MD: Capitol Raceway

[SoupsRedline]

There was about 13,000 on it when I first reported it back in January, and i've been in 4 times now with no resolution. After the second time they told me it was the fuel cutoff, and I proved to them it wasn't and they told me to go to another dealership and there was nothing else they could do. My only concern is that its happening over the speed limit, so if I file something, will it be overturned cause I "shouldn't be speeding anyways"??

[SoupsRedline]

Shoot me a PM and we'll talk about the process you had to go thru, cause i'm REALLY fed up with the car not working correctly.

So... how was the track this weekend?? Anyone get any good times??

I pulled this one off at mason dixon sunday. I made 10 passes saturday and 11 on sunday up there. When I heard this time over the radio I was so happy. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I made 14.375 pass 10 minutes later, car never cooled off. The best part of the two runs is one was against a Civic Si (not the new one, but the 03ish generation) and and the other against a high 14 sec integra. While we were staging I heard the integra's buddy tell him that he better beat this retarded saturn. I think that gave me the motivation to squeeze an extra couple 1/10's out of the car.

Yeah where were you guys?? I was up there lookin for some of ya. Didn't see one person. All in all it was a great time. There weren't nearly as many cars as I'd originally expected. So I ended up gettin about 5 runs in. fastest was 13.91 at 102 with a 2.2 short. Not bad for the first run of the season I'd say. And about a half second quicker than my last run last year. I've got room for improvement though, so things should only get better from here. Gotta couple mods layin round left to be done and then crank the boost up from stock and I should be money. Well maybe next time we can all get up there or something. I usually try and go on Sundays though, Friday's are cool at 4:30-5pm. But gettin there any later than that is pointless to me. Talk to you guys soon!

Man, I wanted to go soooo bad this weekend! But I had to go in to work and start on a side job. I definetly want to go next weekend though, hopefully the weather will be nice too.

Nice job man! I couldn't bare to go up there and loose to a honda. I remember the last time I was at Capitol helping my buddy with his 'Cuda, there was this silver civic with drag slicks and a lotta mods running low to mid 14's...that made me want to beat that guy with my stock saturn, but it would totally suck if he beat me. I wanna go next weekend for sure. It must have been quite windy out there this weekend, huh?

i'm waiting on my torque brace, and possibly a resolution to this trans problem and i'll be out there. Glad to see you got in that 13.xx range, and that an awesome run out of the RL parker. I'll keep you guys posted on whenever i'm going to head out.

I hear is supposed to be nice next weekend so let me know if anyone is going over there. I will come hang out but I probably wont put my car on the track, at least not yet.

yeah, i have officially given up on the torque brace. also, me arguing with my woman prevented me from coming out this past weekend *balls shrinking* my car has been running very well lately, i dont know why. I've only used v-power for like 2 straight months now, maybe it is better. I have also been having random boners thinking about the 7k RL, anyone else?
