I'll be running in Advanced but if it's too fast I'm going to drop down to Intermediate...

Looks like there will be a couple of us going... That's tight...

I'm going to drive up on Saturday evening... Rooms are only $38.95 for the night at the Super 8 Motel...

Hell yeah...

I'll be there with two S2000s, a K20 EG, and a DC2 Type R...

Some serious late night track prep going on right now... This is going to be fun...

tacotacotaco · 12-13-2007, 01:20 PM

Nice last track event we put together my car over the span of 2 all nighters. There should be a good crowd of itr's coming out. this is gonna be pretty damn fun.

Daryl · 12-13-2007, 02:15 PM

I'm glad to see more Silvia enthusiasts up for grip driving. You guys really have potential with that light weight chassis. What run groups is everyone running in? I'll be in Group A (Advance). I know there will be plenty of my FF buddies there this Sunday.

steve shadows · 12-13-2007, 02:45 PM

I might be in advance...

Well this is where all the 240 GRIP people are runing, with STUSA. I will make sure to put select STUSA events on the calender for 08. See ya at the track

tacotacotaco · 12-13-2007, 02:57 PM

2008 looks to be a great year for grip racing and s-chassis. Most of us from the irvine group are just about finished with building up our brakes and suspension so no more real excuses. Push as hard as we can N/A and maybe start looking for some power. So Nitin hopefully well be seeing a lot of each other at the track.

Hopefully these s chasis will join us in NASA ST2 class this coming year as its lonely being the only 240 mixed in with ferrari's, evos, etc... Wish I could go to this event but the race car is still in pieces. Have fun and stay safe.

jayesone · 12-13-2007, 04:30 PM

hey nit, hit me up, I might need your help hooking up this meter. I might be able to hit up the track too.

Nikeboy355 · 12-13-2007, 04:33 PM

Hell yeah... '08 will be a great year for S-chassis cars...

I'm also working with the guys who put these events on to give us a DISCOUNT if we can get a group going... I'll let you guys know if I can get us a deal...

For sure I'll be going to every Buttonwillow event next year...

If you guys have pics of your cars and the significant mods... Post them up...

Damn! You have over 200whp more than I do and probably close to 250lbs of more torque ahhaah. You're going to be carrying tons of speed entering the Esses!

*kognition* · 12-13-2007, 08:24 PM

Word, my shizzles in pizizles too. Otherwise i'd go.

steve shadows · 12-13-2007, 09:18 PM

click the link in my sig

It's lower than that now by about 1.2 inches

I think the car wieghs 2750 with me in it and a full tank

I will probably rig up some ducting for the brakes, already have a custum duct I made for air to to get to the turbo.

The car made 400whp on pump at 18, I might run 20 psi and 91 with a touch of 111 mix though

we shall see

It's my first event in the car at a large track

Hello I have had my eye on the classing in NASA for us that have SR20s. Im looking to do the Enduro at Big Willow later in the year . Where in the charts do you usually finish, & qualify IMO it will be real tough to be at the top of the charts in ST2 (depending on what cars show up) & for enduros SRs will be in unlimited (ES)

.

ZodiacSR · 12-14-2007, 09:06 AM

Wow!! Finally a large group of 240's are going to the track and I won't be able to make it! (Going out of the country)

Hopefully theres a large turnout and this stays consistent into next year for me to join up with you guys!

Have fun and stay safe everyone.
