Dr. Apex Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Were about ready for tomorrow. Their calling for sprinkles for part of the daytime tomorrow but saying no steadier rain until evening. You might want to bring your umbrellas just in case as we race in the rain, just not in the lightning. See everyone out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I think a little rain later in the day would be a blast. With my all seasons, I could take out some of the guys running slicks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Woot! I like rain, rain gives me a chance lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Heh, don't get too excited. If the pavement is only "wet" slicks will still get most of their grip. A steady flow of rain/water on the pavement and slicks are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief8one Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 i dont think im going to risk driving an hour to get rained on, slicks no likey water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief8one Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 i keep trying to talk myself into it but with the 130 mile round trip and 3.50 a gal gas really puts a damper on things. then the chance of getting rained on while taking my slicks off being soaking wet in my car on the way back.........fuck.........have fun fellow G stockers think ill just relax at home this sunday.

hot_wire Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Chief, today was a blast! Great course layout, with lots of slaloms. We had some intense rain at the end of our heat (GS) but I managed 3 dry runs. Afterward, we were allowed some "fun runs." My best time on the day was a 59.4something. Woooohoo!

Dr. Apex Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Gray, we had a 20min downpour and that's it, though it was during your heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I went from like 66 or 67 to 57.....I would say I did pretty well for a second event lol (of course, when i got 57, it was during the fun runs, and didn't count anymore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 F THAT DOWNPOUR! That is all... Heh, you were one of the many caught by that one. I assume you were working when it started?? My friend was at the other end of the lot working turn 3 when the rain hit and he had his windows down and roof open on his bmw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yeah, Pat was working and his windows were down and his top was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonzayne Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I was riding in one of the NC miatas right when the rain started. We got the last dry run of the heat. Thank God for easy tops. We had it up before we even got our times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk1 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 when is the next one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 when is the next one? Father's Day. June 17. PS. Don't use magnetic numbers to mark your car. I can't tell whether the magnet melted onto the clearcoat or whether the clearcoat was ripped off by the magnet. Whatever happened, it is not good.

Eh....I'd imagine the quality was the issue here as we've never had problems with our magnets. Next event is the 16th/17th. The 16th is a drivers school that is already full, Ray and I will be there but will not be taking any passengers at all that weekend.

I think it may have had something to do with the wet followed by heat. The magnets were "stuck" to the car when I tried to remove them. When they came off, so did the luster from the paint in those areas. I can't feel a ridge, so I don't think its the clear coat (I hope). Unfortunately the dullness wouldn't come off with wax. Off to a detailer's tomorrow. Can't wait to be made fun of at school! :woowoo: GS 93 is still emblazened on the side of my car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFreak57 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 yay for 2nd to last in sm!!! the owner of the car i drove was last . My best was a 59.2. but i did have a 58.1 that i still don't believe i hit a cone on, but they counted one. i was sitting in the car warming it up when the rain started, although my bike got soaked. I was afraid I was gonna have to ride back in the rain. Our car kept blowing the alternator fuse. He thinks it's because the exhaust hangs real low and when a cone hits it or you turn hard enough and the o2 sensor shorts out the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 78novaman Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I showed up and watched most of the event. I managed to stay dry and talk to my friends Pat(RX7), Pat(MR2), and Rob(Scion TC). This was the first time I've actually seen solo in person. I'm bummed at the fact there aren't really many domestic cars. I don't get excited about a bunch of 4 banger civics and miatas, not my type of car at all. It seems like it could be fun -when I'm hearing my v8 roar that is. The carts are cool. The sunbeam tiger (does it have the 427?) and the MG are kick ass. I should be able to make it the 17th. Doesn't look too hard, but I figure I'll embarrass myself.
