Ok I am not bringing all the shyt from last time! No canopy, chairs, or cooler! I shared last year! If it rains this year im jacking somebodys umbrella!

Some one tell me they will let me use there hemet to go around the track a few times so I dont have to buy one!

And as for the last minute mods......muhahahah I been buy'n goodies since last year....just worked off the labor for all the installation.....weekend after next......its on like Donkey Kong!

[Sijonda]

I'll be able to make it this year again. Put me on the list for Autocross. And I guess for drift just for the heck of it. I'll make a fool of myself but I might as well try.

One again I got my 240 running and once again my fingers are crossed.

I looked at the "cheap tape" requirement and is duck tape on the return tubing for the intercooler ok? I have a torn boot and I just patched it quick and don't want to get into it until after the event.

I'll get on paypal once I get an answer to my tape question.

[DJ_B_Easy]

I'll get on paypal once I get an answer to my tape question.

I would check with EZCheese on this one. You should be able to PM him off the thread at the top of every subforum.

That reminds me, did I read somewhere helmet requirements have changed? Or did I make that up? Because Polish...

There will be no rental helmets available, so participants must supply their own SA2005 (or newer) Snell rated helmets (no cracks). Motorcycle helmets are also acceptable, but they must have a Snell rating of M2005 or newer. We will also accept helmets with a BSI safety rating of 6658 Type A. As of January 1st, 2012, SA2000 and M2000 helmets have become expired and will not be allowed. Note, helmets with just an SAE/DOT rating are not acceptable. Please make sure you check your helmet to make sure they not only have a Snell or BSI sticker but that has a current one. If there is no valid Snell or BSI sticker, that helmet cannot be used. No exceptions. Bicycle helmets are also not acceptable. It is okay to share helmets, but please be forewarned, no one will be permitted on that track without wearing an approved helmet. Please advise during tech/registration if he or she is sharing helmets. If people are sharing helmets, the helmet only needs to be tech'ed once.

I can bring a few helmets again this year (full face motorcycle helmets), i didn't track last year but nam (soxypoo) took out my helmet when he went on the ride along with LBC around the track so i'm guessing its meets requirements

[LongBeachCoupe]

Closer than ever...
I will be taking a few minutes this weekend hopefully to send out room confirmations to all those who paid.
As of now the Lodge and the entire hotel are booked, but there is a waiting list I can possibly get rooms as I am first on it!

[sndtgr08]

@ Jman0711
I may have borrowed yours when LBC took me for a spin, or when I drove myself. Thanks to who ever helped and had one for my son too. Very cool. I am looking to score one "for the club" before I come this year to try and return the favor.

@ LBC
Thank you for all your organizational skillz! Its people like you that make events like this great! Keep up the good work!

[sndtgr08]

YeaY. Picked up a slightly used KBC FFR Helmet today. Excellent condition with original travel bag and snell rated for 2005. $40 and the guy drove it to me. It has some crazy design on it, and was a pain in the butt to try and search for cracks or chips. Here is the photo the seller took, you get the idea.



Would have prefurred a solid color, but if it makes it through the next few Carlilses I will be happy =)

[soxypoo]

I will bring my tricycle helmet ...... Less than 2 months away

[sndtgr08]

A little sneak peek morning shot. Almost there. Just a few more odds and ends and I will be ready



I see 2 others from VA on the Nicofest list. It would be nice to cruise up and meet up with the MD peeps and all cruise in together...

[DJ_B_Easy]

I see halos! Guess you got it all installed OK?

[sndtgr08]

I see halos! Guess you got it all installed OK?

haha you got me! Yea no problems at all with the install. A little splicing cuz I had HID before, and I forgot to ajust them before I put everything back to gether and had to rip it all apart again yesterday to aim the lights. They are almost perfectly level now, but the passenger projector is just slightly to the left. I tried the hot screwdriver method but heated it up too much and now just have a hole, so I have to take that one back out and click it a couple of notches to be perfect. And holy crap the halo's are bright. This morning(still dark @ 6:15am) when I started the car to take the munchkin to school i kicked them on while it was still dark and it lights up the yard and the side of the house(25ft away) and casts shadows. I have heard about some other halos from ebey and people were saying they were dim. These are clearly visable in the day. In the pic the camera is almost pointed at the sun comming over the trees, and i posted a pic with the sized reduced by like 60% and its a narrow side view of the car, with the car was about 20ft away, and you can clearly see them.
