Yes, I'm about to head out and find a helmet right now. I'll let you know what I find out.

Sucks about all the misfire issues you've been having. Are these issues still persistent from the last time we talked or are these more recent?

You can get race gas (Trick 101) at the pump at the 76 station at 1725 Auburn Way N., Auburn, WA 98071. You can also get Sunoco (unsure of the octane rating) right at Pacific.

Last I heard, it was just me and Tony for sure. George said he might make it. Ravi said he'd go but I think just to watch. I'll be there right at 4pm.

I will go on Friday but probably around 6. I won't get back in town till 5.
I'll give either you or David a call before I head down there.

So you going tonight? I'm sitting at home doing nothing. I would go if you are going.

Cool, yea we can meet at my house since I'm just a few miles from the track. Tony is down to go as long as work permits. Might be later than 4 I think he said.

Nice! I can't go tonight without a helmet. By the time I find one, which I hope I do, it'll prolly be too late.

I just found out that I'll actually get back in town by 3 or 3:30 so I'll get there by 4:30 the latest.
What time do they close? 8? 9?

[ericsmc83]

I think they go til at least 11, but I'm not 100% on that. It's later than 9 though.

This is the helmet I picked up today:
http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...07CENT-BLU-2XL

Reviews were saying it's decent for an entry level type helmet. Seems to fit pretty comfortably, and it's Snell 2010 certified.

[thwgw24]

wow, that is cheap!! My motorcycle helmet cost me almost $400 when I purchased it back in 2005.
So as long as it's SNELL certified, even though it's design for bike, you can use it on car racing as well?

[ericsmc83]

As far as I know. The only thing in their rules says under 13.99 requires a helmet minimum Snell 2000.

[ericsmc83]

Bump for today. Starts at 4!

[hun77777]

man, i couldn't find the helmet in time... guess i'll just have to borrow? so should i get down to your place by 4?

how long are you planning to be there? i'll most likely leave around 6 or 7 so...

[Dirnegrey]

I'll be there to, but not sure whether to run my car or not.

[ericsmc83]

Today was a blast right up til the end when one car spilled oil all over the track and another caught fire. Still got 5 runs in!

But I'm glad everyone got to make it out! We gotta do this more before they close up for the year!

[hun77777]

man, i wish i really break into 12 but it looks like best i could to was 13.1...argh...

eric, can u send me those codes that i got? imma look it up. or you can look it up and let me know too lol

[ericsmc83]

I got to say that was a lot of fun even though we didn't get the time we like except for Eric. We really need to do this again. e9x really did represent at PR.

For sure!

I think I might head back over either Wednesday or Friday next week. I was talking to Shiv last night, and he gave me some pointers about settings for the track. He also told me why I was having those shift "lag" issues, which weren't actually lag but had to do with the progressive meth delay after upshifting. I must shift too slowly for the boost to hold between shifts.

Anyway, Shiv is releasing new maps "later next week" that are more aggressive above 5k RPM, so I might wait for those before going back, perhaps Friday again?
