[chuckracer442]

can i call in sick to the army? lol damn, they'll send the cops after me... :( have fun, i'll check out the course post event

[PoisonBeef]

Here's hoping I have at least one running Saab by then.

[PoisonBeef]

Wait, do I need 3rd or forth gear for ice racing?

[slowgls]

it time to get a little slideways.

[Saab-ert]

Wait, do I need 3rd or forth gear for ice racing?

Only if you WANT 3rd or 4th.....and to get there, if you can go 1-2-5th and that's fine with you, no one else cares haha

[PoisonBeef]

I have been driving with no 3rd/4th for 3 weeks.

On the ice do I need it? or is this like autox where 2nd is about all you need.

[Kiesgen117]

depends on car, tires and driver, most likely if your not studded you wont need anything over second.

[mannac]

I never left 2nd gear. I went to 3rd a few times but always wanted to be back to 2nd right away.

[mannac]

How thick is the ice out there?

[Hille]

How thick is the ice out there?

Ken checked and it was 10" thick last Monday. He will be checking again before this Sunday.

Click on the link for the ice thickness report.

[austin]

cant wait

[velocityhead]

Oooh it's awfully close..

[Dizmm]

how about we send ken out there with his big truck and plow for an hour. if he doesnt fall through, we run, if he does, we leave and get some chipotli's

[Hille]

, if he does, we leave and get some chipotli's

Sounds good.

Chipotlis=Bad. The chicken burrito made it on a list as one of the worst fast foods you can eat.

I vote for Fuddruckers or Texas Road House.

[Kiesgen117]

Texas roadhouse FTW!!!

[Dizmm]

Texas roadhouse FTW!!!

fine, ^ this guy wins.

[Dizmm]

Sounds good.

Chipotlis=Bad. The chicken burrito made it on a list as one of the worst fast foods you can eat.

Thats probably because you get 3X the food in one portion.

[Hille]

True.

[Sleepy]

I'll be there. I wont be running anything as my front tires are bald and my rears are nearly so. Hopefully next week I can get the Saab mounted with the Blizzaks sitting in my backseat. Anyone know of a cheap reputable tire place for mounting/balancing? Also anyone who can straighten a rim in the green bay/appleton/oshkosh area?

[SgtRauksauff]

balancing? who balances tires? I haven't run a balanced tire in 2+ years, and haven't had any issues. Of course, at around 83mph, there IS a slight shimmy that becomes apparent at about 83mph. Which is fine, because those 155/80-13's shouldn't go that fast anyway.

Interesting note, that size Winterforce tire is only 31 bucks each at Tire Rack. lol!! I should downgrade the brakes on my other mazdas, just to be able to run the 13's in winter!!

I may be there, but there's a good chance that I'll end up missing the first event, if the ice is thick enough this weekend.

[u3b3rg33k]

You'll feel different when said vibration occurs between 55-60.

[loudes13]

I'll be there with my black crx with menards.

[Dizmm]

i have a tire changer and no balancer, i try to get away without balancing, but I seem to have about a 75% chance that balancing is needed.

[Sleepy]

When you have a bent rim... You want your tires balanced after the said rim is fixed.

[PoisonBeef]

I didn't balance my snow tires after I swapped around rims.

About two weeks later I did. It was bad, mmmkay?

[02rexwi]

When's the event starting?

[Hille]

9:00am - Open Practice
10:30am - Drivers Meeting

From the North:
Exit US41 at Breezewood lane, head east on South Park about 1 mile until you see McDonalds Turn right here onto County A, follow south about 4 miles Follow left at the County Boat Landing signs On the ice, follow around the point on your left and head north, the FVSCC is in the nearest bay.

From the South:
Exit US41 at US76, head south about 1 mile with fairgrounds on your left Turn left at County Y (first light) and go about 2 miles to stop sign Turn left onto County A and head about 3 miles north Follow right at the County Boat Landing signs On the ice, follow around the point on your left and head north, the FVSCC is in the nearest bay.

Thanks Tom!

[nuskool]

Walmart for mounting tires.
Alloy wheel repair specialists 378-4025

[oddballmazda]

Can't make it tomorrow but i'm looking forward to see some great shots! Be safe everyone!

[chuckracer442]

as a wal mart associate... go to fleet farm for mount and balanced tires, only $9 a tire compared to walmarts 15, Hey tom, I might get out of drills early tommorow at around 1, if you guys are still running and I make it out there would there be a chance for me to late register, like really late lol

[spartan]

How late do the races normally go?

[chuckracer442]

about 2-3 hours after first car out

[PoisonBeef]

I'll be at work till almost 11am, but maybe I'll swing down just to put some miles on the new chasis and check this thing out.

[SgtRauksauff]

lol, I was being a bit facetious about the whole no-balance thing. Granted, with todays manufacturing methods, the tires and wheels are MUCH more balanced than they used to be back in the 70's, so not as much is needed usually, but it's still a good idea to do. unbalance causes vibration, and even if you don't feel it, your drivetrain does, and gets prematurely worn because of it..

Hey did you record my times for the late arrival, I just wanna see them to compare with the other drivers, I know there isn't any average or anything, its just a good judgement measure

[nuskool]

Wow that is a good price.
I have a guy that does it for me for pretty cheap, but he doesn't want tme to share his name. But last time he didn't have the right cone for balancing the rims I have. I called 3 places for balancing prices. 1 @ $7.00 ea, 1 @ $8.00 ea and Walmart @ $5.00 ea. I'll have to keep Fleet Farm in mind.
