I won't be able to make it, I think I'm keeping my Civ under wraps until it's further in it's building stages..
Perhaps you can catch me up there next month...

Tempting, but it's a long drive out there - something I'd rather do on a Friday where I don't have to worry about work in the morning...
Blk4blk2k1: Don't let that second run get you down man! I'm sure your car can do better even with small mods here and there...It's all in the launch -
Just to preface that, Krepoort and I did a lil experiment, and while I'm better at the launch, he's faster after it. I got the jump on him 2 out of 3 times (the third time I misshifted and did a little grinding into 2nd gear).
Krepoort: 2k2 EX Sedan automatic
Me: 97 DX Coupe manual
But I think once he and I take it to the track, we'll get a better sense of what both cars can do...

Correction.
1st time, I got kinda excited and took off horribly. Took the pedal to the floor and had no acceleration. All you.
2nd time, you grinded so I had that all the way.
3rd time, I was trying to tell you my radar detector was going crazy and when I was looking at you, you took off, so I said "F it" and took off after you. I was gaining on you but slowed cause there was some traffic coming up.

Sore looser! We'll see on the track soon enough f00!

By the way, does anyone know if you can choose who you race against at Epping? Or is it line up and take your chances? I don't mind losing, but I'd hate to be spanked hardcore...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

I noticed the cars were pretty evenly matched. Maybe you can mention who you want to race with. Although if you don't have any idea they probably pair you up with someone. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

It's basically 50/50.
My first run was against my friend fro ClubSi.. It wasn't planned just happened.
My suggestion: get in line behind him and once your line starts moving, one of you go to the left lane and the other to the right one; hopefully the amount of cars in front of you do the same and you'll race each other.

<< I think I might go tomorrow though if anyone else is...give me a shout out! >>
I sort of want to, but I think I'll work on my car a little. I have to repair the remote trunk release and my right window won't roll down. Then I have to take out these useless pieces of metal that I was talking about in the Tech Stuff forum. I'll post pics too. Then I have to fix the trunk shocks so that they open up the trunk a little more. Lots to do...
Boost: What do you have again? Is it an LX? If so, then that's nice. Stock?

Agh! I'm busy still for this weekend...looks like I'll be out of action for a little bit, at least until the end of the month. My brother's moving out of our apartment, so after that, I should have a little more flexibility...
And it don't help that I've been sick since the weekend
