Gearing up for VIR.
Boys and girls!
Just getting ready for VIR. I'll have the scales, camber/caster gauge and toe plates available friday for anyone that needs to check their setup. I'll also have my usual collection of honda parts in case anyone gets caught out. Im also happy to provide my limited knowledge ( you know me I always have a 2 beer opinion)
If there is anything anyone needs before VIR please let me know and I'll try and deliver it. a quick list of things I will have:
1 set 225/50/15 kumho vixctoracers shaved.
springs springs springs
lower ball joints
axle nuts
tie rod ends (integra/civic)
comptech wheel studs
comptech sway bar ends
lug nuts.
front uprights
brake pads (gsr/civic)
a box full of nuts and bolts.
Alex.

Has anyone else noticed that Alex Ratcliffe kicks ***? Couldn't lose to a nicer guy.
Alex, I look forward to VIR...hopefully I can find what I found there last year.

Yeah, Alex... I need 200 lbs worth of lead for Mr. Evans and a cut plug wire.
I can also bring some extra A-Ds and splitters for the cr3w.... Let me know. I have most of them in stock.
John- Who doesn't carry many spares... and will most-likely need Alex's help one day.

Re: Gearing up for VIR. (chad)
Not gonna happen Chad.
I won't punt or push someone out of the way.
I know your j/k..... right?
After reviewing many of the incidents this year I can say almost ALL were NOT intentional. Just racin' incidents.

Re: Gearing up for VIR. (kingrat)
Hmm. I could use your help to set the camber a little more negative than I usually have it on the street. Usually I just eyeball it on the skunk A arm settings. Where will you be Friday evening?

Re: Gearing up for VIR. (Jason Franza)
A lot of H3 guys agree with your statement as well Franza. Hehe. You guys have fun up there. If it were a closer drive I would drive up to watch. I will be pulling for Schultz to clean up at the local track. But with the times that Alex pulled last year (insane) I would have to put money on Alex.

Re: Gearing up for VIR. (chrisb)
flattery will get you everything....
I doubt I could match those times from VIR last year.... not without the moton setup. If I could turn 46s I'll be happy

Since Summit Point, I have 1) New battery, 2) Hytech header, and 3) will have 800lb rear springs (though my shocks still aren't up to the task). I'll be faster, but still not fast enough to fight for the win. Definately fast enough to beat up on Harper though!
