i thought NASA-SE didn't run VIR? and it belonged to a different region with NASA?

1/10/2007 10:47:58 AM

Sorry, it's mid atlantic... Are you coming?
Ahmet

1/10/2007 11:23:48 AM

I would but i don't think i can afford it. I mean a track weekend isn't bad but a track event that goes from Feb. 23rd into non existant calender days is insane!

haha yeah i'll go :-P

So this in Feb instead of CMP in Feb? and then Road Atlanta in March? I will be in Florida during the Sebring event in June...isn't that near Miami or am i thinking of another track entirely?

[Edited on January 10, 2007 at 11:28 AM. Reason : fda]

1/10/2007 11:26:52 AM

not making this one. march is gonna be my first one. then june. im goin to vegas in may. so i need to save. i might retire after the itr expo in june

1/10/2007 11:52:05 AM

You pick on the typo for the date, yet you didn't notice that this event is not in conflict w/the CMP event? They're two weeks apart...
Ahmet

1/10/2007 12:05:49 PM

^i know they aren't on the same date. but I am only doing 1 that month and its either VIR or CMP.

1/10/2007 12:30:53 PM

I might be able to make this. I just cancelled my THSCC VIR in Feb work calls.

1/10/2007 1:48:36 PM

you slut, tell them your hobby called

1/10/2007 2:23:35 PM

Why limit yourself to only one event per month? You live once, fun times are good to have.

I don't know, it'd have to be a toss up between CMP and VIR for you. VIR is closer, and it feels great to feel great about a track, but on the other hand you've been there three times in a row, and it never hurts to try new tracks. I have to be there for NASA, so I don't have a choice. I'm still considering CMP but I don't even know if I'll have a car, so I'm very much undecided about that.

Um, Dan, sign up NOW plz. Don't you want to see what all the NASA hype's about?
Ahmet

1/10/2007 2:25:45 PM

Mark + CMP = bring an extra set of tires

1/10/2007 2:26:16 PM

Baonest, don't be lame.
Callahan, don't be lame.
Ahmet

1/10/2007 2:30:15 PM

I'm assuming this is another event that won't allow S2000's without a roll cage, right?

1/10/2007 3:08:49 PM

why don't you just pony up and put a bar in your car?

1/10/2007 3:16:56 PM

She's a weekend driver, not to be hacked up to make a track whore.

If I find a good deal on a more sporty e30 I might buy it as the DD/trackrat and sell my current beater.

1/10/2007 3:29:41 PM

that's what everyone is saying
e30s are getting harder and $texaser to come by

1/10/2007 3:56:49 PM

Yeah, but I already own one that I can sell to trade up.

Mine was $Edgecombe County. I'd consider selling it for $Nash County and putting the money towards one that is $Wake County if the right vehicle came along. I'm in no hurry though. I've got to get some vehicles out of my driveway first anyway.

1/10/2007 4:32:54 PM

^whatchoo got to sell?

1/10/2007 4:50:59 PM

I've got an e30, Jeep Wrangler, and a Honda S2000. I'll probably sell the Wrangler this spring when it warms up and everyone wants one. Or I might pick up a boat, sell the Wrangler, sell the S2000, and upgrade the e30 to something with better handling and a 5-speed as a DD.

Either way I'd like to get to 1 or 2 cars. We have 5 cars here now between two people and I don't want to bring home another one. I'd like to get another roommate at some point too, so it would help to cut down on the number of cars before anyone else moves in.

1/10/2007 4:58:53 PM

i'll buy your pussmission E30 cheap

1/10/2007 5:14:41 PM

Nothing is for sale right now, but if I sell the e30 I'll let you know. It's a good runner. The timing belt broke a couple of years ago, so it got new rocker arms, intake and exhaust valves, and head gasket. Plus the tires, rotors, and pads all have about 15k miles. I'd like to get about 15k more miles out of it as a beater and then sell it unless plans change.

I sent an e-mail out a week ago to Kirk Racing in Birmingham, a custom cage/bar builder a lot of people recommended. Time to hack my shit up, lol. Can't wait to track my S2000.

1/10/2007 7:26:28 PM

dont flip over

1/10/2007 8:16:08 PM

I wouldn't really call kirk a custom cage builder, but cool.

1/10/2007 10:01:41 PM

if you want a custom bar or cage, contact Chris Schimmel at Competiton Cages.

1/10/2007 10:56:51 PM

you don't want/need a custom bar

1/10/2007 10:58:02 PM

randy and primetime racecars near Gboro.

but im thinking it would hold up

Why? What do you suggest? There's no good prefab aftermarket solution.

[Edited on January 10, 2007 at 11:36 PM. Reason : .]

1/10/2007 11:32:58 PM

While kirk isn't pre-fab for alot of their bars, they're not customer either. That was the point I was trying to make. They just fab bars on customer orders- just typically not to custom specs.

[Edited on January 11, 2007 at 12:18 AM. Reason : I've had kirk bars in two of my cars, just as a btw]

Not doing track events is not patriotic.
Ahmet

1/11/2007 12:32:35 AM

being turkish is not patriotic

1/11/2007 12:40:50 AM

Put your money where your mouth is. Do you still want to barrow my transponder btw? It's been sitting in my trunk waiting for you...
Ahmet

1/11/2007 2:16:56 AM

yes plz thx2u

1/11/2007 10:13:55 AM

^x5

Ah, thanks for the information. I'm new to this, so I'm just shopping around. Whoever does this bar, if they can reproduce it, there would probably be a lot of interest in it. There's a lot of S2000 drivers ready to take this step as they get older/cheaper.

I won't be towing it to the track at first, and will still be using it for things like the Dragon a lot, so I don't wanna go full stripped interior yet, but it'll probably happen eventually.

1/11/2007 10:27:00 AM

The homeland security department will start investigating people who are not signing up for this event by next week according to CNN.
