It seemed ok as long as you were lucky enough to run before 1ish. After that the weather shifted and it would not have been a fun drive. It sure seemed to be a red flag happy day though. Since the radio coverage sucked so bad I didn't listen much but when I did they were stopped for one reason or another.

 

 

Hydro, whens your next event?

 

This sunday, but I don't think I am going to make it. Were you planning on joining?

 

Only as a spectator so dont push on my account. Would you also be going next weekend too/instead?

 

im from fort collins and i have add mine for about 4 months now

 

Welcome. SI or SII?

 

Next one I will probably make is the end of September.

But next year I am going to look at getting started in the time trials. Much better value as far as seat time/cost, plus it is more along the lines of what I want to do as far as "racing."

I'll have to get the info from Mark to see what I need to do to get started.

 

i dont really know im new to mazda cars but its a 2006 keyless entry with red and black leather interior and 6 disk bose system

 

That would be a Series I (S1) GT.

btw...welcome to the club

 

thanks and is there any events that ever go on around fort collins or anyone that i could talk to in person when i start to build mine up?

 

Nothing currently on the books anywhere in Colorado as far as I know.

 

Have any of you guys ever taken your car to Bandimere or any other drag track out there(if another exists)? I was just curious what times you ran since you are in such a high altitude out there.

 

xexok - I haven't gone to any of the drag strips here or otherwise with my 8. However, I did move from sea level and haven't noticed any difference in acceleration or power once I reset the fuel trims.

Any locals interested in OEM wheels w/o tires w/ TPMS? I had two sets for a while but now I need the space.

 

Too bad you didn't let us know this two weeks ago. My brother was in town from Reno and needed a set for his car. If price, shipped, is good he still may be interested, but shipping is a bear.

 

I'll let you have'm for $400 and yall figure out the delivery method. No scratches or chips that I can remember but I can get you photos later in the week.

 

I do also have a set of oem wheels off my gf's old Kia Forte w/ Blizzak's on them if anyone is interested and has a compatible car. Wheels are 17" with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a +50 offset. Tires should be 215/45R/17 and have seen 2 winters.

 

When I was last in Colorado I noticed a loss of power but I also did not reset my fuel trims. I was told they would adjust on their own but I was only out there a week so maybe it was not enough time.

Hopefully someone has taken their 8 to the drag track, I know its a rare thing to do.

 

If I wasn't in the process of replacing a big picture window in my house, I would come get them.

BC.

 

I'll let him know and he can get in touch if it is right for him-thanks

 

Ya I have last year. I went to Pueblo Motorsports Park since it was the closest one to me. My best time out of about 5 runs was 16 seconds flat. It was also my first time so I could probably get a little faster. I was kinda hoping for more like 15.5 but whatever lol. Car was bone stock at the time with some summer tires on. It is a 2005 with 60,000 miles at the time I dragged. Pueblo is at about 4,900 feet

 

Colorado Springs here.

 

How...Dee!

 

Just to put it out there! Mazda guys meet at the Sonic by chapel hills mall every Friday at 630 then usually cruise down to Sam's club. (colorado springs)

 

So looks like I will be out of Colorado for the next 6 months. Job is moving me to Topeka temporarily to help get some operations up and running out there.

Pretty sure I am leaving the 8 here, parked for the winter. Sad and happy at the same time; don't have to worry about the 8 in the winter, but don't get to drive it the rest of this fall/early next spring.
