Smase's 240 is on the trailer.... and it only took about 15 minutes! When you see his car you will all understand just how crazy of a feet that really is, 2" of ground clearance never works out too great with a trailer!
Perm I expect to see you there with the vinyl police hat and your thong pulled up!
Don't know how to post a video up, but who says you can't host a drift event in the rain!!! (this makes me excited)
EDIT: FIXED THE VIDEO

Is there an AC outlet on site? I'll bring my tiny compressor, and some tools and jacks, and extra brake fluid. As for the weather, as long as it's not standing water like the last time I was there, I'm happy. I'd rather drift than go fast.

Prolly the bimmer. What it lacks in power, it makes up for in cornering, braking, and drifting ability.

TS is all staying at the Super 8, we'll probably be up there mid to late afternoon today. Too bad the weather sucks but I guess we'll just have to make the best of it.

Sounds fun. And I'm glad you said bimmer and not beamer. I can't tell you how annoyed I am when people confuse the two.....and I don't even own one
Why is everyone so upset? just think! no sunburns now! and yes...... you CAN race in the rain
im just kinda bummed cause i hate shitty weather. i dont care for getting wet. plus if it pouring im not going to stand around and bs and get soaked. i dont mind driving in it. but i hope everybody uses common sense.

Agreed Shawn, I HATE the rain. I hate the smell of it, I hate getting wet and dirty from it, I hate that it drops the temp 30%, I just HATE HATE HATE IT!!! But I have no problem driving in it, just a little disapointed that I won't be able to push the Venge to the limits this time like I had planned
I am excited to see some wet-track driftage though

I can't say I'm pumped about the rain. But I'm a silver lining kinda guy. Now I don't have to drag my sprinklers out, MT stays green longer, etc, etc, etc.
More importantly......I'm excited to get some aggresive driving done legally on wet roads. I think it'll expand all our skill level and overall driving ability. But just like on dry track, we gotta start slow and increase slowly for safety concerns.
Plus there's always the next track day.

You guys are funny. I'm thinking back to 2005 when ryan holly let me borrow his civic and co-drive with him at an autox. he was in the first run group and they were the only ones that got to race on dry asphualt. By run group 2 and 3 it was just raining the rest of the day but we still raced. So needless to say I only got to drive his car in the rain and NOT on dry asphualt. I had lots of fun.
If anyone is curious to know how that turned out check this out and compare my time with everyone in the rain. NOT the AM times the PM times. Hmmmmm... Oh look James Rowen was at that event too!

I will seriously regret not bringing the STI if it rains tomorrow. The tires on the S2000 are pretty worn, and the carbotech pads I just put on will have a hard time getting up to temp. I am going to bank on light showers that blow right past us.

Hey Todd, just so you know... water is meant to get you clean..... hmmm. I've been wondering about you.

Forgot, just as a reminder, I did end up getting 28 MAEC decals and I have 26 Lewistown decals. I am going to be doing the MAEC for a $1 and the Lewistown for $3, which includes the '10 year sticker ('09 retro stickers will be included if you attended last year).

Stoked. Just had Matt at the Brake Shop set me up with an exhaust so the engine is roaring directly beneath my feet, now just a few more things to touch up and I think I'll be ready to boogy.
Oh, and by the way.......LESS THAN 12 HOURS!!!

Pretty ill. Looks great. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new setup. All I asked for was straight pipe till I bought a new DP and exhaust and that is exactly what I got. DP to bumper, used a pipe bender to get the angles right, welded brackets on it, and hooked it up for me. I'm pretty impressed by what it is for how plain it is.
well im finally all packed up and ready to go. i wish i had a bigger car to bring even more stuff. but what i have will have todo. see you guys at 330.

Got the Venge packed w/ my new canopy chair, her new chair, a cooler packed full of bottled water, a variety pack of chips, hand warmers (you never know right?), extra antifreze, oil, syncromesh, and brake fluid, a tool box, a 2 ton jack, and both our helmets. Also buttoned up a couple of loose ends on the car and all thats left to do is hit up the gas station for 93 in the morning to try and help w/ my spark knock, check tire pressure, and do a headlight adjustment See everyone in a few hours!
oh...... and I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

Great time. Wish we had a track closer to town. Screw autocross. That medium and high-speed shit was perfect. Can't wait to see the pics and videos. I'll upload mine to my Picasa shortly.

WOW that was SO much fun! I can't wait to see pictures. I wish I had gotten there a bit earlier - I'll definitely be there in September. I'm going to try to be there the night before so I can still get some sleep the night before. I get up at 2am for work every day - I really don't want to have to get up at 2 for fun, too! It was great to meet everyone, thanks for letting us tag along today!

I am glad you made it out Sarah, sorry you did not have much time to go around the track. Make sure you have September 11 off work so you can get a full day in.
Sorry that I did not get around to giving everyone rides. I really tired to get as many people in as I could, but of course I ran out of gas. Nate, you will be first on the list next time.
