Glad to hear. Stop by and say HI! I'll be in the instructor's area with the red GTO.
 
I've been contemplating on not registering and just showing up on Sunday. I've heard if you find someone that broke down on Saturday or that Sunday, you can take their place and maybe give them a 20 or something for taking their spot. Good friend of mine said every time he has went to RA he has never paid the entry fee.
 
See y'all there! :) I won't be abusing the car on track though. :(
 
Depending on my work schedule, i might come up there to watch. Haven't been the RA in a couple years.
 
No money, I am pushing enough to make it too the BHF's lapping day, and that is in question now due to my summer work(or lack of).
 
^ Pro what happened to WPS?

I would love to go and I have the weekend open but I don't want to spend then $500 on brakes, tires, and race gas.

I wouldn't mind taking someones spot if they break down. Then I wouldn't feel obligated to run the car at 100% all day every session.

I'm not far from the track so I may joy ride over there Sunday to watch Andy test his BBK! I can't imagine what kind of speeds you'll be seeing. I was tipping 130 in my GT and that didn't have nearly the power these 4g63s have.
 
JJ, I got the job, but am not in anyway ready for RA yet. My brakes won't be able to take it, I don't feel I have the tires to have the kind of fun I want to have there. It is my open weekend though, so if I don't work a 12 hour shift that day, then i'll drive up to watch andy.
 
Oh I know what you mean. To run the EVO at warp speed would set me back about a grand for the day. Those carbotech XP12s and NT01s are expensive!!!!

That being said its the longest track in the US and a must do AT LEAST ONCE for a track enthusiast.
 
Dug up some pics from the last time I was there.... Take it easy fellas!!!

Those pic.'s sum up why my car is never getting a lot of cosmetic work.
 
So are you guys that will be there on saturday going to save me a spot!!! I will be showing up sometime saturday afternoon and would like to park the truck/trailer and unload the car and stuff and get it ready for sunday.
 
I will be there at 7 on Sunday morning with my truck/trailer and another friend with just his car. Would it work to save me a spot? - or should I just park with the people coming on Sunday? Anyone coming just on Sunday, feel free to meet me at the farmhouse at 7 if you would like. I'll have a brown '07 Suburban w/ a gray enclosed trailer.

Just had the car on the dyno last weekend to check the tune for this weekend. Should be all set to go.

Were you at the beyond redline dyno day as well??? I will be staying at a hotel saturday night. Hopefully some of you guys that will be there friday/saturday will save us a spot next to you. i should be showing up saturday afternoon with the truck'n'trailer.
 
I will be out there all weekend, If anyone needs any dsm parts to get there car back home or keep racing, I live 10min from the track. I will probably be hanging out by schemauer or underadar if you need to find me.
 
Elvenhome ar you still going around in circles in those stock cars????

Yes, I was at Luke's dyno day with the Archer #33 car. I just wanted to run the car a bit and check the tune before the RA event. 225 hp at 15 psi on pretty much a stock motor. I think the new dyno ther is a bit forgiving as the car only ran 219 hp in exactly the same tune and boost last fall.

Anyone can feel free to call me if they need parts as well. I have a load of misc parts at home and I can take whatever is needed with me and have it to the track when I come early Sunday morning. 920-360-2975. I anyone has a spot for me - call me on that # Sat - or Sun before 7.

Awesome, good to know someone close has parts.

I was there on Sunday and put down 264whp at 17psi on my pump gas tune and I maxed out their A/F's. Their wideband reads a low of 10.3:1, and that's what my A/F ratio read through the entire power band. However i believe i found the boost leak.
