wpmarky Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm signed up for Sunday, running with Solo group so I can drive around with one of my friends. Anyone else interested in some cheap track time? Driving school is open both days, Solo is full Saturday. 'Point by' group.is open both days still, which is what I'll be running. http://www.ncracing.org/events.php Buttonwillow Config #13 CW.

MiniStiGuy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'd love to go but not with the vf40 I have with almost 100k on it. With my luck it will go BOOM on the track and so will my engine once it eats all the pieces of the vf40. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 u dont need a bbk. saulgood3 is plenty fast without one. No offense, but Saul does not accelerate as fast as me. My Speeds on the straights will be higher and thus the braking is inadequate. I am not new to racing. Been racing for almost 30 years, lol. I earned my AMA Pro Card. I know when I need brakes, springs, etc. I know my limits and can find the cars quite quickly. The brakes fade and pulsate on the first hard stop from speed. Just a 4th gear pull overheats them bad and causes issues. Ask LALGT. I took him for a pull and he could feel the car shimmy because of the pulsating brakes. It was the first pull. Brakes are fine when not pushed to the limit. Car pushes the brakes to the limit as soon as I get on it. Looking at Stoptech front and rear now. Just need some cash.

Just need some cash. its cool. i mistakenly went the route of throwing money at the car only to realize a lot of the stuff wasn't really required. in the end i have an overkill street car and a somewhat strange platform to build a track car out of. wasnt sure of ur experience so just wanted to throw that out there. anyway it'd be nice to see someone with experience in a legacy beating up on unsuspecting cars out there... so hopefully no weird tire shenanigans for this weekend's event car for sale.

m sprank Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 no offense, but his name is luis Never met him. Just PM's and on the forum. I was referring to his user name, lol. I would LOVE to get out to a track with turns with some other Leggys. I am dying to do it. But, the car is not ready and I do not want to push it too hard. I know once I am on the track I will not be able to hold back. If the car is not ready and I am, we are going to crash. Not that I want to, but it is reality. My body bears the scars of pushing machines and suspensions beyond their limits. I test rode for several manufacturers and raced pro until injuries left me qualifying for permanent disability. I am trying to get some tires today as FedEx "lost" my set in shipping. Problem is that set was a "deal" and I was paying less than $200 for 4 race tires. Locally it is going to cost me $800. Not sure I can swing it. Once I have some tires and brakes the asphalt that bends is calling. Drags this weekend, even if I have to destroy my street tires. I gotta check out your Green Lawrence. Is it a greenHTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hey Mike, What size tires were you looking for?

Is it a greenHTA? no plain jane green. got it back in the day when the only real choices other than 18g or 20g was the green, or the SZ49... which was basically the same exact turbo. the car is an old lady (88,xxx miles) so was detuned recently so no longer the ~400whp sexy time it used to be. can check out the car if you'd like! next week when my schedule is favorable though car for sale.
