midnight mtn run last night...

[speedminded]

Who all from IA went? No video, no pictures, no cops...just 15+ cars took off to the mountains last night at 11pm. The leader was rockin slicks on a light ass bimmer while i had sticky competition 215's in the front and 205's street tires in the rear = crazy fwd oversteer. Then of course there was a certain miata that was at full lock through half the turns :tongue:

Alot of shit talking, few people went home with their tail between their legs, and luckily only 1 incident that I know of...S14 lost it in one of the worst curves on Hwy. 180 (couple turns before the hairpin going towards 129 (yeah the one where you can see the road below well over 100' down) Spun and tapped the inside wall with the rear 1/4 and kept going with a bimmer hot on his tail narrowly missing pushing him off :eek: I came around the turn behind them to see two sets of skid marks, smoke, and i instantly starting counting cars hoping there was still 4 infront of me :)

Good times, hope everyone else made it down in one piece...

[Stormhammer]

[green91]

hell yea, ive got 1.6 swap, custom turbo kit, full suspension, wheels/tires, etc.. i'd definately like to meet some more mtn locals.

[BLAKOUTD]

i gotta find some more people. u think u can gather up some people?
all the people i know have mustangs and shiet. now i just gotta find a place u know of a place?

[green91]

depends on what time it would be i guess.. daytime we could possibly meet at vogel.. later on im not sure unless u wanted to meet in dahlonega or something. my family owns a small store and we could use the parking lot as long as everyone isnt being stupid.

[BLAKOUTD]

yeah alot of dumbass kid down her just rev all the time. i've never seen them do burnouts or nothin. but if they do well just jump them dont worry. there is not that many imports down here nothin but muscle but i got a couple of friends wit some fast rides. i will be fast one day. where is ur familys restaurant?
and where is vogel?

[green91]

its actually a store and restaurant in one building in dahlonega.. vogel state park is off hwy 129.

[BLAKOUTD]

is the parking lot pretty big?

[green91]

its not huge but it can easily hold 10-15 cars. plus the law wont mess with us there because my family owns it.. as long as everyone isnt retarted when they leave lol

[BLAKOUTD]

how many people u know?

[redlinenprelude]

wow at night??

[BLAKOUTD]

[green91]

i know a couple of locals that would likely come.

[srt4]

i almost ran my shit off the side with 3 others with me

[collins]

that sir, is because its a neon. lol not hatin, i just dont think its what the car was built for. but as long as you had fun, thats the main thing. i'll join on the next one if my car stops breaking! lol

[kittyspeed]

i almost ran my shit off the side with 3 others with me
Yeah but that wasn't your fault! You handled it very well considering your brakes and stering was going out. And that certain person who bright lighted you and then desides to pass and drift right in frount of you (you know who you are asshole:2up: Thanks man!) besides that it was pretty fun. But next time we all need to take 985 N to get there it's about an hour faster for every one.

[speedminded]

[kittyspeed]

"bright lighting in front of you" :thinking:
LOL oops behind us then pass us and drifted right in frount us.

[speedminded]

LOL oops behind us then pass us and drifted right in frount us....normally you yield to the faster drivers, especially if they're buried up your ass like Peter North. I moved over a few times to wave a car by because i wasn't exactly comfortable with my tire setup and wasn't going to risk anything and certainly not with a passenger :2cents:

I know. I was the passenger.

[morelian09]

the mountain was fun. but it could have been better if they hadn't changed the plans at the last minute and didn't bother to tell anyone. me and diego were ridding by ourself for a while untill we met up with bruce, (thats fucked up). the eg handled pretty good for a front wheel drive untile my brakes went out so i had to slow it down (i was close moe). oh and about the srt4 that shit fucken moves on the mountain we've been to the mountain with him before and he kills that shit, but his car was acting up real bad thoe

If I had a more predictable tire setup I would have been sliding side by side with the green miata and 1st red bimmer ;)

[srt4]

i was only at 9 psi with 4 people and my car was overheating that really slowed me down and believe me next time i will be ready

[BLAKOUTD]

possom so i dont get a thank u? hahah and for the rest of u fucker i could slaughter each and everyone of u guys on the mtn. anyday muahahaha evil!!! i tell ya

[srt4]

thats why u spun out trying to keep up with me :2up:

[BLAKOUTD]

fuck u it wasn't my fault ass munch ahahaha i just didnt want to mess up my new tires

[BLAKOUTD]

there was dirt on the road

[Allmota]

I WAS THERE it was awsome and im trying to go more often. some of thoes roads are crazy!!!!! fun as shit tho!

[Allmota]

i was only at 9 psi with 4 people and my car was overheating that really slowed me down and believe me next time i will be ready

why dont you turn the boost back up too 23 pounds:doh: ! why were you running that much in the mountains anyways? thats pretty fucking stupid if you ask me.

[Allmota]

well im pretty sure everyone else will be ready too. why dont we set up some runs next time to see.

[BLAKOUTD]

how do u think spec v handles on the mtns? i think i saw in a magazine that there were up there wit the evos and stis

[IronEagle]

I would guess very well with the LSD and tuned handling by NISMO.

[morelian09]

hahaha thank you bruce lol. and yea i know the srt4 handles good it might have understear and all, but brandon can fucking drive that shit good. and i fixed the brakes so next time i'll be ready to keep up with the best or atleast stay with the pack

[{X}Echo419]

That doesn't sound like that was a smart thing to do.


Sounds like it was exciting.

usually go together

[speedminded]

Ahh, you didnt see what i saw.

Srt4 understeer was in full effect.

[speedminded]

Ahh, you didnt see what i saw.

Srt4 understeer was in full effect.No use in repeating it, just have to video the next run...we all know a stock suspension srt-4 will plow through turns, even with a great driver hammering the throttle with perfect timing.

off. just ask mike and thomas.

no need to ask them, i got behind him at the bottom before they all went straight at Turner's corner.

[Jehu]

They handle quite nicely. I had one with me the time I went last year (October I think?).

There's a bunch of S2K's and Preludes going up to the tail April 21-23.

I wouldn't mind doing one of these runs though. Someone needs to give me a heads up! I'll have my Azenis on after this weekend! ;)
