Not yet. I need some. Will get by May 20. Incidently, I am now signed up for CMP in July.

 

Woohoo!!! One Month Away!!!

 

And the countdown commences. Time to plan your oil changes, brake pad swap/inspections, suspension bolt check, etc.

 

30 days away.......not that I'm counting......

 

i have been slowly reading the article in the new GRM, where they tested a bunch of cars at Roebling, makes me want to get down there even more. been a while now, need some more track time.

 

getting closer to having my gauges in. I'm really interested in seeing the readings at Roebling. I think the weather is going to be HOT.
I think the gauges are going to turn out good. Taking a lot of thinking /planning/searching. but after I get it done I could probably do the second one in 3/4 hrs.
I was surprised that the Lotus turned a 88sec lap. Isnt that what some of us where running the last time out? Didn't STF say he turned a 1:28 in Lego's car?

I thought I read the Exige turned a 93 second lap as a best time with a pro driving. I was turning consistent 1:31s (91 second laps). I beleive I did turn some 1:29s as well while trying to catch up to the Z06. Interestingly I was reading on Corner-carvers an account of an open track day at Roebling a few weeks ago where a Honda Odessey driven in the One Lap of America race was turning low 1:30s. A mini van!!! That must have been some serious ***** out driving. I would love to see that Odyssey go through turn 3.

 

i would love to see my 8 going through turn 3, and I don't even remember waht turn three looks like. Gonna have to start watchign vids again.

 

OD, can't wait to see your temp results. Its getting closer and I am still wearing out TA's video page. Lego, whats up with the hotel deal? Everyone staying at the same place?

 

We have a Honda Odessy. Those things will haul A**. Drive tighter than you may think. That V-tec engine really puts out.
Gauges should be done by this w/e. i think my install is looking good. I recessed the gauges down into the center pod. Mechanical ones of course-much more accuate, I wonder if I can connect the gauge lights to the dimmer switch we have.?
I also have ordered the Agency Power pulley and will have that on by Roebling. --Cant I ever leave this car alone!

29 days!

 

28........

 

So I guess today is 27 days till...

 

WOOHOO!!!

the roomie list.....

Phlash, L8, and Silver
TA and Francois
STF and Steve (is he coming)?
OD and Mrs OD
WhiteRex and Lego

 

 

Just got my confirmation from Julie. I wonder if I can get one more track weekend out of my old tires or should I put the 710's on?

 

Oh yeah, the only thing the RX-7 is waiting for are springs and coilover perches. It will then take over track duties. It will be brought to the fall Roebling.....

I also feel like I have a new car. I've been driving the RX-7 a lot lately since it's been running, and the other day, I drove the RX-8 for the first time in two weeks. The 8 felt like I had just sat in a brand new car. It brought back the same smile I had when I first drove it over 2 years ago. I was thinking, damn this is smooth, damn this is quick, damn this is a hell of a car!

 

Gauges are in and functional. Now waiting on my pully to arrive.
Charlie it wasnt as bad to install them as I thought.
Still have to hook up the lights.

There is a beauty in squeezing one more event out of a set of tires but I did notice a huge drop in performance in my RA1s at TGPR with the 300ZX club.

 

I just got a reminder from Julie to get my slow *** registered. I will have to take care of that tonight, been too damn busy, and need to get on the ball, or on the track more likely.

 

26........

Countdown to Roebling

 

There is something wrong with your countdown. It feels like it's moving too slowly!
