Your 2008 Motorsports Resolutions

[HAULN-SS]

- get some vehicle, on some track, sometime

[navin]

Stop putting car/modifications in front of school, school > car.

If I do some HPDE's, new tracks such as VIR, Pocono, and at least HyperFest for the atmosphere.

Oh yeah, no more broken collar bones phawk 2 wheels!

1) Splice B1 02 sensor #1 into B1 02 sensor #2 so I can get rid of the CEL I've had for a while. Unfortunately the sensor is stuck in the bung and is at risk of stripping it out, so there it will remain.

2) Install DDE angel eyes I've had for a while, then install the rockblocker I've had for a while

3) Get my lip kit and sideskirts down here, painted, and installed

4) ^^ all of that is pretty pointless stuff, but stuff I need to do nonetheless. My real goal for this coming year is to begin working on a project car for my friend. We're throwing around three ideas right now:
a. single turbo Supra (he'll likely just buy this outright though with full mods already if he goes this route, but we may have some wrenching to do)
b. low rider show truck. Bagged, tubbed, the whole nine.
c. rat rod or old school hotrod. I'm pulling for this option!!!

The project is going to be his car, which I'm totally cool with... I owe him and his family a lot so it would be a good way for me to give back to him. It will give me a good chance to get involved in installing stuff that is more complex than the simple things I've done in the past (exhaust, turbos, intercoolers, fuel pumps, etc.).

5. Eventually I'd like to get another project car, but 2008 will likely be devoted to a new home and building up the finances for said project car.

Trademarked!

[Chris]

Car:
purchase and install sway bars, upgrade tires once azenis are gone, valve/head adjustment, fix exhaust that is beginning to leak and rust, re-do harness hardware, possibly install quick release steering wheel, paint car

Driving:
Attend HPDE's with NASA, Car Guys, and Track Daze... at least 6 events or more and try at least one new track. Also advance to Group 3!


Races:
I'm planning on going to the Rolex 24hr at Daytona in January as long as everything works out. No other races planned right now.

Misc:

Sell E30 parts, purchase race trailer from my boss and repair it for use, maintenance on 4Runner

[Jeff]

The Daytona - Finish it. I want my 300hp 8v car.

The Van - get some paint on it. Maybe some more boost. Thinking on selling it...but wait...what is that in the back room? A 16v motor? Oh snap!

Challenger - Get it moved to wherever I get a house at and start working on it in my spare time. Build it up the way I want starting at the beginning.

Events - Go to (and work) every NASA MA event.

AutoX- get a car to do them in... This is linked with getting the Daytona done.

Resolutions:

1) Think about atending a MMsport meeting on campus
2) Get some of you guys involved in Rally
3) Finish rebuilding our motor
4) send out big $$$ sponsorship proposals to everyplace we can think of---Suggestions and actual contact information would be great if anyone has some for possible sponsors
5) Win the MaxAttack! triple crown series <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.max-attack.com">www.max-attack.com</a><!-- w -->
6) Milk our 2007 Rookie of the Year discount as much as possible


Seriously--if anyone has a potential sponsor contact, we are very interested. It doesn't have to be an auto manufacturer, motorsports related business etc. It could be that you know the VP of marketing for XYZ energy drink, or PQR internet company that is intested in partnering with a successful professional team in the fastest growing motorsport in the US.

I have sponsorship proposals waiting....
