NASA road Atlanta in March---who's going?
OK just signed up for this---only a couple of months away.
And like the song says "lets get it started". My s.c. track cherry debut! oscd |
I can't wait to see your FI on track.
|
I have a BAD feeling I will be chasing that thing around the track :). I guess I need to get a DART block shipped sooner.

I guess Celine is bored and wants to play in March. And I don't wanna miss the debut of OSCD on track. I am in as a DE2. |
Woo Hoo and Stf if you are chasing me you will be doing a 2+minute lap! i plan on (at least Saturday) to take it real easy until I know this car better. Road Atlanta is not that forgiving of a track to most of us.
I do anticipate 140mph on the back straight---if i will let it get that fast:Eyecrazy: For me I think turns one 2-3 and 5 are going to be the ones to be really careful on. I FEEL THE NANNY! oscd |
I am going to sign up end of next week, for both CMP, and Road Atlanta.
TA, you going to do the Mustang club a CMP in May30th? It is the show that James Ray runs, TONS of track time, and it is the new config of CMP. |

Last year I couldnt do it due to work. We'll see about this year. I was never a huge CMP fan so if I can make the Feb NASA event, I will know how eager I will be to return there. There are so many RA and Barber events that are more friendly to the task of just getting to the track that I could just stay semi local and get 12 events in...
I will be curious to know how the new configuration is, according to someone who has run it already, it is about 3-7 sec faster. However, he was never 'on-fire' during any of his events, so I take it with a grain of salt. |
STF, it's great to here you talking participatory track talk again. Welcome back!
|
It has been along time, not really, but too long in my book. I have a bunch of work to do this week, but once done, I am totally caught up for the next month or so, so I can focus on getting the motor done, I mean both the 347 and the 302 (replace gaskets).

I'm sure I'll be there again. I love RA and it can't be as hot in March!
So I'm thinking of going with a set of Nitto NT-01 for this year as the RT-615's are about done. |
OnRails,
I am going to tow the Mustang down, so if you need someone to haul tires, drop me a line. |
OnRails, let me know if you are interested in a set of Enkei RPO3's with Toyo RA1's. I have a set I will make a deal with you on. The set was purchased new and the tires were shaved.

Count me in. I wanna be there when OD takes his training wheels off!
|
I am there, and I won't have a 302 V8, it will be slightly more cubbi.. I figured since the time cover needed a new gasket, I mine as well, stroke it, order a new block, new ported heads, solid lifters, a new cam, and um, a good tune :). It's no Evo, but it will be over 300whp :).
:) |
i will be there...taking pictures.
|
so what happens to those of us who have never raced, or red lined the RX8?
|
then you would go for the HPDE section of the event, no racing, just driving school at high speed, or as high as you get comfy with. very limited passing, and classroom time to go with it. if you have questions, feel free to post up, we can try to answer.
|
We will be south for spring break that week camping (I know, I know......surprise!!). Y'all have fun and take lots of pictures......
I may be there a couple times this year with the Peachtree BMW folks. Doing more locals (except for RR) this year....... |
TJD a word of warning---once you start--you will NOT be able to stop!
STD---dont forget, on that engine, to get the right springs on that valve train(solid lifter cam?). You already have unequal lenght maybe even a "stagger" type header?:)---I KNOW you have an x pipe already.:) Over 300 horses--who are you kidding:lol: -- maybe just a "little " more than that! i think you may miss that 4 wheel drive a little. What do you think you will end up weighing ? this is going to be good. |
TJD,
Yup, stick around, ask questions, and if you can make it sign up for HPDE1. They will learn you around. And you will have a paddock full of folks (hopefully) to walk you thru everything. Not many auto-x guys in Ga, but if you want road course, you found the right place. :) OH, Snap! I have to go check the car. Track on Monday! :lol: |
