Atco Raceway Recap from 2/23/14

p.s. does TSIVAS weigh much less than Pete’s dad (or whoever drove that car when it went 11.7 or whatever it’s previous record was)?

My dads B8 was 11.8X@117 something and this is his first run in his new B8.5…

My dad is ~240lbs and Tsivas I believe is ~205.

ah cool.
Looks like the only difference is the wheels then? Same modlist otherwise? This lends credence to the B8 = B8.5 argument that’s for sure. The big gearing concerns appear to be entirely unfounded .

205!? :o I weigh 183 LOL. 57lb weight reduction mod FTW and both mirrors tucked in was my contribution.

Gonna run car on fumes next time.

^^ lol

Lmao whoops :wink:

I like to arrive at the strip with the fuel warning on. That’s how the RS4 is normally driven anyway.

As for you weighing 180 that’s pretty light in Audi land. For whatever reason, tons of the guys on this site are 6’+ and 200+. When you ythink about it, that 57 lbs is like pulling the passenger seat out. I need a little jockey to drive my Rs4 for me at the strip.

wonder what avg weight is of drivers at top of list…

I’m 6’2" 165-170lbs depending on how many shits I have taken that day…

[quote=“primetime,post:29,topic:5284”]

thinsauce!

top of the list, driverwise, is as follows…

rynurz ???
tsivas 183
ptime 170 (we will assume he’s bunged up)
supremepower ???
81bear 190 (guess having met him 6 times)
austin@GIAC ???
jones2012 ???

The overall fastest car drivers are

eric@apr ??? (he seems XL in videos)
marc10secS4 ??? (I seem to remember him being TINY…jockeylike)
twitS4estate ??? (he’s a dancer, so is likely lithe and thin)
jaybquick ??? (he cleans his plate. Maybe 200-210?)

database needs a new column for driver weight. :slight_smile:

Saki I also have a Milltek, not AWE. Figured it’s worth mentioning since pipe diameter is different.

damn, missed that.

No prob dude

Jockey comment has me wheezing bad. LOL

I was 165 when I set my time. Now I gotta be 185, thanks to quitting.

I don’t think Bear is anything over 160. He was about 0.05 to 0.1 faster in his car than I was…

Wow! nice job boys! Awesome times! Not gonna lie when I saw the tread my hands started to sweat as I clicked on the link and started to read. I am glad my time still stands, because I would have had to wait till the first week in April to try to get it back. :slight_smile: Ron, I can only imagine that you must be chomping at the bit to get out there. LOL I know I would! Well Ron, lets hope we can get some good DA’s this spring and get our APR cars in the 11.5’s

Saki, I’m 6’2" of solid muscle at 190lbs. :slight_smile:

Are we ever going to get you to come to GLD? Maybe we can make a trade off and do one weekend Byron and another GLD? 8)

I’d be down with that. I’ll give GLD one more chance. Last time track prep was bad and I wasn’t impressed with the place. They put to much sticky spray at the launch, and then on the way back you had to drive over gravel that was on the pavement. So with all the sticky on the tires I would pick up the gravel on the tires. Not good when your trying to catch Ron. Plus I’m 12 miles closer to Byron. :slight_smile: April 5th or 6th I’m be heading to Byron for sure. April 12th and 19th I’ll be at rt66 in joliet depending on weather of course.
