Track day @ Summit Point WV 5/18-19 (Shenandoah Circuit)
 
Both me and ArmitageGVR4 are signed up for the Trackdaze event on May 18 and/or 19th.

Just curious if anyone else wanted to come out.

Here is the info:

For some reason I can't find the list of people who are signed up anymore, but a few people said they wanted to come out.

My older brother just signed up with his s2000 and I might be getting one of my little brothers to sign up to :p:

ArmitageGVR4 04-24-13 07:39 AM

Nice. FWIW I'll be camping at the track if the weather is suitable.

eage8 04-25-13 01:59 PM

Saturday only registration is now sold out... but you can still do Sunday only or the whole weekend.

eage8 05-02-13 02:18 PM

Just checked and it's now completely sold out with a waiting list.

Hope some other people come to watch/hang out.

ArmitageGVR4 05-15-13 01:05 PM

Getting close. Car is 95% ready. Weather is looking pretty good. I will probably head up Friday evening for tech and camp in the paddock all weekend unless they're calling for severe storms.

eage8 05-15-13 09:56 PM

I'm slowly but surely getting my car ready :)

new hood is on:

haha, yeah those are 315/30/18 Hoosier A6s :)

that's why I have a tire trailer now lol they don't really fit in the car anymore....

ArmitageGVR4 05-16-13 12:52 PM

Heh I'm still rocking street tires because I have to drive to/from events on what I run. Some day I'll live somewhere that I can have a trailer.

NT01s are my current street tires >_>

I'm a little worried about the rain in the forecast for this weekend....

ArmitageGVR4 05-16-13 02:49 PM

Only calling for 30% chance of showers. I'll take it. Better than 100% of downpours all weekend ;) It always rains at Summit in the spring. Last year there was a t-storm downpour that caused a flash flood and the paddock was more than ankle deep in water within a minute. Good times.

Also better than cicadas :)

I'll probably bring my visor just in case...

ArmitageGVR4 05-16-13 10:27 PM

Speaking of visor, that reminds me I need to clean my helmet. At Watkins Glen a few weeks ago I raced an open cockpit car for the first time... w/no windshield and an oil leak. Nothing like engine oil mist all over your helmet :|

eage8 05-20-13 11:05 AM

I had a blast last weekend.

I probably blew up the engine on the rx7 on Saturday, but it was still fun :)

RX7 second session on saturday:


My corolla 4th session on Sunday:

:bigeyes: Nooooooo. What happened?

If you are serious, I think I know a couple of kegs around looking for a home. let me know if you need some contact info.

It started acting very strange and randomly running lean (possibly dying fuel pump?)

I was dumb and didn't get off the track quick enough... 1 too many lean spikes later the car runs like crap and is super loud.

it's not 100% yet, I haven't really looked into it yet, I'll compression test it tonight and go from there. I may have just cracked a exhaust manifold or something.

any S5 TII kegs?

He's On Toroids 05-20-13 02:34 PM

I dont know about S5, but I think I know of 2 people with TII kegs. I'll see one guy on Friday and ask. I'll PM the other guy.

ArmitageGVR4 05-20-13 03:11 PM

Great weekend! Glad the rain held off and we had dry laps both days. I'll try and go through my video and edit it down later this week. I have some good footage of both of your cars I think.

Sorry to hear about your motor Mike; let's hope it's less serious than you initially thought.

Happy to report the new turbos are working perfectly and I had no mechanical issues of any kind all weekend. The Z2s are easily 3 seconds a lap faster than my old 615s based on a handful of laps I grabbed from the camera last night and I didn't really experiment with adjusting the pressures at all yet. My upper body is still sore from wrangling the car through the karussel with no power steering :D

Here's a short clip from Saturday 2nd Session following Mike:
