Just had to go to four gas stations to find one with fuel. Topped of the truck and filled one more 5gal can for the generator. Should be able to run the gen for at least 2-3 days with my fuel supply before I need to syphon the truck or car. Never hurts to be prepared, especially with my areas electricity reliability.

 

If the wheels come off the tarmac, that's literally off course

 

why is everyone freaking out about gas? I mean if I can't drive my car i'll just walk to the closest bar.

 

Since you'll have an instructor it would be best to do both. They'll reserve spots for people doing both days first, so you would get put on the back burner trying to only do one. Technically you can do one, but you'd have to contact the registrar.

So cool!

Congrats!

 

I heard on the news about the shortage of gas at the shore and in NJ. I don't think we are affected out here. Plus who's going to hog all the e85 in my area besides me?

 

Yea Tims..I'd love to auto x next month! Thats for the info...do you keep updates on that event on this thread or somewhere else? btw I think I passed you on Norristown road in warminster last weekend now that I see your car. See ya around

Its nice to brush those little hondas off my shoulder like flys now...my prelude used to get waay to much honda attention..being a little honda guy myself lol

 

It's because we are expecting extended power outages. Now power means no pumps working at the stations to get gas for your generator. I'm not worried abou driving anywhere.

 

I was more concerned how much consumables I was going to go through. On average will a set of pads last 2 days? I figured 3-4 tanks of gas is that about right? Damn me being a noob and not knowing ish. You should do it, it seems like a lot of people are in

I ran into the same problem last night. I ended up having to get gas at Bj's. People were going crazy.

I would prefer doing 2 days just have to see if i can get off of work.

www.phillyscca.com is a good place to find the info. You will most likely see something in here about it too, but phillyscca has some good information if this is your first time. I remember seeing your car, I live right off norristown.

 

Tim, I'm a noob and have five days on the same pads. I have maybe 30-40% life left on the fronts. More on the rears. Also I don't believe I ***** foot the brakes either since Marc taught me threshold braking.

Your tires are brand new iirc so that isn't anything you need to worry about. You'll need fresh brake fluid in use though. That's about it.

I can't comment on gas consumption given my situation but most of the guys that are on pump usually go fill up before the event, at lunch and after (you wouldn't have to the morning of the second day if you fill up after the event obviously).

Noobs advising noobs FTW!!!!!!

 

Aaron I'm surprised ur not out at nats wit Fineburg.

 

Im running re01r's with about half life maybe little more left on them. I have almost new v12 evos but I took them off to run the potenzas. Brakes et800's front and rear about 60-70%. I figure ill change all fluids, check the car over, alignment and some gas and im good to go.

 

Your tires should be fine. Pads will last 8 days or so, unless your wicked fast, then you'll use them quicker. As far as fuel, I would say 2 tanks a day tops.

Your pads have planty of life left, you won't need those new one for a while still.

What brake fluid do you have in teh car now?

 

right now im running pentosin super dot 4. I will probably run amsoil when i order my fluids next.

 

Not this year :-( My car is not SM ready anyway.

 

Yeah, I would go with something with a little higher of a wet boiling point than what you have now. AMSOil or Motul would be fine.
