Still have a few openings for Sunday's autocross at VMP. Celebrate St. Patrick's Day by thrashing on your car!

Remember, Honda Challenge cars can compete in their appropriate Street Prepared class, hybrids can run in Street Modified.

 

Mah **** ain't runnin. The header is off to get coated and I gotta get an oil cooler plugged in. I'd prefer if it was actually connected to the engine.

Now about the supps for future NASA VMP events... It says muffler required. I have a resonator, which is actually listed as a "muffler" in Magnaflow's catalog. Does that count? *evil grin*

Warren

 

Just don't start it before noon. Don't want the f-in neighbor to get his panties bunched up.

Karen

 

*peeks head in door*

Is this the official trash-talking thread?

SO! Karen. You really ARE going to buy a Subaru... That's three times now!!

 

Neighbor as in singular individual? I thought there were mulitple individuals getting all bent out of shape.......

Although i think it was back in november, Tui was fired up right at noon and sent around the course So i dont think your non-muffler is an issue....

Ryan

 

If it is i'm **** out of luck. The tires i've got for my spec rx7 have next to no tread left, so if its rainy (forecast predicts it) then i'll be taking my Saturn out to play.... one-wheel drive, all season tires, not enough gearing and a plethora of understeering fun.

Ryan

 

Warren - you're welcome to drive the RX-7, but I'll be at 6 Flags with AI this weekend.

Does a catalytic convertor count as a muffler. My car only blows 94dB, much less than Warren's supposedly muffled ITR.

 

Well, I can always auto-x my E30 M3 if I want to. We'll see. Thanks for the offer though.

Your car is an annoying 94dB. My car is earth shatteringly loud. I hope I make sound this year! Can you hear my car from inside yours when we're close? I can't really hear anyone else's car from inside.

Oh, btw, drove the E30 a bunch in the rain lately. That thing can seriously be a handful in the wet. Wow. Not sure which end is supposed to face forwards.

Warren

 

me too. Maybe I will formally introduce myself!

I will be in the white civic.

drive safe,

aj

 

It's not mine.

Karen

 

Not YET.

 

Sunday, the weather claims to be clear. I'm going to be mighty irritated if it rains at the one event I'm pretty stuck into running the V8 RWD car while my AWD beast is MIA. Actually, I'll be irritated while I'm standing still... but having a blast throwing the rear end of the car around. It might not be THAT bad in the rain, after all... it has nearly full tread AVSi's on it. Wonder if CONERNR wants a co-driver... I might have to inquire Actually it won't rain. Notice that Warren's Type Rain is out of commission. So ah, seeing as there are basically no SP cars, does BSP get bumped to BP? LOL, Roger Garrett will school me, but it'll be funny.

Is Karen commandeering Scott E's car?

~Chris, who pulled the red dragon from its lair to be inspected by a friend at 7AM in preparation for sunday's bout of firebreathing

 

Karen has had a Subaru in her driveway for almost a year ...

... but I don't think she's ever driven it.

It's not my driveway.
That is correct.

And yes, I've taken over the coveted codriving position with Scott Evans from George Perinis...

Karen

 

So, I guess we ban Warren?

OK...I can't deny it anymore. I am sure it was the old CRX "Muffler" that had the neighbor all bent out of shape. Never measured, but I would be willing to bet it was MUCH higher than 94 db. lol. What do you think Karen? So you can tell them I am not running it and it has a real mufler now so they can run earlier. hehehe.

Have fun.

Eric

 

Yeah, the neighbor at VMP complained when he could hear the CRX running at Fort Meade.

 

I'm WAITING!!! What no Celica Smack, Andy?? Three Days until your OFFICIAL BEAT DOWN!!

 

Hehehehe, I think I still hear the echo's from the tunnel in Virginia Beach.

Kind of funny...I use to feel so sorry for anyone work start when I use to run it. Their ears would be ringing for days.

Wellll, GRM didn't even RUN a Celica in their latest GS comparsion... I mean, they're so bad that they don't deserve a glance?

Hell, we should all be driving Neons anyway...

 

Ever since reading that GRM article, i'm thinking about building one of these....



MaD tiZziTe y0!

 

Ryan, if you ever built and ran one of those Neons, I think I'd cover your entry fee just to see you actually push that around a course. LOL, how bout it? Petersburg Pro, you still have a few months...

~Chris
PS- I'd throw in a beer if I was old enough to, but... how bout a Coke as bonus?

 

Hehe.. how bout i paint my SRX7 that color? Cant be worse than shitbox grey...

A coke would be great. A Coke drank precisely 23 minutes before your first autocross run of the day has been shown to scientifically improved on-course performance....

 

But at least shitbox gray is endearing! I however WOULD find it strangely pleasurable if you painted it Cone Orange. At least you wouldn't have to worry much about conemarks.
