IA Christmas Mountain Run

[green91]

mountain road doesnt = experience, driving time behind the wheel does. and many years of mountain driving is alot different than 85.

[matthewAPM]

[Thighs]

that would be hilarious too. im gonna invite him unless you REALLY dont want me to...

[matthewAPM]

DONT. he will say stupid **** and everyone will want to cave his head in. he is a **** idiot. no way he can go.

[mushroom_toy]

Dont rag on chris (green91). He is smarter than just about all of us, and he can drive./End.

[Thighs]

it will be SOOOO FUNNYYY though. oh well...

[foety_foe]

Dont rag on chris (green91). He is smarter than just about all of us, and he can drive./End.

who ****ing cares if he is smarter (are we in second grade), who ****ing cares if a NOOB tries to get a mtn run together. kinda makes me mad that people on here rag on people new to IA. if new people never got on IA what would IA be?

but anyways, iam looking foward to the mtn. run and meeting people from IA. iam somewhat new to GA, from germany, so hope to see everybody there on sunday.

[matthewAPM]

germany? dang man that really cool. so i got to ask, have u ran on the ring?

[foety_foe]

germany? dang man that really cool. so i got to ask, have u ran on the ring?

haha, no i have not. i wish. but when i used to live in munich my dads best friend was one of the test drivers for BMW and has ran it many times. i have ran the munich to passau route many times though. lol.

dude 1:43's? thats sick. on new or old surface?

I'd love to go, although I may have work that sunday..my bad for missing that, i'm going to try to get out of it

Those times are on the new surface which buys you about 1 sec, give or take a few tenths which i'm sure you are aware of. It was with RA1's on the 120k M3 daily driver M3 with shock/springs/pads only hah. I plan to get some solid times and hopefully low 1:40's when I go back with a Hot Lap thats not borowed and some actual mods as the stock car has pushed to hell in back in all different ways

[matthewAPM]

i hope u can make it. i would like to talk to u more about RA.

im very aware of the pavement change. alittle better in the rain. lol.

thats not a bad time tho. i ran someones ITS bmw in practice and got into the 1:43's. (old hoosiers). wht year was the BMW? im geussing E36? do u do HPDE's or what?

[matthewAPM]

haha, no i have not. i wish. but when i used to live in munich my dads best friend was one of the test drivers for BMW and has ran it many times. i have ran the munich to passau route many times though. lol.

badass man. ive always wanted to go to germany

[wannab20hatch]

there is to be NO passing, crossing double yellow, tailgating, and any other b.s. that can get us in trouble.

Hope to see you there!

thats an oxymoron. first off things are fine until you hit the mtn and then someone ****s it up. And 9/10 times before you even get out of dahlonega you get stopped. thats to many cars. cops will be all over this. but good luck none the less

[matthewAPM]

who cares if its that many cars? we will be so spread out it wont matter. look at the mazda meet. there is like 100+cars or something that go on that run. as long as no one is doing anything stupid (which i hope no one does) then there are no worries.

unfortunately there is always "that guy" so someone will do something stupid. the best to hope for is that no one follows his lead

whats illegal about a trip to the mountains?

Not bad. I'll try hoosiers eventually as I had always run street tires until the end of last year when I was forced to get them to be like everyone else in my run groups lol. Time seems solid for a practice run but if I remember right ITS cars can have cams etc etc? correct? I forgot where they stand with times (high 1:30's low 1:40's maybe). I have helped out alot and gone to some IP races and they run those sick 1:36-1:38's. My car is 98, with a strong motor. I do HPDE's with N.A.S.A, A.C.N.A, BMW C.C.A and P.C. I try to to as many as I can afford but its hard as a student. I dont have my racers liscense....yet, but I should have it around summer time. My time is more of what I have hit, not of a consistant time as we both know getting that consistancy in a D.E is just about impossible with traffic.

Anyhow. I'd love to see a list of who is actually confirmed and what type of car they are driving. That'd be good. I know 20 cars said they'd be into doing it but I know that many won't show.

[mushroom_toy]

Well I am going to be there and Ill be in my beater/daily driver. My 86 Honda Accord Lx-i.

The hoosiers are fast but if u ask me the kumhos are better. they have a little more feel to them, but seem to fall off faster than the hoosiers. for a trackday, i would run a kumho b.c A. there cheaper and B. u will have traffic giving u time to cool the tires.

Im not sure on the rules of ITS. i dont own one so i couldnt tell ya but i can look them up. (got to find my rule book first). the track record for a ITS car is somewhere in the 1:39's if im not mistaken. i know the SM record is in the 1:42s. ur time is really fast for a street car but if it were ur detecated track car, i bet u could drop a second or more.

have u ever tried a PDX with the SCCA? the events are great. if u have ur autocross license then it is free if u work that weekend and $100 if u dont. Ive run a few HPDE's but i dont seem to like them as much as PDX's. the organzation at the events is amazing.

who are u getting ur license under, FIA, SCCA, NASA etc.? i know there is a SCCA school down at RR in febuary and it only cost $800 and u get ur license in one weekend! wht do u plan on racing?

about the cars for the mtn run, CAN EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK IN! just put ur name and car in a post to confirm....matthewAPM (civic si)
