-Riley

[SRT Motorsports]

You can always pay at the track, but we prefer payment ahead of time. We can reserve your spot for sure, and it helps give us an idea of how it will turn out. I know that this event will be much larger than our last one. We got some good media coverage and lot more interests in the event :) I will still cap out the event at 35 cars.

[drift-it]

love to go but i don't think i'll have money, planning on the november one though because it'll be my bday.

[brainfood]

Looks like Drift Design will be there in full force!
Whole team should be out there this time. I will be gripping in the Honda Fit but instructing in the drift sessions.

[s13coupe805]

Yes the whole drift design team will be out in extreme force. When is the last day to register. my buddy wants to sign up but doesn't get back into town until aug. 31st

[KA24DESOneThree]

I think I'm going to make it to this one. Depends on whether or not I get my wiring back together and my suspension actually set up. I'm not taking out any wiring that's important so that should be easy and the suspension setup just requires me to stop being a lazy shite.

Oh, and if I'm doing OK as far as school goes... I don't even know if I got into CSUF and it's like a week and a half away, lol.

Girlfriend wants to see me drive/go for a ride on the track.

Hello HTM is a nice track,just stay within your levle & gradually work the speed up. The sweeper can be intimidating at first until you get the line down.It is slightly decreasing radius with a cliff on the outside. Then the downhill , DO NOT DO NOT overshoot this corner. You will understand once your there. The rest is all second gear.

I gotta hurry up & redo my entire cooling system,damn time is flying by. SEE YA THERE:w00t:

You have to be there...... Fit vs. 2 forty! I need someone that can keep up with the fit in the grip group you know the evo's cant hang.

Definately going again! Sam you said you would give me a shirt!!! :D

I was just about to type up a reply just like this. HTM is a great track, you just have to take it easy and not push yourself to the limit immediately... which is what I did.

I want to go again, but I have a little bit of fear in the back of my mind now and I don't trust myself... haha but if funds allow, and I can get work off, I will definately try to make it to this one.

I'll have my welded diff in for this event too, if I make it.. which leads to a question I have...

Will having a welded diff in my car make it hard for me to grip HTM?

[brainfood]

Will having a welded diff in my car make it hard for me to grip HTM?

IMO it will make it hard to grip anywhere

[azndummie]

i really wanna make it to this event, but we'll see what happens

Hello ,well in terms of a welded diff,I have one in my car. It can make being quick hard if you do not have a good feel for when you start to overdrive the front tires and/or burn off the rears.Also the other quirk with the LINCOLN LOCKER ,is that on sweeping corners that require a constant throttle application you will naturally pick up a push,then if you give it more throttle your gonna get snap oversteer. (NOTE all of this depends on total car setup how bad or good it can perform). Also depending on the grip levle available you cant get on the throttle as soon on corner exit, as a real LSD cause all of your slip coms from actuall wheel spin, wich doesnt move you forward(loss of time). IMHO you gotta know how to work the tires/drive it, to be as quick as an equally prepared car/driver with a properly functioning LSD.:bigok:


For a tight /small course like this its OK, but I was on BIG WILLOW & turn 8 & 9 with the LINCOLN LOCKER is a NO GO,you can not be fast cause the car constantly wants to step out on you in a 5th gear sweeper:ugh: :ugh:

[S14SwimShark105]

awesome advice guys, thanks,i'll try not to go too crazy on this course,anyon know how the track will be after the drift group has gone?more slick?tire chunks everywhere or what? big willow has always seemed too crazy or scary for me haha a mess up going at those speeds without a roll cage, i wouldn't want to risk it but thats just me.

[SRT Motorsports]

Register soon guys, Bump Bump Bump!!!!

[Hillkill]

Are you still doing the discounted price for birthdays? Mine is on the 9th and I would love to come tear it up out there.

[PhAtXSuMo]

hopefully i have my car by then =D

-Paul

[SRT Motorsports]

Of course we have the birthday deals !!!!!!!!! See you at the track :)


BTW Paul I will kick ur ass!!!

[KA24DESOneThree]

OMG Colin no WAI!

lol Bryan I haven't been to a track event in forever and I am going insane! Hell, I rarely drive the 240 since I bought a daily and every day it gives me puppy eyes as if to tell me that I'm a gigantic assbag for driving the lame BMW over it.

Driving HTM for the first time is like driving an unfamiliar mountain for the first time, so drive it like that and get a feel for it. Afterwards, it's no problem at all.

Real men are WOT through the sweeper...

[brainfood]

Real men are WOT through the sweeper...

So true and just lift to slide through the back corner and wot up the hill!

[tt99ol]

i wanna go but i need an sa rated helmet to attend right? oh well guess its time to bite the bullet and buy one. unless m rated is ok just this once.

[brainfood]

i wanna go but i need an sa rated helmet to attend right? oh well guess its time to bite the bullet and buy one. unless m rated is ok just this once.

Are you caged? Depending on how strict they are usually m is fine for open track days. Sometimes if you are caged they will require an sa helmet. Pretty sure you will be fine with an m but hopefully sam will chime in or you can email him.

[cfrost]

MA rated helmet is okay as long as it's 95 or newer :)

[brainfood]

This event is going to be Biblical! I will be there with the Woody-osis car spec Honda FIT Ordered tires yesterday!

[cfrost]

it'll be biblical :bigok:

[brainfood]

lets tandem and get videosis

Frost-oliath biblical. You would be sad when I busted a madder drift in the FIT.

[S14SwimShark105]

does anyone know how to enter horsetheif mile? haha do you just go to streets of willow and go straight up the hill?

[jayesone]

Hi there guys. Just wonder how is the beginers group like? Ive never been on any track yet, but im very interested. what is also req? helmet,tech loc? extra sets of rims and tires? Help this noob plz thanks

[swayray]

does anyone know how to enter horsetheif mile? haha do you just go to streets of willow and go straight up the hill?

hahaha... you'll figure it out when you get there...

Upon entering Willow springs main gate...you can either go left towards the balcony... then follow the route down hill... then left onto HTM's entrace....

or you can make a right past big willow towards then left towards streets then follow the route to make a right onto HTM's entrance....

[brainfood]

does anyone know how to enter horsetheif mile? haha do you just go to streets of willow and go straight up the hill?

Yeah go either to the balcony and then down the hill towards the streets, or go past the oval towards streets and then past the pits at the streets and up the hill. You will see a sign midway up the hill and a turn towards htm. Its got pretty small pits.

[swayray]

[Inlandsilvia]

[S14SwimShark105]

alright i can't wait, acouple more hours till fun time haha probably can't even sleep tonight it's going to be tiiiiiiight

[brainfood]

Cant wait!!!!!! Been working 8 hour days and then working on the s13 till I run out of day light all week so this will be a good break then back to the s13 all day sun. :) See everyone there!

[SRT Motorsports]

Just got home from SRT :( Going to leave in a couple hours....................going to be so damn tired!!!!!!

See you guys in the morning.

[Inlandsilvia]

haha, just finish fine tuning my friends s14 and packing my car up...I will be leaving in a few hours...No sleep till Horse thief...

[swayray]

damn.... i set my alarm wrong and over slept... i'm on my way!

[S14SwimShark105]

so is srt motorsports going to come out with a video? or some pictures that they took of this event? whoever had that yaris is pretty coolio lol me and him had a DUEL!! haha i was the only white zenki s14 that was gripping that day haha

[brainfood]

Its a FIT!!!

Yeah had fun, wish I was in my race car though. See everyone in nov. at least if the car isnt done I will still be in a rwd car one way or another.

[S14SwimShark105]

yeah oops i dont know why i kept saying yaris lol i saw some crazy cars out there today and was all scared but on the track most of them were pretty slow and this was the first time i've ever driven a rearwheel drive car at the track and the first time at horsethief, very fun though i racked up like 100+ miles of track miles until they started to join drift and grip and i didn't want someone to hit my car so i called it quits and went home haha

[brainfood]

lol drifters arent that crazy, I would worry more about grip drivers hitting you. seriously

I posted this on ziptied figured I would post it here too.

Just so everyone knows. Event was lots of fun even in the fit.
Highlights:

Ryan man'd up and came out and tore it up after a little coaching and some ziptie ebrake modding.

I drifted the FIT (big suprise :thumbsup: )

I am just as fast or faster in a stock FIT with 90whp as most of the other grip drivers out there. Sad! :punchballs:

Mark totaled his car :( It was super sad!! at least most of the mechanicals are all good so I am sure swapping to a new chassis wont be too bad.

I linked htm downhill section with a stock motor corolla on the first try. Well almost not enough power to do the rest of the corners but I linked the downhill straight. Mark also did :poojar: :shock:

I think you all missed out that weren't there.

[94cc0rd]

wait, who's Mark? He doesn't drive a white s13 fastback does he?

[brainfood]

No the sexy ass blue 86. Im sure it will be back and better than ever soon enough.

[94cc0rd]

how did he total his car?

also, was there a white RSX and another RSX (i think its black?) gripping?

[Inlandsilvia]

SRT for the freaking win!!! Outstand track event. I had so much track time I burnt all the tires i had plus Ray gave me a pair and I burned those too. Can't wait till Nov. where is it going to be at? If you guys missed this one you missed out on some great grip and drift driving. Nice meeting everyone.

[brainfood]

Mark flipped drifting at the very bottom of the hill going through the water tower schikane.

^ Glad to see you out there driving again Thai! pm me address so I can ship out that ecu for you.

The RSX's were there they almost as quick as I was in the morning probably got better by the end of the day didnt drive with them again.

[tt99ol]

man i had a blast, first time on htm, was so much fun, i drove the blue sileighty and by the end of the day i broke something in my steering rack, prolly the tie-rod ends but oh well i had a blast hopefully ill see you all at the next one

[swayray]

wait, who's Mark? He doesn't drive a white s13 fastback does he?

lol... white hatch was me....

hehe... I finally managed to connect the downhill section on a stock KA!!! i'm super stoked... until my tire blew outta the bead....

[cfrost]

lol... white hatch was me....

hehe... I finally managed to connect the downhill section on a stock KA!!! i'm super stoked... until my tire blew outta the bead....

eeeee congrats ray! that's awesome

sorry I didn't make it up (thus the centerpiece didn't either)

I wish I could have but the car still wasn't running right......arg!

glad everyone had fun, sorry to hear about marks car :(

[94cc0rd]

lol... white hatch was me....

hehe... I finally managed to connect the downhill section on a stock KA!!! i'm super stoked... until my tire blew outta the bead....

nah i know a mark who drives a white s13 fastback and a couple of his friends (the 2 rsxs) went out to HTM so i thought he went with them...

[swayray]

eeeee congrats ray! that's awesome

sorry I didn't make it up (thus the centerpiece didn't either)

I wish I could have but the car still wasn't running right......arg!

glad everyone had fun, sorry to hear about marks car :(

no worries bro... wish you still would've made it... i would've let you instruct me for a whole run group on my car.....

[S14SwimShark105]

haha i still couldnt' get over how crazy the FIT was haha it was freaking tiiiiigghhttt, there was that one silver turboed 350z and convertible oldschool porsche that kept messing up and holding up everyone that sorta pissed me off. Some guy had a silver wrx that would not let me pass after tailing his ass for like a good 15 laps or so , he knew i was faster but just didn't want to let me go, made me pretty angry haha but o well, i tried to chase that yellow s2000 and the crazy pink expensive looking widebodied 350z but that CAR is crazy, I learn that you can have a crazy car but without a crazy driver you get nowhere haha

[cfrost]

that sucks about the WRX, but keep in mind that there are HOT pits, if you want to not have to tail gate him for 15 laps just pull into the hot pits give him 3/4 of a lap and take off again

and it's not the crazy FIT it's the crazy DRIVER in the fit!

[cfrost]

no worries bro... wish you still would've made it... i would've let you instruct me for a whole run group on my car.....

next time for sure! will you be at the san fran HIN?

I'm just trying to think of when the next time I'll see you is so I can get you that centerpiece! :2f2f:

[brainfood]

and it's not the crazy FIT it's the crazy DRIVER in the fit!

It was freedom powered!
The car is stock so not that crazy :)

[S14SwimShark105]

haha i want to start seeing more 240sx grip driving man, i was the only one out there and felt all lonley haha at the very end of the day the combined grip and drift when i was still on the track i didn't even know what was going on, i saw random people drifting and some guy spunout right infront of me and i almost hit him haha that was scary, any word on pictures of videos?

[gotta240]

Please tell me you bastards got the car flipping on video?!?!

I could have sworn the s15 was going to flip at the last srt trackdays, or kill like 10 spectators....luckily neither happend.... Please post a pic/video of the wreck..

How did it happen? Did he spin and hit the burm or what?

[KA24DESOneThree]

I'm going to be at the next one.

I'm bringing lightness, downforce, and about 10 more horses.

[S14SwimShark105]

KA24DESOneThree (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=21506) are you going to be running grip or drift? if grip, awesome, I would like to run against you for fun haha what motor or horse power numbers do you have? It will be fun, it will be fun haha I will be bringing me, my canopy and my car haha

[SlideJdm]

yea


uhuh

[UNITEDMASTER]

I missed this one,car was/is geting some upgrades. So it looks like there will be some 240 gripers at the next round,this should be interesting!!!!!!

KA24DEONETHREE- may I ask what are you doing in terms of downforce??

[brainfood]

KA24DESOneThree (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=21506) are you going to be running grip or drift? if grip, awesome, I would like to run against you for fun haha what motor or horse power numbers do you have? It will be fun, it will be fun haha I will be bringing me, my canopy and my car haha

He is non turbo ka and faster than you I promise that :)

[S14SwimShark105]

^^ hahaha yeah i dont doubt that or doubt that both of you are faster than me haha hopefully i can learn something and be able to go faster and faster each time, this was the first time i've driven a rearwheel drive car at the track so it took some getting used to as opposed to the civic haha but i like it so far, that guy on ziptied SASHA i think? is my freaking motivation haha

[brainfood]

Yeah sasha is pretty gangster, good that you are out at the track and not risking the car in the canyons.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Bryan, as always, thanks for the compliment. I want to see the Fit in action!

Grip is what I run... usually.

I'm hoping to be making 145whp by the track day lol.

UnitedMaster- If I can manage to be stingy, I'll have a splitter, canards and a wing.

If I'm not gonna spend much on power, I'm gonna make as much grip as I can.

[gotta240]

hmmm. Will be nice to have another 240 gripping it... I'm just about the only 240 gripping at the events i've been to.

Not to flame, but i seriously doubt this "downforce" will be of much help at horsethief... Big willow/the streets... MAYBE.


Oh yeah.... ^^^^^^^ What rims/tires (size and brand of tires) are you running?

[S14SwimShark105]

haha I have the same power probably as you KA24DESOneThree (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=21506), I just have intake header exhaust, but running big heavy show rims haha my car isn't tuned or anything and the fuel system or something is messed up and i idle like crazy when it gets hot haha I will try to learn from you so i can become a better driver haha it would be cool to compete on a national level one day. I want some pictures or videos from the event!! haha

[mangoes]

anyone have pics??!

[KA24DESOneThree]

17x9 +15s CEs front/ same size TEs rear with 245/40R17 RE01-Rs.

Downforce always helps. There was a very competitive S13 hatch autocross car which utilized only a relatively small rear wing.

[S14SwimShark105]

^^ I'm not rich enough to get light ass wheels like that ,closest I can get is probably the 17 pound 17x10 enkei rpf1's haha I will be looking forward to some fast 240sx grippers :D

[94cc0rd]

Evos and STIs got NOTHING on KA24DESOneThree... nothing...

[mangoes]

near the end of the day i gripped in the drift/grip run group. i felt that it was more exhilerating than drifting =D.

[swayray]

next time for sure! will you be at the san fran HIN?

I'm just trying to think of when the next time I'll see you is so I can get you that centerpiece! :2f2f:

yeah we're going to do that demo at HIN... still trying to figure out how we are going to trailer amanda's car up there... but ya... justin put us on the driver's list...


240sx drifts on its own thats why there aren't that many 240sx that grip...

i do have a friend who went to the last SRT trackday but missed this one... he grips his black s14 kouki 240sx like it had an SR... but its a stock KA too... :)


he is so fast that the camera guy can barely catch up to him...

so fast that his SPL tie-rods would just snap at him:

so fast that he got to replace his tie-rod and tie-rod ends in less than 15 minutes and got himself back on the track in 30 mins flat...

not just a badass instructor but a super nice guy! (plus masashi, as you can see has one of the baddest s14's around...so good looking!)

srt motorsports (sam) is probably pretty busy with other stuff, like his COROLLA!

[mangoes]

anyone have any more pictures? =(

[gotta240]

Where are pics/video/full explanation of the 'rolla flipping?

[S14SwimShark105]

Same, I want some pictures and videos haha they were filming and taking pictures all day long though so there should be a bunch soon. Too bad I didn't see the corolla flip I was ou tto lunch and came back and saw it in pieces, what a shame, anyone going to redline track on sept 23rd?

[Unstroked]

Here are some pics that I took from the event. I hope you guys enjoy them.

DAMN DAMN DAMN, thats too bad,that car was very clean.

BRAINFOOD - whats up with that pink Z, packin any heat or just all looks???.
Also looks like the clean up crew was real busy that day,seams like the drifters tore it up ,literally lollollol

[S14SwimShark105]

^^ haha the only cleanup crew was that 1 guy you see in that picture so it took FOREEVVERRRRRR, I would also like to know more info about that pink 350z because it was pretty slow for what it was haha same thing for that silver turboed 350z, they would gain on me on the straights but i would be on their bumper on the corners so who knows haha I saw a lot of people spin out and crap like that which wasted some time for all of us but o well haha

The z was/is a show car its all stock I beleive. Looks nice though. It could have been faster I am sure I was keeping up with it in the fit but I imagine it was his first time on the track and props for getting out there and driving.

Yeah those damn drifters made a huge mess. Seems like worse than normal. Might just seem that way though because I wasnt drifting so I noticed the dirt more.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Were you there when an S2k showed up with a bumper taped like in picture 9 then went off the track into a berm and destroyed the front end? The irony was a little funny, even if I felt really bad for the guy.

You guys were running the "safe" way.

Is that RSX on R-comps?

[S14SwimShark105]

That rsx I believe had some falken rt615's all around, nice looking car and stuff though,I couldn't fit bridgestone re-01r's in the front of my car so I was running with 225/35/18 tire which is pretty lowprofile and I checked my rims yesterday and those rocks left behind by the drifters jacked up my rims haha major deep scratches and even on the inside of one wheel was completely bent!:( Dont go to the track with lowprofile tires and show wheels lol

[KA24DESOneThree]

I'm the guy everyone loves to hate because I have the track workers sweep up rocks before the grip run groups.

[swayray]

i'm the guy the track workers hate because my rear tires tend to hit the curb....

[S14SwimShark105]

nobody likes people who fling rocks onto the track lol

[Inlandsilvia]

can't wait till the next one.

[Unstroked]

Hopefully I will have a 240 by the next event. I love my Evo, but I want to get sideways for a little bit like the rest of you guys. Colin, you think you sit co-pilot and give a rookie some pointers??? I would ask Sam, but he doesn't even like butterflies... LOL...

[DataXUnknown]

James you have a 240? Man I wanna see it. I really hope I will have a SR20DET in my 240 by the next track event.

What is going on Wes??? I am trying to get my hands on a 240 before the next event. I figure I have around 2 months to find one. I thought you were working on gettign a SR dropped in? What happened?
