I had a blast, that location is great. Real fast. Eventually I'll do a more in-depth writeup of the day and post it in the racing section.

cool vids. Wheel hop much? Or was that just the surface? I feel bad if there was any1 in Karts or Modifieds

The launch? I was having trouble figuring out the best way to get it going on a non-asphalt surface. It was probably just the surface though. Some of the spots were really sandy and had weeds growing in the cracks. We need to go back and nuke 'em with round up. hehe... there were a few karts, lots of modifieds, and a beastily National winning CP car with over 700hp. When they drove through the pit area, rocks were flying everywhere.

on the launch too, but it sounded like when you getting on the throttle on corner exit you were getting some hop. It could just be your suspension and those cracks, I don't know. Whatever it was, it sounded un-good. It did look like a fun course, with the exception of that high speed offset slalom...I hate those things lol

Headlights are going to look fantastic Redneck, nice job!

I painted various parts in my rear suspension setup. Got too late for pics though. Will post later.

It is possible but overall it didn't feel like it while I was out there. I do know my suspension and other things (forgetting to take other keys off the chain) make a crap load of noise while out there... hehe. The slalom actually wasn't that bad. What was getting most people was that jog into the finish, you were going real fast and got incredibly tight. Plus there was some nice foilage there that added to the oversteer A ton of people spun out there. You can see the back push a tiny bit in one of my runs, but not much at all--it kept nice and tidy the whole day! Except on run two where I slaughtered that poor slalom cone... my buddy said I barely hit it but it sure sounds louder in the video.

last night pushed her to about 108 mph.

I ususally have to hold back from 108mph.... I have a lead foot I am trying to quit.

 

[2003newlyack]

I have only gone 99mph and I really need to break that 100 mark

I wrote a little about the day here http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=123644494

Also, some GOOD NEWS! Finally, after a mere three month wait I received a new Axxis Ultimate brake pad. Now I can finish the rotor and pad install I started in spring! I am also going to paint the calipers black. Hopefully I'll do this Wednesday and Thursday. I've got another project I want to finish first, so it might not happen. These brake pads better be the best thing since sliced bread as well. Or at least not turn my wheels brown like the HP+ seeing as I'm too lazy to wash my car
