So, the last few months have been crazy busy for me. I have been concentrating on my house more then my car.

But this coming Wednesday I am planning on going to the test and tune at Lucas Oil Raceway. That's the old Indianapolis raceway park. Gonna make a few passes and see how she goes.

I believe it starts at 7. Hope to see some of you guys there.

I should be able to make it out there. My trip to Texas has been delayed until next week.

I've never been to one of the open runs. I won't run my car, but would like to see what yours can do.

already have plans that day :(

last weekend my friend and I took his STI and my Z to a nice Touge and had a Best Motoring style battle lol I won against the stage 2 STI but my oil temp reached 265, while blasting heat inside lol

so, anyone interested in going to the Tail of the Dragon in Tenessee?

nvm did more research, instant jail

What do you mean by instant jail? I've heard that the cops are pretty cool as long as you aren't being reckless and as long as you keep it on the dragon.

I am planning on going out there in October.

As for the drag strip... Not happening tomorrow. I checked the schedule and it looks like the big boys are in town this week. Mac Tools US Nationals.

It'll have to be sometime in September.

speed limit is 30 lol... im pretty sure i'd be hitting 80-100 on straights

Have you seen a map of the dragon? Not a chance of hitting those speeds in a car. Maybe a bike. I haven't been there myself but my father took his camaro there and said he never got out of second gear.

Do it!! :D

lol i hit 120 in lafayette touge. maybe dragon is diff, yah maybe we'll go check it out, roadtrip or something

I was at the dragon in the Z a couple of months ago and there's no way to get too fast through the dragon. It's nothing but constant turns. There are a few straight points toward the end. The highway leading up to the dragon is fun though. Definitely easy to be doing 100+ in those turns.

A good practice road is 135 south of Brown County towards Story, IN. Also highway 45 going towards Bloomington. Maybe we could gather a drive down there some weekend.

I'd be up for that. I do have Sunday September 18th off. Let's see if that works.

Sorry to make it all about me and my time off but it is very rare that I get a weekend, or even a weekend day off.

As of right now that should work for me, but my travel schedule is always changing at work.

Here's the drive that I've done with other car clubs.

Columbus, IN to Bloomington, IN - Google Maps

yah, my friend and I have always wanted to go there. I'm downnnn

one thing though... my fiance and i r getting married in December, so I have no $ to do anything on my car right now...

last touge @ purdue my oil temp went up to 265, i changed it to Rotella T6 5w40, doesn't seem like its helping much either... :( i need an oil cooler

what is this touge in Lafayette you speak of? I am from Purdue and have no idea what you are referring to.

the area around Eisenhower Road. Doesn't look that good on map, but its actually pretty nice there

Nice, I will have to check that out this weekend.
