haha, separate showers for the boys n girls! :p

the boys were so scared of the girls bathrooms they were all standing around wondering if i had fallen and couldn't get up! tho no one got up the guts to go in and find out (thank God for the dead bolt on the women's shower room)

 

Other than warm cloths, extra pads, break fluid, oil and a helmet. Is there anything else I need to bring?

 

money is nice.

maybe a change of underwears

 

lol, if you had fallen we would have had to find someone with a key!

 

a hunger for the smell of exhaust fumes???

 

plastic garbage bags for the stuff in your car. jst in case its not as nice as we are hoping.

 

they call that colonge!

 

So what time you guys and gals getting to the hotel tomorrow night? I probably won't get there till 8pm.

 

why so late?

 

I don't get home till 5pm and my wife doesn't home till 6:30pm

 

hey, are we all going up to the hotel on friday or saturday?

i won't get into milwaukee til after 9pm tonight anyway...

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i read that wrong. We will prob be at the hotel saturday....i got my days mixed up

 

saturday

 

Are you meeting up with me and Red to drive up there or are you going up there on your own?


Charles can you drop me some directions to your place off the highway or an addy so i can get them in a PM or something?

 

i can hook up with you two somewhere along the way if youd like. i know how to get there

hey blue, is the best place to meet up the lake forest oasis?

 

I'm meeting RedDevil around 8-830 at or around his apt. You might want to send him an email and discuss that with him and get all the times and such set up.

 

There no way I will get up at 4:30am to be ther by 7am. To much of a drive and way to early. last thing anyone needs is me falling asleep at the wheel on the track

 

I posted this on another thread but I wanted to get your guys take on it as well.

I have been doing some thread searches on the best winter tires for the 8. So far I see good reviews on the Bridgestone Blizzak tires LM-22(17's), WS-50(17's) and LM-25(18's). Do all you agree? Also I heard that 215 are better than 225. What are your thoughts? The price's I was quated are was as follows: LM-25 $1,320, LM-22 $1,130, WS-50(225) $1,030, WS-50(215) $930.

 

this is what i came up with searching tire rack for winter tires in the size for the 8's

i dont know if those quotes you got were wheels and tires or what you were planning on doing exactly but just for comparisons sake.... http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...ZR&subperf=PPW

 

i have the dunlop m3s and love them.

 

i personally use kuhmo all seasons in an upsized sizewall not dedicated snow tires. However here we will get a day or 2 of snow and then it will just be cold and crappy for a week after that before it snows again. And i would absolutely kill snow tires driving on dry pavement that much between snows. But obviously summer tires wont get the job done in the sub-freezing temps or the 2 days of snow we get either.

 

If you live and work in Madison, I'm sure they clear the snow good and promply. You may get by with all season tires. I live just off a major state highway here so that is what I use (Pirelli PZero Nero M&S). I also bought wider/lower profile tires than stock. This was a mistake. Stay as close to stock as possible, so you can cut through the snow/slush better.

 

reminds me of why an old beatle was good on the snow....all the weight on the drive axle and bicycle tires.

 

Yea it was for the tires and wheels. I guess I'll go with what the dealership has since they won't charge me shiiping or instalation. I think they said they carry the LM-22
