Grattan - Memorial Day Weekend

[R2 Racing]

Ian was complaining yesterday that no one had started a Grattan thread yet, so here we go. We'll be there with me in my ITA Integra, Ian in his ITA CRX, and my Dad in his ITC Civic.

Best Saturday night dinner of them all, hands down.

So, you coming?

[Eagle7]

You becha, if ISC has my splitter in stock (ran out of talent on Friday's test day).

[iagreen]

Yea! I didn't start the thread. Should be fun. 1st time to Grattan.

[Rabbit07]

Sorry I can't make it, first time in 5 years......

Have fun, see you guys at Mid-O

Me too - I think it will be my first time in 5 years not to make it. Taking my time getting the car fixed and back together. Might consider doing the 'other' Grattan race this fall... I really like the track/hosting region/party/fun! See you all at Mid-Ohio!

You guys saying Mid Ohio as in the IT Fest or the OVR restricted regional?

I just sent in my registration for the OVR Race. I may even run in DP? I need seat time at Mid-O before the IT Spectacular.

Play nice at Grattan...... :P

[downingracing]

I'm the co-race chair for the National/R Regoinal for OVR, so I'll be working all weekend. And I won't have the car done by then... My next event should be the IT Fest. in August.

[x1/9racer]

I will be there. No Matt Downing, though, so all you ITA guys should have a chance

[StevenS]

I'll be there. Sorry to hear that Cat Killer and Downing won't be there, we ran close together the last couple of races at Grattan.

Great fun TRYING to keep up with Chris at Waterford 2 weekends ago, and Downing and I had a blast at the Mid-O WOR games last fall. I will definitely miss seeing you guys at Grattan!

I'm pretty sure Alex MacDonald (ITA CRX) and Jan Rief (ITA Integra) will be coming to keep Ruck and Moser busy at the front of the pack...

I'm looking forward to running with some other quick cars I know well. I need some help confirming or denying a couple of questions I have about my car but haven't had a real measure to go against.

I'm not sure if the Moser's are going to be there. I talked to them a couple of weeks ago and they were unsure. I think Bob was going to head down to Florida for some fishing, but there's a chance Joey might show up.

Hopefully Jan listened to me and won't blow up any axles this time. :P

[Joe Moser]

Sounds like a great weekend, but I'm heading down to Florida for some diving and fishing too... There is a good chance I'll be at the OVR restricted at Mid-O, but there is a Triathlon race that weekend too... I haven't decided yet! The summer is short, too much to do

I need to get back on some Hoosiers soon! We did a back to back at Gingerman and found 3+ second difference from Toyo's to Hoosier's!! (Granted, we aren't even close to having our cars setup for Toyo's, they feel like hell so far - Car is an Understeering pig with Toyo's... Any suggestions?)

Have fun out there!

[GT240sx]

I am planning on making it up there.....at least right now I am. Hopefully my car and driver are a little better and I can chase Marty the Eagle around the track.....

Hey, I already gave you all of the advice on those retched tires that I could.

You're going to Putnam this weekend, right? The H4 record there is mine, so hands off!

[CaptJon]

I should be there ...... first trip there so my learning curve should be pretty steep.

[esuvee]

As Steve mentioned, I'll be there as always on memorial day. This year (yes, Kevin, this has to be brought up again) I'll set Kevin's clock back *20 minutes* instead of the 10 that worked so well last year .

BTW, my 'loose wheel bearing' that was bothering me throughout Sunday's race on Labor day weekend at Grattan turned out to be a completely broken hub, thank god for a good stake on the axle nut! I'm hoping a properly attached wheel will be worth a few tenths next weekend.

Don't forget to turn right at T5A (after the jump). I've been known to go left. Didn't work out all that well.

I do not find your post amusing.... <_< Eventhough that clock is still in the RV, with fresh batteries, I never trust that damn thing anymore.

Speaking of that, anyone want to save us a spot in the infield where we can fit a 70ft rig and three cars? :P

Can you have dogs at Grattan?

I did that same thing twice last September....it&#39;s a lot rougher than it looks out there in the grass.

You weren&#39;t out there dodging my wrecked heap of a car, were you?

(BTW, my in-car from that can be found on youtube right now if anyone wants to see it. I&#39;d get the link, but my work sucks and blocked youtube. )
