You going Pablo?

 

[pmartz16]

I will probably do that one. Its only an hour from me.
got it

 

[princess peach]

You going Pablo?

I'd like to, hoping the shoulder is better by then (still hurts a bit). I have had zero interest in the MSM, so I think I might just keep it.

 

[pmartz16]

its a hard car to sell. I wish I had the extra money because I've always had a soft spot for them and now watching them tear it up at the track makes me like them even more

 

[WillD]

I'm not sure I'm going to go to that one. I'm going to the National Tour in Wilmington the week before and the week after I'm going back down to Cincinnati to visit my bro-in-law.

will someone have a jack that is going to be at the autox sunday? Just wondering if I will have to bring mine out

 

[Lewis7789]

I'm going to Harbor Freight tomorrow to pick up one of their little aluminum ones. They are on sale for $70 with a coupon if you want me to pick one up for you too? Otherwise, I can bring mine.

 

[pmartz16]

oh yeah are you getting this one?http://www.harborfreight.com/Low-Profile-Floor-Jack-with-Rapid-Pump-25-Ton-Heavy-Duty-Steel-68049.html?ccdenc=eyJjb2RlIjoiNjI0OTQ2NDEiLCJza3UiOiI2ODA0OSIsImlzIjoiNzcuOTkiLCJwcm9kdWN0X2lk%0D%0AIjoiODA0NyJ9%0D%0A
or the same one marc has? I'll give you extra to have this one

 

[Lewis7789]

I'm getting the little guy that Marc has. This one;

But I have the one you posted and it works very well. But it's much bigger and heavy as balls.

 

[pmartz16]

oh I don't want heavy I'll take the light one then. Are you racing?

 

[Lewis7789]

Nah, I'm just going to watch you guys and do some recon. I'll pick one up for you tomorrow and will bring it Sunday. Don't forget my cash or I'll have to break your legs.

 

[pmartz16]

I like my knee caps the way they are. I got it. pay day couldn't come fast enough

 

[pmartz16]

Here are my runs from sunday. They all progressively got faster. I dropped 4 seconds by the third video. I was amazed at how much tires make a difference. I was finally able to come into a corner really fast and just stand on the brakes and be able to turn rather than have to anticipate everything and start slowing down before I should have to

Run #1:

Run #2:

Run #3:

 

[WillD]

Very nice Patrick!

Your friend Marc did a pretty good job for his first time ever as well.

We will see you at the annual Mazda autocross event right? http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123828428-2nd-Annual-AutoX-Mazda-Meet-Weekend-Aug-25th

 

[pmartz16]

yes I like the airport a lot. I want to do a couple in between now and then though.
Also I loved that mount you let me use so I ordered one at the meet after the races lol

 

[WillD]

Yeah it's awesome I use it all the time.

Airport concrete + r compound tires is going to be awesome.
