Science Abuse

Why are you still working there? Something else to consider, something I took into account before I burnt the gas to show up friday night. When it is said "come to race", it means don't come if you're not willing or able to race. This is the IPS spot, the hang out and BS spot is still Mr Geero's. If there's a want to just hang out and BS, we aught to hit Geeros first, 9pm or so, and just hang out there. If you intend to pit your vehicle against others, then head to IPS at about 11. If not, stay, or get a ride with some one who is able and is going. Not that anyone at IPS is racing, I'm speaking purely hypotheticaly. We all know they just let people in to play GT4, thats the "Racing". Make sure you've got something good on your memory card.

I don't think we've met? A thought; Those abulances need to get out, so you can't go blocking all the entrances. You also cant make them use the same one as us, since there may be a traffic jam. Perhaps you should block that end off like this: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5954/ipsad9.jpg Have the cops remove anyone that parks south of the ambulance entrance. It'll give them a free flowing exit without traffic or pedestrians.

ONLY BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE! I weep for every race that goes by without the Cougar in it. I loobied pretty hard for them to accept the MN12/FN10 platform, and they finally did. Now I've got a kid and cant afford to take advantage of that. If you wan't to dominate, you wan't an MN12....you can buy mine!...or Sponsor it! Or just buy it and have me drive! I missed this event. I would have liked to have taken the boy up and watch, but the faits didn't smile on us. Any idea what lap times the AI cars were pulling?

It's not doing you any good on the ground, Joe.

My statement was based more on the ascertion that 100% of the people causing the problems were driving shitboxes. I dont have the financial backing to make a fast car either...but I still have one. There's al kinds of way to be fast if you just dont give a shit about asthetics. Making 4 wheels go fast is not hard. Observation from my time in the street racing "scene": -The people that talk the most shit dont have fast cars -The people that cause the most trouble often dont have cars -The more people at a gathering, the greater the number of assholes. its simple statistics. Curbe the number of people and you'll have a good event. When engaging in certain activites, you certainly cannot argue that it's bad to have more people then is neccesary. If you want to show up and BS, make freinds with some one with a fast car and ride out with them. ro just make freinds with some one here and get in on the invite. IPs was a place to meet up and race, untill the slow masses found out. Now you have the demographic of insecure males with no technical aptitude (to build a car), no steady job (to buy a car), and no disciplin (to drive the car). It's a bunch of asshats out to show off. As evident by the; -Stereos -Fights -Drucg abuse -Parking lot racers Linns earlier comment, "Show up to race", should stand. If you're not there to do that, you dont need to be there. I remember back in the day when I had to hange out with a group for X amount of time before I was allowed to go out to "the spot". This was a good way to do things.

good stuff.

ZING!

+1....well, gimme an IPS codpeice, only 1 part of me is huge.

I also remember my car was almost mechanicaly stock, and your truck was sucking dangerous amounts of bottle. Did I harrass the fast cars?

My car piddles everywhere.

A means of policing this it pretty much all that's needed. A pack of guys in IPS shirts walking around telling people "You're out, take your shit and leave". and if it comes to that, they need to have the full backing of the masses. I saw one dickhead wondering around in fatigues waving a brass balled club. We dont want to send Jeff after a dick like that on his own. I'd realy like to start coming out more, and just as before I'm willing to help out however I can. I like the idea of a "fast cars only" lot. Keep the 1978 Dodge vands and toyota tercels off in the side lots. No pickups or any of that horseshit. Exclude these people from the group and they'll stay out of the way. But anyways, enforcement is key. Also: Don't be above asking the Po for help. It's no secret that people are showing up there. Call the township: "As you know, we like to have some people over at our shop on weekends. We're getting more people then we planned and it's getting to be a bit of a problem. We'd like to begin enforcing some litter/drinking/driving rules. If we need some help, we'd like to be able to call you guys to have some one removed without having to worry about the whole group getting kicked out." It may mean the movement of some activites to roads further away, but it depends on how much you like the spot.

Amen The booze needs to stop, immediately. I've had the bad luck to witness one alcohol related street racing accident, that's plenty. There's alot of risk involved in street racing, we dont need booz'hubris involved as well.

Offering free dyno pulls? I've only got the 13 sec half. How about a "beat the hell out of whoever drinks or smokes weed" rule?

I came to race, but nobody wants to play with me.

-250k miles and counting. Keep up on the regular maintainence and it'll will keep up on the performing. -Perks? A; it's dead sexy B; best handling car I've ever driven, bar none. C; easy on the gas D; Great interior, all the gizmo's you'd expect of a 2006 car, and a lap timer. E; People constantly asking me about it. Comes in a few flavors: 2.3 16v 2.5 16v 2.5 16v Evo I 2.5 16v Evo II The european models get more power, between 190 and 235 hp, all N/A. DTM motors make 450hp @ 12,000 rpm on the same hardware. They'z strong.

Most cats hate water. They're anal about cleanlieness. If they dont assosiate being wet with feeling icky, then they'll take to water just like anything else. Tigers love water.

And you could always buy my cougar! We might could work something out.

I beleive I'll be there. I'm still on my clutch break in, so I dunno about racing. My car's slow anyways, it's just loud to get chicks.

ROLLER RACER! This toy is forever etched in my memory because it horrificaly mutialted me! Serious, I almost lost a toe riding one of these down my driveway barefoot. The U bent steel goosneck thing was still sharp on the underside. So painful, but hte wors part was treating it, oh god how the cold betadine hurt!

holy hell, I'm not sure I could drive my car that far without dying of carbon monoxide poinsoning.

Didn't you never watch the A team?

Can you pick up? Thats our next hurdle, once we select a powder coater. These things are heavy, they're boxed up 100 pce/box. Since they're narrow and flat, this makes the box an almost solid hunk of steel, 'bout 50lb each. Our inventory is about 6600 of these 50lb boxes, thats 330,000 lb. I'll get a price then we'll see how we'll ship'm.

Thanks for all the replies. Given our customers usage, and how long we've been working on this, we may be needing them done pretty quickly. Right now I'm probing, who we go with is up to my new boss, who is kind of a dousche. He's not going to approve spending for "some guy". For alot of reasons, Corprate only wants to deal with proper buisness entities. :\
