So jealous of the track fun this weekend. I was stuck on the dyno again and trying to help ben with his car, which has a prototype part we are trying to make work. My car will be going to the bodyshop this week most likely. I would like to roll my fenders before the paintwork in case I f up royally..Cant believe JDM tails are like 650 now...And if one more person says "its not THAT bad" about my car being hit I will kick them in the boner like Jimmi said.
Also I wish the APR widebody kit wasn't fiberglass

Pete, it was "punch them in the boner". The damage to my car "wasn't that bad" either but it still needed the F'ing quarter panel cut off of it so I can understand what you're saying!!!

You wouldn't be speaking of the JM Fab exhaust manifold on sandbox would you?

Wish I could have seen pete and you on the course. Did everything dry up for third heat? It was super fun (scary) in the wet

Some sections were dry for first heat, but there were still some greasy patches, which, in my opinion, is why a few people ended up the grass.

Tell me about it
Nice job Chu taking SM, Pete was right there too.

I sucked big c-o-c-k Sat. and Sunday. Not sure why, maybe no sleep (2 hours) because of late Friday night getting car ready. I did sleep Sat. night so I do not know why I was so bad yesterday. Maybe the Hoosiers I am running are just beyond toast which is very possible, they will be put to rest.
With that said my last run was going to be a fast run and I cooked the last left before finish (near grass) had to park it there and tapped a cone, still ran a 50 time. So I figure that would have been a low 49 or maybe 48, but regardless it was off the pace. I should have been in the 47's if Simmons ran a 48.666.

Hopefully I got my suck out of the system and will be ready to rock next weekend at the Pro. If you guys are bored Sat or Sunday it is a worthy event to go watch. Much more entertaining to see than a regular Autox.

You're a little girl. How are you going to handle when we do two different track on the same weekend that are 4 hours drive apart. Better get used to it. It ain't a game

What may seem like 10k in mod, is actually 1/4 of!

Also, looks like 2000 ratings are OK for helmets, haha wonder how many people are going to go out and buy new ones due to us.

Kenny, course was fully dry for all 4 of our runs, but it seemed to get greasy the last couple, that or I was just pushing way harder.




Chu, I'm tired as hell too. I think I just over did it this weekend. Got my car all cleaned up last night, picked up a couple nice rock chips on the hood. My guess is they're from friday.

^ Hell yeah. I figured it wasn't gonna be nice enough to drive it all week and I wouldn't have a chance to wash it... So got all the rubber and crap off it, that took a while, now its clean and covered in the garage.




As far as the results, you know its bad when you have to stand on your first run. Really mad about the spin. Your a$$ was goin down Chu! I was on it, til the turn around.

Congrats man, you earned it.
