Re: 1/4 mile paved oval/4th gen preludes.
![]() Agassiz Speedway 2.0 that's right, you'll notice number two was a young lady called Kimberlee. She's actually an experienced midget sprint driver so I don't feel so bad. At all. Really. Another lap I would have had her, dammit I ran out of track. The real drama was a massive battle with Mike Webb in #18. I was in 10th overall and him 10 points behind me in 11th place. To get a top ten season finish he knew it wasn't enough to beat me, he had to take me out of the race and did his level best to pit-manoeuver me. It was like taking lefts and rights but I don't spin so easily these days. ![]() ![]() Some of the damage sustained last night. #18 got the worst of it. ![]() I was bitten by bumper biting beasties ![]() I had taken to ramming the opposition ![]() That @#**!! Mike Webb. (off the track we're all still buddies, on the track, it's understood) ![]() That was absolutely the best time I've had yet racing, the main was brutal, everybody got some and more than a few veterans didn't make it. In the words of XXX, "I LIVE FOR THIS S**T!" ![]() Last edited by Hornet56; 10-04-2010 at 08:44 PM. |

They do, we also refer to it as the "Paint exchange" and it's true, it's a good feeling going over to someones pits, handing them a small piece of twisted metal and saying, "I think this is yours" ![]() |

Re: 1/4 mile paved oval/4th gen preludes.
Hey, do you have any good tips on getting a lude to handle well on the track? I raced an integra for 2 years. Some guys on that sight helped me set up my car better. I was never able to get a win but came in almost ever night 2nd and 3rd. The winner was almost always a Barreta GTZ. Now I'm building a 93 prelude. I race a 1/2 mile dirt track in Minnesota, it is well banked, what degree I'm not sure. Any tips would greatly appreciated.

Re: 1/4 mile paved oval/4th gen preludes.
I raced an integra with a b18 for 2 years, didn't have enough ponies to overtake a berreta gtz, but i could keep up for 8 laps then he would get away in the final 2. I had the front set at- pass. side -4 drivers +3 and pass rear at -2. I think i said that right, i might have my + and - backwards? toe out at 1/8-1/4. We can't do much with motor so i want to get all i can with handleing in the corners. Oh by the way they won't let us run VTECH motors, but we can run twin cams, so mine is 2.3 twin cam.

Re: 1/4 mile paved oval/4th gen preludes.
I did well in track points, 3rd with 12-18 cars in the feature. I'm tired of breathing exhaust and burning oil from that GTZ. I'm going to give it a hard run this year. Last year there was also a prelude in the last half of the season. He was 2nd most of the time. So I know a prelude can do it. As far as I know there will be 4 Preludes after him this year! The rest are all Quad 4's with couple of neons and probes.
