Re: Event #7 @ BMS/ SEDIV Championship

Yeah I hope to be able to swing it. Doing the math manually, at this point with drops we're really close. Its going to be a good battle all season long and missing another event is going to be hard to come back from for me at this point.

Re: Event #7 @ BMS/ SEDIV Championship

So victoria and I are on the fence now. We have a new to us 8 week old puppy now and we're trying to work out the logistics of bringing the puppy with us (shes adorable!) or what we need to do to leave her at home. Hopefully we get a plan together and still make it.

Re: Solo at th' Pilli...

Echo on the F-Street competition. At the end first to second was about a tenth gap, same with second to third. Really good to see the talent evening out and giving us some real adrenaline and motivation to pulling those times down. You guys in those american cars, i never thought I'd see one of thos...

Re: RE: Re: Smokies event # 3

Course looked good from the look I had at it. Big thanks to Brian and Ariel for towing the BMW home after its brake failure. Replacing the hardlines stem to stern is going to be super fun before the next event. That transition going up from the lower lot is quite the unsettling bump! Speaking of br...

Re: Indoor Karting Comes to Knoxville?

Anyone know where it's going to be? I could make a habit out of that potentially.

Re: Smokies event # 3

I've run the ATE Dot 4 brake fluid for as long as I can remember with the exception of topping it off in case of emergency so no worries there.

Re: Smokies event # 3

That transition going up from the lower lot is quite the unsettling bump! Sucks on the brake line. If you need to borrow a line bending tool I have one around here somewhere. It works better than a WD40 can... Yes, I have used both. Get the proper tool to bend the lines, trust me. I altered my line...

Re: **2016 Tire Rack Thunder Valley Showdown**

I need Tire Rack decal measurements so I can figure out a place for it to land. From what I understand - that will be required to pass tech??? Yes, you will have to have Tire Rack, all three SCCA stickers, numbers, and class letters, at a minimum. I've been told that they give these out at registra...

If anyone is interested in going in at the same hotel, looks like the speedway inn is the closest at $50/night. Anyone stayed there before?
