Would you be interested in letting 2 of the 235's go and 2 of the 275's go? I got 8's i front and 9.5's in the rear that needs tires badly.

 

I have a nice staggered set of 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 Kumho Ecsta MXs I would like to sell. Roughly 5,000 miles and a few track days on them, showing between 5/32" and 6/32" tread depth remaining, $200

Sorry, no need for used R6s. We have been winning contingency tires left and right and need to move out the tires we've replaced.

 

A friend of mine might be interested in your 225s though. I will get in touch with him and see if we can move some rubber around.

have any that are a hair wider? like 275?

 

I have a pair of Nitto drag radials in 275/40/17.

These are the 300 treadwear summer tires, not the Nitto 555RII D.O.T. competition tires.

 

Almost new, 9/32" tread depth, $200 obo.

Good seeing you Matt, been fun for me except for missing my last session because of the rear brakes.

 

Rear brakes? That's odd.

Great weekend so far. I was clicking off lap times in my street car only a tick away from what I was running in the PTE/TTE Civic last time at Mid Ohio.

 

At this point cars that I have built or revamped have taken 10 of 12 first place finishes so far this year in PTE.

 

The group B race was one of the most exiting so far this year, tomorrow should bring the same excitement. If your free stop out and have a look for yourself, only an hour away and free admission.

Although expensive one of these will save a lot of room.

Incorporates the slave cylinder and throw out bearing together, no clutch fork or external slave to take up valuable exhaust real estate.

Well, the first half of the day was dry, then came the rain after lunch. Missed out on my 1:19, best was a 1:20.18:(

 

Heading back on the 28th.

Weather permitting a few of us will be heading to Nelson Ledges this Saturday. $120 will get you plenty of track time. Just stay out of my way, I'm in search of a 1:19

Is this the winning team from two years ago, "Bernie's Revenge"? Car sounds familiar.

Longacre Tire Pyrometer $50 obo

No memory or Max/Min Functions Simple ON/OFF and current probe temp display.

 

Longacre Caster/Camber Gauge with magnetic Adapter 78260 $75 obo

 

Both are like new and come in a plastic blow mold case with foam padding.

 

I'll take the pyrometer off your hands. Do you head south of Marysville often?

Good to hear. Baruth going to be there?? Havn't seen him since last year.

 

Yes he will be.

I'll be there all weekend, not sure if I'll be driving a PTE Civic or the V6 RX7 yet.

I will be heading back sometime in the next month. Next time I'll post up a week in advance.

Still have these.

You guys missed a great day. Only about 20 cars showed up so there was plenty open track, that and the weather made for a perfect day.

 

BTW, one of the 20 cars that showed up was a new Nissan GTR, very impressive.

Late notice but I'll be heading that way in the morning. A lot of people here talk about trying it out, now is your chance. I will be happy to show any newbies around the track.

 

***Disclaimer*** This shit is addictive, be prepared to give up all other aspects of motorsports in order to pursue lower lap times.

Bought mine a few months ago, Volvo 740 turbo wagon. Ever since this add campaign I've wanted one.

Then the dump truck driver delivering a load of gravel for the driveway glanced at it and wished me a happy fathers day:(

I am considering one for the race car. What's the typical cost?

not sure yet depends on my financial situation. but i will try.

 

I'll be at Nelson Ledges Friday also if you get the itch for some cheap tracktime.

So I could show up to an open track day with my nissan and just the standard SCCA license? Do you have to have the physicals taken care of etc? I'd really like to do this.

 

I have...

A car

A helmet

A firesock

A SCCA first gear license (still only 25)

A pair of racing shoes

Balls as big as a watermellon

 

So could I show up on an open track day and TTE?

 

If you join NASA for $40-$45 you can run with us at Mid Ohio in August. I'm not sure if your SCCA first gear license will allow you to run in Time Trials but you don't need any license to run HPDE. If you are able to or end up running Time Trials you will most likely be in TTA with your Datsun.

Keep the steelies!

for the people that are new to road courses what is tte?

 

an what does the enduro conssit of? i assume a longer race obviousily ?

 

 

TTE = Time Trials Class E. Essentially Time Trials is the step between open lapping or HPDE and wheel to wheel racing. You get 5 15min. sessions to try and post the best lap time. There is open passing but since you are not trying to finish first, only get some good laps in, there are not any aggressive maneuvers or passes. I have not yet gone for my comp. license so that is where I play.

 

The enduro on Friday was a 90 minute race with one required 5 gallon fuel stop. NASA's typical Sat. and Sun. races are 40 minutes with no pit stops.

so guys how did it go?

 

The results have yet to be posted but I think I ended up with a 5th place finish in TTE with a best lap of 1.47.1 Mid Ohio is not my best track:(

 

The rest of Pakistan Express did very well. !st and 2nd place in the enduro and a win on Sunday.

 

Rob, good to see you there, wish I had more time to chat. Are you going to make the August event?
