I'll be there tonight. Anybody else?

I would imagine they would've cleaned it up by now. They couldn't clean it up last night because the track was wet. It was tricky enough with a wet track and 6 degrees out. Adding oil on the track....fugetaboutit.

Not going tonight but I'm planning on going the 21st with MCO and the 26th with 1MoreLap.

Sign up for the MCO training next week and get your fix for 2014 and you'll be in shape for the season of 1morelap next spring

Who here winters their Frs/Brz? -

I can't decide if I should park it for the winter in a barn, or if i should drive it through the winter, my plans are to modify this car, including turbo, after my ride in the turbo BRZ it looks like my path is set out for me, i just want to make this car last as long as I can.

What do you folks recommend having driven the car through the winter and not, I am budget oriented, and am saving for other expenses, like buying a house WITH a garage, for Cleopatra ( my frs ) - name means fathers pride and joy, it just fit so well.

So, what is your take?

I know a lot of them are driving their twin during the winter, I personally have the option to get a beater which I am getting, nothing good can come out of the salt on our roads...

But RWD + Winter =

@Slick you have some gear 300 left ?

AznKirby · 09-14-2014, 08:29 PM

This is why I don't drive my car during the winter.
East Canadian snowfall

KingGeo · 09-14-2014, 08:37 PM

I drive mine all winter, but it is in a garage, not sure I would otherwise.
if you do decide to have winter fun, get the best winter tires you can possibly afford

HeadBanger · 09-14-2014, 08:41 PM

Today I decided I wanted to tint my tail lights.
Epic fail. I'll get a picture tomorrow. I decided to use a can of plsti dip smoke I've had laying around for a year. I guess the can didn't have enough pressure in it and it was spraying out all blotchy. I'm glad I can just peel it.

I also did the pedal dance today. I'm happy to say once you do the pedal dance our cars will do a burnout

Getting some in this week! I'll let you know once I have it.

Slick · 09-14-2014, 10:12 PM

Btw, not even middle if September yet and you guys are posting winter pics.
Stahp! It's too soon....

Just got back from 1morelap. The oil wasn't an issue. The motorcycles ran all day and they had put absorb stuff to clean up the oil.

Just before we started they brought a guy and his bike off the track. He had clearly gone off since there was grass and dirt all in his tires, engine, chain and his racing suit had a very fresh looking set of road rash and grass bits.

Good night at the track. My daughter had a blast and the new wheels and tires were much better.

Yep, winter drive mine. Slap four snows on and you're good to go.

pushrod · 09-14-2014, 10:48 PM

1morelap was a blast tonight. Had the track "to myself" for a great number of laps, and really got into it. Took an enthusiastic 16 year old kid for a couple laps, who said I was a "great" driver. I didn't correct him

Can't wait for MCO next Sunday. Then, time to start think about the "w" word.
