eekay Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yup! Should be a good time. Met akline5 last night. Thanks for having us, bro! Food was awesome. And sorry about the dog shit. I totally spaced that out. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiftyTwoEighty Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I hope to be there when the gates open. Should I expect them to enforce the helmut policy for running 13.99 or faster? If so, anyone have one that I can borrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegemt Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you run consitant 13's maybe, if you get 1 or 2 they usually dont notice. I have one, but you can also rent at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collegemt Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 they dont ask for insurance cards. I think enthusiast usualy brings a bag of tools. I would but I don't want to tug around the extra weight. I am going to bring a cooler with a couple bags of ice to cool my IC though. The weather is suppost to be a high of 74 with isolated thunderstorms. So hopefully it will be nice and cool with little to no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, anyone have one that I can borrow? Last time I was there and running low-mid 13's they radio'd the girl at the timeslip station and told her to tell me I wasn't going to run again unless I was wearing a helmet. I had one with me but they had never said anything before once past initial tech inspection. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtang Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/gan_ni_niah/perrininlet-1.jpg i circled where it came off... its not the hose that connects to that aluminum thing but the aluminum thing coming apart from the inlet.....

I'll have some tools with me. Of course, very simple tools (socket sets, wrenches, screwdrivers, clamps, etc...) So, for minor fixes/modifications, they should suffice.

yokotaalum Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's looking more like I won't be racing my dsm tomorrow, so if anyone needs to store stuff safely in a car tomorrow they are welcome to use mine. It'll have to fit in the trunk or front seats, though. I don't feel like removing the kids car seats. If anyone's interested in this, I can send my info and maybe text them when I get there or something. Also, who all from the Boulder area is going? Anyone want to caravan up together?

tingtang Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 i might have to take u up on that offer... i might have a couple friends going that arent gonna be racing so i will probably be able to store stuff in their cars but if not i will definitely let you know....

Richard T Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 My plan is to leave the DTC around 4:00 pm. GT500 guy from work will be tagging along. It'll be his first time ever to the track so I'll have a little preliminary coaching to do before running. Anyone know if they'll require him acquire/rent a helmet before he actually runs a 13.99? Is it a judgment call when getting teched or something? Oh man, am I getting excited for tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ask you some questions when you are getting tech checked and sometimes ask what times you have run. If it is his first time just say 15's which he may see.

Legend Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I just took well over 100lbs off the car. I'm gonna try and break 12. I took out my spare and tools and floor mats.. will take out kid seat tomorrow. What did you take out? And by "break 12" you don't mean 11's, do you?

collegemt Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 My wife will be coming, so we should get some good filming tomorrow. However my 18 month old son will be there as well, so filming might be a bit more challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 12.9 if I'm lucky I took off my yakima rack (15-25lbs) Spare and tools Road Flares Tow Strap Jumper Cables First Aid kit Rescue Mask Torque Wrench with extensions and socket Dog Toys Doggie Barrier thingy (15-20lbs) Various articles of clothing some floor mats Maps of most of the states coins ($5.30 in mostly nickels) Headrests of back seats But I did leave both amps and the sub in. I could actually feel the weight change just by moving the car back into the garage... all of 5 feet. My GF is coming to the track as well. Do they take credit cards there?
