TLMC event July 19th

[~[MPR]~]

Who's going to the next TLMC event this Sunday?

MR2 is finally done and put back together. Will be interesting to see how it runs on the track.

btw, this is my 1st post on here....hi everyone!

I know some of you from TLMC and regionals. To everyone else...nice to meet you.

I'll be there. I'll still be slow as crap in my class, but i'll be there having fun! It's frickin' tough to not be dead-last when everyone else is running R-comps. Oh well, they'll be in the budget for next year. I'm just going to focus on smoothing out my driving and getting faster with what i've got.

It was a bit disheartening when I checked the times list, and saw that I got soundly trounced by Frank in his Echo though. It just shows though that good driver + good tires trumps power any day.

Well, lets HOPE it holds up this weekend. Shannonville Friday, Picton Sat, and then TLMC Sunday. If she holds up, it will be nice to see how the change holds up to the rest of the drivers.

After a less than stellar performance at Peterborough last Sunday I'm going to be looking for some sort of make up...it will definitely be nice to use 2nd gear again

Can someone make sure there's no rain...

I will be showing up. First post here also.

Quick question, my car is otherwise stock except for a sway bar on the rear. Will that bump me up to a street prepared class?

ST1.

Those tires will not push you to SP. Looking foreward to seeing you out. The HHR SS we had out on stock tires had some... problems with traction ...

For those wondering, the results from event 2 and event 3 are posted on the website.

Haha yeah... Ive had that problem, solution is to ignore first gear.

He might not have had the LSD though.

Thanks!

Ahh, yes that would do it 45 lb/ft more torque at 2000 rpm would cause quite a problem

Luckily/Unfortunately (depending how you look at it) they have not released stage 1 for the Cobalt yet

[max attack]

I'll be there,copper corolla is officially finished its motorsports career.

I thought to be fair I'd bring last years ice race civic,going to be weird with wrong wheel drive on asphalt though.

It's the exact same car, shouldn't matter. Maybe just order the stage 1 for the HHR SS and install it on your cobalt? lol.

It's alot of power being put through the front wheels, that's for sure.
