Gulf Coast Region June 25 Night event.

I am registered for this event with the Camaro.

have not registered yet but i will soon. car pending on if the mx6 will be ready or not for the event. parents don't like me running the camaro since it is my daily.

I would like to run the Malibu so you region can get a good laugh. But the ac is kinda sketchy and i don't want to break down on the road... more than an hour away lol... I'm going to be draging my buddy (a delta region member) who has a Factory 5 cobra to your event too.

that will be fun well there is a number of things i have to do to the mx6 before it will be ready. im trying to get a few other friends to come out and have some fun too.

well to mx6 broke again so im going to bring out the camaro.

OK, so is it back on the 25th? I swear I saw a post saying it moved to the 26th. Plus how do I pre-register? Link on the site goes to a non-page.

yah there was a whole bunch of people who tried to register on the thread for last years event (i was one of them). there was no change just a little confusion on the site. you can register in the forum. its set up for guest to post as well. you will need to tell them your name scca class (esp stu ect) then region class( open tire"includes st,stu,stx", street tire, novice, and ladies) and if you an scca menber or not and your scca number and you car number.

Kevin you need to grab Larry and drag him there!

Tim, Kevin Is there a HOOTER's near bye? We can bet that the looser buys buys 50 wings? We can use PAX times? Up to you guys. I may have a codriver with me if Sanford can't get the cobra or does not feel up to driving the cobra to the event.

Registered. Figured I would move to ESP. The only real thing putting me in CP was the engine swap, but the engine came out of a car that's in ESP as well.

Kevin i'm running in STU b/c of the street tires but if you run ESP so will I

Larry bring your girl

you can stretch the up date back date rule for that one and really the proper class would be street mod for your car. yee if you run in stu you will be in open tire class if you run esp you will be in the street tire class just to let you know. we do recognize the budget racer in this region hence the reason for the street tire and open tire classes. over all winner will be determined by pax time. i can't wait to see you guys out there. oh and larry bellengraths gardens are about 20 minutes form sunny south so that would work out for you just go around 8 am then you can leave at 12 or 1 and be there early.

Thanks for the info

no prob. larry if you come down we should have a v6 fbody shot out.

yah check that and maybe your thermostat. if your not over heating with the a/c on then you just have a bad relay. those are possible answers to your problem. really want you to come down and run. don't worrie the mx6 loves to do the same thing to me. and the camaro only when i try a mod or something like that. if i buy a part brand new then it won't do it but if it's used then yah it does not like it.

hey do any of you have a point and shoot camera that will take video. im going to get a suction cup mount and use my camera but my dad is taking my camera to europe so now i have a mount and no camera. i was also hoping of getting runs from everyone with it.

I'll have to check how my wife's camera works. As Larry and I found out the last time, it will only take hi-res video 30 seconds at a time... We got a bunch of video of me staging before we figured it out.

Kevin D.

well right now im debating getting the camera mount or doing a front end alignment get a little negative camber up there. which one do you guys think i should do? go faster or show what im doing?

So you're asking whether I think you should go faster or provide me with a way film my runs. Seems obvious to me...

Kevin D.

Do the Alignment at .05 to 1 degree negative camber and 4 degrees positive caster. zero toe

thanks yee ill do that on friday along with all of my final check ups.

well i got my sub frame connetcers in today im going to wait if i have time tomorrow to put them on. one question if i leave the car on the ground should i jack up the rear just slightly to undo the bolt for the lower control arm? i also found out tonight my battery tie down bracket is broken so im off to the junk yard to find one.

bolt in or weld in? I guess that doesn't really matter...

jack the rear of the car up on the center of the diff. support the axle with jack stands this will keep the rear suspension under preload. Then you can unbolt the front LCA bolt to install the subframe. If you are welding don't put the LCA back in or you will melt your bushing.

thanks yee i got them in just fine. hardest part was torquing the lca arm bolts. i actually just supported the car with a jack and did everything with the car on the ground. i also fixed my battery tie down i could not find one that was not broken in the junkyard so i had to get one of those universal tie down kits to keep the battery from flopping.
