• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Raleigh Area Roll Call

Reminder, Rockingham is having another Test and Tune Sat the 29th. I will be there and I'd love to see a few other modded Stingers hang out. They run from 6pm to 11pm and the gates open up at 4pm $25 gets you all the runs you can squeeze in. Way cheaper than a dyno and you get real world metrix to go off of. I hope to see some of you there.
 
I would absolutely love to attend that one. If I can get off work early I will definitely join. It's a 2 hour drive for me.
 
I'm in south Holly Springs previously Morrisville. Here's my GT2 at a NCCAR track day.

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Are they any pre-reqs? Like a waiver? Helmet required?
 
None, I've gone the last 3 Test and Tunes. Pull up to the kiosk and sign your name, you get a wrist band and a single piece of paper with car info. After you fill it out, give it to the gentleman as you pull in for your first run and he paints a number on your car and that's it.

The interesting part regarding the helmet is that on their website they say if you run faster than a 14.0 you should be wearing a helmet but they are pretty relaxed on all of that.
 
You are correct. They are referring to santioned events, not test and tune. When I called early summer about the rules, I specifically told them I was in a 4 door kia that will probably run 12's and he kind of laughed. "No need for a helmet"

"paints a number on your car" ... hmm ... I wonder how a ceramic coating affects that.

It only goes on the top corner of the windshield and the rear driver side window so shouldn't have any issues.

I think I actually might meet you there. I have a RWD car so traction is my biggest issue. I have wanted to try it on a track for quite awhile.
 
I hope to see you there! I'll be the grey one, my avatar is my actual tag.

Looks like I am in for Saturday. I have a bone stock car with boat anchor wheels so I will probably get embarrassed but you have to start somewhere right?
 
Test and Tune my friend, It's all fun! I ran 13's my first trip there, nothing to be embarrassed about!

REMINDER!!! This is a huge weekend at Rockingham! First, Saturday there is Roll racing, yes! Right after the Roll racing a test and tune starts from 1-6pm. This is just a warm up for the "Import Face Off" I registered and I'm racing in the 11.5" category. In addition, they will have vendors, live music, burnout contest, Food, Car Limbo contest, Food ect. I hope to see you all there!
 
Reminder!!! There is another test and tune this Saturday. They are running winter hours so gates open up at 1000. Weather is supposed to be cool, 60's!! That's at least a 10th off your times when it's been in the 80's. I hope to see some of you there!!!
ps. the Import shoot off is cancelled again due to rain on Sunday.

I will be there tomorrow for the Test and Tune with my essentially Stock RWD Stinger. Are you shooting for a specific number this time? 11.5 sure would be cool to see.
