So, is anyone doing the BMW auto-x instead of the Cinco de Mayo drive? Just curious.

havnt heard from anyone, i think the cinco thing plus karting sounds more fun the autox ing in the rain with lowly bmws

exarkun,

Sounds like we're gonna meet up at the intersection of 31 and 579, around 5pm, where they merege for about 2 miles. It should be easy to find where they are meeting b/c it's pretty rual there and it would be pretty hard to pass. I'm not quite sure where they are meeting, but I kinda know the area.

And yeah, a drive/karting sounds like more fun. Plus I can visit a few friends in CT when I'm done, now that I can stay for the dinner/drinks.

yeah, you can take 287 into 206/202. Look for the Summerville circle I guess. Then continue around the cirlce on 202 South. Then eventually you'll run into the intersection we're talking about. I believe 202 turns into 202/31 for a little bit.

It's not the most direct root from your house, but it's the only one major road wise. It would be shorter if you some how got on the turnpike and went up into 31 directly.

Phil, go auto X. You'll have a blast.

I think I'll show up, only if river levels don't come up. I've gotta kayak some too.

hey how bout karting on sat ?

[MidasHands]

I'm going out of town this weekend.

When do you think you will have your car back?

[exarkun1178]

im expecting late next week. but thats simply my expectation of how long i think it should take,....reality has always proven much different!

[macdady2424]

I can't auto x or track to I get 2 new rear tires. I'm almost down to the wear bars. Doubt I would pass tech inspection.
I would be down for some karting this Saturday. We can use the gp NY coupons.

[exarkun1178]

hey here a question.... i was on north east motor sports web site.

i was reading up on classing.
it says, 20 points to be bumped a class.

2005 lotus elise = class A

only class to be bumped to is U.

it then says supercharges not installed by factory is 20 points....BUT it says the first 4 point are not counted on first mod. my first measurable mod is the supercharger. so 20- 4=16... 16 point puts me well with in not being bumped.. so i should still be in A... looking forward to feed back

I think you are reading what you want to hear. It also says that a vehicle with a non-factory installed supercharger that has a curb weight under 2600lbs counts for 80 points.

It says the first 4 point modification is FREE. Not the first 4 points of modification.

These also fall under weight modifications:

Weight Modifications:
* The 1st 4 Point modification is free, however if a 2nd modification is performed, all points count. *

6. Lightweight Hood = 4 Points
7. Lightweight Trunk = 4 Points
8. Racing seats = 4 Points
9. Rear seat removal and all carpeting and/or interior panels behind the Driver / Passenger seats = 4 Points

Yours is considered a HEAVY modification and will bump you a class since it is twenty points:

Heavy Modifications:
20. Any/All internal Engine Modification incl. Boring, Stroking, Changing Compression, Water Injection; Internal Engine Parts such as valves, pistons, rods, crankshaft, etc; Fuel components in forced induction vehicles including injectors, pumps, pressure risers and larger turbochargers =

40 Points for AWD Vehicles
20 Points for FWD or RWD Vehicles

21. Any/All Boost controllers, Performance chips, Reprogrammed/Replacement/Piggyback ECU, Pulleys for Supercharged vehicles, Blow-off Valves or Waste Gates on Forced Induction Vehicles (Performance Chip on a Naturally Aspirated vehicle is free) =

40 Points for AWD Vehicles
20 Points for FWD or RWD Vehicles

22. Non-factory installed Turbo or Supercharger =
80 Points for Vehicles with a curb weight of under 2600lbs
40 Points for AWD Vehicles
20 Points for FWD or RWD Vehicles
