Sorry no tire machine

Ride alongs are kinda....iffy.
maybe in the afternoon. I'll have to talk to the peeps at willow. Because the insurance is kinda weird. No passengers for grip.

gotta240 · 12-12-2007, 04:07 PM

SWEET!!! HTM is THE SHIT.
Hopefully you guys can get it worked out with passengers. I know it sounds retarded, but you will lose quite a few people without allowing passengers. Myself as well as a few others roll up as solo drivers, with a friend to help work on the car/change tires. Its impossible to talk anyone into spending all day at willow without letting them ride along in the car they are working on.
Nearly every event i've been to at willow has allowed passengers(actually ALL except the streets of willow). Hopefully you get it handled.. Keep us posted, as i'll prolly sign up if you allow me a passener.

Free bump!

exactly... not to mention the 10hour drive. in a loud smell lowered car. lol

*Sonic Motor* · 12-12-2007, 05:40 PM

heres the deal with passengers, they dont have a "drifting insurance"

Last time at the balcony, Jim at willow told me to not allow any passengers, theres a loop hole through it, but i dunno.

As long as everyone behave, I may let ppl have passengers for drift for the advance drivers.

well, we will see.
But isnt it better without passenger? Less weight? Faster lap times?

brokeAs240sx · 12-12-2007, 06:00 PM

There's no transponder, lap times don't matter,

And in my case, usually a passenger is more experienced and points out different lines/brake points/etc. Like an instructor... but maybe not, haha.

240love · 12-12-2007, 06:40 PM

awww...wait so there isnt passangers at balcony either???

Well, talk to me on aim...I'll give you all the 411

ericcastro · 12-13-2007, 02:24 PM

khmerguy618,
I would say you could crash at my house, but I live in hollywood. By the time you made it here, we would have to turn around. I usually leave at 5AM with Jackson to get things rolling first thing. (plus with late drivers, I went through 4 tires by 9:30 and had the course to myself for a half hour

If you bring a truck, just crash in the back for 2 hours. Remember though, its FREEZING desert tempetures at night and little chilly in the day.

Yeah at ASB i went through 3sets of tires, basically a set a lap and then conserved my last pair to drive home on.

I slept in the back of my s14 using my helmet as a pillow (which sucked) for like 2hours. FUN.

at least this time i'll have a truck and a better sleeping bag. Worse comes to worse i'll hijack someones hotel room

Thanks for the offer, i probably won't get there til like 3 or 4 am anyways cuz i dont' get out of work until 10pm sat night.

jsuhs14 · 12-14-2007, 11:54 PM

hmm.. never been to balcony before.. hows the ground surface? anywhere near as rough as el toro? how many sets are you guys bringing?

240love · 12-14-2007, 11:56 PM

ive never been to el toro but it looks rough out there and balcnony is smooth as a babys bottom lol well atleast i think so

ericcastro · 12-15-2007, 03:18 AM

balcony is smooth. usually I run through a set and a half. I end up just driving home on the second pair cause there still good and im lazy.

el Toro is a great course, It just eats tires. When i did DD36 there, I went through 6 tires. all of em completely done. two of them chunked to flats, two i took to the limit, and two to cords.

jsuhs14 · 12-15-2007, 10:24 AM

so just bringing up 2 sets for the rears should be good?

*Sonic Motor* · 12-15-2007, 12:00 PM

bring as much as you can. Hahah...

ericcastro · 12-15-2007, 01:35 PM

Yeah, for the Balcony, 2 sets is usually good. If you bring a third as back up even better. But I usually only go with 2 sets.

Blackparade · 12-15-2007, 01:58 PM

It mainly depends on your driving style!
I could make 2 sets last all day, but when i drive really agressive and put down sick smoke i could go through 4 sets easy!
It all depends on your driving style,, so i would say at least 2 sets.

p.s. the balcony is really smooth compared to el toro

*Sonic Motor* · 12-15-2007, 04:19 PM

i would bring a FULL set. Last time I burnt up a full set with almost new tires. Scary....But I was going at it like Crazzzzyy..

karl wasabi · 12-15-2007, 04:56 PM

Not to mention what motor you have. lol.

Me? One brand new pair lasted me the entire day on the rears. haha. I was hauling as much ass as I could.

That's KA for ya!!

Who me?????
All ive got is a stock RB20, nothing special

I alternate between 225/45 and 235/40's in the rear. RIght now im really likeing 235.

90 DGRZ · 12-15-2007, 09:34 PM

sometimes i can run on a set forever, and other times, they'll go away crazy...and ill keep the same driving style. at least TRY to save them by heat cycling or somethin...

khmerguy618 · 12-16-2007, 01:31 AM

I got a KA and i went through 4 pairs my first time there (3rd track event). I'd suggest bringing 1 pair more than you think you'll need just in case so u can at least drive home.

ericcastro · 12-16-2007, 03:25 AM

yeah, agreed^. bring extra, if you dont use em, you got a set for next time.

sijia10358 · 12-16-2007, 11:34 AM

damn... tire = $$$...i feel soo broke!

khmerguy618 · 12-16-2007, 12:27 PM
