For the people who went to epping wednesday

[mackey]

Take the swaybar off at home and leave it there. The track prepping wasn't that bad. I was able to cut 2.1 60's on some stock street tires which almost never hook.

I usually find a area without much "traffic" (people around) to put my Spare tire at. Usually near the trees so no one sees it. That sheds of about 10 pounds. Im not gonna be able to go in the next week or so. Cause Mr. Kenne Bell teh supercharger goes in muahahhahahahhahahaha Catch me now foolz!!!!!!

You lucky dog...
Is it supposed to rain tomorrow night??

I'had a couple stab at the throttle at various lights around twon today, and I'v come to the conclusion that I need to practice launching, cuz I hav NO TRACTION! I've even tried to laucndh slower, but I guess i hae to just keep practicing.
So how is traction @ the track vs. traction on the street? I just don't want to spend all my 1st night just learning how to launch on the track. I suppose, however, that's how it goes, huh??

does that little battery hold-down at the bottom of the battery at count as a "battery-hlod-down" per tech inspection?

I personally think that traction on the street is MUCH better!

That SUCKS

Oh well, practice, practie, practice!!

i was planning on heading over to epping tomorow but looks like its gonna rain. I ran a 13.8 up in canada wonder what it would be at epping

 

[Hiltonizer]

Traction on the track is better than the street in my opinion... on the street 2nd is usually useless cuz of wheel spin under full acceleration... the track it just chirps a tad.

 

[jaymac]

I hope it's better. Otherwise, my times=

Yes that is what they are talking about and it does indeed count.

 

[jaymac]

Are you serious...what kind of tires do you have on that beast. 195/70s

Seriously first gear is an issue for me all the time. i spin alittle on the street on the 1-2 shift. and alot more at the track. i have had some real bad wheel hop on the 1-2 at Epping
