Tinman Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well since the Oven thread has closed I thought I would invite Hal to run against a stock V6 on a real track here instead. First off, let me say that this is probably only being posted as I have had a few and have not posted here much lately and it's getting pretty fucking boring on CR. Secondly, I know nothing of Hal and very little about his car, only what was posted in the oven thread. But I would like to see him bring it out to Mid Ohio or Nelson Ledges and see how he does against a little n/a V6. I will be at the Mid Ohio NASA event on the 16th and 17th and invite him to come out and compare lap times. If it is too late to register I'm sure we can meet at Nelson Ledges before they close for the season. The car in question is my daily driver 89 RX7 with a stock GM 3.8. It puts down a measly 187rwhp and weighs 3000lbs. with me and a full tank of gas on board. The only change I make for the track is alignment settings, everything else remains the same as my daily 50 mile commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have nothing to lose so I'm not concerned. I've never driven a road course, it could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ok. Edit: Didn't see dates. I would be fine with racing, I need to check the dates though. I'm guessing the NASA Mid Ohio event is full by now but Nelson Ledges has a few Fun Days left this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 maybe there should be some skin in the game? what was that you offered me? $1000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm guessing the NASA Mid Ohio event is full by now but Nelson Ledges has a few Fun Days left this season. Cool, if you find out days, I'll try to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04silvrz Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 ok, let's do the road course they do. how much does the track time cost at Mid-Ohio Tinman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Cool, if you find out days, I'll try to make it. September 5th, October 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st. Unfortunately Nelson Ledges has been sold and rumor has it that they will be shutting down after Labor Day for a complete revamp of the facilities and track. If this holds true there is also another NASA event at Mid Ohio and one at Putnam Park this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 how much does the track time cost at Mid-Ohio Tinman? Nelson Ledges Fun Days are $120 or $130. NASA Events are $300-$350 per weekend or $150-$175 for a Friday only. You must be a NASA member to sign up but membership is only $40 and comes with plenty of perks and discounts.

If this holds true there is also another NASA event at Mid Ohio and one at Putnam Park this year. I'm a touch closer to Putnam now (hour and change) - so if anyone's headed up feel free to stop by and crash. You'll have to sleep in the room filled with high explosives, fertilizer, and various weaponry - but hey - that's better then the place reeking of curry, right?

Kurt B. Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 If you guys do this toward the end of October I want in. I got to do a few parade laps at Mid-Ohio, and have wanted to go back ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I got a $100 on matt VS anybody in this thread. ORLY... My 3.4 vs. his 3.8. Mine's 3300 w/ driver so it's got 300lbs on him too. Just to add fuel to the fire. While the NASA event appears full, the PCA event the following two days (18'th/19'th) it not at capacity yet and only $295 for two days.
