dave I'll try to roll with you up there.. if ya want..

Smokestack · « **Reply #5 on:** July 22, 2010, 08:21:01 AM »

Not sure if I have the dough for it this year. Each time I go I seem to drop over $50 before I even get inside.

If I go more than likely I'll be a spectator.

Storx · « **Reply #6 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:16:30 PM »

maybe if the TT isnt PMSin all roll the TT down the track to see how the 2.2L turns in the 1/4 at this elevation with very little tuning so far..

14 buck GA is super high.. but it is fun

greggearhead · « **Reply #8 on:** July 23, 2010, 08:41:36 AM »

I'm gonna try and make it- not sure if I will Swap or just walk around.

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2010, 10:13:26 AM »

show the audi or the panel?

mikeminnillo · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:07:36 PM »

Wish I could go. Another tdy is preventing it, though.

Eh, Prolly just hang out in the swap area, or drive up to spectate. The Audi ain't worth showin. Unless I can get it a bit lower by then, maybe. Maybe.

Panel is sold (verbal commitment) to someone you know....

holy cow!!! well... is it sold before buses at the brew?

mjohnson · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2010, 01:00:33 PM »

Oh yeah. Got the car back from Gabe the other night. Yesterday I installed the 1st gear switch (works pretty slick I might add). Today I scouted out bandimere and got a partial low down (never been there before). Also put the car on a diet today. Lost 179lbs. Take that "Biggest Loser".

Now if I would just be able to perfect my launching and shifting (ability/timing)...

mjohnson · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2010, 01:07:07 PM »

It'd be cool to have a nice 719 showing and then perhaps (dare I say) either do a drive and/or grab some grub afterwards with some metrodubs cats?!?

mikeminnillo · « **Reply #15 on:** July 31, 2010, 02:05:03 PM »

Mark, how did you drop 179 out of the car? I must know your secrets!

mjohnson · « **Reply #16 on:** July 31, 2010, 03:13:25 PM »

98lbs is basically factory stuff. All 4 sections of the back seat, the floor mats, and the trunk false floor. The spare tire was already out, so I didn't weigh that, and I'm not sure what it is off hand (I'd guess another 50lbs, but I'll weigh that fo sho at a later date)

The other weight was my amp, subs/box, and other misc. stuff not normal in other cars.

The nice thing is. Everything I took out can easily be put back in in about 5 or 10 minutes...

scurvy_bandit · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2010, 05:18:26 PM »

delete the sunroof for more weight reduction!!

greggearhead · « **Reply #18 on:** July 31, 2010, 05:23:08 PM »

I'll have a swap meet if anyone needs a spot to sit in the shade etc. Come say hi - I usually miss most of hte car show part.

mjohnson · « **Reply #19 on:** July 31, 2010, 10:41:23 PM »

I'll definately have to hit you up on that offer greg. AND....I think it's safe to say I've never met you before (surprisingly), so I'll go ahead and check that block on the to do list..

Dave, if I wanted to make a race car, I'd consider that, but I like all those little options in my dd...

SwiftMKIII · « **Reply #20 on:** July 31, 2010, 10:44:08 PM »

A couple of us are meeting at the Wal-Mart on North Academy at 7:30. Plan to leave at by 7:45.

mjohnson · « **Reply #21 on:** July 31, 2010, 10:54:50 PM »

You gonna race Jeff? how bout Dave? Anyone else?

mjohnson · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2010, 10:36:28 PM »

Very nice crowd. Lots of people. Great show, good times racing... Nice to see some old faces show up, and meet a bunch of new ones.

This was the 2nd time ever on an actual strip. 1st time was last year in alabama on a redneck 1/8th mile. Wasn't sure how I was gonna do here at altitude and a legit crowd of people watching. I was hoping for 14s and after ironing out "driver" issues I was down there. Best run was 14.572 @ 96.29mph. Still rockin the ko4 and would like to see the lower half of the 14s before going bt.

The sucky part of the day was when I broke out on my first run in the eliminations. I dialed in a 14.7 and ran a 14.699.

Now here are the pics.

not sure why the right side is cut off of all the pictures. I'm sure if I shrunk them down it'd fix it, but I'm too lazy for that...

if they are too big, a scroll-bar appears at the bottom of the thread so you can scroll to the right to see the whole picture.... resize your shit
