MichaelD Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Mike, If you want I can bring my scales to NJMP we can CW cars if needed. I have an easy program for calculations. Anyone know how to post a Excel file here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Michael: I think your scale wld be of use to others but my Caterham has non-adjustable shock perches, so ride height, weight balance, etc., is fixed. I did have it weighed with me in it once, out of curiosity, and it was very close to perfect. Maybe Proj217 cld use them tho, his car's handling is totally screwed up. My car just got back from the shop and, per a brief blat, is running great again, so hopefully the rough running engine problem has been cured, well see. They replaced spark plugs, tuned and balanced carbs, reset timing, replaced alternator belt, adjusted the valves. The engine feels, sounds and runs better. And makes power differently. Now much more power up top, low end has been sacrificed a bit (no loss). Since the car is back, I will try to get/post ride ht #'s, front & back for proj217. Mike M.

Kitcat Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I get 6 1/2 inches from the center of the front of the frame to the floor, 6 3/4" from the center of the rear of the frame to the floor (on a floor that probably isn't totally level so I wldnt be surprised if the rear is actually 6 1/2").

Sabbot Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Does anybody know if there are specific requirements for helmet specifications for this event? I just checked both my helmets and neither are Snell marked. My sparco open face is UK RAC MSA (FIA spec) badged but it does not appear to have any Snell markings Both helmets are pristine so I hate to go and buy another but figure I might have to depending on the regs.

yellowss7 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I know an SA2000 or newer is required according to the FAQ. Tom You can always ask Ian via an email. He responds pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M. Thank you kind sir! Ya know I'm QUITE excited to be going to this track day. Beyond just to experience a new track (2 actually) it is going to be damn awesome to be on track with all these different 7s at the same time and talk with you guys. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stewart You have the same problem I had. My Aussie helmet had no snell marking as it is a North America thing (it had Standards Australia SA reference) so I needed to buy a new one. Unlike you, my old helmet was due for replacement. NJMP also has a full face helmet policy only (no open faces permitted at all) and SA2000. So even if SCDA says ok, NJMP can still say no. So I ended up at Stable Energies near Hackensack to buy a new one. Your best argument is to show FIA compliance as that is international but I would start with Ian at SCDA before the event.

MichaelD Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think Scott Lentz will be signing up. Orange Superlight. That will make 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Great News Michael. 2 weeks to go and we have a real shot at 10 sevens on track at the same time if the guys I talked to can make it. Add the few that will attend but not track and it will be a great turn out. :party: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I spent the weekend driving the Lightning course at NJMP with the Philly PCA group. Had a great time. I let the chief instructor take out the Caterham with the Black run group and it was fun to watch him kick the GT3's in the corners and keep right up on the straights!!! I drove like a grandmother most of the time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blubarisax Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have not driven T-Bolt yet. I'll have an opinion in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelD Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I spoke with Dermot McDermott today. He is still trying to adjust his schedule to come up on Sunday with his Fury. I am lining up my gear to go to Hyperfest at Summit Point on Friday. Edited June 15, 2011 by MichaelD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, I'm hoping to do either Friday or Saturday on Thunderbolt, weather being the determining factor. Karl if you want to get a day in on Thunderbolt, How's this Saturday work for you? I can get you in on the members day. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubarisax Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Tom, Wish I could make it. I was there last weekend and will be there the next weekend. Given that Saturday is my wedding anniversary I should not push my luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottocycle Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hello guys, Just a quick note to say I signed up this evening and spoke with Ian, the organizer of the event. A very nice guy. He said they have 9 Sevens in the intermediate group and he thinks they will be full by tomorrow (so if you are on the fence now is the time to deceide). I am looking forward to meeting you all and thanks to Michael D for reminding me about the event. Dermot. Heretic 1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Great Dermot! I've got two more Seven owners on the hook still so there is still hope that we can get to and even 10 sevens on the track together. Add in a few others that may come out to watch and it's shaping up to be a great event. There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant near the track in Millville that could be a dinner option on Sunday or Mondya night. Any other suggestions?

ottocycle Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sounds great. Mike and Scott have one of the suites at the track and I am hoping to mooch a couch off someone (I will chip in ,of course) who has space, otherwise I will get a room nearby. If we do dinner at the steakhouse Sunday, it might be nice to do a group buy for a cookout at the track Monday night if possible. Do they have any BBQ facilities?

yellowss7 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Great Idea. I don't remember seeing any place near the paddock area, but I can ask. The club/restaurant is closed during the week, it only opens durning the weekend. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
