Going in for mih (now) routine cut-a$$ again :(

Mr. Fixables

Well, another night event this weekend.

Only change to the Teggy is a new set of brake lines and fluid.

So far, the current cars registered for the GS class is :

- 2008 Dodge SRT-4
- 2007 Honda Civic Si
- 2007 Mini Cooper S (on Hoosiers)
- 2006 Audi A4 (2.0T) Quattro
- 1998 Acura Integra LS (auto) - ME Very Happy

Once again, my goal is NOT to come last, but it was real close the last time. Gonna try to get some pics / videos if possible.

GS? I take it that GS is not the same as it is here!
Good luck Kirk, that's some ridiculous competition though.

Kirk, ah know yuh good, but wat the fack U trying to prove going up against competition like dat?...... Shocked

Its truly brinning a knife to a gun fight!

Do the organisers truly believe this is your class? How in heck's name did they arrive at this classification?

Can't argue with them. I will let you guys know the outcome.

you can't argue, but you can appeal.
the problem is a car "similar" to yours was competitive against similar competition.

Let me know how the SRT-4 does.....if the Cooper S driver is any good, no one should come close to his time...especially on hoosiers!

Mr. Fixables · Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:47 am Post subject:

Actually, the last time I ran, the Mini Cooper S was only 3.6 seconds ahead of me. So the driver is definitely the weak link in that combo. Very Happy

If I can stay within 4 seconds of him this time, I think I can get the Auto Teggy to run him down with some work.

Kirk, what tires are you running with?

Rudman · Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:05 pm Post subject:

Hope its not them 500 threadwear tyres again.

Mr. Fixables · Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:20 pm Post subject:

Same as last time.

500 treadwear
BF Goodrich
Touring T/A
at 43psi front and 37 psi rear

I definitely need some shocks and kumho victors to run down the mini.

lol! Agreed

Mr. Fixables · Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2008 10:36 am Post subject:

Well, here are the results.

3rd place Sad

I did not get a good run in any of the 4 runs. Even though I think I could have dropped another 1.5 seconds, it would not have improved my position any.

Damn!
And the Mini on Hoosiers didn't even run...... Question

(You know that would have been 4th place for you)

Dale didn't look like he was having a good day.

What can I say Kirk, the big leauge isn't for 500 treadwear tyres!
