Just a Quick roll call to see who will be attending the Mothers Day Race Weekend at IRP on May 8 and 9.

I'll be there in my CRX. Hope to have lots of people to race.

See you there.
Duncan
 
I'll be there assuming I can keep my motor together long enough to drive the car in the trailer. I'll have my ITB Escort GT. Any other takers in "B".
 
I'm in for sure. It's my home track. I'll be in the black #73 ITS RX-7. Hope lots more come for ITS. I would liketo see more than a six car field

Hey Barry,I'm ready for the season for sure. A little disappointed with Road Atlanta but I've got the car back together again...and again....and again....and again. You get the point. I'll see you there. Save us a spot or we'll save you one either way. Are you planning on going to the test day? I doubt I will but I'll be up there by mid afternoon.
 
Hey Jon, did you run Road Atlanta recently?
Hope this one will be a little better than the last season for you.
I am not planning on running the test day, but should be there Friday afternoon as well.
Will save you a spot if I get there first. I talked to Travis, didnt sound like they were going?
 
Hey Barry, yeah I ran at Road Atlanta the first weekend of March. Had the head gasket go with 2 laps left in the race. Was running okay in the 53's there which is 3+ seconds a lap faster than I've run there before but still not up to the 49's of the fast VW's and Volvos. Too much work for the same old results that I get up here. Too bad Travis and Chris aren't going, but at least you and I have a chance to battle it out for a class win! I haven't been able to say that very often. See ya' there.
 
Never been to IRP but been thinking about it. This is going to be on the road course right? (Didn't they do some IT races on the oval?)

i haven't touched the car (ITA #87) since parking it at end of last year. But I DO have a new set of rains mounted

Hey Jon, youre still fighting the Head? this a new head or did you rework the one from last year?
Travis said he wanted to go, just not sure, Chris is still building his new car.
Would be nice to go for a win, I am just curious to see if the Cell changes my handling any? hoping it doesnt, but who knows, would hate to have to lift going into turn 1, I would lose my edge there
 
Barry, this is a completely new head redone with 5 angle valve job and done at Butch Smith's shop in Frankfort, KY. Had a pre-detonation problem in Atlanta which caused the gasket to go bad. I've got Crane Cam, lifters and comp valve springs but still can't get it right. I am going to have a little calmer set up with me as well as a new gasket so bring your tools we might be replacing heads Saturday night! Sounds fun doesn't it? I can't think that the cell will change much as far as handling, just make sure that you put a consistant level of fuel in the car until you get a feel for how the car will change then you can actually use the fuel load as a chassis adjustment. Let me know if you have any questions.


Hey rlekun, we will be running the road course which is a nice flat fairly easy to run course. We did run some events on the oval several years ago which was kind of fun but everyone was too "scared" to run anything but single file. Never did have any real big shunts except one with some kind of formula car which was pretty tore up. Made me feel like Richard Petty for an hour or so (then I woke up). Come on out and play with us, your rains will always be needed in the spring there.
 
I really hope on being there. I haven't raced at IRP in three years and would like to go back. It all depends on wether or not I get my new ITA car done - only five more weeks and I think I'll be alright. If it's done and we go, I'm sure my Dad will be there running in ITC as well.

If we go it would be split in my car. Still working on the Chris machine. And your edge was turn 2. I wasn't lifting in 1 either but 2 I was out way earlier than you were. That was a great race!

It really shows how much of a momentum track that really is. It is a pretty fun track, and when it rains we have 400hp monsters that can spin 5th gear to add even more fun.

Yup, that would be me. I had an absolute blast running with you and the two TR8's towards the front of the ITS field! Not too shabby for the cars first ever weekend out. I just started the engine the previous Monday, painted it on Tuesday, and put the vinyl on 10pm Friday night. I hope you guys appreciated my quietness and environment awareness with my stock header, cat, & b-pipe - haha. Started fitting the new trick exhaust today.

I was in TR8 convt. this was the first weekend for it. just put the numbers on thurday night. I put the wrong rearend in and could only use 4th and 5th. I was redline in 5th at the start finish line. I wish i didnt have to wait a year to run thear again. I hope the TR8s didnt hurt you too much in the corners, but it was a good time this weekend
