IF ANYONE WANTS TO RIDE WITH ME FOR FREE TO HANG OUT AND CHECK THIS TRACK OUT MEET ME AT THE DELTA SPOT AT 10!!!

I HAVE ROOM FOR 2 MORE, IF YOUR A FGGT IM DROPPING YOUR ASS OFF ON THE 90 =]

No one contacted me about the trailer so I didn’t pick it up… so no one is using it. :frowning:

Jim (jt76) was worried about rain driving but that’s not a concern anymore.

I’m carting Brian’s (38stang’s) slicks / skinnies and he mentioned last night that joelster was all ready, but then something happened. That was later last night though and I would have needed to know if he wanted a tow almost at that moment. :/:

See you guys in a few.

Looking forward to this. I can’t believe people are whimping out.

Choda passed me on the thruway on my way to lake chautauqua. Should’ve been towing a Z instead of a boat.

im hoping you guys get some good video and pictures! i was hoping to be there…but the dsm had other plans for today, like…blowing up…lol

That blows man…

I guess nobody is running that great down there? Humidity?

The DA at 12:51 pm was:

+2579 feet which is not very good.

The track is 684 ft above sea level. For comparison Dunn Tire and Empire typically run between 2000-3000ft DA in the summer. On those rare crisp fall nights when it’s 50 degrees out it will dip below 1000, but you have to be ready to take advantage of it. The best i’ve ever raced in locally was around 600ft, but I know we’ve had negative DA before, maybe once or twice a year. Our tracks close too early. Tracks at a lower elevation like Maryland Int Raceway which is at 87ft above, will run well into November. That’s where all of those “internet class racing heroes” go to set records. The DA at those tracks can get crazy good. Temps in the 40’s, a sticky track, and records will be set. Not uncommon to see DA at the -1500ft level. That will turn a 11.25 second car at Empire in July, into a 10.65 car with zero changes.

Great day guys :tup:

The sun kicked my ass, lol… looks like I’m going to be pealing my arms in a few days…

It was SUPER humid out there. No one ran record times (Choda only managed a 10.00 :tif: ) but it was fun regardless!

A good amount of people came to watch, but only 10 cars from the forums actually raced. And only 6 were left for the challenge runs, lol.

No PittSpeed guys made it. One :snky: car broke down on I-79 and one didn’t finish it in time. Several NYSpeed guys had the same problems. We even lost one guy on the way down as his car was smoking :frowning:

But we’ll be doing this again sometime this summer for sure :tup:

Mindless took fastest FWD
Braketracer took fastest AWD
Choda took fastest RWD

I can’t remember the times off the top of my head.

I’m sure people will post stories from today, but LMAO at Choda & Lucky going back-n-forth! Lucky is the man :tup:

i didnt break down, actually; i somehow sliced open a stainless steel brake line… had to e-brake it into a rest area. that smoke was brake fluid. yay?

o man that sucks i saw some smoke coming out i wasnt sure if you were over heating or something but at least brake line is an easy fix

Damn. Glad it happened on the highway and not on the track!

you and me both! haha 50 bucks and an hour of wrenching i can handle

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TIME AND ILL GO BACK ANYTIME

60’ = 1.54
1/8 = 6.37 @ 108
1/4 = 10.0000 @ 138

All the cars were way off cause it was 90* and 200% humidity hahaha

Im taking a shower and laying on the couch cause im beat from talking trash in my PA slang :lol:

Cant wait to see the pics and vids! Ill buy good ones of me and Jimshorts AMG KILLLAAAAAAA

:tup:
