AutoX Nov. 12 - Fairmeadows Infield at Tulsa Expo Square

[White99SE]

I'm posting this even though I'm not sure if I'm even going to make it. We've finally secured a decent AutoX site that is IN TULSA!!! It's in the infield parking lot at the Fairmeadows racetrack right next to the fairgrounds. More info can be found here:

Regardless of what the writeup says, this is not our first time there. They must have just copied and pasted. This will be the 3rd time we've been there. But the part about being on your best behavior still applies.

Sweet....I'll be there for sure this weekend. It's been too long since I've been to an event. Thanks for the heads up Roger!!!

[White99SE]

Well, I'm registered. Unless something major comes up, I should be there. I had to miss the October event due to a dead battery. That shouldn't be an issue this time!

That's close enough for me to limp the 3L over there. (It's still eating up wheel bearings) aaarrrgggh.............

[White99SE]

Hey Eric, are you going to run your 3L or are you coming just to watch? (just curious).

Just talked to Richard (Kung Fu Troll). He was wanting to know where the 2 SVT's from the other thread were located and I mentioned this to him. He'll probably show up too. I suspect Static might come too.

My car is not in a state to be beat on right now. The motor is flawless, but I have some passenger side knuckle/wheel bearing issues that need to be sorted before I get spirited again. Maybe in the spring time I'll have it where I want it.

I'll be watching.....

me and rich test drove those two svts and its wasnt that great. The one with the wheels just stay away from. It has an aftermarket sun roof thats messed up. The suspension is wore out. Secondaries do not open fully so not a great amount of torque. The clutch is wore out and it has dents and dings all over the car. Not to mention the owner openly admitts to doing burnouts in it and beating on it for fun. Now the other one is a nice car. It needs about 500-600$ in work done. Needs a tune up, new wheel bearings, new brake pads and rotors and a good cleaning under the hood. other then that though its a good car. He wants way to much for it though. The one with stock wheels he is asking 4895 and I think if you could pick it up for about 3800-3900 you would be getting a good deal. The one with wheels he is asking 4990 for it and its worth about 2900-3000 at best. Needs a lot of TLC. For some reason the guy thinks because it has wheels it should cost more. Oh and the good one has 120k on it and the other has 155k

[White99SE]

Yeah, I could tell by looking the one with the wheels had been abused. Is Rich thinking of pickup up another SVT, or did you guys check them out just for the hell of it?

[Static]

he's thinking about it

Cool! What do you call Trolls who buy a Contour again??
