who else is going down to the race?

random question directed more toward jeff, do you know if you can buy and print a hunting license for deer/geese online or do you actually have to go to the place and buy one. i need to do some searching online but figured id ask. reason is i wont get down to the hunting spot till 2-3 am and every place will be closed so need to get one for MD prior.
What you mean? Like run the wheels at the autox? IF so, I ran them at the last event, and will be doing the same at this one. Registration closes Friday at midnight, FYI.

Nah. Thats a backfire flame. Watch the video I mentioned on my previous post. You will see the supra's exhaust blow out a light bluish or greyish smoke/flame out the back under hard acceleration. I've seen some high horsepower cars do this and I was just wondering what causes it.

Wow. I didn't know you could get pulled over for going around the block more than 2 times? I changed spark plugs in the car and drove it around the block a couple of times and got pulled over "for doing the same path more than twice". How is this illegal in anyway? I got off with a warning, but don't understand it!

I can let you pull off one wheel and try it on your car if you come down early morning on Sunday. I'm not sure what the run orders are, so I dont want to be rushing around. You'll have to bring jacks and stuff. If you can do it this Saturday, I'll be at the old Philly DynoWorks shop all day.

I just told him I had no idea it was illegal and that I changed my spark plugs and wanted to make sure my car ran fine. He understood.

What goes on at the shop now? i was wondering what it turned into. They sold the dyno so i'm guessing there is/was a whole in the floor. They take the lifts out?





Does anybody have a set of wheel spacers i could borrow next week to try out? Unsure on what size and will probably only drive on them for few miles, get a few pictures and take them back off. I figure its worth a shot asking. Maybe we can work something out?

Nothing really goes on at that shop. We use it to work on friend's cars here and there. The holes from the dyno are filled, and the lifts were also sold.

I have a set of 20mm Project Kics spacers if you want to borrow them. I used them on the Evo before getting the hubcentric Ichibas. Let me know, and we could meet up.

chu, yea not sure what the timing is going to be like. its all up in the air, kinda see how the whole family thing falls into place. if i can get there ealry then sweet, if not then ill prob just come down to check out the races and take a look at the wheels.

i understanding your trying to run so no worries there. if it doesnt work out this trip maybe sometime in dec if your still interested just figured since im all ready to go maybe this trip would work. we can play it by ear see wats good. keep in touch ill txt you later or something its all good.

i got pulled over for avoiding a speed bump that scratches my car bc its huge. i went around it and got snagged. got a warning and a nice car compliment after 15 mins stitting there....wat a joke.

dsb.....damn copssss haha jk
