Kevin, Lonnie, and I will all be there. I believe a few other regulars will be there as well.
http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmEve...227096567972049 (IMG:http://www.robmeadway.com/esp.jpg) I'm going to take Lonnie to school...yeah right (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll just be happy not to embarass myself too bad. I'm already working on excuses like I'm only on old 275's...he was spraying nitrous...my magnets are heavier than his decals. |

I've been using that one, but we've been winning.....(that's not making some of the others feel any better (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) ). It's not that I can drive, just that the car is fast (fast enough?), in spite of me. |

I knew you'd chime in. I remember when those Nitto's were new. I think Sean ran an entire season on them and then Evolution phase II. Maybe you're just a glutton for punishment?

Maybe you're just a glutton for punishment? I always chime in.....it's what I do..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) I'm sure they have between 140 and 200 passes on them. I think I (and my various co drivers) have put over 70 passes on them since I bought them. I can't believe I haven't seen cords yet..... (It's too late in the season to buy fresh rubber now, we'll just nurse them along). I know, I'll loan you my tires (and the excuse) and use yours for this event..... |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) [trash talk off] I just hope I can lay off the cones. For the last couple events I've been coning like crazy, which is unusual for me. This post has been edited by axoid: Aug 10 2005, 04:49 PM |

I just realized I forgot my best excuse the car's roll center is 3" lower and this will be its first autocross like that. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I think Lonnie's tires could use some armor-all err traction compound. |

I was thinking of running in SM2 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/whip.gif)
I wouldn't worry much. Drive right without bone head mistakes and stay on the gas HARD when you can, and it'll be a good battle. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I think Lonnie's tires could use some armor-all err traction compound. This might be the last event on my tires. My front tire on the passenger side is completely smooth. No grooves. No wear indicators. Running 3/4" toe out will do that....And yes I did fix that. I'm at 1/8" out now..... I'm considering getting two more front tires to end the season but may not. I've got a couple ideas up my sleeve for next year, and may hold off for this year.

So you're telling me there's a possibility you could make events at this location in the future? We'll have to plan something. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Sam came to one of our events last year (he was picking up wheels in Columbus for the MR2, so he just towed his car and ran that day). He PAX'd first overall that day (shocking I know). Sam, I'll be calling about a Centerforce clutch sometime today. |

I remember that day-I couldn't make it for some reason. Hopefully Sam will drop by again some time.

If he does, I just hope I have race tires. The last time I had just corded two of my R tires and I was stuck on streets. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)
Why don't we try to get a bunch of F-body cars in for an event, maybe the Oct. 16th which is OVR's cancer charity event. It would make for a good excuse. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
