Wanted: 4x114.3 14" Steelies

Post by Georgethefierce » Mon Mar 09, 2009 3:42 pm

as many as you have, in pretty much any condition....even if they aren't steelies I'd be interested.....also interested in 14" all season tires.....nothing wider than 195 and nothing shorter than 60 (I KNOW!)

if you have any crap you want to get rid of, I need this crap.

Thanks for playing

Hey George,

Did you decide on running enduros? You might learn more running the roadrunners or the allstar fast fours. The carnage is less and the other drivers may give you more room if you do the same. If you want more seat time, allstar has single car practice on wed. If you have any questions, you can PM me hear.

Good luck

Jonathan

Jonathan,

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing enduros just so I can go out be competitive, the car was cheap, as really beat on the outside so I'm not afraid of it getting more banged up, I just don't think I'd be competitive in the Road runner class with the guys running hot cams and such, so we'll throw some junky street tires at it and see what happens....We're going to run at Monadnock as often as I can get the car up there



here's a pic of the beauty for reference!

and no fear....there is pink in the future for this one too!

Hey looks cool and a pretty good deal for a grand. I don't know how the enduros are now, but when I ran them, they were absolutely insane. Each race ran 150 laps, started 100+ cars, payed $1000 to win, no caution laps, and only red flagged the race to clear the junk cars off the track, therefore the people who won consistently where extreamly prepared with pit crews, car prep, and spare parts. Have fun.

I understand that yesterday was your first track day with the new Pink car.

How did it go and what did the other drivers think of the paint scheme?

Boy I'm sure glad that wasn't my Tow Dolly you were driving over. Seems like you are getting advice (and not much help) from your "Crew".

I heard the infield / parking area was aliitle muddy - did you get any pictures of that?

They kind of look like my SE-R after WGI a few years ago.
