  1. The first screen show Leak leading it, but the second link shows Smith....?? After ths past saturday's fiasco I think Leak is out of it.
  2. If you can learn to feather the throttle you'd be ok Hal. There aren't really any straights and if there are they are short. The s/c Cobra's were brought down to the same class as all the other pony cars last year as the irs didn't seem to be any advantage. Hal, you have a drag car that you could still autox and have fun but it wouldn't be the easiest to control the car is all!! :burn: Joe, I think he recovered.
  3. I have RCI in my car and they are fine. If your buying new ones they will be legal for a few years, do double check they are SFI rated though. I find due to the way you sit in the car the pull-down straps work better for the shoulder and the pull-ups better for the lap belts and sub-strap as you can pull everything towards yourself. Plus in a bucket the seat can get in the way of a pull-down lap belt. My .02 on those. As for mounting, they sell hardware to bolt them in, just make sure you use reinforced places to bolt them to, like your stock seatbelt locations. A cage is best of course and don't buy the harnesses longer than you need to as the longer they are the more they can strech. Def. get the Camlocks, much easier to use!!
  4. I watched a Town Car burn last year on 161 by the bowling palace. There was the recent cruise control fire recall, and my moms ranger burnt to the ground a while back, interestingly all the vehicles mentioned were from the same manufacturer!!

    It's a Serta mattress. It says on the label "Sertapedic" on it, I guess it means it's there version of the "posturepedic". It doesn't have anything else on the label.
  6. My car is like that, under 50 degrees and it won't get to full temp. Mine's just due to the a/c condensor no longer blocking the radiator anymore. I doubt you have a stock cooling system anymore do you Andy? BTW, I have your trophy still and will bring it with me saturday Andy.

    Wtf to do?!

    The car running good Joe?? Next weekend is the autox at trails!! I thoight about calling you and see what was going on but it was just too damn chilly for me.
  8. http://richard.safier.com/OVR/oct82006w/index.html Here are the pics from last weekend. There are some great shots in there. There are some good pics of Andy(White79bu), Jacob(Stanello), and Matt(Buckeye Bullitt) as well. I personally like the 911 in the corners and the BMW lifting it's front wheel out of a corner and a vette caught sideways in another corner.

    My roommate is selling this bed set. It's just a steel frame, box spring and mattress. It's a full size Sertapedic mattress and box spring. $50 firm. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/ZeroBar78/bed.jpg
  10. This will be the next to last event this year and will be on Saturday Oct.21. This will be the first time we've ever run there and we will have the entire facility to ourselves. I'm told we will have a huge area and this will be the largest course we may of ever run on. If you don't pre-register at http://www.dlbracing.com you need to be there by 7:30am to make sure you get to race.
  11. No I don't, sorry. It was a hectic day and I don't even remember what I was doing during your heat. We'll try to get some in-car from you probably at the last event in November.
  12. Yeah yeah, In my hurried state I didn't realize the camera was zoomed in slightly, oh well.
  13. You also have a tough car to learn in but a fun car to boot. Autocross is an easy sport to learn but one of the most difficult to master. No prob on the trophy, I'll bring it with to the next event.
  14. Yeah Matt, you drive a high hp rwd car so throttle control is everything!! It will take a while to really get the hang of it. I got to drive my roommates S2000 and DAMN what a badass car! I was only 1 sec slower in his car on all season tires vs. my best time on slicks!! Gray, those old neons are tough little cars and they've been driving it for years and know how to really max it out. Next year the new tires will help a lot.
  15. Yeah, I was glad to not be working 1st heat though I don't like running in it either. Jacob, from what I can tell your pretty smooth out there but like you said you need better tires and some suspension.
  16. Here's an in car video from my car today. It was a fun and simple course though quite bumpy. I didn't realize my camera was zoomed in slightly so the angle isn't the best but it works. Enjoy. http://media.putfile.com/Autox-Oct8-Lap-4

    OSU vs BGSU

    Sux you missed it. Not exactly an exciting game, we rolled over them pretty much without trying.
  18. Excellent movie!! It's a must see! It's called "The Departed".
  19. Supposedly it was an odd electrical interference, as soon as they moved the finish line a few feet the timer worked great....too damn wierd.
