Mfba To Host Open Track @ Road America

[Elvenhome21]

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.

Yes and no, I just sold my super late model but I still have the Mid-am. I still have all the dsms except Frankenstein (green Talon), I never should have sold that darn car.

If the weather is good on sunday I might bring out the mid if theres an open spot and I can get the TO bearing changed and shifter linkages adjusted.

anyone bringing a big heater??? looks like it will be a little nipplie out. Great turbo weather though. Also better bring a set of rains for the event, maybe even snow tires.

I will probably show up to watch. Is there an entry fee just to get in?

Yup, loading up the car tomorrow morning and should be on the road by noon at least. All depends on the freeeakin weather. Its snowing here and I am chapped! The group that is running the event says they will still run as long as the track is not snow covered. Which after a few cars drive on it the snow will turn to water.

 

[Elvenhome21]

last spring there were 1.5 foot tall snow banks in the line up lane.

 

[talonTSIDriver]

I am glad I picked sunday, partly cloudy and a high of 41. Today is rain/snow, high of 37.

 

[talonTSIDriver]

I dropped the truck/trailer off a few hours ago.

For those of you that will be there tomorrow (sunday), if you see this car stop and say hi.

Had a good day. The Archer car ran well, except for the starter going out after the first session. Push starts the rest of the day. It's always fun handing those Z06's their lunch. TalonTSI driver - I was waiting for you to stop by before a session for a ride, but we couldn't get it done. Your car did look fast. Hopefully next time!

Yeah, you own me a ride yet.

Your car looked MUCH faster!!! I was very impressed!! I wanted to try playing some cat/mouse with you, but my passanger demanded me to pull into the pits and let him out otherwise he was about to let something out in my car. Oh well, You would have killed me i think.

....Thats funny, I have gotten that before too. Its funny, my girlfriend can ride with me for as long as I want to be on track. But other "big bad" men cant last a full 20 minute session.

Pics & video coming Andy ??? When you get a chance

 

[spartan]

Andy thanks for the ride yesterday. As I said it was my first time on a road course. I immediatly went home and began to make a list of all the things I need to fix on my galant before I can get out and have some fun.

Half the day i ran on my street rubber which were Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's, and then i switched to some Toyo Proxy RA1's. To be honest, i think my SPT's did just as well maybe even better than my RA1's.

I like to slide around!!!

I see. Well, better you than me I guess I do not like to slide at ALL. Although I do sometimes

You'll actually see me slide a bit on the in car video. A few times when i was the only one on the track (or at least when no one was near me) i'd do the little Scandinavian flick and power slide through a few turns. its fun!!!

Here is part 1. This was the last session of the day where they combined some groups. These cobra's and vettes were in group A (Assertive group) which is full of the "big boys." I thought i did very well. I have half the HP they do (264whp), and they are all running full race rubber. This is also my first time at Road America. I had pure blast chasing these guys down!!!
