Waynesburg has three more events this year. They are the only place running at the airports. Beaver run is having a few also.

Their site is at http://www.flashlightdrags.com/

Must be alot of broken EVO's according to our tags. It's been dead in here. I had a ball joint go bad that needed to be replaced.

I melted a my dust boots on the car last weekend, along with a set of front pads. So I ordered a set of giro disc 2 piece rotors snd Ti shims. I'm going to try out some new pads next track day. I've been impresed with satisfied gransport brake pads this past season so I'm going to try a few of their other compounds.

FAst track for a cure - auto-x is going on this Sunday at north park if anyone is interested. This is a great benefit event! There should be alot of people and there are great raffle prizes and food there also. If you have ever thought about giving auto-x a try I'd suggest this event. I'd be happy to help anyone out that wants to come.

Did you burn thru the pads I gave you already? What other pads are you looking at?

no I just put those on. I had about 70-80% life left on the ones I wore out tho. It was running the new big sticky tires that did them in.

I'm going to run GS1's in front and GS2's in the back. These have a very high friction coefficient so, if these don't pop my eyes out of the sockets when braking, nothing will.

Well, the car came back from Nate, and the final numbers were right around 500/500. It pulls like no other from a dig, first gear Is crazy fast. Need to get it to mike for inspection alignment and wheel bearing. The FMIC and injen pipes are really holding the car back, Nate thinks we can squeeze at least another 20hp out with a decent 4 inch setup. I need to save up a little bit though. I wanted to get the lip replaced, wing removed and get a total paint and interior detail. I need to decide more power or give the looks a boost... Thoughts?

Looks like the weather should be nice Sunday. Can anyone give me the GPS Lat/Long? I've never been inside north park before. I'll be coming south on 19 from Cranberry.

@500/500, I'd start go with the looks.
