Dr. Apex

I just glanced through the entry list, there is some serious talent in town this weekend!! Should be fun to watch some of these national level drivers going at it and see the best of the best out there!!

Don't buy Spec, I hear too many of these stories about them.

Huh? You mean you'd rather do what I did and drive it through brush and scratch it up?

I got trail happy today and wanted to take the Pathy offroad since I've never done it before. I found a small 4 wheeler trail in Pickerington thay goes through a creek. Nothing difficult as even my noob ass and stock Pathy could handle but it was fun finally forging through the creek almost getting stuck in some soft sand and climbing over some small obstacles. I did manage to scratch the shit out of the passenger side of the Pathy on a tree limb but oh well. I now get the appeal it has and want to do it some more. Where are the easy trails that a noob like me can go? I'd love to follow someone up some trails sometime.

Most of them offer something decent. I know you can get a Charger with the Hemi and you can turn the traction control off in those. Just look on their webistes to see what they have.

Just so everyone knows: When you register you pay for both days wether you race both or not and are required to buy a set of $3 GASS stickers for your car on site to support the GASS series. This is considered a divisional event and will be run on a tight format of likely 4 runs saturday and only 3 runs sunday. The nice thing is there is going to be some good talent coming in from out of state and you can get a good idea of where you stand to cars/drivers that compete probably on a more national level. I am joining Team Honda STS for this event!!

For sale is my Clarion car cd player "DXZ765MP". It's a CD/MP3 player and plays virtually every format of cd. Here's the site for it: http://www.clarion.com/us/en/products/2006/audio/source_units/cd/DXZ765MP/us-en-product-pf_1134643389116.html It's one of the best Clarion head units but with the Pathfinder for sale I don't need it. It was $500 new, I want $200 for it. PM if interested.

For sale is my Sony Camcorder DCR-HC26 miniDV. I hardly ever use it anymore. It's in perfect shape. It has a great amount of zoom, image stabilization, touch screen and lots of other features. Here's a link to a review of it: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/sony-handycam-dcr-hc26/4505-6500_7-31649781.html It talks about poor video quality but if you've seen any videos I've posted they look fine, and it works damn good at night on nightvision. I have with it a Sony carry case, firewire for fast uploads, and tripod included with it. I paid $350 for the camcorder alone.......$250 for everything. $20 more for the suction cup mount or I can sell that seperately. Also I have a set of Sony Studio headphones for sale. Here's a link to what they are: http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/sony-mdr-v600/4505-7877_7-6900054.html I had paid $99 when they first came out. I have only used them a little and they are in perfect shape, they are over-ear headphones and very comfy and sound amazing. They come in the leather bag w/adapter. $50 PM me if interested in either of these.

Good luck, can't go wrong with red.

This is one of the few old racing moves I still havn't seen yet and I need to get it as I own most of them.

Rusty, you have a good car for it, I was impressed with it(of course anything is better than my old clunker).

^Heheh!! Not much we could do about it, it was coming up from underneath the asphalt, just like at the finish. The GASS event is a 2 day thing, you MUST register for both days, however you don't have to attend both, you just pay for both regardless. Also, sunday will be 3 runs only.

22 in the Pathy as long as I'm nice, 24 in the Laser.

Mike, you really sounded like you could of shifted to 2nd as I watched from turn 3. It might be easier to just shift to 2nd except that 1 tight hairpin. Otherwise you looked pretty smooth. Gray, how was the Prelude??

Just got home. Not a bad day, rain stayed away finally!! Anyone else find todays course pretty tough?? I couldn't do what I wanted with my car and pretty much sucked.

The way I do it is this: I try to teach everyone I can the wrong thing to do so as time goes on I look that much better out there!!! :nod: Weather report now calls for off and on sprinkles, cold, and windy for sunday!!

^ :finger:

Ok guys, 131 people registered for sunday so be on time!!! They will not make any exceptions for people showing up late as there will likely be 160+ drivers total. If you plan to show up and register be there by 7am and no later, I'd hate to see people show up that early and not make it in as they only allow 30 on-site registrations. Gray, you better be on time!! If your new, make sure you pay attention to the announcements of when they call for novice meeting and what they discuss, they will want everything to run as smoothly as possible so we can get the max amount of runs in. Weather report calls for some "possible" mid-afternoon sprinkles, no reason not to run slicks(if you run them) or anything but bring an umbrella just in case, it is Ohio!!

Antwon, as long as the cars is safe, battery is tied down, loose stuff removed, your good to go. If you bring your own helmet make sure it's "DOT" and "Snell M95" or newer, if not they have loaners.

Word is Andrew might be filming this weekend, I film from time to time but just my in-car.

Right now Ch.4 shows only cloudy and cool on sunday with no rain.....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

$1/gallon I think, maybe a touch under. I never gave any though to fuel economy or how I drive. Now I don't drive unless I need to, organize errands to be efficient and quick, and drive very passively. I guess paying 400% more for gas and being a little smarter about my money than I used to be makes quite a bit of difference(that and I don't make enough damn money to afford driving around like most assholes).

^Wait.....an rx7 with engine probelms?? NEVAR!!!! :grin2:

This has been shitty weather, we've had 3 autocrosses in the rain already this year and this sunday looks like #4. Normally we have only 1 event where it's wet. The jet stream needs to move up where the fuck it belongs.

You save something like $17, deal goes until May 31 so stock up.
