The official track thread.

Speaking of GTR: Adam, heads up on a local silver 2001 NSX (still has popup headlights) that has a comptech SC (reliable even Acura would install them at the dealership, not a liability mod). I don't know his asking price yet but I'm sure if you test drove it then you would be impressed.

So I should be finishing up school in May, then start working. Hopefully, this will be opening up funds for me to do some HPDE's this year. I really want to schedule one that we can all get together and get some track time for a weekend.

[itrsteez]

I have never once tracked with anybody on here. Blu has flagged a few events I've been at, have seen his car but never met him and McRabb was running the patriot course while I was running full course once in 2010. I would be down to catch an event with everyone if the stars aligned.

It was a failed attempt last time we tried to organize anything, but I still say we do it. If I can have a date picked out a few months in advance, it'll really keep me motivated. My body is ready.

[itrsteez]

Going to get a real late start this year compared to normal but I will be doing the VIR Full event with Trackdaze on May 5-6th as my first event if anybody was interested in that.

What was the site that you guys use for safety equipment? I looked back, but couldn't find where we were talking about it/helmets.

[itrsteez]

I appreciate it guys. Finally started my new job and thus, started making money again, so I need to decide on who I want to run with for my first event at CMP.

April 6th is one of those... it has to be around one of the TurnOne dates so the 6th and 27th are your only options... I'll be there with a few friends, feel free to join along.

Not yet, it's a word of mouth thing right now but when it does i'll let you know. It's a great looking car in person, sounds awesome too.

Steve, you doing the single day or both?

[itrsteez]

Just that Friday

Alright. Another question... Would having a plug in my rear tire cause me to fail the tech inspection?

THey won't examine your tires that closely. That falls under you deserve what you have coming to you category. I would be a little weary going out with a plug in my tire but I'm a super paranoid kind of guy. I'm sure you wouldn't be the first to do it.

I thought the same thing, although the plug is on the outer corner of the tire and clearly visable to anyone that glances at the wheel/tire. I'd feel a lot better if I had a new tire, but I don't know about just having one new tire... I'm planning on picking up wheels/tires in the next month or two, but wanted to at least take the civic out one time in stock trim.

^ with him.

Those items really boil down to a personal responsibility thing and not what you think you can get away with, ya know?

Do I think you would be fine? yeah, would I want to find out for myself? no.
