Island Dragway BBQ/Cruise Info and Roll Call

[79CamaroDiva]

This Wednesday evening will be the first of many Wed afternoon BBQs at Island! The cost is $15 per person, race OR watch, and that includes food and sodas. They will be on the 1st and 3rd Wed of the month from May-August. Typically we will run 1 lane, but if there is a large enough crowd, we'll open both. Cars need to be muffled and driven in. Gates will open at 4, we will race from 4-sundown. The BBQ will continue til the last person leaves. It's a lot of fun, and in the spirit of BBQ, we DO allow alcohol (BYOB, to be consumed by people 21 and older only), but ONLY to be opened after the last car is down the track.

So, who's coming?

[mtg6486]

[Savage_Messiah]

work > me.

Once I get one of the red things on the road, I'll take a day off and cruise out.

[ls1ta1999]

im in

[JerzyIroc]

is there gonna be an actual cruise? or its just gonna be a meet race and eat thing? either way it shoul be fun :-D one last question. i know you cant allow people to hot lap an try and get as you say a cheap test and tune, but you think we' be able to get like 2 passes in? and would we get a time slip as well?

[JerzyIroc]

one last thing, can a bike run?

[79CamaroDiva]

yes, you'll be able to run as many times as you want. you will also get a time slip. and yes, bikes are welcome to run, providing they have all the safety equipment, including a kill switch tether if the bike doesn't come from the factory with a laydown switch.

[LS1Hawk]

work > me.

Same here. Work owns me. But maybe I'll be able to make it out to one at some point.

Let me put it this way. Last time I went, I got in 8 runs, and then called it a night. I could've gone more :nod:

[Savage_Messiah]

First bbq i got like 14 runs in or something crazy like that

[mtg6486]

im heading down after work. i took out my subs and spare so im good 2 go as soon as i get home

[12secondv6]

I got 18 passes one bbq

[JerzyIroc]

lol no way

[ar0ck]

I even put the Mighty S10 down 5 passes @ one BBQ last summer.

[BigAls87Z28]

Im a no go. Getting ready for the Yankee game tomorrow.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm leaving now for it.

[GP99GT]

new best. 14.306 @ 99.53mph...previous best was 14.478 @ 95.82

only changes are cut the mufflers off, separated ignition wires, and took out the stereo from the back

Gotta get that whistle on there!

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I got a new best too...80.6 mph finally, but I did worse on the 60' and ET. Taking out the air filter slowed me down. Very slim showing as well. Oh, and I had to identical runs of 16.979.

[GP99GT]

wheres my video? please tell me the one where my hand slipped off the shift knob going into 3rd isnt the only video you have :lol:

The first video is your favorite I think...I missed most of the burnout because I didn't realize you got up there so fast.

[GP99GT]

is that a chirp i hear going into 3rd in the first video? i didnt even know i chirped 2nd actually :lol:

also i like the 1-2 in the 2nd one...sounds like an automatic hahah

[JerzyIroc]

wow that's a huge improvement in the trap man. 95 to a 99! that's awesome. i was pretty damn dissapointed in my two runs. my previous best was a 14.7@95 but with a horrible 2.44 60 foot. i figured a 2.2 60 would drop me to like a 14.5. nope. 2.000 60 on the dot and still ran the same time 14.7@95 i think i may have let off too soon. i let off before the red light went on. o well. it was fun.

Did you pull in around 730? And have messed up pass side gfx? I think I walked out to my truck as you were pulling in. Near a grey lumina or something.

[ls1ta1999]

i did my best tonight 13.1 at 109.8 and my sixty foots are horrible so i know i got more but shes a tired car

[79CamaroDiva]

glad to see you guys got some new bests! the air was definitely very good tonight.

[JerzyIroc]

Ya that was my pos. it was a berretta and he actually ran it lol. he's got an 11 sec srt4 though so it was just for fun. Here's the funny thing... there was a nova with us. lol the beretta actually trapped higher than the nova.

[Mike]

jerzeyiroc, you might have experienced the elevation change and weather change....

im SURE last night was hotter and more humid than a few weeks ago at etown. and island is a higher elevation.

that 2.0 in the same conditions at the same track WOULD have improved your times

What elevation is Etown? Isn't Island like 250 feet above sea level? It was pretty warm, like 74 degrees. My truck was feelin the heat. The air was great, if only it was a bit cooler.

IIRC, e-town's right about at sea level, and Atco's a tad below that

[JerzyIroc]

lol like 0 feet above sea level. seriously though its like at sea level or somethin. it was definatly cooler when i ran at etown. i was just a little pisse cuz the first thing i looked at was my 60 foot an saw that it was .2 better. i was expecting like a14.5 at the most. so i was upset to say the least. i also let off the throttle just a hair before that cross box. i remember i saw the red light go on but i definatly let off before that. so i dunno. im definatly gonna go to the next one. either way it was a lot of fun. hopefully i can get there a lot earlier and meet some of you guys. it was a lot of fun.

Haha you probably spent more time in the car than you did there

[mtg6486]

i did shi**y i jus pulled off a 13.3 and ive had the car go 12.9 with the sub box and spare but that was @ etown. i think i gota readjust the torque arm and it might do better. aside from that island was awsome food was good ppl were kool and i got 6 runs it so im defiantly comming back

His avatar looks pretty red....

I don't see an avatar for him? :-?

[79CamaroDiva]

Island is about 540 ft above sea level, which is usually good for about a tenth from atco, .05 from englishtown. Sounds like everyone had a good time. I hope the word spreads so we get a bigger turnout in the upcoming weeks. :)

The one there had black wheels but yeah I'd guess the red one was him then.

This is what I see for him

[79CamaroDiva]

Just an update, we're planning on opening tonight. Looks like we might get a sprinkle early, but clear after that

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm out for this one, I have to babysit, and the weather's not lookin so hot anyway.

[mtg6486]

yea i was the one with the black wheels i finally figured out why i did so bad. @ dyno day i only made 330hp and 341 tq. the 1st time i dynoed last year i made 350 hp & 350tq. i did add the 90/90 combo from fast so im thinking i got too much air and thats why i did bad

[Tru2Chevy]

Latest info I got via Text Message alert said they were rained out for the night.....

- Justin

[mtg6486]

yea looks like rain over here

[sweetbmxrider]

its supposed to get pretty nasty for a bit...
