hickory here

 

whats going on man... who were you referring to about the tune ? lol, By the way, this is Jason, WW IX, i picked up the BOV from ya. Anyhow, if you want to sign up for the TTP tune, there is a thread for it in the southeast section as well. Just let me know and I can add you to the list. We need to start getting a more solid count of people. Let me know. Otherwise, if thats not an option, PM Freshsrt-4, he will be able to help you out with a tune for a fairly cheap price, just ask him.

 

i saw a yellow one parked at the provost marshall's office this morning, is that yours?

 

Thanks man, ya i'll try to be active with any meets/events here in NC.

I'll keep an eye on the boards, peace.

 

who wants to have a mini meet this weekend?
I am in NC not SC

 

Sure- where an when I'm down

 

There is a road race event at VIR this weekend - hosted by NASA.

There are a ton of cool track cars there - and racing to see.

They have lunchtime parade laps too - you can take your car around the track a few times for like $10

It's about an hour from Raleigh

 

VIR=Fail.... track= right down cary parkway hahaha

 

haha

I say "I spun at 125 on the main straight at VIR"

You can say "I launched in a parking lot and hit a pole"



I gotta drag race the new car soon - I need to break soem **** too.

 

tell me more about the lunchtime parade laps.

 

There are HPDE and racing sessions all morning

Then at lunch the workers take a break

So during lunch the pace car goes out with maybe 20-30 cars in a line
You can't go nuts - but you get a few spots to punch it a bit and see the line through the turns - basically get a feel for being on track. VIR is 4 miles long too - so you can make a bit of space for yourself.

asshattery is swiftly removed though - and if you wreck during parade laps you definitely get to leave in shame

 

are any NC groups going?

 

There are almost always a few EVO's at a track event - but more WRX's/Vette's BMW's etc.

If you want to find out what you and your car are really capable of there is nothing comparable to a track day. And going to one in advance is a great way to get a feel for how to prepare and what to expect.

If you secure a helmet you can probably get a ride during one of the HPDE sessions.

I am going up to ride in a customer's C6Z06.

If you are really interested in this sort of thing -

google NASA-VA (Virginia section of NASA)

Chin Motorsports

Carguys

Mazdadrivers

They all host these types of events.

 

Im from the Hickory area in NC.

 

I will be up at vir friday for the events...
