With SRF's again? Ugh.

Ehhh, maybe. It'll probably be a "It's Tuesday before the event and the weather looks good/bad." kind of thing.

Get within three seconds of my record, and maybe then I'll start feeling the pressure to come and defend it.:eclipsee_steering:


The thing is, I'm going to try and do the VIR double the following weekend, so I don't want to bang/blow anything up and have only four'ish days to fix it. I've been trying to get to VIR for about four years now, and I'm doing it this year, damnit! :D But if it looks nice and sunny out that weekend, I might say screw it, and come do it anyways.

[downingracing]

Shawn ITC and I ITA will be there. I think Dave Brown might come out as well SM/ITA. We should be bringing a new racer Dan Hardison running SSC. My brother might come with the Ford SSC - if I can talk him into it... Maybe this year I can go a little faster and not hit anything! High hopes I know, but you got to shoot for something (besides another wall). :eclipsee_steering:

As long as I make it through driver's school in one piece I'll be there! :blink:

Just make sure to bring some beer for me to "borrow"...
:birra:

[downingracing]

Steve....... I thought you knew me by now. The FIRST item to pack for a race weekend is Beer. I usually have a cooler full of it. I do bring a small bag of chips to eat for the weekend, so its not like I only bring Beer... :D Heck, I've left things like my license, logbook, tools. But I've never left the Beer. There will be plenty for you to "borrow". Looking forward to having a few with you!!!

[spdmonkey]

As Matt said, I should be there. Unless that 12% thing comes into play and I only have one arm. I may be slow, but I'll be present. I may even be close to weight if I can borrow a couple arms to help me remove a few extras from my car. Like the AC. Better not be 90's that weekend.

Does anyone know if there will be tire support at the track that weekend?

Russell,
They have always traditionally been there, but I cannot guarantee 100% that they will be - we have not been notified yet and usually are not until just a few days before the event.

You don't want to go to local tires Sunday morning again?

[R2 Racing]

Well damn, if Russel's going to be there...


I ask this every year, but whatever: What time zone is Indy in right now?

[GT240sx]

Indy is in the Eastern time zone and observes daylight savings time when it applies.

I bet those orange honda's could set a new track record this year.....

Nah, I doubt that. If I come, it'll just be a shakedown to make sure everything's working ok. Trying to race again the following weekend, so I'd hate to bang something up.

Why do I feel like I use to gain an hour when driving out there? I might be losing my mind. I am getting kind of old now.:shrug:

[Racerlinn]

Yep, thankfully we joined the 20th and possibly 21st century.
We are now EST and observe DST.
I love having the sun still up after 8:00 pm.... :happy204:

[R2 Racing]

Yup, I played golf until 8 tonight. :happy204:

Is there going to be roundy-round racing I can illegally sneak into on Saturday night this year? Being that you're EST now, the sun will still be up for prime beer drinking hours.:cool:

Nope, no roundy-round. As much fun as it is to sneak in, it plays complete havoc with our schedule on Saturday afternoon. We have screamed and bitched enough about it that they have finally figured out that they cannot use other parts of the facility on the weekends we are running. Really, this is a good thing.

How about a foot race between you and Downing in the paddock? First one to have a coronary wins?
:eek: :smilie_pokal:

:eek: :smilie_pokal:
Only if he has at least five cigarettes in his mouth, and has done at least four Tequilla shots. Man.....I'd still lose.:(

[downingracing]

Heck - who are we kidding... I'd probably crash into a wall on the warm up! :blink:

Kevin, Are you goung to show for this one or still planning to skip it for VIR?

In a ball of fire....

Kevin, is Ian bringing the little booger-colored car?

[R2 Racing]

VIR is still priority #1, but like I said, if a couple of days prior the weather looks really good for the ORP weekend, I'll probably go. I kind of want to shake the car down (and me) before making the VIR trip, but not at the risk of ORP in less than stellar weather.:o

Ian won't be at ORP, but he's still kind of thinking about VIR.

[spdmonkey]

Less than 2 weeks to green flag and no smack talk? :shrug: What is this? Everybody still asleep from winter.

My entry is going in tomorrow.:eclipsee_steering:

Run ITA with us and I'll give ya a smack. :p

[downingracing]

Entered the Civic yesterday. Now just need to get it back together... If I don't get it done, I can always bring the Ford, but I really want to shake down the Civic!

Fixed that for you.

[downingracing]

Nice Steve... I'll be sure to wave when I lap you! :p

[TAC]

Nice Steve... I'll be sure to wave when I lap you! :p

I'll wave at all of you. Just don't stop at my corner station. :cool:

Drove my car yesterday for the first time since the ARRC. That pleased me.

Also got my annual tech done today, complete with new logbook. Four years = one completed log book. I've ran the crap out of that car!

Hopefully the crappy weather this weekend means nice weather for next.

The Cheif Weather Steward says all will be perfect. :happy204:

[downingracing]

Civic is running (finally) and ready to go. (or as ready as it ever is before I show up at the track!!!) Looking forward to a great weekend. Don't know what time we will be arriving on Friday - depends on when I can get dyno time scheduled - might be Friday before coming over... Either way, I'm sure we will get nice and plowed by Friday night!!

[spdmonkey]

A few technical difficulties now solved. Kevin Ruck's dad made me some awesome NASCAR bars for the door and a few more odds and ends to do like install a seat and belts. In the midst of cleaning the house for a party and getting the car done I did not send the entry in yet. Will the late fee be waived? Its bad enough that the extra fee for SM applies to regionals maybe I will become ITA only.

[downingracing]

Talk nice to Steve and maybe he can get your late fee waived. He might be slow (on track), but at least he is nice (sometimes)!!! :D

[spdmonkey]

come on now Matt. I think he was faster than me last year. Although I was driving with one foot for 3 pedals and one arm....

[downingracing]

And he was faster than me on Sunday once I crashed... :eclipsee_steering:

Just giving you a hard time Steve... Can't wait to have a few with you on Friday night!!

[datadude]

All sessions are posted to Mylaps. Search Neohio and you will find 2 events.

[GT240sx]

Thanks for putting the laps up datadude. Also, a big THANKS to the workers and the officials for a good race weekend.

[spdmonkey]

Got the trophy pics today. Thanks! You guys would have to shoot the side of my car thats smashed up though:eek:. In any case Its nice to actually get a trophy again so I am absolutely not picky. See you back in Sept. Maybe July.
