Kutil has a setup with wilwood calipers doesnt he?  Thick 20mm pads vs the teeny stock and most crappy stoptech/brembo *insert street BBK kit here* kits.


Edit: OOOOOHHHH  this kit is nice and uses the same calipers I use on the rear of my car.  Cheap pads and thick.  Shame somebody it doesn't use the cheaper wilwood rings instead of AP rings though.

that ASR kit I had offered to me free... NONE of my current wheels or budget friendly wheels would fit over it... and I'm limited to 15x7 wheels.... SO... it would have cost met +$4k in wheels to get a $2.3k brake kit that would have caused fitment/fender issues.


Kutil and Spencer both run the Wilwood setup. the "real benefit" is a weight savings... the stock ITR/MiniCooper setup is still on plenty of front running cars at the regional and national level.

are you on Spoon Calipers? you should be able to brake at the 3-3.5 mark...

Yeah, please do this the first hot lap.... Actually, brake marker 2 if you are feeling frisky

not this kid... my balls aren't big enough.

SHITT FOR FREE AND YOU DIDNT TAKE? YOU ARE INSANE!

they wanted me to run stickers AND their brake kit... the cost wasn't worth the benefit

I have a quick question that I know y'all will have the answer to. My last instructor had a sweet headset thing that made it possible to communicate. Now that the car is stripped, it's even louder than before and there's no way I could hear a passenger at WOT even if they're screaming. Do all instructors have these things? Does it make more sense to buy my own so I'm not relying on the instructor? What's the best setup if so without making my wallet cry too bad?

All instructors should have them.  Available at OG Racing.  Chatterbox is the "go to" but I know a couple came out recently that I dont have experience with first hand.  I wouldn't worry about getting one if you dont plan on becoming an instructor. 

For passengers, I just give the thumbs up and thumbs down.

Yes, that was the one my instructor had. I think I'll pick up a student headset (only 30 bucks) for my next event so im not dirtying up/wearing out my instructors headset. I dont think i'd be a good instructor for the near future so ill hold off on buying the whole thing. Thank you for the info!

Barring complete disaster I'll be there crewing for Kaan/whoever else needs it. I'll have some chassis set up tools and other nonsense to help him get the go fast in his Civic.

I'm hoping we don't have to touch it...

and if you want the civic to go fast you might want to drive it

Confirmed I'm getting my first press car and will be bringing it down for Hyperfest! Toyota is one of a few OEMs that's been interested in working with me/Out Motorsports, and they are providing a 2019 Tundra CrewMax Platinum for review. Going to tow the racecar with it, and Cobetto has given me his blessing to huck it around the off-road obstacle course for a few laps.

Probably doing the obstacle course on Friday afternoon if anyone wants to ride along and/or take photos and video.

It's a good thing you got the approval on the offroad course this time...

LOLOL. Figured I should ask since photos will look better if shot in the daytime     All riders will be asked to leave their adult beverages outside the truck this time, too.

There is probably still whiskey soaked into the carpet/back seat of that f150 to this day.

Hope you all get some good pics for me

[Kaan]

schedules are out (probably have been out)

Looking forward to racing you in the power wheels.  It's been Friday every year, a little annoyed it is Saturday because that is my prime drinking time...

[DierwulfBL]

So the instructions are a bit unclear about ticketing. Do they have a list of registered drivers or do i need to do their 25 step bullshit in order to get in the gate showing them shit on my smartphone?

edit: it appears you have to jump through their hoops, not really sure why they couldnt just provide a list of people registered to skip this unnecessary step. No wonder there is back ups at the gate, this is ridiculous in this day and age of technology.

edit 2: I still dont see a schedule, it just says to meet at a "tech shed" at 715am saturday? No clue which building that is........

[Sahm]

Ill be at hyperfest. Hopefully will be riding the triumph down!

You can't miss the tech shed. It's at the far end of the paddock between timing and scoring and the concession area.

[GTBrandon]

I'll be there working, come find me on grid or pit-out. Then go find BlackoutBrandon later that night and tell him to drink some water.
