nice coon, i wanted to come so bad, we could have made it but i really didnt think levi would have wanted to have drove back at 3am lol.

Umm, you'd need to do some crazy stuff like gut the interior or go full cage to be anything else. At that point you'd go into a prepared category. With the MSP, all you have to do is put a BOV on the car and you're thrown into Street Mod. It's pretty much one of the stop "street" classes. Some common competitors in that class (for us at least) is Brian (goofy guy with the Shinka RX8 that did the Pitt fun run with us) in his turbo'd Focus, there are a few Subarus in that class. Perro del Sol runs his Spicy in SM.

Here's a link to the last event I ran's scores.

That may give you an idea of who may run in that class.

What all mods does Coon have on his 3? That will help me tell you where he is.

I was looking at that link a lil more and what is the FP class?? i see that that is a MSP in that class too, and what was up with that f150 it got some good times from the looks of it? and what is PAX

Ok...It was Bill Brees' MSP.

The F150 was a beast.

Pics of everything can be seen there.

PAX is a number that is multiplied to your times to make all classes more equal. Sorta like a handicap.

thanks for the link to the pix, im still trying to figure out all the info for these events. So SM is my class.

Coon do they do events like ones in OH at North Park????

 

[THE Phen]

Yep, SM for sure. Feel free to ask any questions to me, perro del sol on here, or join up on the NORA forum. Plus, everyone working the events are good people and will help with any questions.

Coondogg, I knew I had seen your car on these boards before. I was at North Park yesterday (just spectating). My buddy was in the black 08 STI.

Your car looks great in person.

Shame Fatti didnt make it, I have been looking forward to checking out your Spicy MSP.

 

[coondogg]

Sweet, and thanks lol. Next time I'll have you run video.

I guess that I didnt do too bad since I beat a C5 Corvette... (lol2)

Make sure you make it over to the Pa shoot the s*** thread. We need more Pittsburghers over there...

 

[coondogg]

Coon do they do events like ones in OH at North Park????

Yep, only better...

I do believe either the NHSCC or the Pittsburgh region of SCCA have a battle event...

That looks like it would be the event to go to!

 

[THE Phen]

We have a "smackdown event" every year where some clubs from all around come together to compete. I do believe a lot of PA guys participated.

i dont see to much talk from ppl in Pittsburgh area about AutoX, in on a local pittsburgh forum and it just seems that most ppl are into drag. Must not be on the pittspeed that much.

 

[THE Phen]

They probably feel the same way about drag that I do. (Pretty ghey for FWD cars built for handling, such as Mazdas)

lol ya, but i will admit that i did buy drag radials lol i got a good deal. I just want to see how low into 13's i can go and i know 13's will be the lowest i can go. Its just no where as much fun as AutoX and i could only imagine how much fun road racing would be.

 

[THE Phen]

Truely, if I ever saw an RX8 at the drag strip, I'd smack a b****.

My Civic I would like to take to the strip once or twice just to get an idea of how it would run.

 

[coondogg]

I had a dream that I droke a drive shaft at the strip... makes me scared to go.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah, I've seen too much break at a drag for me to want to do it. Sure, you just go straight, but you have to launch it hard as hell. You don't necessarily have to launch it like that doing an auto-x.

 

[coondogg]

droke...


lmao!
