how many intermediate/advanced drivers want to join please raise your hand and if there is enough then I will allow it if there is enough ppl atleast 10.

[longdy]

well i guess i'd be #1 on that list.(Speed_RacerX-Anthony)

well.. the newbies that are new to the track could grip the first half to get used to the track then drift during the second session. that's what i was planning on doing.

i as in Anthony aka Speed_RacerX

i went to the march 3rd HTM event with 626....i saw some with roll cages, but not all. and when i say some, i mean less than a 1/3.

[Suk02Si]

I didn't have my cage in when I went to HTM back in Jan. I want to do this event if I finish my car by then, we'll see.

[yusuke1923]

hey what do those rich boys do? What career they do? lol!

[Sliders562]

interesting let me ponder about it ^_^

[k's_silvia2.0]

I say no cages Jon. I mean you just have to drive within your means.

[Sliders562]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Sliders562]

awesome got some drivers coming in awesome. if its grip u can have all the laps you want. its like a all u can drive grip buffet lol

[speed_racerx]

oh man.. cant wait to get on htm.

[ericcastro]

we dont run cages at 626. no reason. just dont try and drift the water tower, (they frown on it anyways now days).

If you have a convertable, then probably a cage.

balcony full unless on wait list.

i have work 2nite so i can't make it to pipeline 2nite

i will be @ pipeline collecting more payments july 10th

[ESPfuel815]

Oh good. If you're going to be at Pipeline this week then I can probably just pay you off for the rest of my entry and Travis can pay you for the rest of his. Whats the update on the grip spots? I'm trying to find a few more bodies and cars to fill those spots.

How many out of how many total are filled currently?

[Sliders562]

we still need a lot >_<

see ya the thursday coming up, i will park at the right place so i won't be told to go home early, but i still gonna get a plate of sushi haha

[ericcastro]

So is this gonna be a drift/grip event like the 626DRIFT guys run???

If its grip, you sure as shit better not put bikes on the track at the same time as cars!!

your drivers dont seem worried about thier ability on the track.

626 did thier first event there as a drift. ya just attack the corners as a, single, 180 degree drift. Then as you get it down, you try and connect em.
HTm is REALLY easy.

And what are all these "cliffs" you keep talking about flying off of??

[UNITEDMASTER]

^^^^^ If your going clockwise, the uphill sweeper is the part where you can go off the hill.

[ericcastro]

^ the first one??? The second uphill sweeper is where to start, the first 2 single corners are a waste of tires and gas. IMO
they are good your first couple runs to get the feel, but save that rubber for the 2nd corner on the top.

Here is a little video of my SOHC. And I drifted the bottom corner just cause I was filming. Top corner is a 3rd gear entry with ebrak, to 2nd gear downshift, clutch lock, the feather it around. Flick the car back and floor 2nd, when its about to catch again, ebrake and hold it, and hold it, and hold it, and floor it!

the spin out is right after a 3rd gear upshift with to much angle.

Yeah, think i need to try that, so I can hold that drift just a litttle longer. I hate haveing to drag the ebrake for so long. Jeff(turns101) gave me some advice on pressure and suspension set up for low HP.



And Jon, I was thinking of trying this event. But Im not drifting till the cars back in order, turbo'd and I got a daily.
sorry mang
