once the dirt cloud set a course towards your car, the only visibility youll have is up to your steering wheel, no joke. you also pray that the car behind you know where you are among the dirt or else...

good luck to all that are going! i envy you all

I got my car aligned today and I am ready for this event. My first track event will be DD10 and then this. I just have to make sure that I have enough money for another pair of tires. Gotta start selling more shit on ebay.

lay off the hours and hours of J-Turns at DD10 and you should be fine...you only get about 10-15 min driving on the actual track...its the J-Turns and Skid Pad that kill your tires though..

have fun!!

i'll be down as well, not driving though in DD10..

TRUENOCOUPE · 11-27-2003, 01:50 PM

If I get the car running in time Ill be in DD10 also.

No passenger. the DD6 pretty sum it up.

jaae86 · 11-28-2003, 10:54 PM

Charlie, are you bringing the volk rims you have 4 sale? If so, I'm interested on checking them out. Let me know. Thanks.

Flybert · 12-01-2003, 02:07 AM

Well, it turns out I spent too much time on the skidpad at DD10 and I wore the shit out of my right rear. Half of the thread chunked off. Ordered some Yoko ES100's from tirerack so I'll be ready for Friday. Does anyone know of a good place in LA to get tires mounted for cheap and reliably? When you order off of tirerack, you don't get valve stems do you?

What time should I get there in the morning?

thx247 · 12-01-2003, 04:26 AM

no stems from tirerack unless you bought the tires mounted on something. Gates open at 7am, you need to be there for the 8am driver meeting

nokeone · 12-01-2003, 05:08 PM

hahaha...seriously!!..

if i'm blinded and go off track i'm holding you responsible!!

Flybert · 12-01-2003, 05:20 PM

Yeah, I didn't read your thread until after I got back from the event. I kind of forgot about this thread. It's cool though because it gave me a lot of experience but I wish I would have saved it for the main course. I took one run on the main course and I decided to take a look and I was like "HOLY SHIT!!!" Igot lucky because I could drive home.

What kind of tires do you guys use on your steelies? I just ordered some 195/55/15 to have a lower pro and tighter tire. As you can see, I don't really mind the sunken in and mad wheel gap look. At DD10 my tires were 205/60/15 all season and I think that's why they chunked.

For anyone coming from SOCAL, I'm leaving from Pasadena at about 5AM on Friday morning. Do you think I'll beat Bakersfield traffic and get there in time? Will I hit traffic at all?

nokeone · 12-01-2003, 05:36 PM

i'd leave at 4:30 to be safe..orrrr just come up thursday night and party with us..

jaae86 · 12-01-2003, 05:57 PM

Which motel are you guys gonna be at anyways?

RBS14 · 12-01-2003, 06:08 PM

MOTEL!?!?

hahahahaha

tailgate party till the wee hours of the morning then crash in our cars for a few hours......... watching TONS of drift vids too to get us pumped!
