Thanks it was good.

Where is everyone? This thread is ghostly.

 

im right here yo!!!!!!!!

 

hey there. Sorry about your x-brace. That sucks.

 

Hey redrumm, aren't you into autocrossing?

 

yeah and i havent been back since i sold everything. i just go out to the back roads practice out there. im probably going to finish up my alignment and put my hoses on this weekend. that would make my handling better.

 

I want an x brace or ladder brace.

No one makes them for a reasonable price, fail.

 

learn how to weld and make your own.

 

Oh, I forgot you parted out a while back. Anyway, if you're up for a drive on the 18th there will be a gymkhana event in Angleton. For 30 bucks you get 10 timed runs and after everyone does their 10 you can get more seat time during fun runs.

 

Me welding...that'd be an awesome site.

I wish, Kelso...it'd be awesome but I'm more like this around things that shoot flames...whereas I can see you more like this and

 

What is the name of the track? Sounds like fun

 

I've never tracked before, do you have to have experience?

 

Doubt it but you will probably need a helmet

 

The event is at Angleton Raceway, there is a thread in the Texas subforum highlighting the tech requirements and course layout. I've been to a couple of events, but have not participated...yet. Saving up for stuff; however, there is a member here that does run there frequently. Also, you do not need any prior track experience.

Welding is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, you should try it out sometime. End up laying down something like this...

It's not just the welding it's how good it looks and comes out. Unless you like the popcorn ball welds

 

Agreed, a good welder can get 32 puddles in one inch of a bead.

In the pic above, I was having an off day while shielded metal arc welding. I couldn't get my speed right with my heat setting that day, so I would either end up going too fast and not tuck the toes of the puddles or end up going all crooked and not stack the puddles as close as usual. So I got a case of the F-its and welded the word "taco" to vent.

 

Lol I have the f-it's at work all the time


You should try to enter that event

 

I believe me, I want to run. The things that are stopping me are that I want to have another set of tires for this (I still have my stockers), I will not allow me to run in the events, and I'm trying to save up a good bit of cash for stuff.
