Auto X Event this weekend. Shawno, WI LOOK!

Look what I am doing this weekend!



Is anyone else interested?

They have two sessions scheduled for that day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I signed up for the afternoon and they still have openings available.

I don't know what your talking about. lol

That track is designed for modified go-carts. Then a few times a year a local car club holds auto events.

I found out it is a lapping day which means there can be up to 7 cars on the track at the same time. Not really what I was looking for my first time out but oh well.

I'll be in the beginners class and the feeling I get from the car club is that most of these guys attending are pretty experienced. So there may only be a few entries in my class.

Nice Auto X write up btw.

Neat. Maybe I can make it out there one of the two, anyway.

I got your pm. Not sure where I stand on the RL right now. Probably going to be selling it soon, and not sure which hood I should sell it with.

I'd go with the stock one if I were you. Just keep me in mind.

Thanks..

Honestly, I quickly looked at the pic and thought it was a track..haha I'm guilty of not fully looking carefully enough...because if you look at the size of the parking lot...and think of an actual track...haha proportions are way off.

Good luck, and have fun!

This is interesting...

When I was putting my stock wheels back on the car yesturday I noticed that they felt as heavy as the 18" wheels I had on the car. So I got the scale out and sure shit. The stock wheel tire combo weights about 28 pounds and my 18" sky wheel and tire combo weights about 29 pounds.

Anyway.

I got my JS Strut bar installed and will install my Turbo Tech Racing rear sway bar this morning. The event does start for 6 hours but I am so excited!

When I opened my truck to remove the sub and amp I found 3" of water in my wheel well. My amp is most likely ruined... I don't know if it got in there from all the rain we have been having or if I left my trunk open??? At least it is gone now!

TTR rear sway bar is installed. Dam that thing is a beast!
