Darlington - Saturday 6/7/08
 
Several of us are going to Darlington on Saturday. Hopefully we can get a large group together. Richard Head, Slow 04, Lurch, myself are confirmed. Who else can make it?

There should be atleast two trailers there. I know in the past they guys have said if anyone should break they would drive there truck home and trailer who ever is broke. But Ill let them speak for themselves.

BTW is Lurch going to bring the White truck?

Also is there a meeting place and time or is everybody going to fend for themselves?

I am borrowing a trailer, but will help out any way possible. You're part of our group, man! :bigthumb: I've been wanting to see your car for a long time.

Oh yeah,

Ive never been to Darlington. What kind of tech inspection do they have? Is it strict or lax?

What would I need according to them if i run a 12.5? If Im not up to par I really dont want to waist the gas to find out I cant race.

It's pretty lax, but you do need a D.S. loop to run slicks.

Well I guess I wont be there then:cry:

Mike 06-03-2008 10:54 PM

well maybe you could get by with mounting the slicks after the tech inspection.

Do you think its worth the chance and possibly not being able to run after a long ride?

Whaler 06-03-2008 11:03 PM

Get some drag radials. They will work just as well for you as slicks.

OK hold on I do have to take a shit anyways:hysterical:

With as low as my truck is anyways how could they check? Do they have an insect of some sort crawling under there and reporting back?

Maybe someone can store my slicks in the back of there truck?

I hate to hurt your feelings, but many race cars they see make your truck look like a 4x4.

We have plenty of room for your tires.

Thats what I wanted to hear!

Now if you stored my tires would i pass tech?

Keep in mind Ive never been through tech at any track so I dont know whats involved.

Mike 06-03-2008 11:31 PM

I drove to the tech area with my truck still on the trailer. They looked underneath for loop, after noticing slicks. That was the extent of the tech.

But you had a loop?

I dont.

Mike 06-03-2008 11:41 PM

If you don't have slicks on at the time of tech you should be good to go.
