The nice thing about lapping with this crowd is that I don’t worry about someone getting stupid and wrecking my ride. Everyone I’ve seen on the track so far has been capable and aware enough that I don’t worry about them.
That lets me drive my car within my limits and see what I can do to improve the line. On the 14th, I’m likely to take the front stretch a little more slowly this time so I don’t have to stand on my brakes at the end of the stretch like I did last time. Either that, or I have to get some better pads (I was running some cheap OEM pads) before I track my car again.
not to stick up for us 240sxs but my car still needs its brake lines bought and put on and the hicas line still have to be corked off if i get that done by sat/sun i will probably go and most of us 240s r broke lol but my car only has cold air and its an automatic im not afraid to go if my car can make it i will
If people aren’t sure what their car is capable of, at least try one event and see how your car does. Cooling, handling, power will all become clear once you put your car through the paces.
There’s also people who can’t afford to break down as its their daily driver (I’m one of them but I’ve still gone to a couple of events). Good way to test your build or work that you’ve done.
Anyways, everyone has their thing. And it doesn’t make em any more elite because they went to a track event. Just gives them all the more reasons to start talking trash to and about others. Something thats clearly visible in some of the threads as of late. (Sure it’s all in good fun, yayaya, until you poke an eye out) :o
It all comes down to the fun factor. Nothing like being in the company of some fast cars and some interesting cool people and friends.
Like I’ve said, building a “track” car and not taking it to the track is like getting your penis enlarged. I think some people do it so that others can see the bigger bulge in their pants.
For sure. That means you were out there doing it and pushing the car to its limits. They say if you don’t go off track you aren’t going fast enough
Samson I think there are a lot of built track cars that will never see the track. With huge brakes, cages, every brace you can name from Carbing and Nagista as well as coilovers sporting super aggressive spring rates. And why are they doing that again? Its not comfortable, its not reliable, its not cheap, hell it doesn’t even get bitches, so…WTF?
EDIT: I saw the Gallardo roadster from the Aug 6 event in downtown traffic this AM, god that is hard to watch a bull castrated like that.
so ur talking about a race car built to be a show queen! trailer queen
i say if u build it fu*king drive it! i couldnt stand to just look at my car everyday and not drive it just like durin the whole build i have been going nuts!
