What are your goals for your 1st trip back to the track when it opens...

Sadly, I don't have any goals yet when it comes to racing..I'm truly happy with the way the car is now. I still think he has an 11.7 or 11.6 in him (based on the fact that I came off of the juice on the launch of the 11.8 run)..but I wanna be careful not to push my luck too much. He has been more than good to me and I don't want to destroy him. I think next season will be mostly a "show" season for me with only a couple of trips to the track. I know I sound nuts, but my car is my baby...I'd like to keep it that way. :cool: <hr></blockquote>

Understandable but since no one reads the autocross section wasn't goign to ask there goals for that, I am currently thinking... Eibach all 4 corners, maybe some fresh slp takeoffs shocks, 35/19mm sway setup, and use my stock 16x8s for autocrossing tires, as soon as I get some tires for my 17x9s...

yea, our track closed for Xmas and new years and that was it.

First time out? repeat my 14.7 with what minimal mods i have, and go ~14.4 with my recently aquired drag radials.


end of year? have a few suspension mods planned, and some others, all bolt ons, want to go 14.2 and MAYBE 13.999 (with a sweet run on an unusually 0% humidity day in cincinnati) with NO wieght redux.

Any where between a 13.00 to a 12.5 at what ever trap my car deems neccisary.... on 22 psi XD!!

oh yea... and to not break
A: Center diff
B: Transfercase
C: Rear End
D: Clutch/flywheel assymbly

I want to at least run 14.9's with the 3.42's and Lsd I just got installed. I'm going to the track this friday if it's not raining.

HOLY hell jsut found out the track is open on wednesday... hopefully I can get my tranny mount form GM on tuesday as scheduled, so I can slap that sucker on, maybe unhook the catback and see if I can squeeze a little more out of this $0 mod car [img]smile.gif[/img]

You're lucky...I'd go just to watch. It's funny when you realize how much you miss racing when the weather is crappy. It's been really cold in NJ...single digits.. :( can't wait til' Spring!

I threw in a new tranny mount and trying something else that costs $0 to see if I can sneak any more new bests in....

Orlando SpeeedWorld....

YOu sohoudl definiteloy go to Morosso its much better then OSW but if you want ot make a real drive just for a track I hear BMP Brandenton Motorsports park is the best one in the state, then Gainesville is next on the list...

OSW isn't that great but its 10 minutes from my house [img]smile.gif[/img]

I hear you on that one... did a fair bit of street racing back when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale... that 2 hour trip in rush hour traffice ot Morosso sucked...

[Tyler]
