When is the Next goo time for the Track?

I need to get my car up there, so just making a post to see if anyone wants to get together and head up for a night. I'm up for it in the near future.

Shane

Shane- I'll be up for it soon. I didn't get any runs in the other night. My egr block off plate blew off my header and ended my fun. One of Ben's friends is welding up the penny sized hole in my header Monday evening.
So let me know.. I'd love to play

I would be interested in going, as long as I'm going with some people so I'm not all by my self somewhere. I'd also need to follow someone.

Doesn't sound like you get out much.

Its not that hard, you head north on 52 (which merges to 41) until your there and head south on 52 to get back.

What do you drive?

Usually if we get a group going we all meet at the Westside Walmart before heading out and drive up together, but like Clark said its just a straight shot North and South on the way back.


Clark I believe he has an '01 or '02 (can't remember) 6spd SS

Lets get a day. I wouldn't mind a small group. That way I can take my tires up there and leave them laying on the ground with less worry. Plus more people can see me make a fool out of myself in the water box.

How about July 16th or 18th?

I've got important Demo Derby plans for the 17th.

I will be in town that weekend, for the first time in a while.

Shane and eveyone else Interested: I'm heading to US41 July 7th. Its a wednesday. I plan on leaving around 5 or 6pm. Wednesday's are great because the track is dead. Basically no one there. You can hot lap your car all night if you want to. I get the best times out of my car by hot lapping it.

So hopefully we can get a few people together, meet at walmart and go.
Just post up.

I should be in. And by hot-lapping I asume you mean, running down the track, and then coming right back to the start line to do it again?

I'll be there. I get off @ 4:00 so I can be there about 5:00 or so.

Just trying to decide if I should put the DR's on and drive up or take them up and put them on when we get there???

Shane

Luke,

I might be up for the 16th or 17th as well. I might need to do some testing then after I see how it does next week.

i want to go, but i can't until i get my new ported manifold on because my current one has a crack. i should get the manifold thursday (after a week of backorder grr) but i'm going out of town until the 7th. the 16th/18th sound like good days, though. by then my car should be in "good" working order.....finally.

If the ranger doesn't have a busted tranny then I could make it for the 16/18th track day.

Where is the West-side Walmart at? Is it the one north of campus on the west side of 52? With the Applebees at the entrance?

Score, figured that was the one since it's the closest to where we're going. But it's also good because it's like a minute from my house.

Question: Is it gonna matter if I put like 100 miles on my car that day? I assume it won't affect my performance at all, assuming that the engine has plenty of time to rest in between.

But to be truthful that should be the least of my worries because it's going to be my lack of driving experience that slows me down.

Nope, unless you break something in those 100miles . It won't make any difference because the track is a 60 mile drive by itself.

Is it gonna cost anything to go the track? And are there any rules at this track?

Do I need a helmet, must have back seats, etc? I know IRP has some strange rules, so I'd like to know.

back seats not needed, helmet if your running 12's is when they will say anything.

Its $20 to run I believe unless they have changed that. From what I hear US41 is pretty easy on the tech. Not sure what the cut-off is on needing a helmet but your stock SS won't come anywhere near it I am sure of. Hell I won't even be close enough to see it myself, haha. As far as the back seats, you don't need them. Some people go up with a completely gutted interior (ie: drivers seat only and no carpet just to name a few deletions)
