Not I. I spent the day on the Dragon since my friends were too lazy to get up and autocross. Daaamn was it crowded! I saw 3 cameras up there from Killboy, I can't wait until they get the pics of me stuck behind traffic up.

I made a dragon trip yesterday. I saw another red FD that was hanging with the Killboy staff, it had SC tags I think. I only had time for one run, but you never get tired of that place!

I'll be damned, when were you up? I left around noon. My fuel pump was cutting out so bad on left handers that I had to turn around on my second run to Deals and head back. I actually ran out of gas pulling into a gas station back in Knoxville. I had to push the car to the pump!

Just so you guys know, they repaved the NC side! There's a lot more grip but I noticed the pavement isn't quite smooth yet so the car "hops" across it a little. It makes for a very interesting ride on the downhill section leading to the gap.

I saw a red 88 vert on I40E last night. I know one guy who has one but it wasn't him. Also, I heard there was an FC autocrossing at Adesa last Sunday, kinda makes me wish I had gone.

I didn't get there until about 6:00. The trip down was nice since most of the traffic had cleared off the road.

How often do they autocross at Adesa? I have not heard of it out there before.

There's the schedule, they have them there quite a bit. I'm disappointed that they only had one at Oak Ridge this year.

Burnout mishaps, eh? If you wanna avoid those, use that Black Magic Tire Wet stuff. It says right on the bottle not to get it on your tread, I wonder why? I got a little bit on my tread back when I had my GMC Jimmy and the thing locked up all 4 wheels and slid about 20 feet at 15mph!

Damn, I didn't know you had a 20B FD. That should be interesting. I hope you can make it. We're not meeting in September, but if you show up in town and you wanna have a little mini-meet just to introduce yourself to the locals then give us a shout on here.

Well going from Miami to East TN should make it a lot easier to get out on your own. The standard of living is rock bottom here. Our state doesn't even have a minimum wage, so it goes by the Fed minimum of $5.15, how sad is that?? Still, property and housing is really affordable compared to most places, especially Miami. But trying to escape this place to anywhere more expensive is a real challenge.

Agreed Lizard. But now for the important bits.....regarding the new lot we are using....shoot me a location for mapquest.

I finally broke down and bought a new stereo for the T2 as well today so that should be in for the meet as well, though I request a drivers side door moulding if anyone has one to sell/trade, and also lemme know what parts anyone needs off a 88 baseish model.

There's the new thread, bump it before it diiiieees. I've never been to this lot but there's a mapquest to the Sonic in the thread as well as the address. Reply in the new topic so perhaps people will notice before tomorrow.
