I'm interested. I actually missed out on a similar opportunity today in Indiana. Plus, it would be nice to get my solara back to it's hometown. Let me check my schedule.

Thanks for postin' up Tact. If all goes well with my dyno in early July, then we're set for Saturday July 12th. Hope to see you all then.

You guys from the Columbus meet should definitely come out for this also, we'll have a great time!

BTW, anyone needs my celly, just pm me and I'll give it to ya.

crap, I aint been to Tri state since the day the Talon died. Might be up for that. I can see why you want to go there Tact being closer to Oxford and all. Edgewater wouldnt be a bad one either. They're doing an import/sport compact day the sunday after father's day weekend, the 22nd I believe?

Hey Kevin,

My new wheels for my car won't be ready until mid July. I'm actually taking the car in to the shop on Friday, July 11th, that's the only reason Tact and I were looking for a Saturday Test & Tune.

Think you're game for this one?

I may make it out. I will let you know when the time gets closer. If I come Im just going to hang out. No passes for me.

by **TMMK Toy** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 6:23 pm

Ya I'm down no matter what. Saturday afternoon test and tune is a nice appeal, as Edgewater is always friday nights so never have time after I'm done working out

by **michaels artic frost** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 5:30 am

Saaaawweeeet! Glad you'll be able to make it Kevin.

Chris, you better join us bro. We'll have another mini meet.

Would be even better if Crispone (the other Chris) could bring his lara or supra out that day as well.

Guys don't forget to deflate your front tires at the track to around 24 PSI...the grip will be way better. I know some will say 20 PSI is better, however, I don't know if they are too deflated if the tire can unrim itself. I don't know the down end limit.

Good race and meet guys !

by **TMMK Toy** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 12:06 am

lol. 20 psi aint gonna ruin the tire and rim seal. I've seen clueless people drive around on tires at 10 psi and the seal was still there

by **michaels artic frost** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 3:40 am

Thanks for the tips bro. Will keep that in mind.

by **PhreakdOut** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 4:46 am

Be careful on lowering the tire pressure. Too low and your reaction times will increase as the tire's sidewall flexes upon initial acceleration.

If your front tires are breaking free, you could look into pair of drag slicks. Let's hope Toyota's drivetrain is built strong enough to handle strong launches.

by **TMMK Toy** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 5:33 pm

I dont see many people on here making too much power that a decent street tire at low pressure shouldnt have an issue hooking up.

by **Solorange** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 6:50 pm

I will be there to hang out as long as my fiance doesn't come up to Columbus to visit me. I will let you all know early next week.

by **Camry Racing** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 8:01 pm

20 psi is enough to have a good grip with decent tires maybe like 180 thread wear I personaly have 300 threadwear and they are very good for me but for the boosted guys inst enough and 300 is enough for me cause I'm automatic
