I may drive to STL to see this tomorrow....what time does GIR open up for racing? 7pm?

racerx7 08-29-06 03:14 AM

Good luck. 9 second rx7 sounds like a scary ride.

AnthonyNYC 08-29-06 06:07 AM

Good luck!!

If I had to offer advice, I would say run through the gears slowly the first time down the track but on full throttle, no power shifting or anything fancy.

Once you know the car feels solid and is not breaking loose in the upper gears, hammer it!

I plan on granny shifting to get a feel for it. Once I feel like I've got a good run under my belt, I'll try make a full pass.

Leaving in a minute to get my alignment done. My neighbors are going to hate me. :rlaugh:

mr2foryou 08-29-06 07:13 AM

HAHA, thats awesome Eric. Hope all goes well, I want to come home tonight to find out that you've run a 9 second pass. That will be sick. Good luck out there and don't let off on the big end this time.

I can't wait to hear about these results and see some video. Hope everything is going well Eric.

silvr94r2 08-29-06 08:19 PM

Good luck Eric!! 1st run is always nerve racking but you'll feel like a seasoned pro on the next pass. You can do it!! Bust a 9 in that thing before it gets sold. It'll make it all worth it. Btw.....your car is BEAUTIFUL!!

mr2foryou 08-29-06 08:27 PM

Immensely Beautiful.

I heard that the track shut down at 6:45pm...someone had just posted that on a local forum for our area. Spent $33 on fuel, $15 entry fee, waited for 1h20m...then they shut the track down. Not sure if it's true, or what happened....but I hope Eric got his pass in before they closed the track.

mr2foryou 08-29-06 09:08 PM

I hope so too. At least a real FULL pass.

dubulup 08-29-06 10:01 PM

well...

jamespond24 08-29-06 10:08 PM

So how did it go Lupe?

LUPE 08-29-06 10:10 PM

I drove my car 45 minutes in the rain to get there, hoping that it was dry. I paid, sat there for 5 minutes and then they called it off because of the rain.

Very upset. :(

jamespond24 08-29-06 10:11 PM

Did they refund your money?

No, they said that I can use the tech card for next tuesday, though. Looks like I'll be racing next tuesday.
