So anyone going to make it at all?

I want my car functional for the cruise and novice school. Otherwise it'd be game on!

What do you mean? Rock falls is the shake down test to see if any parts are ready to break...

Heh, no. I drive the car hard enough regularly, its plenty shook down

Good thinkin though!

CarPsyco84 · 04-06-2010

I will be there, along with my old man on the turbo Kawi.

C3L1CA · 04-06-2010

I doubt I'll be making it

I'm a best man in a wedding at the end of April and his bachelor party is this weekend.

Maybe next weekend if the car is in running condition.

Hopefully scheides is getting some good schoolin'. I'm doing another all-nighter at work so I rescheduled for June. It'll be more fun with...you know...my car, anyway.

**scheides** · 04-25-2010

I was wondering where you were! Man it was a blast. Def worth trying out if you've never done it, getting in the groove, finding which corners work in which ways, and stacking all of the elements together to try and make a perfect run is a lot of fun! Andreas kept telling me, 'today, your life changes!' and while I'm not really sure about that, I'll def be back for more

Special thanks to MATTD! For letting me borrow his car. Obviously mine was in no condition to compete or even make it legally around the course (or to it LOL). I hope to have some new wheels and continue to attend events we've discussed in this thread and keep trying new things. I'll post up some pics later, but I know Rosey, Racheal, and Anna (I can't believe this) even admitted she had some fun today!

- We don't have a thinking smilie.

This is supposed to be a bench racing thread, lol.

When is the next one, i would like to attend with you folks.

**scheides** · 04-25-2010

Heh, no, this thread is about getting off the bench

Read post #1! Next event? Maybe drag day may 1? I don't think I'll be ready, but soon enough!

turbotalon1g · 04-25-2010

^lol, my bad i remember now.
Well I need to get off the bench and do something to feed my need. I get home the 4th/5th, but i was talking auto-x

rose0529 · 04-26-2010

We had a great time out there pushing the limits of our cars! Nice to finally get off the bench! I have some good pics from the event I will try and get up here asap.

**Kracka** · 04-26-2010

Sounds great guys! Being able to SAFELY push the cars 10/10th is an awesome feeling!

**Murlo26** · 04-26-2010

I am going May 1st to the strip, should be fun. Hoping to get 11's...don't care what, just 11's. The car probably has low 11's in but not with me driving.

turbotalon1g · 04-26-2010

^Get those low 11s and stop being modest or a bitch. You will learn a lot about shift points at the track its awesome.
Good luck.

LOL, not sure how to take this. I will not hit low 11's, at least highly unlikely.

Learning about shifting, this should be a given with seat time

I will try my best.

turbotalon1g · 04-26-2010

lol, don't take anything I say the wrong way, I give a lot of shit but I'm here to help.

Be more confident, but being realistic is good too. I say that you will learn a lot about shift points because I know I did I picked .3 secs and did a lot better on the street.

Take your dyno sheet with you, shift so u fall back to max tq. and go from there.

Good luck.

**goodhart** · 05-04-2010

Bump!

First Wednesday night drag of the summer at B.I.R tomorrow night!! Anybody that is interested, I will be meeting up with a handful of local guys at 3:45 at Buffalo Wild Wings off of Hwy 15 in St. Cloud and leaving at 4:00ish. shoot me a pm if you feel like coming up, so we can wait for you if you are running late or something.

CarPsyco84 · 05-04-2010

Do it up, I might be going up on may 19th... If my car moves under its own power... with no leaking holes.
