can i do the course in reverse then at the end yell april fools?

[Sota]

:rofl:

You know, at the end of the day allowing people to try that might not be such a bad idea, given the date! :D

[Sota]

Ok. I'm trying this again.
I log in to my account.
I click on '- Event Calendar'
I change the club to 'MotorSportsNE - ...'
I see a calendar listing.
When I try and change to April, it dumps me back to March. *sigh*

If someone just wants to put me down then fine.

[Sota]

Oh and you do know that weather.com is saying rain. hopefully that'll get pushed.

[2MCHPWR]

1- log in.
2- change month to april.
3- click on "register for this event"
4- check your car.
5- hit register.
done deal. if you can't get it working, PM me your userID and password and i'll see what i can do. If i can replicate your issue, i'll email michael about it.

good thing i got new falken azenis 615's.
weather.com says rain.
accuweather says A shower possibleLow: 37 °FHigh: 64 °F.
if there is any precip at all, those EVO's and STi's will whip on me good.

in that case the autox at E-town looks more promising...then a quick ride up to AP afterwards...etc.

[htheduck]

based on a confirmation with john, it looks like sunday will be the target date for us to attend.
see you then!

any 4mation members wanna come out and cheer--> we'll be there!

[Sota]

if it rains I'm blaming you howard.

although, if it DOES rain I guess it could be good. I got mud on the underside of my car the other day :cry:
guess a good rain storm driving could help wash it off.

i would use the michelin pilots that day. make a few adjustments to air pressure and you're set to run only a few seconds slower than dry. :woot:

-don't worry i got my tools for the day

[2MCHPWR]

rain coming in at 5pm (i hope).
see ya then.

[Sota]

Switch wheels and tires over a little while ago. Now running Michelin Pilot Sport's with 40psi in them.

[Sota]

howard...

I'm planning on bringing my digicam, a cooler with some drinks and a Subway's sammich, my helmet and ME :D Anything else I absolutely need?

portable seating, mini air compressor, tire gauge, shoe polish, electrical tape, zip ties
-that's all that i can think of.

[2MCHPWR]

not going today guys.
its already drizzling here and I have my race tires on. not gonna switch to streets. too dangerous to drive with the racing tires. 410 rwtq is no fun in the rain regardless of tire :)

[Sota]

I was there with Howard. He seemed to be cutting some decent times out there. Loved that one 3/4 slide at the top of the track. :D I left after his 1st round of driving but at that point he'd only murdered 1 cone. :rofl:

On a more disappointing note I was LOCKED OUT of driving as they limited it to online registration peeps only... even though a bunch of such peoples did NOT show up. Not cool IMHO, especially since their registration site sucks and even now refuses to let me add a car to "My Garage" so I can try and reserve a spot for the upcoming days.

[htheduck]

john,
thanks again for coming out & sandwich. i'll get you next time at AP.

i'm sorry about the lockout, it usually doesn't happen at most clubs i drive. but then again, i've only driven with M northeast this once. we should seek out scott's input-as he is a member.

i actually left before my last two runs, and packed up and stopped by central ave. on my way home - and got a chance to catchup with amy and chris.

Here's the pics and video howard...

vid is raw, so if anyone has comments about initial camera stability you can kiss my :asshat:... I was working mine and howard's cameras at the same time. :D

Edit: the middle picture was taken just as Howard went into that sweet ass slide. :D I was kicking myself wishing I'd had my good film camera rig. I woulda caught a great sequence of stills.

[htheduck]

Thanks John:

the slide would have been great to catch on tape as i need to continue to hone my skills.

It was a cold but great day to learn these tires since I got them in December. I left before my last two runs of the day-where I could have perhaps lowered my time, but I had fun.

As long as I was faster than the 350Z dude that made fun of the Neah? I'm happy. (He had 3x "off courses" that I called in).
-->And I was: Tommy Grupman Nissan 350Z 42.393
