  Anybody try this MadiZONE stuff?

Thinking of streaming the game for $6. What's the quality like? I'd be much more ready to pull the trigger had they given me a sample... I don't want to pay to watch a thumbnail.

  FS: NASA Track Credits
Posted by: D_Eclipse9916 - 09-25-2009, 11:26 AM - Forum: For Sale/Trade, WTB - Replies (7)

As stated I have for sale some NASA track credits, I have about a bajillion of them so no dibs. Save 15% on your next track day by getting your credits through me compared to buying new. Non-negotiable on price. You can either get mine and save 15% or buy them new, up to you. NASA-MA no longer does credits from what im told. Although Rex might have some leftover if you dont feel like buying from me at my price.


  Sept. 30th on Campus Meet
Posted by: A350Zisa - 09-24-2009, 04:16 PM - Forum: Events - Replies (41)

Next Wednesday September 30th 6:30 (really means 6:45)

Meet at the top (F-Word to speedbumps...) of the Warsaw Parking Deck. Run what ya brung, possible pictures, and then go get some ICECREAM after, around 7:45. i hope Klines has some good flavor out then, ill have to check on that.

Meet some more people, show off your car, keep your modifications a secret (so necessary).

I believe my car is full already, benefits of a 2 seater, but if you need rides, just ask for one on here and then contact a member that offers up a ride. rides mainly for those going to get icecream downtown afterward.

questions, suggestions?

not planning on changing the time because the sun has been setting a bit quicker now.

  DRAG STRIP!!
Posted by: MWP_Brittany - 09-24-2009, 12:12 PM - Forum: Events - Replies (17)

Hey guys,

The Monkey Wrench team and I want to hit up the track one more time before the season is completely up.

We wanted to get an idea of how many of you would be interested in going to a Test and Tune day at a drag strip. For those of you who are new to drag racing or racing in general, Test and Tune is the opportunity for you to take ANY CAR down the track and get an E.T. on that car. It doesn't matter if it is your race car, beater, daily driver, or hand me down piece of junk. As long as it passes tech you are able to run it! It's a great opportunity to hit some really high speeds in a safe environment and it will definitely give you some numbers to brag about. :wink: For most tracks, it costs anywhere from $15-$30 to run your car, and in most cases that allows you to get in as many runs as you can throughout the course of the day. Test and Tune is really chill and low key, and doesn't have the same pressure and stress that race days have. For the most part, everybody is out to have a good time and figure out where their cars are at, especially at the end of the season. It's really a great way to learn more about your car and what you are capable of.

The issue is that there are not a lot of 1/4 drag strips close to Harrisonburg. Here are the options.

Closest drag tracks:
1/8 mile track: Eastside Speedway, Waynesboro VA ---> Test and Tune most weekends through October (November not posted yet). <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eastsidespeedway.com/">http://www.eastsidespeedway.com/</a><!-- m -->
1/8 mile track: Sumerduck Dragway, Culpeper VA -->Test and Tune every Sunday through October (November not posted yet). <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sumerduckdragway.com/schedule.htm">http://www.sumerduckdragway.com/schedule.htm</a><!-- m -->

1/4 mile track: Richmond Dragway, Richmond VA --> **We'll have to call for Test and Tune details** <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://richmonddragway.com/ver9/?page_id=508">http://richmonddragway.com/ver9/?page_id=508</a><!-- m -->
1/4 mile track: Virginia Motorports Park, Petersburg VA --> Test and Tune most Fridays and Saturdays (we would be aiming for Saturday, November 7th). <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.virginiamotorsportspk.com/drag/ScheduleResults.aspx">http://www.virginiamotorsportspk.com/drag/ScheduleResults.aspx</a><!-- m -->

There are other tracks, mostly 1/8 mile, scattered around, but these are the ones that I have gotten the best info about and reviews from. Eastside is obviously the closest, Sumerduck is about about 1.5 hours away, Richmond is about 2 hours away, and VMP is about 3 hours away.

The advantage of an 1/8 mile is obviously a shorter distance, semi-slower speeds than 1/4 mile (depending on how your car is built for it) and lower times. Is it safer than a 1/4? Yes and no. The 1/4 is a little more accurate when it comes to gauging a car's time based on low and top end speed, and is usually the golden standard for E.T's. We would honestly rather hit up a 1/4 mile track, but that is a lot of driving for one day considering that none are really that close.

Regardless, all cars running on the track must pass NHRA rules. If your car is mostly stock, or will run above 12 seconds in the 1/4, you should be fine. Here is a link to the rulebook if you are worried about your car passing tech:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://my5ltr.tripod.com/NHRArules.html">http://my5ltr.tripod.com/NHRArules.html</a><!-- m -->

I think that is a somewhat abbreviated version, but it gives you the main idea.


Let me know what you guys think and if anybody would be interested in running, and also if you all would prefer a 1/4 or an 1/8 or what. If people are willing to travel for the 1/4 mile, then we will definitely go there. Also, if you are not interested in running but just interested in spectating, let us know and we might be able to work out rides depending on where we go. We're planning on going late October or Early in November, so that will give everybody enough time to coordinate and decide what they want to do.

I know this isn't something you all usually do, but it's a lot of fun and a great chance to see what you and your car are made of. Let me know what you guys think!!!! Big Grin


  Ibanez BTB400QM $300 OBO
Posted by: lillitnn92 - 09-24-2009, 11:55 AM - Forum: For Sale/Trade, WTB - Replies (1)

- Body: basswood with quilted maple top
- Bridge/tremolo: Mono-Rail II
- Hardware: silver nickel
- Finish: transparent red
- Pickups: Ibanez Dynamix Full Range
- Controls: Vari-Mid 3B
- Fingerboard: rosewood
- Frets: large
- Neck material: 5 piece maple/walnut
- Neck type: BTB4
- Inlays: pearl dot.

Bought it new for $500+, never left the confines of the house. Easily 8 out 10 in condition. Little dusty now, needs some new strings, (has TI Flats on it now) but it's still a great bass. I'm trying to recoup some vacation money before October, so it's $300 or best offer.

  Scratch Doctor??

Just wondering if any of you knew a good place to get a scratch taken out, had someone lean against my car at the tailgate evidently with jeans and scratched through the clearcoat. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
