Official Track DAY Meet!

[bigdare23]

Ok guys! Let's finally get a track day going. This will be held at Atlanta Dragway (Commerce, GA) and will be either August 1st, or 8th (both are fridays because of test and tune days). I'm aiming more toward the 8th. If you're down post up. Since most people work on fridays, I doubt there would be an official caravan to this meet (unless you want one), so get on the road as early as possible so you wont spend you're day in traffic LOL.

BOOOO. Make it a track day at Little Talladega

[bigdare23]

Hey, you got the mountain run to test out your suspension!

[Papa_Smurf]

track day @ Talladega would be SICK.

dare, how much is it to run on a friday? when does it open/close? do you have to have an up to date helmet?

[LIKEG6]

are they open sundays?

[StraightSix]

Looking at the schedule the only Sundays that Commerce is open is when there is a national event going on. The only times people can run his/her street cars are on the Friday Test and Tune nights.

[LIKEG6]

ok well I'll try to make it

I have never ran at commerce jus montgomery and reynolds

[jfrolang]

My experience with drag strips is that they run till midnight or 1am a lot of the times, but I have no specific experience at Commerce. Alan, you're not fast enough to worry about a helmet.

haha i figured that much. but just for reference, wut is it? like 11.99 and quicker?

[jfrolang]

13.99 or faster requires a helmet.

11.49 or faster requires a roll bar. (13.49 for convertibles)

At 9.99 or 135mph you need a full cage.

[uproot]

this sounds awesome

just wondering... what if you dont know what you run? do they let you do a prelim. to find out? (for situations when you dont have a helmet etc)

[jfrolang]

The tech inspectors have a good eye for estimating. If it turns out you need a helmet, you can usually rent one there. If you unexpectedly break into the 13s on one of your runs, they'll just ask you to wear a helmet on subsequent runs. Or maybe not, Test & Tune days are fairly laid back.

[uproot]

cool, thats good to know, just to know lol, i dont know where you are or what you've been up to but are you plannin on goin to this jfro? are you even around? lol

[jfrolang]

I am 2200 miles away.

[AnTi-PooN]

[AnTi-PooN]

+1. would be pretty cheap to do...

Hey, you got the mountain run to test out your suspension!

nope, that is what the PDX at Nashville is for

[StraightSix]

I think the admission for the T & T nights is only like $20. So, not too bad for a prepped track and as many runs as you can get. Check Atlanta Dragway's web site for more info.

Oh, and if you want a pretty fair amount of track time for your DE dollar, NASA will be at Rockingham toward the end of Spetember. It's a simple, fun, short road course that uses three of the four banked turns.

Yeah, its $10 bucks just to get in and $10 more if you want to run. I got there one friday last year when the gates opened, and there was a slight chance of rain in the forecast. Fortunatly it never did and I got near 20 runs in, i never sat in the staging lanes for more than 10mins. If the civic is still in one piece by this date, ill be there

[AnTi-PooN]

tire regulations???? kill switch????

[slow_hatch]

tire regulations???? kill switch????

If your battery is relocated, then Yes. Make sure it is mounted properly & not sliding around, and you have an external kill switch w/ a lable. However, they let me slide on the kill switch the first time I went, but just told me next time to have one or I couldn't run. They kept my name on file aswell so I couldn't slip through agian

[AnTi-PooN]

how do you make one?

[slow_hatch]

how do you make one?

Make one, what??

[LIKEG6]

killswitch, I guess

[StraightSix]

how do you make one?

It's really pretty straight forward. You'll need to buy a switch from a racing supply company, then wire into the circuit with the battery.

But, if your battery is in the stock location, you won't need a killswitch.

[LIKEG6]

I don't have a kill switch and my battery is in the back

Silver dollar had never said anything

[Riceboy891]

Yeah buddy, ive got a brand new Garrett T3 Super 60 sittin in the passenger seat waiting on the money for just a few more parts.

[Papa_Smurf]

no fair.

i think i'm about to buy sum cams for the ZC. right when i was about to take the title for EF Squad's quickest ZC, you have to steal my glory! haha

you're holding onto that top stop tight bro!

[jfrolang]

BTLFED has a turbo ZC with nitrous, so I think he has held the claim for quickest ZC for some time.

[sakasaku]
