TxMC rd. 3 @ Texas World Speedway!!!
 

It's coming up quick, Saturday April 30th at my favorite Tx. track TWS. We'll be running CCW which is the "normal" direction, although i haven't run that direction since last april. The last 2 times we ran TWS last year were both CW, so it's gonna take a few laps to get re-aquianted. I think the man (or machine) to look out for this round is gonna be zx-tex with his ls1 powered beast. He seems to have gotten the bugs worked out and the suspension sorted at msr-cresson. As a matter of fact he dropped more time on sunday (nasa tt) at cresson which put him within a tenth of last events winner. The question will be will he find the time when it counts on saturday? I will be trying a new bumper which might kill some speed on the front straight in exchange for mph in all the fast corners. Only issue will be if adding a gurney flap to my wing will be enough to balance the extra downforce up front. And will it slow me down too much on the frt. straight and hurt lap times instead of help? Hustler is getting faster every event. sixace, last years event winner set a fast pace, jeff_man's car, easily the fastest non v8 challenge car will be right there, especially if j-wags gets behind the wheel.
All the street class cars should be neck and neck at this track.

All in all, it should be one hell of a gunfight!

Btw, please sign-in with me sat. morning or even fri. evening. (i should be there by 6pm on fri.) i need to know who, what class, car# and if you have transponder/gps or not. I also have some of the new 2011 TxMC stickers for those that were waiting for white vinyl.

see you guys at the track!

Getting my car really, i know john will be putting down times in it. not sure what my driving status will be. i should get a manufacturer trophy like in F1.

I'm paid up and I'll see you bitches there. Daddy may bring the RV for super-party-time intoxication fun.

I will probably run TTA so I'll run 227whp.

what? ^^^^

you bastard ^^^ i wish i could turn my boost up!!!

Well, that's if I go I guess. It looks like I'm going on furlough until Capital Hill agrees on a budget so until then, maybe I won't make it.

bullshit, you better be there.

I'm building a diff for Jeff's miata at the moment and we're making small changes to the cooling system ducting. Planning on being there....

awesome! hey where has double 086 been? i heard rharris and friends have been building spec's, so i'd be surprised to see those guys.

We are building spec cars, but I still have my yellow N/A car. I would come to this one but the wife has a soccer tournament in San Antonio that weekend. I finally get the car tuned Tuesday and I am hoping for 165rwhp. Still need to weigh it too, but probably around 1930lbs. I'm excited.

i forgot about that. 165whp would be great in a car that lite. maybe you can bring it out to harris hill in june. that's gonna be our first solo event. plus i think they are gonna try and have some spec miata group also in case some of the guys cars are done. either way, we gotta see that beast!

Damnit... just when I was within 4 lbs. of yours.

Yeah this car weighs nothing. I have to be in Maryland from June 9-13 I think. When Is the race?

dammit, it's june 12th. we're never gonna see you again.

Son bitch. I make it out to open track days and will probably go to something at Harris Hill soon, but sucks that I can't go with you guys. I will post up my dyno and weight soon though if anything is interested. I have a full set of Longacre XL scales coming in that I am buying off some guy near me.

Just sadly lurking on all the forums. :sadwavey:

I've been domesticated. I have a 2½ year old daughter, and on Monday, my second daughter arrived. Now all my weekends are spent with my daughters.

The 0086 is still running, though. Maybe I can steal a Friday some month and attend an open track day at TWS. Who's with me?

i know kids are great, but you have to have a day for yourself once in a while to keep your sanity. for sure we'll be going to tws for some otd's.

i was wrong it's the 18th! yaaaaayyyyyyy......

Cool. I'm in

Scratch the motor home...daddy just had a coronary failure. Let the family fued begin.

But don't worry, I'll be there, lol.

^^^^^????? screw the motorhome, i hope he's okay if your serious. and call me evil but i'm glad your still going.

I'll be there for both days, I already paid. I'd like to cut it down to 1-day now that I'm paying for a hotel.

Yeah, Dad is pretty fucked-up right now. It's a long story, but not a surprise.

sorry to hear that man. corpus crew prays he has a speedy recovery.

on the motel, are you going alone? if so, i'm sure someone would be willing to go in on it with ya. at msr-c $40 covered both days per person. a couple friends took air matresses and everyone was comfy. i think i'm staying in a friends trailer at the track and jake's gonna be in his tent. speaking of jake that bastard just bought a brand new boss 302 stang. it's so sick. he's gonna be trying to dominate so bring your A game!!!!

oh, and i think a bunch of us are doing both days. it's really gonna help us time wise. seems like we're just getting re-aquainted with the track at the end of the first day, even if we've been there before. on the second day with the track still fresh in our minds and after watching saturday's videos and discussions on lines, etc., we should be able to drop more time. i think we should all be under the 2:00 barrier this time.

Cool and thanks. My GF may go now so I'm not sure what I'll do about sleepy time.

Jake sent me the pic last night but no matter what car he tracks he knows that I'm legit and he will never touch my genitals on the track again.

We'll all be well under.

I'm toying with the idea of putting on my new Trackspeed brake kit too.

not good to change major parts right before an event, plus tws in this direction is easy on brakes.

Yup, I'm with Spoolin. Leave it alone this direction is brake easy. Throw it on the weekend after TWS for street test/tune. Plus when you loose you can always think that you might have won with the brake kit. In for sharing a room with Trey and the GF for amateur vids.

Your anus will be loose when I'm done with it.

Would changing transmissions be considered a major parts change? :D

I am really getting stoked for this event, especially with the CCW direction. That is the direction I am used to from the CMRA days since that is the only direction they run. Plus T7 is soooo much fun CCW. Good thing I installed the Accusump.

Seven cars registered so far in TTS. This is going to be fun.

As of April 11th
4 cars registered in HPDE4

Wanting an update

Did you notice my sponsor?

Yes that is awesome. I am going to try to come up with something clever as well. I am thinking, American Association of Amateur Gynecology

Steve's Crematory

i'm gurney flapped. hope the balance isn't too far off, or too much drag.

Add boost.

never works right when i try to. prolly do 10 psi though. thats 215whp instead of 201whp.

I think I want to be sponsored by Old Spice.

Melvin's Man Massage

Are we there yet?

Just updated my NASA info to manhunt.net lol

Get ready for TTS. :giggle:

You guys have a good shot at TTA and TTB. On the other hand, TTS is another matter. I ONLY need to drop 11 seconds... Anyone want to buy my tires so I can get some 345 Hoosiers?

TTB record is going to fall next weekend. :)

Sure is :)

I guess I'll just shoot for a miata challenge best time.....

Your not running TT wags? When you register clubplug.net "spark plugs" is looking for a driver to sponsor :)

i may buy them, but i'll need to try them out for a session or 2 at the track first. you can run my nt-01's when i'm on yours. ;)

that's all i care about.

Who's competing in the modeling portion of TXMC?

Last night my GF asked if you would bring plastic so we could "play in the mud". lol

Believe me you do not want to borrow them. You WILL be hooked. Though I suspect you have had tried slicks before?

Of course I am comparing them to two-year-old well used NT-01s on 1" narrower wheels, but they do feel faster.

Finally registered didn't know if I was going to be able to make this one.

I'm happy about the warm-up since I've never been on this track and I plan on entering #1 at 120mph+.

Five sessions on both days. That is fantastic!

yaaaay!!!!!

that's it?........edited to play nice.

Lots of 15 min sessions though ftl. Hope the pacesetters don't crawl on the outlap or we are looking at 3-4 hot laps. More heat cycles into the tires too. I can't get enough heat into the tires on the outlap (well, it is better on the big tracks), so my first hotlap is a warm up, then a lap or two for traffic to spread out..

Oh well. It'll still be sick fun. Track is a blast. Wish they would do CW on Sat and CCW on Sun (or vice versa) as that would be twice the fun!

Hustler, 120mph into T1 is meh. 120mph into T2 is foshizzle though. Just grid up behind spoolin or zx-tex for the first session and all will be golden.

I have a healthy fear for that turn, a few others I plan to spend some time manning up on. I'm going to get my ass beaten like a bitch.

As it should. It's a weak record set by an old guy in a pos miata. Heck, the TTC record is faster, set by a Cobalt :laugh:
