Almost ready for new season at LVD

[JimInNY]

Got my aluminum driveshaft installed today, did the lightweight radiator support/sway bar delete last week. new Accel Super Coils installed, and will be running my Mickey Thompson ET Drags this year now that I found 17 inch bias ply skinnies for the front.

I think 11s are within reach since I did hit 12.24 at the end of last year. I think the ET drags should lower my 60 foot times a tenth, and the other mods another coupla tenths, so....

Oh yeah, I bought the worlds most expensive dog house today. Almost 6 grand. It's a 20X8.5 foot enclosed car trailer, so I have a place for my dog to hang out at LVD while I'm making a run. This way I won't have to worry about having someone watch the dog for me.

Anyone else going to be a regular at LVD this year?

Only if I get a 6pt cage in this year. Not sure if they'd let me run the 1/8th.

Fu_kin' convertible. :nono:

 

[JimInNY]

Well, get the 6 pointer! What are you waiting for? It's only money! lol

Lol. Toss Bert a few bills then. I'll have my hand out waiting too lol.

If I didn't buy that damned dog house. lol

 

[Noterminator]

Return it lol. I won't mind.

Then I won't be going to the races this year.

Last year, the daughter of one of the guys from my shop wold watch the dog on Sundays. He's old. 17 now, and can't be left home for 12 hours or more at his age. Anyway the guy would take the dog home with him Saturday night, and bring him back Monday morning and I would pay his daughter to take care of the dog.

They moved away to PA though, so I'm stuck without a dog sitter.

I'm going to leave the trailer at LVD empty this year, and drive the car to the track like last year, but I will have dog's bed and a doggie gate to keep him in the trailer during runs.

 

[JimInNY]

Then I'll use the trailer to haul my Fairlane to LVD when it's done, next year.

I'm hoping to work one in before fall but I've already threw a ton of money into it this year ... http://www.newyorkmustangs.com/forums/build-begins-t32703.html. Still got to keep the other half happy too.

Lol. Toss Bert a few bills then. I'll have my hand out waiting too lol.

I'll accept sponserships. Got room on the side of the SFC's for logos/signage.

I can't wait to get my car together and back down to lvd, I don't believe I made it one time last year... I have a goal of joining the 12 sec club this season! Lol

​

 

[JimInNY]

I hope you make it this year!

I was in the 12 second club last year. This year I hope to break into the 11s.

 

[modularmustang]

I defiantly want to go at least once this year! I'm hoping to get into the 12's this year as well!

Todd, whats going on with your car?

 

[Noterminator]

I may possibly come down this year. Depends on weather I buy a car or if I wait it out until next year. So only time will tell at this point.

When I get my new car I am hoping to get it into the 11s also, we will see how well that works though lol

It's not as easy as some people make it seem.

Ryan, how's life treating ya out there. Definitely come out for a track day this year. I can always shoot the video's if they won't let me run the 1/8th.

Hey Bert,
Lifes good, can't complain. I really want to make it out this year for sure. there is a guy at work with a 2012 or 2013 civic si that wants to race me so i'll have to school him

I really need new rear tires though, these three year old sumi's are basically shot...

Sounds like some BFG KDW 2's are needed now.

I'm probably going with a street tire since i autocross from time to time. its between the dunlop direzza star spec z1, kumho ecsta xs and yokohama s drive. Lending toward the S drives since they have a 300 UTQG rating so theyll last me a bit and are decently cheap. Only thing is that I can't get a 315/35/17 with any of these tires so I'll be stuck with a 275/40/17
