You better be talking about arlo guthrie - if its woody, you are older than I thought! And no hogging of the outlet!
But I do think I will hit Target and buy one of those 20$ battery powered fans.

And I will sure to place my tent so that the bears will encounter you folks first. And then once you are asleep, I will smear some honey to make sure they look for you first.

Hmmm - don't know about the camping bit. But, I hear there is an alleged skid pad.

Ok question--- my track pads(front carbo tech xp-8's) are down to approx 1/4inch --speck on stock pads is 0.079 but I am not sure if it is replacement time or get one one w/e out of them. Thoughts?

I will not be camping but look forward to the camaraderie. OD, OnRails will be joining us in DE3 I believe. I hope my new tires have half the integrity they did at CMP. Can't wait to see how the gearing works out. Especially turn 7 and what I wind up with down the hill to turn 10a.

You are correct sir. It would be nice if I could get a ride with someone else or get someone to take a ride with me the first session.

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I dont have enough seattime to feel comfortable in DE3. I still could stink up DE1.

OD - why not join me in TTD?

is DE 1 still open?

I wish I could just take pictures, since there will be so many of you guys out on track. But i really want to drive at RR and need that one last worker credit.

L8APEX

how many points did you rack up to end up in TTD, and how close were you to moving to TTC?

TrackAddict

Base class: TTD (no points assessed)
RA1 Tires: 5
Bilstein shocks: 3
RB springs: 2
RB Sway bar: 2
RB Intake: 1
RB Catback: 1
Agency crank pulley: 1

Total: 15 points with 4 to spend.

If I go to Hoosier tires, I get bumped up to TTC. I'd have to remove 1 point to stay in TTD. Same with the RB flash. That is 5 points right there.

funny you should mention--i have been thinking about that. Too late for this event as I have already enrolled ---but RR in Sept--its a maybe---heck Silver could also

looking at the scoring system you just posted --i would be in the TTC ---i have the hoosiers --TTC would be a differant ball game wouldnt it?

the low TTC time at CMP was a 1:59. I had a couple laps at 2:00 flat, and 2:01 when there was no traffic. OD, and TA, you could both do TTC if you wanted. I am sure i would end up in TTC, if I ever went that far with it, since I have coilovers, and both RB bars.

TrackAddict

It doesn't matter if you have front and rear or just one. Bars is bars. Remember that classing is based on car speed as well. In TTC the RX8 would have its *** handed to it at Road Atlanta.

olddragger

iTrader: (3)

yea you are right--all those m3's out there.
i just looked a little closer and here is my score
1- tires +6 (since I am only running a 225/45 which is 20mm more narrow(hehe) than stock the rules credit me with 4 points---hooray!!
2-puller +1
3 Cat back +1
4 Springs +2
5 Bars+2
6- shocks +3
intake +1
thats 16 points
I wonder how much the midpipe is in points?
So looks like I could do TTD!! Lets all do this at RR. My only problem is I have not completed a hpde 4 session. I wonder if I would be able to get around that.
olddragger

TrackAddict

I don't think it would matter if you have not done HPDE4 as that seems to have become the instructor group. It does allow for open passing without a pointby like TT so maybe run HPDE4 at Road Atlanta as prep for TT at RR??

dbright007

OD - Stock tires are 225/45 so be careful counting on those bonus points! Everybody seems to swap to the 245, but OEM is 225 IIRC.

Confirmed. I signed the Miata up. Am pretty confident it and I will be ready to go!
Really didn't want to sign up till I was sure, but I saw DE-2 and 3 are full, so jumped on DE-1 before it filled up.

Stop&TurnFreak

If I don't the r32 doesn't get the TT kit, guess who else will be in TTD?

Also, I noticed they redid the rules, when I had my Evo, it was base TTB, and with very few mods, it was TTA. Now, they have it base TTC. Comparing my times (when it was stock) to times in TTC from CMP this weekend, I would have been about +6s faster than that. My bst in a stock evo, well I had a rear sway, was a 1:53:90, but I was consistent in the 1:55's with Yokos A046's, not R's.

I can't wait till RA. I am oing to be RUSTY.
