sorted out. No more popping, fireballing and fuel cutting. I hope to race this weekend. ZZzzzZZ

[SPICcnmFD]

It's here:

http://www.tgprace.com/

And if you want to sign up its here:

Got to May 9th, and it's under ALA(pdx)

BTW only 14 entrants so far, so track time is going to be MUCHO!!

[SPICcnmFD]

That's good, I'm sure it's alot more fun and relaxing to drive!!

[Herblenny]

I wanted to go but I told Exedy that I'll show off my FD at Formula Drift... You guys have fun!

[blwnrtr93]

Have you put up any shots of the Cosmo yet, Phil? I saw it in a couple pics from DGRR.

[rx7 FC TII]

i wish my car was able to run this. i need a tune before i can go out and push it on a track. but i will definitely come out and watch/ride along

[Red Dragon]

Yeah I'd like to come out and watch.

[SPICcnmFD]

Just a heads up if you come, but it cost $5 to get in. Not our idea, it's the tracks new thing, so every time you go out there now, entrant or not it's going to cost $5. Stupid IMO, especially if you are an entrant.

What?? that's complete BS!!!

[Red Dragon]

Meh, 5 dollars isn't a problem I just gotta remeber how to get out there.

[staticpat]

That's shitty. You'd think they would let people in for free no problem. If it looks like fun a spectator would likely enter an event the next go around.

[Red Dragon]

what time you going pat?

[SPICcnmFD]

I agree it's bull. From what we were told it's because they have a permanent gate keeper.

[Brent]

Hope you guys that go have a blast this weekend... cheap track time and plenty of it is hard to beat!!

[SPICcnmFD]

You still coming to Barbers at the end of the month?

[Brent]

Oh yeah, I'll be there!!! Be at Nashville Super Speedway the weekend before that with the Mustang Club if you are looking to add another weekend. I'll be home in a little over a week hopefully :D Then it's a summer full of driving :D

[Herblenny]

Dang Brent!! We should hang when you are in town.. I'll be available Friday and Saturday.. But leaving town Sunday.. Hence I can't do Barbers... And I wished the SCCA thing at TGPR was on Sunday instead of Saturday.. Dang!!

[Brent]

Sounds good Phil. I'll hopefully hit town Friday afternoon so I should be around Friday and Saturday evening. I'll be leaving Sunday afternoon as well as soon as I'm done at Barber and be heading straight to Road Atlanta for the Chin event on Monday :D.

[SPICcnmFD]

^wow, poor car it's going to be tired!!

[staticpat]

I saw this site for the first time today. Did Ryan get a 99 bumper, or is someone else around that I don't know about.

http://www.gearheadhaven.com/

[Herblenny]

Brent and Chris, Check and see if I could get a ride with one of you on Saturday at Barber... I'll bring my helmet:)

Patrick, Is that forum Bham based?? I've heard about that R34.. I'm not sure who owns that silver FD but I've seen it before with Leo going North on I-65

[SPICcnmFD]

I'll ask. NASA usually only allows instructors to give rides but I'll see. Also I'm still about 50/50 on what car is coming so you may have to just hang on the side we make it with the DSR:).

[Brent]

^wow, poor car it's going to be tired!!

Yeah, I'll be switching between the yellow car and silver car this summer so hopefully that will help give me a little extra time for maintenance between events. For longer weekends, I have my speed bleeders, plenty of brake fluid, pads, rotors, etc... with me at the event. As for right now though, I'll be using the silver car for the first few. I now just need to find a little time to put my safety mod's in the car.

On a side note, I priced Hawk DTC60's and 70's for my Porsche Big Red's... I 'm looking at $270-$300 a set :banghead: They are thicker and should last longer, but how much longer is anyone's guess. I may bite the bullet and get a set for my next one, but if they wear out after a couple/few weekends, I'll be finding a cheaper alternative. My driving level is no where near these brake pads being a "must have" for me, just want to try them since they are suppose to be the best right now.

[SPICcnmFD]

Well the good thing is Barbers and ATL is are pretty easy on tires, so you shouldn't get much wear on them.

[Brent]

Good to hear. I'll be running some Dunlop Z1 StarSpec's so hopefully they'll last me a while as well.
