Gainesville events are on as well...

138MustangGT · 04-04-2002, 11:48 AM

We need to do a Gainesville event soon I am dying here.

I have been given full reign over Gainesville. I have to decide what dates we will have events here so not to coincide with State Fairgrounds events or VCC events... Its ok to crash Palm Bay events though because they rarely drive the 4 hours to come up.

I dont think there can be one in April because I just cant run it due to finals. BUT I can do:

4-5 of May (second weekend is FSF)
6-7 of July (second weekend is FSF)
last week of August since the first few weeks in Sept are National type events

let me know how this sounds to you guys and if youd want to come up to Gainesville still while having FSF events as well. The events could be other dates in the month I just want to allow Frank to pencil in some dates so people know to plan. AND allow us to advertise (we HAVE to have around 75 people each day to break event). I NOW have enough staff in Gainesville to run the full setup and tear down of the course. And if the Safety Stewards will stay around or IF I GET QUALIFIED there will be fun runs. FUN RUNS WILL BE ANNOUNCED BEFORE THE EVENT FROM NOW ON period.

thanks guys.

HELL YEAH Ill trek my ass up to GIR!!!! Just so I can beat your slow ass on your home turf!

Im gonna have to come up with a better way to haul my wheels around though... I cant fit two in the trunk...

maybe a trailer like that one guy with the miata uses to carry his stuff to FSF....

lstepnio · 04-04-2002, 03:13 PM

Any of these dates will be great!! Ill be glad to help out in any way but its still hard for me to do 2 day events all the way out at GIR.

svtjesse · 04-04-2002, 03:24 PM

Stop your whining and just do it!!!!!

weaser · 04-08-2002, 07:53 PM

Ill be there

**Alan** · 04-08-2002, 09:22 PM

Oh FUCK YEAH! Ill be there both days this time...hopefully with some new Yoko A032Rs mounted on my spare 15s.

**Leonard** · 04-08-2002, 10:33 PM

Go with the Kumhos VR700s if they are available..... they are WAY cheaper than the Yoks and from what Ive seen neither is arguably better....

Just my $.02

**Durdan** · 04-08-2002, 11:01 PM

i should hav emy car back by then. ill be there

Im looking into other options. I posted something about it in General Car Chat.

lstepnio · 04-09-2002, 03:28 AM

Falkens are THE budget soloII street tire class choice.

I dont think the V700s are going to be a wise choice in your case unless your mods already put you into a soloII class that allows you to run R compound rubber like V700s.

I cant stress enough importance on being very clear on the soloII classing when making your tire choice.

**Leonard** · 04-09-2002, 09:00 AM

<THWACK> He was already looking at Yok R compound tires...

You and your stinking Falkens.... Yeah they are sticky but they aint got nothin on the Kumhos. Warm Kumhos feel almost like silly putty... (And when you drive on em you feel like a 5 year old who was just given a wad of silly putty and the sunday comics).

**Alan** · 04-09-2002, 11:06 AM

Im getting a deal on the Falkens...so Im going with those right now. Of course as time and money permit I will be trying other combonations. Thanks for the input.

138MustangGT · 04-09-2002, 11:26 PM

Istepnio.. what the hell are you talking about are you dumb?

Unless you are in STS drive on VictorRacers they are DOT and I ran them in STOCK class. Everyone in stock runs Kumhos or Hoosiers. You are one daft gypsie.
The only class you would not want to run them in is MOD because you drive on FULL RACE RUBBER in mod classes.
VictorRacers are the cheapest stickiest tires a thrifty driver can buy.
Jesse drives his STS Protege on (his third set of)Azenis and he has driven my car once as well. Hed love to drive on V700s if theyd let him. Azenis are not even to be compared with V700s they are a different class of tire. The Falkens will last you just a few more races (say 50% longer max) and cost you less and cost you traction.
Just my opinion...

I may be driving on Falkens soon and my SN might change

but that is another story...

lstepnio · 04-10-2002, 11:11 AM

WOW... Calling me names like dumb and daft gypsie(?) for no good reason.

I was under the impression that his Focus was in the Street Touring class that does not allow R compound tires. Its possible that it was a poor assumption on my part but based on his post(s) he was never considering R compound tires for his Focus. Im also running in STX and its hard to argue with my statement that The Falkens are the -->**budget**<-- soloII -->**street tire class**<-- choice as I stated in my original reply that you thought was so dumb. I never stated that the Falkens are in any way better than the V700s but I mearly suggested that he considers classing before making a tire choice. I dont see how that would be dumb considering its common mistake for people to make mods and purchase tires before considering SoloII classing.

Sean please clearify why any of this stated in my reply was dumb?! In my case I would be in a clear classing disadvantage if I went with R compound tires considering the WRX with my current mods. Its possible I might be in a special circumstance with the WRX but I think its a far cry from being flamed. You even said yourself that the guy in the Mazda was in the same boat in STS. No flames here but I dont see any of this as being dumb in the slightest? I really dont want to be arrogant here so please clarify my flaw here.
