You would probably have a bigger turn out running at GSS or MSS!

You would probably have a bigger turn out running at GSS or MSS!

I don't agree. Plus those would be a lot more expensive venues.

EVILUTION

12-02-2009, 08:48 PM

Well I hope you guys have good weather. I wish I could attend myself as I would like to kill these advans.

I would be on the lookout for Mr. Fuji at this event. He had mentioned it at one point.

12-03-2009, 06:07 PM

I'll be there making the Mazda go zoom-zoom. Drove around extra the last couple days to break the 1000 mile mark before I beat the crap outta it! :)

mrslysly

12-03-2009, 06:28 PM

bah, beat the engine hard from the get go. gives you the little extra clearance! haha. oh wait, that only works for rotaries....

Mr. Fuji

12-03-2009, 06:35 PM

I will be there. Hope for dry track.

snoxracer183

12-03-2009, 06:42 PM

Hope for dry track.

I want one extreme or the other...nice and dry or 12" of snow

Devinlang

12-03-2009, 06:57 PM

The 240 will be there probably sliding all day long!!!

DontStopMe

12-03-2009, 07:24 PM

I wont be able to make it. Gotta work.

devlish

12-03-2009, 08:35 PM

sucky. can i snag your gopro and maybe video cam, i'll get some footage for ya. i don't plan to drive a whole lot, especially if the weather is crappy. but i don't mind taping, if you give me some memory cards and freshly charged batteries

cool, but good. don't think tires will play much of a difference in this weather. i cannot decide between the Toyo RA1's which seem to work awesome in cold/rain, street tires, or RE070's

just kidding, doubtful i'd tell a difference in this weather

Mr. Fuji

12-05-2009, 12:23 AM

The rotary put put will come if I don't have to drive thru snow.

Rx-8's are great!

Evilatom

i cannot decide between the Toyo RA1's which seem to work awesome in cold/rain,

Toyo has a warning against running RA1 tires in cold weather. I have R888s and was amazed by how many big red warning stickers came on them when I bought them as well. Here's the link: http://www.racetire.com/products/bulletins/ToyoCompetitionTireStorage.pdf

TomKat

12-05-2009, 08:11 AM

Wow. Thanks for the link.

No kidding wow. Consider me informed. That's good info.

I ran my R888 at the last shawano event where everyone was scared to run race rubber and they worked out great!

TomKat

12-05-2009, 03:20 PM

R888 sounds great.

Just in:

Track report - Pavement is dry. No snow. So unless it snows between now and tomorrow we will be doing a lapping day/autocross.

Mr. Fuji

12-05-2009, 06:04 PM

Sweet!
Alot more fun when ya time a run!

So not sure if its gonna be either or? Not up for driving 2 hours for an autox.

TomKat

12-06-2009, 01:02 AM

Lapping day plus a bonus autocross. Should be a crapload of track time.

nice pic on that last one!!! good HDR style shooting!!

thanks to MrFuji for playing cat/mouse with me, it was a blast!!! I cannot wait to see the footage from that!

Thanks TK, Dizzm, Justin, and Fuji for helping run the event, it was a freakin blast!! weather was cool but amazing!! sliding was fun as hell, and of course, Emperors Buffet was excellent. i couldn't force down a 3rd ice cream cone even, i was stuffed!!

oh, and YAH ME!!! for taking 1st in both of the special stages!! but i have my teammates Dizmm and Mike to thank for that!

12-07-2009, 10:57 AM

wait what!??!?!?!? who beat us? there was no 5second subtraction for hitting the can... those rules weren't made until AFTER the event. probably a good idea for next time though.

so we still won by 2.5seconds then... right? :-0

either way, it was fun as hell!

snoxracer183

12-07-2009, 11:37 AM

I will let all subractions slide this time for the special stage as long as the win is marked with an asterik!

Nice pictures Robere. I love the HDR of my helmet warmer.

Yeah, for once, pictures do the car justice...and that's performance rust for those of you not in the know!

On another note, does anyone have video of me drifting Devin's 240?! (sorry again for cording your tires man lol). That was a blast!!

And I want to thank Devin for helpin' out a fellow 240 guy and letting me use his backup tires for a couple of sessions. You sir, made the drive there and back and the money spent worth every penny!
