Sorry to hear about your steering response problems. Chris may have some points about wearing off the slick coating but to be honest I loved every aspect of mine from the moment I left the shop. No issues what so ever.

As for the drags bring whoever u want I think I got 3 or 4 wanting to roll down with me. The gtr also has the fastest stock time on gtr life.com haha just realized that and he just added full intake exhaust and e85 so it's gonna be a monster. Hoping the LFA rolls too even just to look at more. It is beautiful in person.

you need nothing but the $25 to race and other cash if you want food or drinks. they have a small snack/drink stand in the vendor area. thats all i ever take.

gates open at 11:30 AM they do a drivers meeting around 1PM mostly for new people but all they really say is a long winded explanation of how things run there.

when i roll alone i usually dont get there til 1:30 but with people interested in going as well i have no problem rolling down earlier.

simply it is you go up to the staging lanes as a pair if you're running someone then once the starter sends you then you drive around to the line and run.

if you have no one specific to run and want to race there is a singles lane. pretty much standard stuff lol

there is a burnout pit with water if you need it (i usually drive around as best i can) then they added last year a very nice launch pad (much better than the plain runway). line up where the guys runnin the line tell you to stop. wait for the LED bar to light up and GO lol there is a red/blue finish/win light tree at the end. very visible in a rear view mirror to see if you won or not.

as of now i think i got 2 pgh C&C guys coming maybe a 3rd but its a last minute thing for them. hopefully get the GTR monster there and possibly the LFA lol

where are you coming from? and what time would you like to head down there?

once i get firm yes's from these other guys close to me and see if they wanna roll down together i'll have a better idea on that time frame as well. i will know more tomorrow when i see them all at the PGH C&C in the morning. most i talked to already said they have a few things to do or whatever and will just be meeting me at the races.

sweet, not sure what time we will leave, about an hour drive for us...I will have a civic si with me...and Shane finally got his neon on the road, but he cant race it, it needs tuned and he is breaking in the freshly build and balanced motor...will be running 25 psi and 500+ wheel horse...its crazy.

Still on the fence about the tires, they are probably livable but there is tire roll in the corners, no doubt. Unless someone local would want these, I will probably live with it for this year, I would mount and balance them on a car for 1100 bucks if anyone is interested haha.

It takes me just under a hour to get there. Most likely ill be rolling alone maybe meeting a couple guys in Washington if they decide to go as well. I'm shooting to be there around 1 give or take.

You sure you got the right tires and not knock offs? Lol mine are amazing

I may be over exaggerating the situation, I just did not expect there to be tire roll with these, I did some test runs and speed is the the same as before on some rural twisties, but I can feel just that tiny bit of roll on the sidewalls that was not present before...the grip is phenomenal and they ride way better than the bridgestones, but with how picky I an with the car, most might not even notice what I am experiencing, but the car had such a GINORMOUS bump in handling from the konis, I think it is making the change more noticeable.

that is one hell of a run-on.

I saw a gun metallic nismo(I think, I was passing it by at a gas station) in Latrobe 2 nights ago, and passed a MB at the Slate Run road intersection today in Gburg.

Well didn't make it down, the civic that was coming decided to no longer wanted to run after it was re flashed last night...did not want to take a re flash, flipping hondas. I have also put in a case with Michelin, if they will not swap these out under the Michelin promise plan I am going to sell them, so if anyone local wants them I will sell them at a slight loss, and I can mount and blaance them for free if you come to my shop in Greensburg. They are the Pilot Super Sports 265/35/19 and 295/30/19.

It was a good day man lots of cars. Sadly I had a bad day couldn't find traction all day. Was even spinning in 3rd.

Sucks about your tires bro
