Default Anyone up for LACR Wed. night???

Just thought I might take a ride up that way tomorrow night.

I'm sure the D/A will be typical high desert (5000 ish) and the track prep mediocre at best, but I haven't been to LACR with the finished AFR 205 package....also, as I certainly won't be setting any records in that air, I thought I would just cruise up on the Nitto 555 RII's and see what kind of 60' I could get with the "touchy" Exedy dual, but I will be more focused on MPH which is a better indicator of power to the ground. Just looking to have some fun and have a decent baseline to compare against future modifications

Anyway...PM me if your up for it. Pretty sure I'm going to head up that way.

Probably leave Santa Clarita around 7:00....that should give me a solid two hours to get a few passes in by the time I get there and tech in.

Wednesdays are usually pretty quiet....I should easily be able to make 4-6 runs without a problem.

Cmon out if you have an evening to spare....hopefully there wont be any sandstorms tomorrow night either....LOL

Yeah....I hear you on the traffic...gotta love southern CA for that!

Anyway...for the benefit of everyone else, racing starts at 5:30 and it is basically just a test and tune kinda night. Its never usually crowded so if you wanted to get some good seat time in, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Jerami...I might be able to get home, grab a quick bite, and head out around 6:30....That puts me at LACR a little after 7:00

I painted my jackstands so my car would look faster....

Ride would be no problem if you follow my back down closer to sea level....otherwise it will feel sloooooowww....

I wish you were bringing a car you know goes "X" fast....LACR is the "humbler" of southern CA...nothing like a first hand experience. Bring one of your jack stands...LOL

well i know the mr2 is slow so i assume the DA would make it even slower

its a shame we dont have any of those "texas" tracks; you know, the ones with a negative DA, down hill slope, and professional track prep
