By the way, congrats on that 11.79 pass! I know that is what you were looking for and I can't believe u did it on the stock clutch. I think if I could have controlled the wheelspin better I would have been in the 11.6s...
Dave, when you ran your 11.7's were you on E85 or pump 93? I need to get out to PRP to see where my car sits....I had figured with the current mods should be in 12.3's or so....

The three solid greens aren't always the pump. Mike had some fancy machine that he hooked the car up to and tested it for pressure.

If he has the pump I don't think the labor took to many hours. Mine was covered so I don't really know the cost.

I wonder if running around with a messed up acd can screw around with the transfer case? Of course a loud fart in the evo seems to cause the transfer case to fall out.
the 3 ACD lights depending on when they come on mean different things..

For instance if you put the car in gear, pull out and they appear, there is an opportunity that it is a wheel speed sensor. Or something of that matter. Mitsu designed the sensors to come on to if the tires are different sizes, or different tread depths although that normally wont trigger it. Wheel speed sensor was what I had once. then they went away.

So how will the SM group be broken up. I would hate to hold anyone back from going fast.

We will group people by time. You only be on track with 3 or 4 cars at a time.

My plan is to have no one catch anybody.

None, lol! All laps are timed. We used to call the first session practice but, there were many of people that didn't match their time in the afternoon. ( track gets slower). So I'm just going to do it like hillclimbing, All laps count. Now for a novice, you should not go out and think you will set your fastest time on your first lap ( that's just crazy) . So pretend their practice!

And then if you pull one good lap outa your *** in the morning(afternoon) then it counts.

First time around is a warm up lap so that's a good time to see the track. If we have enough need, I could send the novices around for a parade lap at the beginning.

Just because the owner is my best friend and I help out there alot .... good luck telling me how to run a business I don't own or represent.

Maybe you guys can talk about it in PM's while you all drive your evos with 3 bolt on's and a couple exterior mods.

I'm not a hard guy to get along with, rather quiet actually. It's just a handful of you need to get your facts straight or a reality check in the hobby of modified cars.

As for the mustang deal, I have had 5 DSM's, which actually are the same thing all your evo's will be once they rack up a couple more years or more miles. Not sure what the dad thing is about exactly.

Hey Jeremy, Last year (or year before) I was able to go out on the track and take pictures. Will I be able to do that Saturday?

that's even worse.

if i were your friend/owner, i would be absolutely livid that you're out on the boards acting like a tool. whether you're officially representing the shop or not, you're as good as PR agent on here.

also it seems the "handful" of "us" aren't even on this board. so maybe you should keep your pissing match on pittspeed where it belongs and not go taking the initiative to bring it places that aren't directly related. just because this thread was mentioned, doesn't mean any of us involved. in fact it looks like your major protagonist over there is banned on this board, so now i am really failing to see the correlation.

so maybe you can talk about that in PMs while you troll somewhere else.

Ahhh I figured when you said you sent us out in groups based on times, that we had to do some sort of practice laps to gauge times. Yeah, I figure I'll be the slower one there.
