Jumper cables. Pretty standard. I always have them around.
Most times you don't even have to connect the other end to a battery.

 

Ok, so I will have to shave the great dane, and I am sure someone there will have a blue tarp, but the question is, where can we get a 10lb bucket of KY Jelly?

. Maybe the guy in the F350 who hit my track car has some..... (now I can joke about it).

 

Don't have the bucket of KY, but I'll bring two jugs of Crisco. Should work about the same and in the afternoon sun, he'll attract a lot of the indigenous wildlife from the area.

 

You know I remember my first time at the track and I thought you guys were just kidding around. Then I got to the track on Saturday morning and everyone started pulling out their tarps...

So you guys that run the Hawk pads... Wonder if TT qualifies for the Hawk Contingency:

Is there any confirmation that Roar Racing(IIRC) will be here? If so, this will be a VERY interesting weekend............

 

I think they have been to every event I have been at over the last year.
Didn't recognize their names on the initial list that just came out.
This first list is probably not very accurate. NASA started posting it early as people were curious about who was showing up, but it tends to get amended a fair bit.

It's cool to see all of those RX-8's on the list. I'm going to have to put some faces to all of these new names. Who is driving the 2008 ?

 

They have me down for DE-2 which is fine with me for this first round back on track this season. I'll ride with you guys in DE-3 next time.

 

well damn---is it posted already?
We dont have long!!

Where are we going to paddock?

 

Last time we were right in front of tech. Not sure if that is an option this time around but I liked that spot. Maybe we can extend into the area in front of pregrid as well since we have some TT folks.

 

Can we get a non-petroleum based supply of lube? I brake out from that stuff.

 

You "brake" out? Is that DOT 3 or DOT 4?

 

You "brake" out? Is that DOT 3 or DOT 4? (uh sorry)

 

Don, KY is water-based.

 

lol! I'm such a dumb ***!

Just don't get any of that **** on my steering wheel when it starts flying all over the place.

 

KY....dumb ***.....no pun intended?

 

note to all.

charles got you covered. twice. will call later this afternoon.. might be win win, WIN.

to the others. i have been fighting tires for the track.. i have a set of track wheels, they were my old ones. have an angle on a set of 17" wheels. but dont have them yet so i cant buy tires for either..

so, if i get under the car and i think my spts are ok for the track, i am in.

i really dont want to run them, but for the first days i think wtf, it will be fun..

now the big ? anyone got a coupon code for nasa? free money is good..

as to the first day breaking in the new guy, ky meh, i would expect nothing less than sand.

beers

 

swoope, have you already registered? I didn't see your name on the driver list.

 

last I talked to Rob, they were undecided, since they have a race at Lime Rock the next week.

Swoope, street tires are good for your first track time, they talk to you and give a little more feedback, and it is better to learn on street tires before you progress to R comps, they add another whole element to it, that I would not want as a noob.

I say we try to get our usual paddock spot, but rope off that whole area and not share this time. It is big enough for our whole group if we can manage to snag the whole thing.

Now, I need to go buy new front pads, CMP killed off what was left of mine.

ONLY 2 MORE WEEKS!!

 

Got new brake hardware in yesterday. Look forward to replacing the pins as my rubber sleeves are shot and are sticking.

 

nope,

have to get under the car and take a close look at tires.. if all is well will register later today..

did i mention coupon code for nasa?


beers

 

oh,

gosh no. no intent to buy r compounds. but was going to get something that was closer than my street tires.. as i do / will have two sets of wheels.

beers

 

are there still DE1 spots open?

 

smart man. your SPT's should be fine, the new surface at RR is not very abrasive at all, nothing like it used to be. You will see minimal wear on your street tires.
