View Full Version : Thunderhill grip driving events
drftsub 11-10-2005, 11:08 PM Hey all ,
there are some events comming up being put on by a group I have run a few times with ( killed the rwd leg ver 1.0 with em too )
events are cheap and well staffed etc.

Dec . 11 - THUNDERGRIP
all grip driving on track, and some drifting on a cone corse in the paddock.
Jan . 8 - Grip and Slip
Track is split, half drift, half grip
the advantage for people wanting to run grip is that there is usually not a ton of grip guys there which translates into a decent amount of track time. Plus you can watch a bit of drifting too!!

LagnWagn 11-11-2005, 05:13 AM Nice, that Dec 11th date fits nicely on my calendar.
sublime1 11-11-2005, 05:53 AM It's not a bad price either. Might have to try for this event.

If there's other people out drifting on the jan 8th. I might make an appearance. I'll have Josh too. :D (I'm not drifting though)

I'm considering it, if I can get some new pads in time.

sweet.
except I wouldn't want to drive on the track with stock pads, no matter how new they are.
Paul@dbtuned 11-15-2005, 09:19 PM sweet.

PUSSAH!! ;)
Kevin M 11-16-2005, 03:37 AM I would like to make it to at least one... but Miatas don't exactly have an abundance of cargo space for a second set of wheels and tires, and RT615s probably aren't wisely used to cross Donner Summit in December...
pj21086 11-16-2005, 02:25 PM If there's other people out drifting on the jan 8th. I might make an appearance. I'll have Josh too. :D (I'm not drifting though)
Ill bring Aimee too :D.

Y not? Theyre not the best for racing but i dont think there would be a problem with them.
What do u guys think?
Nick Koan 11-16-2005, 03:27 PM Wait, I forgot you're in an STi. Those pads should be decent. If you are fading them, then you should feel proud :D
I'm just thinking of all us sliding caliper guys. I easily faded my brakes at the end of my first track day (but not cause I was any sort of miracle driver or anything).
pj21086 11-16-2005, 05:05 PM Oh ok, so i should be fine. I just sold my wheels too and im getting some new tires for my stocks. Hopefuly my car wont be in the body shop on the 8th.
Anybody know how long tein takes to revalve coilovers?

well, I'm trying to get into some track events, so if anyone else would happen to be going to the same events, I have a van that I could transport multiple sets of wheels in.

I sold my Subaru hitch, but I still have the Tire Tail and it's going up in the classifieds soon. ;)
Kevin M 12-28-2005, 12:32 PM I've been considering getting a small utility trailer to use with the Miata so I can haul tires, toos, jack, etc... but getting a tow dolly and pulling the Miata instead gives more space for hauling and keeps me from getting beat up by whatever suspension ends up on the car.
kidatari 01-05-2006, 02:42 PM Anyone else heading out to the grip n' slip?
