I've been wanting to autox my Fusion lol, but it's being sold shortly so no need to beat it up. Next car, whatever it may be, is sure to be worthy of it.

This Sunday

For anyone who knows,

Will there be on-site registration on Sunday morning? Motorsportsreg.com shows that 143/180 spots are taken. I was planning on registering today as I didn't know if my car would be ready, but they closed online registration on Thursday instead of Friday.

If there is on-site registration available, how early should I arrive?

Hope to see everyone on Sunday...

Ben, they have always had it before. I know the last time I was there (april) they only had a few spot available so I would show up pretty early. I would think if your there around 7:30-7:45 you would be fine. I'm suprised they closed online reg already. If you can't reg online, I'm guessing the only place you can is there at the tent so you should be ok.

so you think the strut noise could be an actual issue rather than needing a lube? i will drive out to fred beans in doylestown to get it checked. too bad i can't rely on dtown...it is so much closer...but that service manager is a serious d!ck. He'd look out the window at my car and say it's fine.


Are you referring to Tom? What a *ick, I hate that guy.

like Pete said, on site reg will be there but its first come first serve so get there early if you want in.

Dan, modern day struts are sealed units, so there is nothing to lube. If your sh*ts making noise or leaking have the stealership bust out the warranty on that thing.

And seriously you neglect this thread for a day and there's 80+ new posts. It's crazy, hurts my mind to keep up with everything.

Those of you who went to atco last night, how'd the times turn out?
Congrats to DSByo "Shaw" guys! He went to Atco for his first time yesterday and went 14.4, then 14.0, then 12.9 while giving it to a new mustang gt

Not bad for the first time!

I went just to spectate and drink some beers
( Green flash IPA & Sly Fox pale ale)

I'm driving, but aint' that happy. Thanks fro coming out and lending a hand earlier. Really Appreciate it man.

If any is selling or knows someone selling an exhaust, I need one badly. Got into a small fender bender today, with bumper damage and totaled exhaust. An aftermarket dp will work also, as I have someone with an exhaust for me, but the test pipe is welded on.

i am not so much referring as much as i am calling out tom wanstall. f$ck that guy. i took my car there first with the intent of having the dealership do all periodic maintenance (spelling sucks tonight obviously)....don't know what i was smoking but that quickly changed when i met tom. his tech seemed interested in doing me right but too bad he's tom's b!tch. if i did my job like he did his, i'd not only get fired but also super sued for malpractice.

btw i drove on the best road around today. i used to take it to high school all the time but forgot how good it is. valley hill road in dtown to 322 towards west chester. after today i think i should stay away from that road before i get too confident. who knows this road?
