^ Which is why I normally don't do STUSA events. But I might do this one just because a decent number of friends are gonna be driving.

brokeAs240sx · 05-07-2008, 11:33 PM

If Edgar is going, I'm gonna have to come out, hahaha.

I'll see how HTM goes this weekend. I'll see ur n/a, and raise you an automatic transmission! :P

And sorry in advance to the quicker drivers for my slowness, I try not to pile

.

EDIT: that's if I don't get into an autox practice which I've already signed up for, haha.

ronmcdon · 05-08-2008, 12:47 AM

speaking of autoX, speedventures hosted a killer 2-event last weekend at ca speedway. I had like 80-90 runs each day that lasted 30-40 secs per run. was only $80 a day. was like 2 yrs seat time in 1 day, and destroyed the front driver's side Z1 tire on my civic. never had so much fun autoXing in my life! was even better than the annual scca solo2 autoX.

I think speedventures only does this event like once a yr. those of you who autoX in socal and didn't go missed out!

brokeAs240sx · 05-08-2008, 12:54 AM

PIMP! I heard most got 20 or so.

autobahNESSA · 05-08-2008, 01:11 AM

Damn I would love to go to that speedventures event, sounds crazy awesome.

And Eggar, now you MUST go.

UNITEDMASTER · 05-08-2008, 09:50 PM

Hello all Im gonna try & make it out to this ,seeing that there is gonna be some more 240s. Are all of you guys runing in the same group,if so what group.

autobahNESSA · 05-09-2008, 12:21 AM

All of us are going to be in the C group (slow intermediate), hope you can make it!

articdragon192 · 05-09-2008, 02:21 PM

Blah. Im out ;_;

racepar1 · 05-11-2008, 12:59 PM

I'm planning on going saturday and I think driftage240 is too.

sillydrift · 05-11-2008, 02:30 PM

man i wish i can go to this, why do i have to have a bad front wheel bearing

autobahNESSA · 05-11-2008, 02:41 PM

UPDATE** So far, there will be at least 10 240s out there on Saturday May 24!! Siiiiiick

Saturday is "Full - Tentative" on the speedtrialusa.com site.

First post updated.

racepar1 · 05-12-2008, 03:05 PM

I'm all registered for saturday! We should all caravan up together, or at least meet at the macdonalds by the track and roll in together.

UNITEDMASTER · 05-12-2008, 03:59 PM

Hello all, Im paid & registered for SAT & SUN. I have a black coupe so come say what up. Or we can all pit together, if all goes well Im rolling up FRI night. PEACE

Quick question where on the registration site does it ask you for what run group you want ?? I totally missed that part. Its funny how quick the intermidiate groups filled up but beginer & advanced is still pretty empty,Owell we shall see whats what!!!!!

racepar1 · 05-12-2008, 05:02 PM

We should definitely all pit together. 20 or so 240's in a row would be dope!

porkybmx · 05-14-2008, 04:06 AM

I'm going to be there too! Cept...not in a 240....say waht??

Paul2x · 05-14-2008, 09:15 AM

Racepar, nice to see you'll be out their.

racepar1 · 05-14-2008, 12:47 PM

Don't tease me Paul! I fully accept that I will most likely get my ass kicked! LOL!

But I have r-compounds now too!

Seriously though it will be cool to have a bunch of 240's/zilvia guys out there. The last 2 events I was pretty much all alone.

Snowball!!!??? EEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!! LOL! I should have my hankook z-214's, full slick with 2 circumferential grooves!

Unfortuanetly I have to run 245's untill I get a real diff and 4.6 ring and pinion. 275/40/17 would just be too tall, especially with the 3.92 ring and pinion in my j-30 vlsd. I really hope you can make it though.

autobahNESSA · 05-20-2008, 02:54 AM

Hi! Updated with more people and the weather is going to be FANTASTIC!!! I am soooo excited!

We should try to set up a group to drive up together.
Me and some friends will be staying overnight at some hotel (haven't chosen one yet) on Friday night. Anyone else going to stay overnight?

racepar1 · 05-20-2008, 11:31 AM

We should all meet at the mc donalds by the track between 6:30 and 7 or so and roll in together from there.

a_ahmed · 05-20-2008, 12:02 PM

Make lots of videos and pictures hehe

racepar1 · 05-20-2008, 04:23 PM

Sooooooo, who's down to meet up at the mickey d's? I am trying to get all the 818 guys to meet up at the 818 meet spot (see thread in the regional section) and leave by 5:30 AM so that we can meet all the other zilvia guys at the mickey d's at around 6:30. That way we can all chill for a while and get some breakfast before we go out and play all day!

autobahNESSA · 05-20-2008, 05:37 PM

Okay! Me, Steve s14, and sr20detman are going to meet you guys up at mcDeez at 7!

racepar1 · 05-20-2008, 05:55 PM

Sweet! Lookin forward to it! Anybody else?

autobahNESSA · 05-23-2008, 08:13 PM

WOO! Off to SOW! See you guys tomorrow morning at 7am!

racepar1 · 05-23-2008, 10:51 PM

Looks like all the 818 guys aren't interested, but I'll be there! No r-compounds though, the hankook guy dropped the ball!

racepar1 · 05-24-2008, 08:50 PM

I just got home from the event and it was a blast! The organization was pretty meh, but it was still a load of fun. I got some good pics of some of the zilvia members that attended and a couple pics from the drift event that was at the balcony. At the nasa event at the big track a guy driving a mini in one of the HPDE groups flipped in turn 9 and apparently is in pretty bad shape. They had to send the medevac helicopter for him and there are rumors of amputations giong around. We should all pray for him and his family. It is one thing for a real racer to get hurt, he KNOWS and fully accepts the risks of what he is doing, but a HPDE driver is just out there to have fun and is not necessarily 100% aware of what can happen. It really sucks! I will post the pics that I have tomorrow night. Good luck and have fun to all the guys going tomorrow!

autobahNESSA · 05-24-2008, 10:40 PM

When we were driving home, we saw it on a flat bed tow truck and it was really difficult to see how anyone can survive by the damage to the car. I'm glad to hear he's still alive though. Hopefully he'll pull through alright.

Can't wait to see your pics! I had sooooo much fun!
