[Dude]

I'll be there as always.

[skylinesx]

[seNATEr]

OK just so we are 100 % clear.... there will be single runs competition as well as the tandem ??

[racedaygraphics]

Tandem competition only. No single run competition. Single run practice until Tandem competition starts.

[alex37211]

[trytoslide]

[skylinesx]

what size tires are you needing?

[TNdrifter905]

what size tires are you needing?

any tires that fit facotry wheels on a 240sx

[my_friend_bobby]

any tires that fit facotry wheels on a 240sx

i have some 15'' tires dont know how the tread is 25 a set they more then likely wont match.



ill be at this one, putting the car down tomorrow to fix the fender and bumber.

[90kacoupe]

everybody get your cages ready and fire suits on hand cause it's gonna get crazy

[skylinesx]

well i've got like 4 maybe 6 that will fit if your interested you can have them, they're take offs from work but still have decent ammount of tread on them.

AH i can't wait to get my cage finished and pick up a fire suit, I need to see how much the halo, forward bars, and door bars will run me, (maybe have the harness bar redone too if mine is deemed unacceptable).

[Mr-x]

I wish i still had my el camino...

lol

[Mr-x]

hell i got a video of bubba drift on my profile as an upload

www.youtube.com/xeronicus

[dakar318]

sooo i see only 1 person registered on motorsports reg?

whats the deal? are people worried about loosing track time to guys with cages?

[skylinesx]

well I'm def going to be there, I just get side tracked and never get registered untill a few days before the event, like right now I dont have my card on me and too lazy to go grab it, sooo i'll pre reg. soon as I get around to it. My car isn't fully caged but i'm going to be there for some seat time.

Hey guys, I would like to come down there an run this event with you guys. However, I have not drifted at this venue before and there are two other local events that same weekend for me. So if somone could briefly describe the track I may make the trip down there. Is this a lot event or is this a road course? 50 70 or 90mph entry? Just kind of wondering what you guys have in store for this event before I register.

[racedaygraphics]

It's a 1/4 flat oval. The front stretch provides for around a 50 to 60 mph entry if you have the stones. We do 2 laps with clipping points in the middle of each straight. There are some vids on youtube under tennessee drift. Check it out and come win $500.

[skylinesx]

thought I'd share this with everybody...snapped this at Forumla D this past weekend in ATL while I was passing out flyers.

[2wycked]

yo, if she registers i'll register LOL

[skylinesx]

ummm she said she may make an appearance :D maybe....

[90kacoupe]

putting a new tranny in since i destroyed mine at Formula D round 2. but come out guys lets get rowdy! if anybody is up for it.. im thinking earliest entry competition....

[skylinesx]

hmm I prob won't win earliest entry but i'm down to try lol

[trytoslide]

Im up for trying the "let's not break anything today" competition. lol. Thats been a tough one lately.

[90kacoupe]

if you have any idea on a competition that everybody can be in on pm it to me. I'm trying to come up with a fun yet very effective way to push everybody to try new things and improve there driving.

[90kacoupe]

come on guys lets get registered.. we got a week left and only brian showing support. it will be open practice untill 3. and if we don't get atleast 16 tandem cars it will be practice all day

[Dude]

I'll be out spectating as always. Not sure if I want to get out and mess around in the Z

[racedaygraphics]

If we do not get 16 tandem cars (and it doesn't look like we will), it will be a practice day and the competition will be cancelled. Come on out and get some good seat time.

[trytoslide]

come on guys where are all the tandem cars at? we've got a good schedule this year so show some support. while a practice day is great we need to get some competition going to get ready for pro-am. or at least i do. lol. jeremy, i'll try and brainstorm something today to liven things up saturday. good luck with the tranny too. im glad we caught you guys in atlanta it just sucks your car went pop on you. see everyone this weekend.

[90kacoupe]

its cool... i got the new transmission put in yesterday so im ready to get rowdy. here is the only picture of me at road atlana.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q235/90kacoupe/roadatlkillingitforblog.jpg

[dakar318]

well since it will turn out to be a practice day i might scramble to get a tie rod in my piece and get it aligned

[90kacoupe]

^do it you'll get tones of track time

[skylinesx]

I finally got off my ass and pre-reg, see you guys there, someone shoot me some info on the materials to finish my cage, i remember barry mentioning a shop doing cages for s13's, I have a guy to do the welding just need the bent tubing.

I need
-Halo, Forward bars, "nascar style" door bars, possibly pipe to redo my harness bar if mine is unacceptable.

[seNATEr]

why not have single run competition aswell?

[KoukiS14Drifter]

i second this

just download scca's requirements and your good to go do pretty much anykind of racing

[90kacoupe]

i second this

single run competitions are really hard to judge with out having a bunch of stuff to take raw data on. Like multiple radar guns to get speed. And stuff like that. When you get to final round pretty much both drivers are on their clips and their lines are both good. Either the course would have to get a lot tighter meaning you have to have great accuracy and stuff like that.. That's why you don't see many single run comps... But me and barry can discuss it and go from there.

[Reddog23]

how much is it to just watch

[seNATEr]

i know but a lil competition never hurt. kinda a boost in confidence that enzyte cant even give you to place. we can rotate out. but cool just bring it up to him. maybe 200 for single winner and 300 for tandy winner

well before we can give money away we need more people to register lol

[KoukiS14Drifter]

thats would be great if you and him could make it work jeremy

[Dude]

Someone get me the hookup on some S13 coilovers and a KAAZ Super Q 1.5 way...

[4x4le]

2 way or gtfo!

Maybe if my plans were to build the car strictly for drifting.

[4x4le]

I think its only downside would be roadracing. I dont find that it effects street driving any. The difference between 1.5 and 2 is only noticable on hard decel. You will loose angle more rapidly when off the gas with a 1.5

Just saying.

[Dude]

I doubt i'll ever have enough cash to buy one anyways lol.

[4x4le]

I got a great deal on my tomie 2 way from one of my sponsors EAT motorsports. $675 shipped! I couldnt say no.

[my_friend_bobby]

how much is it to just watch

[my_friend_bobby]

I doubt i'll ever have enough cash to buy one anyways lol.

[Matt H.]

If anybody wants any pointers I'll be there to help out.

[carmaniac1993]

[Dude]

Slept in too late :/

[skylinesx]

[skylinesx]

Had a great day this past saturday at Tennessee drift. I am very slim on photos and vids right now as 90% of my time was spent in the driver seat and the other 10% working on the car, changing tires, and helping eric with his car but heres what I have right now, I'll try to get more up later this week.

I had been building up alot of crankcase pressure over the last couple events, thanks to initiald93/Dustin for giving me a heads up on rerouting some lines and talking me through a couple things on the phone I got it fixed and back on track, no more smoke and no more blowing the dipstick out.
