[Blwn_By_Twins]

NICE!!! Hope we have some nice weather to go with it!

[06MREvo]

I'll be there...just signed up... :)

[Joker]

Thats some BS. MBME was going to do it there, where did SCCA get the idea from?
Ima kill Greg.

[EVOIXMR]

idk where they got the idea but Greg and CD are the ones that set it all up, lol.
Actually it might be better that they will do it first, then you can see how it is, and it would help MBME hold one later on at that site.
like a dry run kinda.

I can't wait, I've been having autoX DT's... lol :leright:

[the6]

ill make an apperance

[STi Girl]

I'll be there, signed up already! :thumb:

[FourSix]

Hmmm... Maybe I will be able to do this.

Greg got the idea from me.
He was suppose to be helping me and George set it up for the past summer but we didnt get the approval from the city in time to do all the advertisments and just get ready over all.

[06MREvo]

So it looks like there are 2 evos and an STi signed up already...who else is gonna sign up for the autox?? If you have never done an autox event before i suggest signing up and trying it out...you learn a lot about you and your car even though you may not hit over 50mph, depending on how the course is setup...

[Joker]

I might be in.

[tmon930]

i'd be in if fire school wasn't on saturday mornings. i'll be trying to do as many as i can after feb. i dont think there are many saturday sessions after feb.

[TheWhiteMach1]

FourSix... you need to do this... btw, nice seeing ya today, haha.

But still, im gonna be there for sure, not too sure if im gonna compete. Money is super tight... SUPER SUPER tight. But for sure, its a great time. The SCCA can really host an event! :)

[TheWhiteMach1]

But Yonnie is right, we really wanted to do an autocross there and brought it up to a whole range of people before taking to the SCCA about it. Its a great lot, but after inspecting it, its pretty torn up. There are huge cracks, pot holes, poles, and parking slabs and signs everywhere. Bad thing is, its gonna eat up your tires quick.

I dont know, we did get that course pretty nice without the potholes and shit.

[TheWhiteMach1]

ehhh... its iffy, im gonna def race now though, i made up my mind... YOU SHOULD TOO!!!

[Heapashifter]

I might go up there and watch.

[Joker]

ehhh... its iffy, im gonna def race now though, i made up my mind... YOU SHOULD TOO!!!

I am bro.

[TheWhiteMach1]

I am bro.

good... i wanna see you race with your new suspension mods... too bad you wont be in my class anymore, i wont be able to whoop ya as bad this time, haha.

[Joker]

What class you think they going to put me in?
You still going to be in STX?

[06MREvo]

nice...i'm glad there seems to be more interest in this now...

[ChevSSCamaro67]

I'd come with the car if I had tires and insurance lol

[Joker]

There has always been interest.
Hell the whole idea of having the autocross at the mall parking lot originally started from me when I didnt like George's location of using the old movie theater's parking lot.
Then me and him went out there and planned out a few course and some other things for a 2 day event with more then jsut autocross.

[EVOIXMR]

It'll be interesting to see how they plan the course out.
Hopefully it won't be too bad on tires.
Yok. R-Comps aint cheap, lol..

Should be fun.
Hopefully it's warm out.
Go autox and then watch the NFL playoffs afterward. ha.
gonna be a good day.

[FourSix]

Same to you, lol.

Money is really really tight here also but if I have it then I would love to enter. I will know before too, too much longer.

haha... who found the parking lot again??? I kinda remember me stumbling apon it when i took my midnight drive, then us meeting up there to see how it looked together cause i didnt wanna be caught alone in a parking lot that was closed off... HAHAHA...

the movie theater idea did suck though, but it put us on the right track.

[TheWhiteMach1]

Same to you, lol.

Yeah, its definitely worth it IMO, $30 isnt much, im just not gonna eat out for a week, haha.

[luvcntsaveyou]

maybe...

[TheWhiteMach1]

maybe...

Maybe?? haha... Even if i owned a wagoneer i would autocross it. Its amazing fun, and i would pay triple what they charge just to go out there and have some fun! :)

I remember I had the idea of the mall but you checked it out first :secret:

No point in arguing, the SCCA beat us to it... lets punch them in the face :)

[Joker]

Greg---->:) :piss: <----Us

[TheWhiteMach1]

lol... maybe your a monkey, but im pretty sure im not...

[STi Girl]

It just takes a long time to talk places into letting us auto x on thier property. SCCA does listen to everyones ideals and try to make them happen even if it's years later of bugging the people to let them do it. We need all the places we can get and that's way we need a lot to show up for the events and take care of the places we do get.

I hope to see a lot of you on here there, make it a good member turn out! :thumb:

Well we were going to do it without the SCCA, Greg was going to help us but we didnt have enough time to get the approval and advertise. It was also going to be a charity event as well for the humains society to help us do it.
But I guess Greg took our idea and got the SCCA either way I think im still going to be in it.:)

[STi Girl]

I can't wait, glad to see your going too! I'm glad we got that site it seems like a good place! That was cool you were trying to get it too.

[Heapashifter]

Maybe?? haha... Even if i owned a wagoneer i would autocross it. Its amazing fun, and i would pay triple what they charge just to go out there and have some fun! :)

You wouldn't autocross a jeep wrangler. There's no way it would stay right-side-up.

[mikevon40]

Ok I just want to clear a few things up. I believe you George or Yanni or whoever thought of the site first. I'm sorry SCCA got the site before you did, but realisticly someone was able to sweet talk B+C into letting us use the lot and dealing with B+C is no easy task. So ideally we need to come out have fun, leave the place better then what we found it. Also we can't have people acting crazy around the event. This will only cause us harm at using the place in the future. May it be with MBCE or SCCA. We all know someone who could be thta person so help them if they get the urge. Hell I get the urge, but I would prefer to come back to the site and have another event as it is better the MB Speedway.
So on that note enough said I will see everyone on Sunday the 11th. I will send out a challenge to Yanni and George. The challenge is my pax time will be better then yours. I'm rolling in DS with street tires in my Legacy are you up to the challenge?

Yea im up for the challenge, but I am not worried about who got to it first. I was only kidding around with Greg. Im really good friends with his son Chad. As for B & C, we were not worried about cause I know a girl whos Grandpa is up there near chairman of the board and he already said he would help us out. The thing that stopped us was we started in the end of the summer and was aiming for August/November to do it cause SCCA had a few more events and we didnt want it the same time as theirs. And to get the approval from the city there would of been a meeting to discuss it and it would of taken a month, then we needed time to advertise.

[06MREvo]

i just checked the entry list there are 24 people signed up so far and just me and Jamie in the street modified class....come on we need more people to sign up...

[EVOIXMR]

I Told Charlie to sign up but he hasn't yet.

All you other guys -Sign up,Sign up,Sign up,Sign up,Sign up,Sign up....

[mtdive]

[Surfstang2020]

Yeah hopfully I can come out there and at least watch

[Black Label Vette]

I'm on call for work that day but I'm going to try & get by to watch some of the racing!!!!

[Heapashifter]

I still plan on being there so I can hand out cards for both RS Speed Labs and Street Lethal Racing

[Joker]

I need more SLR cards.

[EPiK]

damn. congrats to Greg and the SCCA for landing this gig. Hell if I didnt have to work I'd be there. Thing is, I wanna run my gmc 3500 crew cab daily driver. :leright:

actually drifted it out a few times being late to work.. haha. real interested to se what i could do in that monster since the Lexus is ..umm not sorted for this type of venue.

[TheWhiteMach1]

its gonna be bawlsin, but its a month too soon for my springs :(

[06MREvo]

50 people pre-registered for the event...5 Evos in Street modified class alone...badass...will be 6 if Charlie signs up...

[EVOIXMR]

Lecon and Kiley are coming, sweet..
and i think the other siler evo is the guy that was at the last Speedway event.

Gonna be fun, just put my Rcomps on today...
Gotta take my speaker box out and other junk tonight..
And charge my video camera.

I cant wait to see the layout they come up with.
Should be interesting.
I hope the pavement is in decent shape.

[TonyD.]

ok guys, where exactly is the myrtle square mall? im not 2 familiar with the myrtle beach area

[EVOIXMR]

Between 21st and 27th avenues North and 17 business.

Actual address is:
2501 North Kings highway.
Google map it.

basically :
if you are coming from 501 into myrtle beach, take oak street or 17 business headed north til you get to 25th avenue north.
Big open lot, you cant miss it.

[06MREvo]

10 people signed up in SM class so far...probably 12 or more by Sunday...can't wait!

[FourSix]

I hope the pavement is in decent shape.

It's probably gonna be pretty rough. They havn't re-paved anything over there that I know of and they have stored alot of heavy equipment there a few times. Depending on which parking lot it is in it may be alright to piss poor.

Hopefully I am wrong though.

Doesn't look like I will be making this one unfortunatly. Got a few things to pay off and every buck counts, plus my rear tires are damn near treadless now and I need them to last JUST a little bit longer.

[Heapashifter]

My mullet is long gone son...:D




Good thing is the weather is holding off for you guys. If there is another event sometime in the somewhat near future my car should be in better shape to roll out and tear up some tires.

[Joker]

Last time I went it was raining the night before and I was in the group of the first runs and did it on a wet course FTW!!!

[Black Label Vette]

Went by there around 4 and it looked like it was wrapping up. There were 2 Go-karts running and most of the cars were gone. I didn't see any of the SLR members cars there.

[EKhatch]

yea they got done around 3:45 or 4

[06MREvo]

Yeah i've been home for like an hour or so now...I finished 2nd out of 11 in Street Modified class behind my buddy Kiley from Charleston...he beat me by 3 thousandths of a second...bastard...haha...

[Reaper]

[11secondsnake]

[Black Label Vette]

Why didn't you stop?????????????????

[11secondsnake]

[Black Label Vette]

I stopped but it was OVER!!!

[rek888v2]

So wheres the pics??? I had the CF and WRB STi that beat... oh.... everyone!

[///mcompact]

So wheres the pics??? I had the CF and WRB STi that beat... oh.... everyone!

You got FTD?

[06MREvo]

So wheres the pics??? I had the CF and WRB STi that beat... oh.... everyone!

everyone? haha...wait what was ur fastest time again?

[Heapashifter]

So wheres the pics??? I had the CF and WRB STi that beat... oh.... everyone!

There's actually 2 threads with pics

[pimpsmurf]

FTD was Chris's pro E stock MR2 n/a on rcomps.

I ran like shit. need a suspension. The porche (I think) has a video up on youtube showing the course. It was a great course, but very hard on "X-Prepared" sentras. haha.

I was the only XP class car there, but I couldn't keep up with the AWD on that slippery shit.

[Tirewarmer]

So wheres the pics??? I had the CF and WRB STi that beat... oh.... everyone!

Assphincter says what? Who is this everyone? :poke:

[rek888v2]

Im just screwing around... I beat most!

Whats the link to the pics?

[rek888v2]

42.1 for those keeping score.

My friend Mike hit a 41.1 in my car that day as well.

[Tirewarmer]

Im just screwing around... I beat most!

Whats the link to the pics?

Same here. No worries. :leright:

I ran a 41.3 in the miata during timed runs.

Which Mike got a 41.1? Was it during fun runs?

Chuck P. got dow to a 39.9 during funruns. That man can drive.

[06MREvo]

42.1 for those keeping score.

My friend Mike hit a 41.1 in my car that day as well.

not bad...I have the GG evo without all the CF stuff all over it...i had 2 high 41 second runs...fastest was a 41.8...i didn't think that was too bad considering if was my first autox with my cheap BC racing coilovers and the first autox i have done in 8 months....haha...only other suspension mods i have is a rear sway plus i had r compounds on the car too...everything else suspension & brake wise is stock...

[rek888v2]

Yeah, 15 months in Iraq and then comming back to AutoX is a bitch!

Im still learning the car as well. I came back and got my slicks and did all he suspension work at one time. So now its like driving a new car while trying toget all the rust out of my driving!

[pimpsmurf]

I was sucking ass w/ 46+second runs (IIRC)

Completely Stock suspension w/ shit tires. :D

Rcomps + coilovers would have had me way way down. I just couldn't make it turn. Worst of all was when I could actually get it to turn, it was only because the back was sliding around on all the dust and shit that came up when the place dried off.

I can't wait for this points season. I hope I get these coilovers and then some decent rcomps or maybe just some sticky 225's. If I go with r-comps I think I'm going to put them on some 15" rims.
