Auto-Cross on the 25th at the Dome

[My NOva]

kirk ull do fine u are a good driver

[stephen bradley]

35 miles of powerlines went down in devils lake (stupid thunderstorms) so I am stuck here until we finish.
Crossing the fingers we can finish before Sat.

[Flowcus]

Kick it into overdrive... drink some red bulls or something dude. I wanna watch some evo's and wrx's rip it up!

Im still searching for some new tires... I dont wanna spend $400 on a set of new rubber but if I have to... I guess I will. No point in wasting my winter tires down to nothing, and I could use some sticky rubber for aut-x and drags.

[PSiedTSi]

i will be there with the S14 as long as its running right...im thinking of getting it dyno tuned tomorrow right after i pick it up

S14? I hope thats not the supra powered car you speak of in your sig....if you put a supra engine in an S14 id have to slap you and take those tires! Go RB26DETT like that one at autovations last year...

[PSiedTSi]

no RB for me...its got its issues right now but we are working on them before i leave...

[KA-T_240]

ill be there watching. my brakes are beyond shot, id rather spend the 500-600 for the brakes i want after i get motor swap done and running again.

[thezachattack240]

I'll be there. This will be my first auto-x and I can't wait to run with my blown struts. Gonna have body roll like mad probably. Hopefully I can get my ruca's in before saturday. Does anyone know if they have loaner helmets or anything? It should be fun though even though I have a feeling I'll get rocked, but its all good.

That's just a rough summary if anybody cares. And I got this off a 240 forum hence all the nissan talk throughout it. I'm sure the same rules apply to other cars though. See everyone out there.

I will be there and running so long as I can get into a loaner helmet. I'll also have a digital camcorder and digital camera so if anyone wants in car video or pictures taken at certain corners let me know. I'll of course be in a red mazda6 wagon.

[Sweet-WRX-Lovin]

You gotta have a helmet? If so that knocks me out for sure.

[mym6]

I asked the question and it was answered as so --> http://fargostreet.com/showpost.php?p=1864&postcount=7

[Flowcus]

Well I have a couple of helmets so I can bring a spare for anyone if I run... need new tires first.

[musthavemuzk]

i have to come and watch now. i was not sure what to expect and well i am still not real sure, but it sure seems like a blast to watch.
so count me and my digital camera there as well.

[92TSIpos]

damn it. I buy $1000 coilovers and my car blows up. WTF. Well if there are any DSMs that wanna compete with bad ass suspension hit me up.............please

[JDMSTi]

wish i could be there but im gunna be in Texas for a week, and I still have my winter tires on the RS...I need new tires and then i'll run in SM i beleive this year

[wa2fastcamaro]

I was going to run, but sounds like too mant people are going to be there. I liked it when there were no more than 20 of us running. But with talks of record numbers, I'm out. Gunna watch though, and play with my RC cars.

[Flowcus]

Im sure its going to be a nice long event... And 20-30 people isnt really that many! Ever been to an Auto-x in the cities? I watched one and there must have been over 100 cars with 2 courses... it was retarted.

[musthavemuzk]

should be good with 2 or 50 cars. then again this will be my first and well i enjoy car related functions. so i am good to go. now get here already....geez
