This coming Wednesday....

[79CamaroDiva]

Gates open at 4pm, racing goes until Sundown (which is pretty late now), the bbq continues until the last person leaves.. sooooo.. whos in?

[GP99GT]

ill probably come but no mustang...which means ill be drunk

Well, it starts at 4:00, but the racing lasts until sundown, and the BBQing and boozing last well into the night :)

[CALL911]

How strict is the track? My car should be an easy low 11 second 1/4 mile car, probably even in the 10's but I don't have any form of a roll cage. Will I still get kicked out once I run faster than an 11.5? Or at this event will it not matter?

They are prolly the strictest out of the three in the state....If you are running 11.3s or 11.4s, they would prolly let you slide, but if you are pushing 10s, you'll prolly be stuck eating BBQ most of the night unless you just make 1/8 mile passes.

- Justin

Thats not the answer I was hoping for :-x If they didn't care, I could work on my runs and see what my car could really do. But since they are strick, I'd probably get a bad launch, run an 11.2, and get kicked out.

I would be getting there late anyways. I'll probably just end up at Atco in a few weeks instead (unless Melissa corrects Justins statement about my car needing the cage :ban: )

[Batman]

No, island is pretty strict, if you go faster then 11.3 you will be screwed.

[Kojak]

ill probably come but no mustang...which means ill be drunk

Word to your mother, I'll probibly join you with the wastedness...

[enRo]

I might tag along... maybe ill take the Z for one final pass down the track, maybe I can blow another valve spring :lol: i wont stay long since I have work the next day.

[Batman]

I'm definately in, anybody want to shoot some footage for me when I make a few passes?

For those that will go, you will have a perfect evening for it. Low humidity levels, not too hot temperatures. I just got done railing on my Z, and it feels wicked fast. I know I would get kicked out, and I wouldn't be able to come until late anyways.

I hope everyone else has a great time though!

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm gonna plan on next month, should have the car up and running and plenty of time to take off work :D

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm coming...I'll be the 17 yr old givin you guys funny looks tryin to see if i know any of you haha.

[IROCZBeast]

I'll be there.

Unfortunately my car isn't up and running just yet but I'll be there with my friend and his 88 Mustang Notchback.

I beat him into the 13's before I put my car out of commision so tonights the test to see if he can catch me, his best to date is a 14.1 at 99 mph.

i just got back, melissa u need bigger pieces of chicken :lol:

[j0n]

just got home...and im %#&%# sore...1 hour ride there, 9 passes down the track, 40min ride home...ugh

but i did go 11.7 @ 119 my first day racing a bike! 8)

[Blackbirdws6]

Got back a little while ago as well. I did not run the car but I ate my chicken in 3.02 minutes... new fuel pump is going in tomorrow and the car will be sprayed again. Its then off to wherever to run the damn thing to see if I can get myself in trouble.

j0n - nice final runs and a huge improvement over that first one lol.

[DrachenFire]

dude... how in hell do you guys afford multiple cars while doing mass upgrades on them?!?!? i'm officially in debt to my mom cuz i got a new skateboard that cost $174... and i won't have that much again for like another few months... and i know a job would help, but not a single person is hiring... me and all my friends combined: 57 applications to various places... not 1 call to any of us...

[ar0ck]

I had a freak'n blast tonight! Thanks goes out to all the people running this shin dig.

[Batman]

Well I finally got home after getting stuck in construction for like 30 minutes. It was nice meeting you guys. After a little research I don't think my car is running as bad as I thought, but still not quite right byt he MPH. Anyway I ran a 12.2 @ 116 with a 2.158 60 ft (should have kept my slicks). I still think it should trap in the 120's but my 11's on the old motor were with slicks and 2 gallons of gas (I had almost a full tank). My 60's were all 1.5 and 1.6 then and I also didn't have the roll bar, 5 points and fire extinguisher. SO I'll work some minor issues and get some better tires after I kill the DR's.

[qwikz28]

:w00t: i didn't break anything. car had 14s in it but the sun came down too fast. oh well. 15.0 is quite respectable for a 5700# SUV.

i have a great time none-the-less. and melissa, you're dad sure makes great BBQ

1) dont spend all your money on car ****...learn how to save money

2)dont spend money on useless crap when you dont have a job

[someGTOguy]

i had a pretty frustrating day, wish the car ran a bit better, but my guess is it was due to the air temps and humidity (thats what i hope, anyways). my best run today was 13.7 @ 103, and my best run to date was a 13.2 @ 108 with the current set up. i couldnt get traction on my launches, or launched too slow... but i couldnt find the middleground. oh well, better luck next time.

to blackbird and batman- it was nice meetin your guys

[BrandonDrecksage]

I had a pretty good day in my ****** car...and by good I mean my first pass. I hit a 14.8 at 98.5 with a 2.4x 60ft which bettered my best time overall at etown of a 15.1 with a 2.4 60ft at 97. Then the second run I missed second gear and ran a 15.3 with a 2.3 60ft and the 3rd run i missed second again with a 15.1 and a 2.260ft. Apparently my car does not go into second gear anymore at wot...yay for a tranny slowly dying.

car is stock..hence the slow times...I think I was the fastest fwd.

[V]

just got home. my friends MR2 blew something on rt 80, spraying my car with coolant and a little oil. we sat on the side of the road waiting for a tow and twice cops came to check on us but were really cool and they called him a tow truck since they said it would be faster than AAA.

but before that, it was a great time, lol. I only ran my SS 4 times sinc ei didnt wanna break anythign again this time. i got a new best ET. my 1st run was 13.2, 2nd was 13.1, 3rd was 12.89, and final run was 12.79 @113. That last run satisfied me for now since it was still with a 2.1 60'. Ill eventually get DRs to cut my 60', plus my big thing i still need is a tune.. the stock tune and heads/cam/LTs/portedTB/injectors combo doesnt do it justice, haha.

were you the silver camaro with a black bumper?

i liked that mr2(the red early/mid 90s turbo). I told my girlfriend that I want one for a auto x car..and she asked why does the car sound like a bird is chirping when he shifts. I thought that was funny.

[GP99GT]

thats him

to anyone that didnt go, you missed a supra going high 12's at 130mph :rofl:

[Blackbirdws6]

j0n - a trip to atco is going to definitely in order and I will have to bring my future father-in-law since he got his new 07 c6 last week.

It was nice meeting all you guys there and listening to my attempt to act as a comic relief. Next time I won't be a little bitch and run the bird.

That supra was performing in typical fashion but I was diggin the 03-04 modded cobra's. (especially the gray one)

i do it by working 60-80 hours a week. :nod:

[CALL911]

I do it by defending the nation under Uncle Sams paycheck :usa:

I own 2 4th Gen F-bodies (in my sig), and I don't owe 1 penny on either of them.

I have more than $60,000 just in my Z alone. But take into consideration that was spent over the last 9 years, and I have had a lot of well paying jobs in the past.

Saving $ is everything though. Make a budget, look at where most of your expenses are going every month. Try to cut back on the needles stuff like going out for dinner all the time, or getting the latest XBOX game. Interest owed adds up as well. Personally I have a handfull of credit cards that I use to build up credit, but I always pay them off month to month (have never paid those greedy people 1 cent). Car loanes and other interest related things add up as well. Try to get stuff paid off early to maximise on spending less as a whole.

You don't have to be a cheepskate to be able to save effectively.

you were such a c***tease. haha. yea hopefully it will be running better come next 'trackday.' of course, you could always run like j0n did with utter disregard to how its running and with hopes to get thrown off a track for not having a roll cage.

the 4th gen, that is.

[Blackbirdws6]

new fuel pump is in and time to spray it! Stay tuned for horrific driving and even worse times :) . Next time I'll run it and let them kick me off...if I can get it below 13.49.

Yeah, 2.2 60Ft times. I went over it, it seems OK and like I said it is running very strong, but with those 60's I am already at least .5 in the hole from when I had slicks. Working on getting some new wheels and better rubber and working from there. Also the car is quite a bit heavier then the cam only 11.7 runs. I'll figure it out, but gotta start with traction
