Just wondering if there may be some more fun this weekend for the FWDers. I finally got my car registered so it is legal to take out on the streets.

What are the good nights to go to Bithlo? Seeing how I broke my car there when I first got to Florida 2+ years ago I figure I can redeem myself and do a decent run before I leave in a few weeks back to Virginia.

Maybe see if I can hit a 12 on street tires first time out! hehe I'll just keep telling myself these fantasies.

How is Bithlo on Friday nights? I'm not real big into being there 4 hours to get in 2-3 runs so base it off of that.

Any ideas on how bad they are with helmet enforcement? My helmet is back in VA (not snell certifiend anyway) and I figure I'll probably do better then a 13.9...

The few times I've been to run, it has always been just how you described it: 3 runs in 4 hours. The earlier you get there, the better off you are... as in camp outside the gates before they open and you might squeeze in an extra 1 or 2 runs.

It's all about tuning :) and shifting nicely.

95% someone blows their engine, it's cuz it wasn't tuned right.
(Brit, Scott T, Dave....)

Most of the time someone breaks the tranny, it's cuz they did a "Micah- No-Lift-Shift" or just launched the shit out of it and rode out the wheel hop...haha.

oh yea, I say a pray everynight too...hehe.

Hey I admit the first one was my fault [FNG mistake] but the second one? Come on! That was due to the "Crank- Walk Monster" :flamemad:

Mine was from 92,000 miles on a car and 20,000 of it turboed. It just gave up on me. I blew the head gasket and I dont even think I messed up a piston. I will know for sure this week when I go over there to inspect the damage.
