Boobash - MAM

[voidths]

Next Saturday, Oct 27th is the Boobash at MAM. Drivers meeting is at 9am.

Any of you street racers gonna actually go to a real track and get off the street? Last year was a blast and this year should be just as good. Plenty of track time and the pirce isn't too bad for a full day of road course action.

Check out MAM's website (http://midamericamotorplex.com) for the details. Hope to see some of you out there and off the streets :)

[SanSational]

This is an open event, right?

[voidths]

Yep, open to all. :thumbsup:

[ej8mando]

looks like it would b fun

[blacksheep]

Well, I don't think you can just drive on the track without prior experience - there are other cars on the track, some going pretty fast esp. Tim. I would suggest you n00bs go out there (if you are not drunk, working or have some other lame excuse like claiming to have no gas money coz you are texting too fuckin much) and go ride with someone like Tim (voidthis) and experience some road racing. Some of you may be actually motivated to do it, perhaps!

[2point]

we've had this discussion before on this board... .

Open track days at MAM / FTL events are a bit over the top for a NOOB.

Don't let that scare you though. There are things you can do to lessen the fear and highten the experience

1.) make sure your car is in good working order among other things.. .
2.) make sure your brakes are good
3.) Make sure your tires are good
4.) Take a ride around the track first, for a whole session with a guy that knows the ropes
5.) Have the same guy or another experienced dude ride with you and coach you.. .

Typically though, it's better off that you get prior HPDE instruction before hitting an open track day. This is safer for you and the other guys on the track.

Have fun and take some pictures:thumbsup:

[voidths]

I'll get pics and video. This time I'll make sure the video camera is in a better spot. Maybe on the outside of the car right behind the front tire :)

[voidths]

If you guys that have never driven a road course want to come out, I'd be more than happy to give rides. Some of my fastest times were when people were riding with me. If you show up, just hit me up and ask. :thumbsup:

[SanSational]

Sweet.

[2point]

Very nice! Side mount camera shots are cool!

[CaseBone]

If my hand is brokes I am going since then I wont have to work! :eek:

[voidths]

If my hand is brokes I am going since then I wont have to work! :eek:Ouch, that's not good, but cool you are going. Hit me up if you do go. You can do a ride along. Just look for the Grey Evo next to the truck and trailer. :thumbsup:

[blacksheep]

Ouch, that's not good, but cool you are going. Hit me up if you do go. You can do a ride along. Just look for the Grey Evo next to the truck and trailer. :thumbsup:

Tim - CaseBone and I will be there if his hand is broke (damn teenagers and their jerking off ...LOL) I have told him he needs to ride in your Eb-oh so he know how infinitely superior a Mitsu is to the Hondizzle :tongue:

[voidths]

Hahah, cool, no problem. I think I should be able to give a good "e-ticket" ride LOL

Of course, I still like to call it an "E" vo :)

[2point]

ohhh mannnnnn! I just sold my roll cage and I really want to go to this BUT! I still can't. I HAVE TO help my g/f move out of her crappy rented house and into an Apt.

:hithead: She'd prolly dump me if I told her I was going to the race track instead:spoiled:

[SanSational]

She'd prolly dump me if I told her I was going to the race track instead:spoiled:

You should test that theory out :thumbsup:

[2point]

You should test that theory out :thumbsup:

trust me, I've thought about it more than a few times:hithead:

[voidths]

Reason number 463 why I'm divorced :cheers:

[CaseBone]

Good news...its broke! :teeth::neutral::sad::spoiled: I dont know what to think...

[blacksheep]

Hahah, cool, no problem. I think I should be able to give a good "e-ticket" ride LOL

Of course, I still like to call it an "E" vo :)

you cracka, of course you do! :teeth::roflmao:

[blacksheep]

Reason number 463 why I'm divorced :cheers:

me and you both, buddy! Well, mine isnt final till December! :puke:

[2point]

you guys crack me up!

But yeah, I'm definitely not going though :sad: Next year will be really fun though.

[voidths]

Next year is always fun :)

...I'll tear it up for ya and get lots of pics and video :thumbsup:

[voidths]

Fun time today. Sorry I didn't have time to give everyone a ride, but I think I went out 8 times and had a passenger each time :)

I'll have video and pics soon.

[CaseBone]

Yes...this was extremely fun...I was jumping out of my pants.

Thanks for breaking me in Tim! I will contribute with some pics of my own as well. :teeth:

[blacksheep]

I have some pics as well - it was a fun time! :thumbsup:

[voidths]

Unfortunately my bullet cam died so I had to take normal video which mean no traqmate data integrated into it yet.

Here's a video of me and Joe (in the M3):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiGJIBGWeEU

[2point]

what kind of lap times were you guys puttin down?

Was Joe practicing some drifting so he could get it on video?

[voidths]

Heh, No, not trying to drift, we both ran out of gas 2 laps after this video was shot, and it was very cold. My tires never got above 170. My best times were only 1.45's. I think the cold weather and the meds I'm on hurt a little, but we were movin' out there for sure.

[2point]

coo coo

Yeah, I can tell too that the toyos don't like the cold much. Less grip for sure.

Get over that illness already magn! Take care of yourself.

I wish I was runnin 1:45s.. . next year :thumbsup:

[voidths]

Thanks...YeaI gotta get back into the low 40's again or lower. I'm goin' back to the Victoracers for next year.

[2point]

Coo. I don't blame you. Once you have the grip it's tough to be satisfied with something not as grippy. I'll be stuck on 225 toyos for all of next year I think. If I find a good deal on maybe some 225/50 Advans, I might try those too though.. .

Oh I think our gameplan or idea is pretty solid!

[erok]

So there were no slow hondas there? :neutral:

You would have to be pretty quick to hang with that crowd :smile:

Well, there was one blue del sol - It wasnt moving very quickly! :smile:

[voidths]

We're not that fast, unless you count lapping a car twice in a 15 minute session as fast :)

Nice pics, KC :thumbsup:

[blacksheep]

Those pics were by lil Casey also known as "Jake" to some....:smile: Mine are in my camera, still! :sad:

[2point]

wow! Some nice cars!

Did that Blue Del Sol have numbers on it and setup for racing with a cage?

[CaseBone]

I did get video of the del slo getting walked by every car hahaha

Thanks Tim, once again it was an honor riding along with you! :thumbsup:

KC...wtf are you talking about...Jake?!

[CaseBone]

wow! Some nice cars!

Yeah from the looks of it the deli was track prepped...:neutral:

[blacksheep]

KC...wtf are you talking about...Jake?!

[CaseBone]

[blacksheep]

Joe was getting all jiggy that time at 13 and 14 - well, all the time, I guess! :teeth:

Wish we had better footage of that noble. That BOV on the twin turbo motor was teh sex - it was like POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOV! Casey knows what I mean, I kept making that sound all day long....pure unadulterated noise of sexness!

[voidths]

Here's a traqmate screen shot of one of the laps. It's cool, on the upper right track map you can see the shift spots marked in black. Cool stuff.

(Ignore the track name, I forgot to change it from Gingerman to MAM)

http://www.trashproductions.com/pics/mam_traqmate.jpg

[2point]

Yeah from the looks of it the deli was track prepped...:neutral:

Ha yeah, I think that guy is competing in Midwest Honda Challenge H1. I saw some of his times from his first race at MAM.. . 1:55s or something:spoiled: I hope that's on street tires.

He's got a long way to go.. . My car is H1 legal(- safety equip) and I can run 1:47s consistently now and I've been told I need to be another 3 seconds faster (1:44s) to be at national H1 speeds.. . 3-4 seconds faster than what a Spec Miata can pull for consistent lap times at most any course.

It would have been cool to chat with him though. Maybe next time.

[erok]

What the hell does the sol have a n/a b16 or somthing?

[CaseBone]

What the hell does the sol have a n/a b16 or somthing?

From the looks of it a single!

[2point]

From the looks of it a single!

well.. . I doubt a single.. . H1 cars usually run nothing lower than a B16 but there was one guy this year that tried a SUPER D17. I doubt the Del Sol can make the min weight with a B16 though.. . That will hurt laptimes but in all respect, its got a TON to do with the driver. I think he just got into racing over the last year or so.

I went from a best laptime of 1:55 on street tires to 1:53 on R comps on my next session to 1:49s and then to 1:46 as a personal best. I attribute the 1:46 to just getting more experience out there, my RA1s getting to a faster wear point and mostly to my car being able to turn better with an added rear sway bar. If the car is built to the max rules of H1 with the B16, he should be able to pull just as good, if not better lap times as I.

A Del Sol with B16 needs to be at 2100lbs with Driver to be at min weight
with B18/B20 = 2250, K20/H = 2400, K24 = 2450

[CaseBone]

You may be right but all I know is that it was kind of funny watchin him go down the straights.

[2point]

I found some posts I remember him in on another Forum (NASA) and I guess he's clocked some 1:49s in HPDE and only 1:52s & 3s in race. Not bad but definitely not where he needs to be for an H1 car.. .

He's at 2340lbs with driver and he didn't mention what motor setup he's running but it is an H1 car. He's even heavy for a B18/20 setup so I'm not sure how he's goin about things. He prolly just needs to invest in a BIGGER HAMMER and some Carbon Products.

If he has a B16 and lost 200lbs somehow, he could be 1:44-46 range pretty easy I think.

I know for a fact my car could loose 150lbs. But I'm not goin that route quite yet:tongue:

[voidths]

Here's another video. It mostly shows the others on track.

Part 2 = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlrEyv-JjhM

[2point]

Has Brian, with the STi, upgraded anymore power or suspension this year?
He looked fast in a straight line in that vid compared to your speed.

Looks like he's still rockin those cheapy 235 RA1 takeoffs from a pic I see too.

I C Justin made it out there with his Modded Sti as well (front mount Intercooler). How was that runnin?

[voidths]

That was Justin ahead of me in the video. The only time I saw Brian was when I passed him, and then another time I let him by when I was on my cool-down lap. He doesn't talk to me much, maybe he's mad I'm so fast :)

Justin's STi had a melted oil overflow line on the catch can, and very high egt's so he ran 110 octane to keep from knocking, that's why he was pulling some on me in the straight.

[blacksheep]

Brian has coilovers now, thats about it. No power mods etc. Brian is an exceptionally smooth driver and I love ride alongs with him. He is also an instructor now for the BMW club of Iowa now which goes to show he is pretty damned good, ya know?

Yep, he is rawking those speed challenge knock-offs, but who wouldnt - they are a great deal! :thumbsup:

Justin was there - his STi was overheating he said - dumped race gas in it to calm her down a bit, he made 4 or 5 runs, I would say!

[blacksheep]

damn Tim - sniped my post there!

[voidths]

It's weird, I never get an email notification that a post has been made or PM. This is the only forum that it doesn't work. Does that happen to everyone?

[2point]

cool

Blacksheep,
Yep, I know Brian, and yes I agree he is a good driver.. . I wasn't knocking him at all. If I do a BMW club event next year I'll try to request him. I'd rather have a skinny hot chic but he'll do fine :cheers:

Tim, Brian is pretty competitive so yeah, he might be mad at ya :toothless

Sorry to hear about Justin's Ride. I'll have to give him a ring. Seems like he never should have started upgrading power on that thing.. . One problem after another.

Sucks that I couldn't be there :hithead: That white porsche guy was there that I had an incident with last year at this same very time.. . He probably wouldn't have been to happy to see me. Prolly would have tried to run me off the road if he could catch me this time :teeth:

[voidths]

It was fun and everyone was very safe out there. A lot of slower drivers, but that's cool to see them out there getting experience.

I'm already ready for next season...It's gonna be a long winter.

[blacksheep]

cool

Oh, no - I didnt think you were knocking Brian at all, man. I was just stating my thoughts and opinions.

Yeah, that porsche dude was there and was as loud as ever - tons of porsches there this time. Hopefully, my pinto will be up and running for next year! :teeth:

[SanSational]

The option for that might be off. We'll have to have Han check into it. Which sucks because he owns this site yet is so inactive on it. :eek: (Just kidding Han!)

[Bowers]

Are you talking about Tim's Del Sol?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/tunergsr32/TimOslow.jpg

[CaseBone]

That looks like the sol that was there...it had a net in the window tho but Im sure it was him...

[Bowers]

Yep that would be Tim, his motor setup is pretty much the same as mine only he runs bigger cams.

B18b1
Crower 404's (I use the 403's)
Crower springs.
Crower retainers.
Not sure what header he's running now.
'99 EM1 tranny w/ 4.40FD
No PS, looped to a manual rack.

Has he weighed that car/setup yet??

[Bowers]

He has...I'll have to gime him a call and ask him the weight...I don't remember what it was, not much lol

[gabebauman]

Wow Tim...you're trailoring the EVO now...high roller. I hope to join you fellas at least once at MAM next season. DMVR is trying to put a track day together for next season at MAM I believe.

[voidths]

Yea, figured might as well. I got sick of swapping tires and brakes before and after every event. I did almost a dozen events this season so it's paid for itself by making life at the track so much easier. Wake up, load it on the trailer, drive to track, unload and go. End of the day, load it back on and away I go :)

Priceless!

That would be cool to get you out there and having DMVR would rock!

[WHOMIKEJOBES]
