Track Night Friday Feb. 5th San Antonio Raceway
 
Copy from e90post.com:

----------------------------------------------------

With the weather getting a little nicer in Central Texas lately...

So I am looking to get a big turn out for the test and tune night...
The track is an awesome place, nice launch pad of concrete.
The gates open at 6:00 pm, time trials start at 6:30 pm and the track closes at 11 pm..

For the guys in Austin and Killeen that would like to drive down together..
Lets try to decide on a time to meet up and leave Austin.

It takes approx. 1 hour to get from the NW side of Austin (near cedar park) to get to the track in San Antonio..

Welcome to San Antonio Raceway

So lets start a list of people that would like to meet up at the track that night to run..

Need a helmet for 14.00 and faster.
The cost is $20 to run and $10 to watch..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 of us + 1 370z so far.

85% sure i can make it this time.

batman_4 02-01-2010 11:51 AM

nvm. faster than a 14 requires a helmet is weak, good thing my friend didn't sell his bike helmet.

theDreamer 02-01-2010 12:27 PM

Below 14 needs a helmet, damn that sucks. I will be unable to attend, have plans that weekend.

vipor 02-01-2010 12:29 PM

I'll be at MotorSport Ranch, driving my Z like it's supposed to be driven. lol :stirthepot:

ianthegreat 02-01-2010 07:23 PM

I have a helmet you can use. And I have a huge head so it's going to fit you if you don't mind sharing. Only used it twice!

Artomes1 02-03-2010 09:54 AM

Are you guys still meeting up at the track? It might be closed with all this rain we've been having, if its not I might be able to join you i have a 370z.

batman_4 02-03-2010 11:10 AM

^ nice! more 370s

ianthegreat 02-03-2010 11:11 AM

The weather now shows a 0-10% (basically not raining) chance and the humidity keeps going down. It's going to be cool and dry guys!

I've been checking the hourly forecast for the past few days. So far, it's updated to 10:00am on Feb 5th.

It'll be good to meet ya. :tup:

I think the majority of us will be there between 6:00 and 7:00. I'll get with my buddy in here who lives in SA and see what he is doing. AFAIK, meet at the track.

ianthegreat 02-05-2010 08:11 AM

Last call.. don't forget long pants, shoes (no sandals), helmet if you have one, and an empty tank! Bring cash to get in and cash if you are buying fuel there.

batman_4 02-05-2010 11:07 AM

sun is now out...:tup:

time for us 370s to get owned by the 335s as most seem modded :tiphat:

Artomes1 02-05-2010 11:28 AM

You guys think it would be smart to run the car with only 500 miles on it?:icon17:

vipor 02-05-2010 11:32 AM

I'm sure your car will be fine. It's not recommended of course, but I've seen fresh motors on the dyno. This isn't a 4-bolt small block, the tolerances are a lot more precise and the concept of seating rings is pretty much gone. Many people on here have thrown the break-in process out the window and had no issues.

Just make sure you have oil since you're probably still in the burning stage a little.

Rickey89 02-05-2010 12:20 PM

Such a nice day for z fun

ianthegreat 02-05-2010 01:55 PM

2 more 335i's have texted me that they are coming up from Houston also.

It's so nice out, can't wait to get out of this office!!

Sounds like the Mustang guys I have gone with before.
"Oh yes we are 100% stock..."
Wait what tires are those, and where is the back seat, and why is there a parachute on the rear? (Ok the last one I made up :p)

so are you guys meeting up?

ianthegreat 02-06-2010 10:47 AM

Well i think my best of the night was a 13.2 with an average of 14.2 hahaha. Track officials said water was seeping up through the track because of all the rain San Antonio previous had. Best 60ft was a 2.2 - barf.

batman_4 02-06-2010 10:55 PM

horrible runs for me. best i ran was a 14.4 with all 2.5 60fts and of course traction issues we all had :shakes head:
