awful quiet in here!

[Wade Chamberlain]

nobody excited about tomorrow's Harry Grove event? I figured there'd be at least a *little* chatter in here! Hope the weather holds out...I got some spanky new rear control arms to try out.

I'm psyched, car's all ready for tomorrow

I think I'm going to hyperfest afterwards.

short day today for me and two OC's of my four runs, but I'm more than happy with how the car drives now. more tomorrow

First time out in the e30. I had a lot of fun tossing the rear end around on the fun runs but I think I need a lot of work on getting my lines right.

42.53 | 1990 BMW 325is | 205 60 R14 Falken Ziex 512

[AJ_RDR_Civic]

i had fun as always. i think i found the heat limit of the RE-01Rs, wish i had a pyrometer. a little upset i couldnt break into the 39's but i got close. if i had a water sprayer i think i could have done so. fortunately and i suppose unfortunately, i was very consistent. my first run i got a 41.64 but all my other runs were in the 40's and no cones all day.

if anyone got pics of my car and/or of the blue rsx, please let me know so i can add some new ones. thanks!

[Wade Chamberlain]

I have a pyrometer that you're welcome to borrow for some future event. If you're interested, I'll try to remember to throw it in the trailer.

[echan]

The timing tent also has a pyrometer (IR type with laser spotter that measures surface-not as accurate as the probe type that penatrates into the rubber but still handy). We just need to make sure to have a fresh 9 volt battery for it. Anyone is welcome to use it.

[AJ_RDR_Civic]

ah good stuff. hopefully i can remember to ask next time lol

[saint_foo]

I think I got a 40.05 or 40.06 on the test-and-tune day. It was a blast this weekend!

Big thanks to Chris Delia (sp?). The Noble was a blast.

I must say....your car looked totally composed on every run from where I was standing in the stop garage. My times were close to yours and it looked like you weren't even pushing it that hard compared to what I was doing in the MINI. Smooth FTW....I need to work on that myself

haha thanks. as much as i like being smooth and consistant, i think thats what holding me back from being faster...i guess i need to start pushing my self even harder. take out some cones, spin out, etc...just one of the things i need to improve on.

thanks to whoever shot these pics!! they look great. now i can see how bad my body roll is



drifto!! lol

39.1something / suXass red 94' subaru / 245/45/R17 Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec
