Not to mention that after last year, i think everyone agreed that they can be unsafe for spectators due to no guard rails or barriers

 

I'm about 3 pages away from finishing my master degree I've been working on this 20 page paper, straight, since 3pm yesterday.

Almost...there.

I'm getting sick of my leaky exhaust system. Does some place like Monroe, or Jeff @ 1st try, do custom cat-backs? MY magnaflow muffler's still fine, I just need new piping with solid gaskets. I don't really want to drop $600 on a catback, if I don't have to.

 

yeah i have a leak too somewhere. i think around the flange area. i get one problem fixed and another crops up. just replaced the hub on saturday and now i can hear the exhaust leak...*shakes head*

 

Jeff will do piping for you. He did my entire exhaust. He's pretty good on pricing... just difficult to get to focus on the project sometimes... haha.

 

I might go to this if ppl want to get a group. I go to slippery Rock University and it is like 20 min away. my last day of classes in the 9th so that would work out perfect

 

Good luck getting the cobalts from this forum to go... I tried for all 5 zeli events last year...

A bunch of us goats are going tho, you guys are welcome to meet up with us

 

 

Jon,
There's a place right on 65 in Bellevue that is supposed to be good at doing custom stuff and reasonable.. Never rust exhuast or something named like that....

been thinking about getting a new set of pipes.....

Yes... I agree... but it's not becuase of a WUSS factor... it's becuase 1/8 mile and our cars don't get along... the last 1/8 in the qtr mile is where we finally catch up.

 

 

Ya rly.

 

if u can't make it which i doubt it that's far ill just chill in uniontown to do brownfield 1300 illegal street drag races lol

 

Theres 200 yards of grass, and another runway between racing and spectators.

Yes, since having fun is for losers.

I dont buy that.. there are a ton of cobalts that go up there, and a ton of other FWD cars... I dont think theres a "Wuss" factor going on at all, Its about having a blast, people are just too closed minded to come have some fun, look at cars and have some runs, I can't really explain the lack of interest here.



But those of you that ARE going, and the guy from uniontown, if you want, we will be meeting at the Kings right off of 79 north in wexford ~ 10:30am for breakfast on saturday, and we will leave and take the 20 min drive to the airport after, you guys are more than welcome to join us.... Gates open at noon, with racing starting at 2.

 

^^ I never said "having fun is for losers" anywhere in my posts.

I just said that it's kinda pointless cause it's running for only 1/8 of a mile with no timing. It's purely car-to-car (straight-line) racing in a short distance with absolutely no data to compare from run to run. FWD cars don't exactly get the best launch off of the line, so that puts them at an inherent disadvantage from the start. Add to that the fact that you get nothing that you can use to make adjustments and compare from run to run (like 60' times, trap speeds, etc.), it's pointless save for the use of comparing your 1/8 mile run to the car beside you.

That's not to say you can't have fun there. I'm talking about what interests me, and this not only doesn't interest me, but provides no technical use whatsoever.

 

Its not really for test n tune, or for timeslips, or to prove anything, its a 6 hour car show/meet with races, its a ****** blast... 75% of the cars that go up there are FWD.

 

anybody know of some good areas to go canoeing in western pa?

 

its way south of you, but OhioPhyle is THE place to conoeing / white water rafting.
plenty of quiet areas to canoe, and lots of rapids...



Back on the flashlight subject.....

I can almost garuntee I won't be there.... not being a wuss... but bewteen work autocrossiing, and getting time to work on the car/house, I don't have much time to do much of anything.

Car cruises locally is about it.

 

Haha, It's ok Brian...

I'll see ya in Irwin sometime soon!

 

1/8 mile for me is just no competition. Im done by the time the rear wheels stop spinning on the other car

 

awesome, might have to check it out. thx for the word.

 

Im sure theres some cars that would like to challenge that....

 

Do they allow bikes at the flashlight drags???

 

Not at Zeli for some reason

The other ones in the area allow bikes tho

 

new in the SS forums

i am looking to get the 08 SS/TC whenever they come out

 

I'll take you up on that one - Jeep now or "the other one" soon




Too bad you didn't come around when it was actually cool/fun over here...now, not so much. Like I said on the other board, I'll let you know when we'll be out somewhere and let me know when you pick yours up - I know a couple of us that want to see it

 

welcome
