there we go, I think i may still need to remove a few discs tomorrow, but as of now idle is as quiet as when the car was stock.
LMAO!
I bet you're going to get some weird looks going down the highway!
I always get weird looks, now those will be combined with confusion.
I always wondered what that setup was supposed to be copying on the rigs from the boys of Pep.
Kudos to you for the effort! You should get one free cone tomorrow for really taking the noise restrictions seriously!Quote:

Great turnout today and beautiful weather to top it off! See y'all at the next one.
Great event...thanks to everyone responsible! I hope to be at more this season.
What luck on the weather!
Congrats to OZMDD on his first FTD!
Too bad about that cone on your last run, Miatamoto. It would have given you FTD.
Thanks, everyone.
BigD, I forgot to meet you.
Great event again, JJ! They said a Winter Event couldn't work, and you've pulled-off great events two years in a row! It felt good to scratch the autox itch, but now we have to wait again!! Thanks to everyone for making the work assignments run smoothly.
Decoded your message, OZMDD.Quote:

Congrats to ozmdd on FTD and thanks for the co-drive. I managed 2nd in class and 4th overall my first time out with in it - I guess I can't blame the car...
Great weather, great courses, great people.
Thanks to the group 3 folks for the entertainment!

Fun event, thanks to Jim_H for the co-drive, very different experience but so much fun.
Great time, had a blast and both courses were really good JJ
You did get to meet me, I just failed at introducing myself. I was the guy in the texas rangers hat that helped load the trailer. I think next time I'm gonna have one of our local pros ride along with me so I can get some pointers instead of just guessing on what to do to improve.
Uploaded some photos from the event:

There were a few offenders. I know of 2 cars that had to sit out the event, but at least 1 of them was able to grab a co-drive.Quote:

True, a few ass clowns watching and blowing through the side streets etc. I don't think it was frequent enough to make a difference unless someone was keeping a strict eye the entire day and was being anal.Quote:

And the other was offered several co-drives, but he just decided to sit the PM runs out. He was able to get his AM runs in and he worked his AM shift, which is cool.Quote:

I'm considering becoming a Supertrapp dealer and setting-up a table with a bunch of the bolt-on sleeve versions. :) Maybe just buy a box of steel wool and some window screen and sell "kits!"
I was surprised how well the steel wool worked. The Cavalier literally had no muffler, hence the super loud noise but he just stuffed a bunch of that in the pipe, covered it with some more as a screen and clamped it, went from 103+ to the 80 range!Quote:
