What exactly do you mean by "tires in good condition"? I take that to mean road tires worn down to slicks.....

Are you going Chris. I might get my car dirty.

Hey and when the drag season opens up, we're gonna have to have a heads up brick vs. brick race! Better make sure you're packing enough power, because I'll be representing the old school RWD ****

Its on like donkey kong!

The mods are starting to arrive for the Brick. Should be around 17psi by spring time. Dont want to go to much more than that.

Someone has got to develop some "on the fly" tuning for these cars. The prices the co.;s are charging for chipping them is ******* stupid! 400-500 just to have someone flash your ECU is assenine.

Aww my turbo loses efficiency after ~15psi.. I guess I'll just have to make up for it with the 300 pounds less my car weighs and the 210K miles of "experience" my car has And the NX system that isn't doing any good just sitting in the garage, ahhaha

Yeah the FWD guys get screwed with prices.. The RWD guys that tune their car get a standalone fuel/spark system (MegaSquirt n Spark) for like $400.

Hey Robert,

I am interested but only if the weather is dry. Yeah I'm a wimp about that too. Since we've had like a month of freakin rain, it's not real promising. If I go at the last minute I will pay the extra 50. It would be sooo much fun. The bad part is we hafta take out the NOS. FYI - it's recommended to put in synthetic brake fluid, because the regular fluid will boil.

Unhappy

UPDATE: TRACK DAY CANCELLED. From the AF website...

November 15, 2005
It is with a heavy heart! We are postponing the AF Car Track Day until further notice due to a tragic loss to the AF Family of a very, very close friend. It is with the utmost respect that we are postponing this event. We hope that you will understand. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
Sincerely,

Mario Alvarez

FYI, your stock brake fluid will not boil at the track under the conditions you will be running. Contrary to belief, you will not truly be racing anyone since passing is not allowed except in three let by areas and only then if the lead driver acknowledges you by moving over and signally for you to go by. If you don't follow those rules then they will pull you off the track regardless of who you are. I have been through several track day events and have never had a problem with my brakes. That was driving at about 60-70%. Sorry to hear it was cancelled.
