gundarx 10-19-2008, 03:57 PM We had a big handful of 8s go to the free track event. Many were there as early as 6am (I heard this from other people who registered late too.. so I guess our 8s were pretty famous/infamous?). Doesn't hurt to be a bit overprepared :lol2:
It was nice to meet dills, kersh, firstrotary and to see many familiar faces from our club on the track. I didn't stray too far away from my car (because of the creeping waiting line of cars) so I missed a couple 8s like nycqps's. Anyway, here are my pics.

Happy birthday Chris!

Transam kid 01 10-19-2008, 06:37 PM Looks like a lot of fun! I wish I had my car back :(
How was the track?
chrism 10-19-2008, 07:02 PM track was no joke....the experienced groups had one instructor in front and then the rest of us followed the lines....so we were moving at a decent speed around the track.....good enough for 2 rx8's to spin out and a g35 to hit a wall
WinningRX8Chick 10-19-2008, 07:05 PM i was the only WB...:-(
Haha, sorry I couldn't have made it a duo! WB FTW.

chris, looked gloomy, but fun!
g35 into the wall? that is sad. :(
and btw, happy bday bitch! in my lex and terry voice..
beers :beer:
L337fpc 10-19-2008, 07:47 PM out of 5 runs, 2 of them were ripping around each corner. The other 3 where behind FWD cars....FTL.
At the straight away i hit redline in 3rd every time just before slamming on the brakes for the next turn. So much fun!
nycgps 10-19-2008, 07:59 PM only 5 runs in total? well, I left after my 2nd run so ...
man, I wanna see the pics of the crashed G35 :( I think I know which one, cuz I think I saw only 1 G35, it was Grey, I think. driver is ok right ?
The track day was great ! my first run had an instructor with me (cuz I was leading pace car) He taught me lots of stuff. like how to cut time, turn in corners, braking, where to accelerate/decelerate. on my 2nd Run I fell to the last place because I was trying to "follow/learn" what the instructor has taught me, Damn that white Mazdaspeed 3 he thought that I cant catch up. blah. maybe next time.
NYC Drift King 10-19-2008, 08:05 PM I got 6 runs in................ Oh hey i dont know the name of the person who lent me the helmet. But Thank you........! i will be bring it to the tursday night meet....... fyi all my runs were good.
But in "one" run a Rx8 in front of me spun out in the morning. Then in the afternoon another Rx8 spun out behined me. WOW. Either they're trying to hard to get away or trying to hard to keep up lol. j/k. i'm just glad everyone was OOOK.
i will be adding some pics soon.

damn I didnt get my t-shirts :(
NYC Drift King 10-19-2008, 09:04 PM Just posted pics ....
CoNsRx7 10-19-2008, 09:10 PM that car is DONE...
nycgps 10-19-2008, 09:34 PM Yep, its the grey G35.
thruout the whole morning I only saw one, so gotta be that one.
That car is soooo totalled :( dont think insurance covers it. total lost right there.
kersh4w 10-19-2008, 10:23 PM my pics.

and omar, i didnt spin out, i was just practicing my arab drifting. check out 1:40, practice makes perfect! :lol:
RXallan 10-19-2008, 10:23 PM you guys sure like your hoodies in NJ !
kersh4w 10-19-2008, 10:27 PM and check out 2:55 too! thats exactly what i wanted to do! i swear!
what we really wanted were winter parkas. it was cold.
HockeyRX-8 10-19-2008, 10:51 PM Nice pics guys. I still wish i could have went with you guys :(
RX927 10-19-2008, 11:04 PM I got my free t-shirt, they were basiclly begging people at the end to take them.
LOl omar, It wasnt a spin out, it was a "tactical move to counter the understeer".
The vredistiens i had in the front killed the runs with the understeer but other than that the 8 makes one hell of a track car.
alfy28 10-19-2008, 11:13 PM Nice pics, thanks for sharing. also this IS looks sick
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f201/alfy27/IS.jpg
RX927 10-19-2008, 11:14 PM nycgps it was the black G35.
I saw him oversteer, then either his "anti-stupid" kicked in or he paniced, next thing is see is his car fishtailing and then kaboom.
kersh4w 10-19-2008, 11:28 PM wait... you saw him understeer then he oversteered?
or he oversteered and kept oversteering?
RX927 10-19-2008, 11:48 PM He Understeered, then either he or the car corrected it, in the proccess the back kicked out and sent him into the wall. There was serious body roll and braking through all of this as if the car or him was trying to correct it.
Once i get the camera uploaded you might be able to picture the fail better. I have a picture of him coming out of the turn, one of him sliding, and then the crash aftermath.
I was trying to get the pics of the skylines running as they were in the same run but ended up withh the g35 crash
L337fpc 10-20-2008, 05:18 AM yo nyc you got a nice shot of my wb, ty. lol.
chrism 10-20-2008, 05:57 AM nothing like racing on a cold day huh......but just so you see if 2 8's can spin and a g35 can crash we werent just putting around.....it was controlled but it was fast

Good lord that was randomly awesome.
dillsrotary 10-20-2008, 08:37 AM holy *** i can't believe what happened to that G35!!
Also those 3 skyline R33's were wicked fast, and sounded great too.
NYC Drift King 10-20-2008, 09:23 AM Everyone that was their please post your pix. I wanna see. It was such a great day. Oh shot let me get back to work LOL (I love this Iphone).
nycgps 10-20-2008, 10:11 AM I took a few shots but not much. It was too much fun that sometimes I "forgot that I have da camera"
rofl, @ the track I kept my gear in 3rd position the whole time.maybe thats why it was slow, but hey, thats why I never spin/crash rofl :P
Was the G35 black ? u sure ? ... hmmm ......
when did the accident happen anyway? near the end of the day ? or ?

I was in 2nd the whole time, then the straight I was 3rd and a couple times 4th.
nycgps 10-20-2008, 10:18 AM I was in 2nd the whole time, then the straight I was 3rd and a couple times 4th.
on my 1st run the instructor was in my car (i was the pace car) and told me to keep it in 3rd, its for safety issue. thats why I did the same thing even in my 2nd run.
L337fpc 10-20-2008, 10:29 AM there were a few times where i wanted to pass the FWD car/s in front of me...
nycgps 10-20-2008, 10:35 AM oh forgot to ask, Is the owner of the G35 that old guy holding the helmet ?
dillsrotary 10-20-2008, 12:49 PM More pics of the damaged G35 are here.

Kafka 10-20-2008, 03:32 PM Nice pics...just word of advice...try to PS your licence plate out please...for obvious reasons...
lepichichi 10-20-2008, 04:49 PM who crashed?? was it a 350??
chrism 10-20-2008, 06:04 PM it was a g35 and from what i read he turned the traction control off in a turn, started to lose it, let off the gas and snap oversteer sent him into the wall
nycgps 10-20-2008, 06:42 PM ROFL !
First run and he turned his traction control off ?!
Thats what he deserves then :D
alz0rz 10-20-2008, 06:52 PM Nice pics...just word of advice...try to PS your licence plate out please...for obvious reasons...
what are the obvious reasons?
seriously.. hundreds if not thousands of people can see your license plate daily... what is the difference if its in a picture..?
my license plate is eff7770.. please do something with it.
nycgps 10-20-2008, 07:30 PM i think he said it for warranty reasons.
cuz its known in the subaru and mitsubishi community that, if the plate number is displayed on any of the track event/race pictures, they will run some check to see if its still in warranty, if it is, they will void it.
nycgps 10-20-2008, 07:31 PM oh by the way, for those who have their own helmet, any idea where to get a good full helmet at a good price? any special requirements or rating that I should be aware of ?
thx :)
kersh4w 10-20-2008, 07:55 PM look for snell 2005 or newer. i found my helmet on ebay for $40. $8 shipping. i think it was stolen. its a nice helmet.
about warranties, my bumper to bumper is up in 2 months i think. i dont really care. i came into my dealership with my entire interior stripped out and VHT (sticky stuff put down for drag racing) all over my rear bumper. my service tech wasnt entirely happy with me, but i mean.. whatever. im not coming in for transmissions or engines or whatever. im coming in for an oil change. she asked me grimly, "do any zoom-zoomin?" i was acted surprised, "what? no.. of course not."
haha. honestly, that vht? i have a friend who is a real prankster. and i took out my interior so i could vacuum it better.
my engine will be turbo'd before 100k and if it goes, i think im putting an LSx in there. bring on the haterade.
gundarx 10-20-2008, 07:59 PM Woohoo a bunch of us are in a vid!

nycgps 10-20-2008, 08:48 PM wish someone has a video of how he crashed.
he asked for the crash tho, traction control off ... not like he is a professional or anything.
gundarx 10-20-2008, 09:10 PM I was thinking about taking TCS/DSC off in the later runs.. kersh had it off :)
Back in June, I had it off and the 8 wasn't scary at all (it's different now b/c of the cold)

kersh4w 10-20-2008, 09:21 PM i had my dsc/tc off the entire time.
i can feel it interferring with the driving. of course, the time i talked a lot of shit to chrism about him keeping his on, is the time i spun out. got to love karma!
(chris, i did the same thing. haha cant stop screenshots!)
gundarx 10-20-2008, 09:39 PM Ha ha ha I know how to get the real ones!
Javascript can't stop a web developer :)
kersh4w 10-20-2008, 09:42 PM i looked through the source of the page, but i dont know javascript that well. but considering that photoshop can save screenshots in a lossless format i got them just as well as you. :P
check out that pic of the smoking toyota ae86. looool. that was definitely one i saved.
i also noticed this one guy hanging back... i think he was driving a chick car.. i wonder why he lagging so far behind?

Anyway, hmm any more free events ? :)
gundarx 10-20-2008, 10:22 PM Guys, check your PM :)
kersh4w 10-20-2008, 10:31 PM nice. it seems i missed a few good pics the first go around too. i found a really nice pic of my car going around a turn.
i love that last pic of jaime. you can see the angle of his graduation tassle.
gundarx 10-20-2008, 11:09 PM BTW, phaed, I see your EZPass mounted!! Weren't you listening to the announcements about taking down the ballistic EZPasses??!?!
nycgps 10-20-2008, 11:12 PM I had my Ezpass on too.
I didnt take it off because its so tight that I need 2 hands to take it off sometimes. so I guess that should be tight enough, right ? :lol:
I did put everything else into the trunk tho (water bottles, floor mats, etc)
kersh4w 10-21-2008, 12:21 AM heh, i forgot it up there.
its phaedon though. you cant really shorten my name like kersh4w -> kersh.
chrism 10-21-2008, 05:55 AM only reason i hung back in those pics was so all the dirt you picked up from spinning wouldnt hit my freshly zaino'd car!

nycgps 10-21-2008, 09:26 AM yea, thats him.
L337fpc 10-21-2008, 10:54 AM man there were really no action shots of my wb. damn photographer...he only got 2 of my 5 runs.
alfy28 10-21-2008, 11:38 AM yea, thats him. looks really good. i tihnk he should keep that way. looks clean;)
dillsrotary 10-21-2008, 12:03 PM Hey chris, if you didn't have the hard top convertible would you need a track roll bar in order to run? I didn't see any on the S2000's there but I remember hearing something along those lines
gundarx 10-21-2008, 12:55 PM heh, i forgot it up there.
its phaedon though. you cant really shorten my name like kersh4w -> kersh.
lol.. i intentionally did not post your whole name..
btw, for a pretty serious track guy, why stock springs/shocks??

kersh4w 10-22-2008, 12:02 AM lol.. i intentionally did not post your whole name..
btw, for a pretty serious track guy, why stock springs/shocks??
the stock suspension on the rx8 is pretty damn decent. what the car lacks is power. so any money i put in my car usually is orientated to making the car faster in a straight line. it already handles so well.

NOOOO!!!
it cut the lap before i spun! i would have really liked to see that from outside the car.

Hey chris, if you didn't have the hard top convertible would you need a track roll bar in order to run? I didn't see any on the S2000's there but I remember hearing something along those lines
yeah you need scca roll bars to be able to drive and i believe the s2ks have them stock while mine arent high enough....
looks really good. i tihnk he should keep that way. looks clean;)
this time around its all performance then fluff :)

chrism 10-23-2008, 05:55 AM nothing could be more important than a track day
L337fpc 10-23-2008, 07:21 AM nothing could be more important than a track day
I concur.

You can't even my WB behind him, probably because i was within 5ft-7ft of his bumper for most of that straight away along the wall.
