just wanna share a pic of me on the track
Llew, the director of AARRF, capped a shot of me zippin around.... and yes the stickers add 50-60 HP!!!!
http://www.dionsys.com/aarrf/images/rx72.jpg AARRF is a group that runs some local track events, mad props to them for making the events happen. |

|

cool how long?

Do you at least get money for slapping stickers on your FD? I know guys that race bikes do, but they all are really adamant about dumping the stickers once a sponsor fails to pay up.
|
Very Nice! We have a place like that down here in Dallas/Fort Worth its called Motorsports Ranch havent had a chance to get there yet but will be going soon when my fd is up and running again.
|
how fast were you able to get on the long straightaway? Long long of a track is it? 1.5 mile 2 miles?

Damain,
Nice pic. Perhaps I'll have the privelage of sharing the track with you and Captain Farrell...when I finally decide to attend a MADS VIR (formerly @ Summit Point) event?? Or perhaps I'll hook up with Tim Benton and go back to Road Atlanta. Talk about a serious race track (hee hee LOL :) ) |
Here's a link to some pics of one of my MDC drivers education events. This was March 2003:

I ran the pre-FIA (no chicane on the back straight) version of Road Atlanta for my Barber 3-day school... i'm not sure i'd want to run that circuit in a car that i'm financially liable for!
Maybe the final down hill corner isn't as hairy now, but i doubt it. Originally posted by SleepR1 Damain, Nice pic.

Not to thread hijack, but while we're on the subject of nation-wide track meetings, will anyone be at the Trackmasters Watkins Glen event on Sept. 1-2?

Tim brainerd raceway is huge, I get to 135-140 into turn one (I'm stock HP) and modified cars can get to 170+ going into turn 1, it is supposedly the fastest turn in the nation or so I was told. |

I'm about to send the money in to crash the PCA Aug event at Road Atlanta. I hope to have the 1200's in place and tuned by then, but if not, I'll turn the boost down (safely) to 12 and do the mods afterwards.
