Track this weekend?

anyone planning on going tonight (friday) or tomorrow?

Got the motor broken in and the oil changed so I wanna get some baseline times before I start modding.

I'm gonna take a nap now....we'll see how I feel in a couple hours and if anyone is planning to go tonight.

Don't know if I'm going to make it out or not. Since I run 50% 100 octane almost all the time now the $6/gallon makes me REALLY chang about driving far. Plus my clutch won't hold up to more than a pass or two at it's current depth so my desire to subject it to significant abuse is dwindling...

I'd love to go out thee and shoot the **** though. Maybe I can borrow Erin's Rav?

*bump*

Anybody going out to HRP tonight?

All my friends are going to the "Piranha Room" (and Erin's working) so I've gotta find somethin' else to keep me busy.

I'll be there tonight. I like to get my runs in early before it gets to busy. What time do the gates open?

P.S. Richard, what tire pressure do you recommend for the stock wheels/tires?

i'm sure i'm like alotta ppl on here & wish that i could make it out to the tracks ( gotta make some comment about the thread ) ...

On a side note & not to hijack the thread... who else's wife/gf has a Rav4 ??

she teases me that she'll hang with a rav4 crew since i'm always about the wrx.

much aloha ...

MR2,

It's pretty easy to spin the stockers... I'd say drive there with 35-38psi in them and drop them steadily until you start to get a good hook.

Either that or drive there with stock tire pressure and roll through the water to help spin 'em at the line.

Stock tires RULE on the dragstrip!

like I said in the other thread, ... Dan should be there already, I'm headed that way, Ed should be too, and Mike is supposed to when he gets back from the plane ride home.
