also, according to site, racing starts from 12-6, not 3 to 6 :bertstare:

LOL. Still had to look it up but yeah I get the reference now. If people are gonna be running all day/night, and I get done in Easton within a reasonable time frame, I'll drop by and say hello with the daily. Thought about taking the GTA but we're taking a diff down, and other parts, and I want the radio working dammit. Of course there could be a last second change. But I'm feeling a little lazy with a messed up shoulder.

Jersey Mike 09-27-2015 11:24 AM

I'm here now. As is Creeper. Just spotted Dave (IrocZMan15)

ThoR294 09-27-2015 11:51 AM

Leaving soon. Left helmet at home. Oops

The_Bishop 09-27-2015 11:57 AM

Be there soon. Getting off to a slow start today, work was a bit busy last night.

Jersey Mike 09-27-2015 12:10 PM

Most of you have my number, but for those who don't come and say hi! If you're looking for me, I'll probably be next to the obscenely-tall dutch guy. :rofl:

ThoR294 09-27-2015 01:53 PM

There's a slip.

L695speed 09-27-2015 06:51 PM

Tried to stop by, by the time I got there, it was empty. Literally empty. Got there a lil before 7. But I was gonna ask if I could see if you guys were there before I did anything. Didn't have to. And LMAO at the slip Bishop.

Jersey Mike 09-27-2015 08:59 PM

I snagged a few pictures earlier in the day. But Jake & a few others got the "end of the day" shots. Post your pics!

Link to the couple of pics I took. If someone has the time to embed them, that'd be great!

Next time, I will pass tech.

Nice meeting you guys yesterday. Looking forward to hanging at the next meet.

Nice turn out, and it was a beautiful day out. I didn't get back from camping in time, I was burnt out!

IROCZman15 09-29-2015 04:11 PM

I took some photos throughout the day. almost all of them were with my old Iphone 4, so the quality is not that great. The group shots at the end were with a better quality Nikon camera, but the sunlight was just awful at that time of day. I know that bishop, creeper, and a few other club members were on hand and had their cars there too, earlier, but I wasn't able to get over to that lawn area and grab photos at that time...

Photos are in this album, but I will post a few of them here as images

I had a good time at the event for sure, but ran like crap. Aside from not having run this car on any track in about 8 years, and being worn out from working steady nightshifts for 2 months in a row.. my head was not focused. I was missing shift points, bad reaction times, etc. Also wanted to go a little easy as to not break the 10 bolt. Was running street tires (nitto 555). My rear suspension setup felt pretty well setup and I only spun once out of the hole as far as I could tell. My e.t. times were about a fully second slower than I had expected N/A and also a full second slower than I expected with the nitrous 100 shot. I'll post slips later, I'm at work now and only uploaded photos of the event last night, didnt take any of the slips. Theres a medium sized list of issues that I plan on straightening out over the winter (MSD6AL box, blaster coil, higher volume fuel pump, learning to really smartly read spark plugs, exernal transmission cooler, possibly bigger injectors, nitrous bottle heater, etc) but I plan on getting back out to Island at least once more before it is closed for the winter hand hope to hit a number I can be happy with.


also, if anyone took any photos or videos of me running or burnouts or anything, please either post them here or email them to me directly. martin.dave3@gmail.com

thanks.
