The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[WillD]

I did a couple autocross runs on those Yokos last year and they worked pretty well I was impressed. It was like 50 degrees outside though. 17x9's with 235s would've been killer in STR

Sorry to make you two crabby.(sad2)

I dont actaully know any of you guys in person, so Mazda talk is about all I can contribute... But I do like turtles

We're just kidding around, mate. It would be nice to have an Auto-X Ohio thread anyway.

The new wheels look awesome, btw.

Yeah, I know... No offense taken

I'm looking forward to tomorrow @ Indy and Sunday for picking up the motor. Then slapping it in the MSP for reasons I can't speak of.

i made an auto-x chat htread in the ohio section. Let's keep the talking going because newbs like me can learn from listening as well. And josh won't get even more grumpy than he already is. He and i are about tied on crabbiness.

Until someone drops the politics bomb then they are not taken serious at all and everyone runs away. That was halarious how the Columbus meet ended. THANKS SUNNY!

Evan #1, should we go squirrel chasing in Spicy?

 

[Lewis7789]

Corey, that was funny. I hate politics and was like "Now is a good time to hit the road for home.". Haha

Marlon, hell to the yes. (side story) Marlon came out to dinner last night in Spicy and on the way to Applebees (shut up, Josh. I like them) a squirrel ran out in the road, Marlon blipped the throttle and the BOV and the squirrel freaked out and didn't know which way to run. It was pretty funny, probably had to be there though. But damn that thing is a beast. (Spicy, not that squirrel)

 

[WillD]

(Spicy, not that squirrel)

(rofl)

I'm looking forward to seeing Spicy, bring it out to the ASCC autocross on the 5th.

.......on the way to Applebees (shut up, Josh. I like them)

I went golfing with a buddy after work yesterday. He wanted to grab some dinner afterwards, and suggested Applebees...

He got a good, stern, talking to......

 

[fishdonotbounce]

What's wrong with Applebees?

 

[Josue6WGN]

What's wrong with Applebees?

The food is mediocre at best, and they're always staffed with the worst people. Total garbage experience every time I'm at one!!

Okay, I'm still very new at this Mazda "club" you ohio guys have lol. How about we meet up in like Ashland on Aug 18th. If we could get a gang of 20-30 people we could strap a restaurant down. Or maybe you guys could all come to PaceMakers in Knox County and we could all go down the 1/8 mile all day and just chill. It would be like a Flash Mob, except with Mazda's lmao

And, I finally tracked down pistons and rings, time to order after work at Summit. I love living 10 minutes away from Summit Racing.

I think there's another meet set up for that day.

I need to head up there and buy a pressure bleeder for brakes. It always slips my mind until I need one!

 

[tweiss3]

I know the feeling. It always slips my mind to buy one till I need it and don't have the money to buy one.

 

[iSeth]

Okay, Aug 10th it's on a Friday. I think it would be sweet just to hangout somewhere like a huge parking lot and we just pack it full, then we all drive off together to eat at a restaurant. Imagine how pissed the servers would get when seeing 30 people walk in lmao

 

[Josue6WGN]

Calm down there...lol

It's nice to think big, but those numbers are all but impossible to achieve. Everyone is pretty busy during the summer, and people always drop out at the last minute. It seems there are usually at least one or 2 big meets a year, plus the Mazda Corral at Mid Ohio, and all 3 of them are behind us now.

Hopefully we can get a good sized one going before the end of the season, to cap off a great year! Maybe another Sahlen's shop tour??

 

[tweiss3]

Yea, I mean, people don't even show up to Menchies

I really enjoyed the shop tour and would be interested to do that again. I would imagine that they would be switching from the RX-8 to whatever has the new diesel right? If so, that'd be cool to see.

At the risk of mentioning the "A" word there's a group going out to Toledo at the end of Aug. for an autocross...

I love Menchies and have been meaning to bring the wife out but as previously mentioned, busy during the summer and all that.
