If you got a helmet then sure i take you down the track. Im not sure if you gotta pay more come along but easy to find out. So yea if you can get ahold of an approved helmet then i take you down the track. I raced an older RX7 last time at the track, cant remember the time but he trapped 106mph lol
If you guys are still in Mission at 10:00 PM LET ME KNOW! I'll be at home by then from work!! Or if anyone wants to go for drinks/meet/greet afterwards. :guns:
Depends if i work the next day early or not. If not then i be staying past 10 pm that night, i dont drink though but we can meet up
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-10-2008, 08:44 PM Ok so i have friday off, so as long as weather permits which according to the forecast it will, i am deffinately going to be at the track Friday night to make some passes, so everyone coming, post here!!
Look for the stock black cobalt SS lol
maverick0716 08-11-2008, 02:35 AM I'm going to get my car down there by the end of the season......but most likely in September or around there. I might go watch on Friday though.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-11-2008, 11:20 AM sounds good
kingg5 08-11-2008, 11:32 AM If you guys are still in Mission at 10:00 PM LET ME KNOW! I'll be at home by then from work!! Or if anyone wants to go for drinks/meet/greet afterwards. :guns:
definatly still there
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-11-2008, 11:53 AM ^^^^^^^
RobHole 08-11-2008, 12:57 PM I need to rearrange my amps/cap to be on the back of the seat rather than on the sub box itself so that i can pull out my sub box when i go to the track!!
CSuttie 08-11-2008, 05:04 PM im in, lets go
supeCobaltLt 08-11-2008, 07:54 PM i may come in my LT :P
pacific cobalt 08-11-2008, 09:14 PM I'm going to get my car down there by the end of the season......but most likely in September or around there. I might go watch on Friday though.
If there is something in september I will try to make it
Need to get my cams tuned first and buy a helmet.
Interesting though if there were a few cobalts out there to get some runs
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-11-2008, 10:38 PM they have street legals all the way until the beginning of october, so im sure we can do another meet after this one because im still going to this one for sure lol.
SupeCobaltLt, bring down your lt man, race it, trust me we wont be the slowest cars there, people race suvs, stock dually diesel trucks, mini vans, beat up hondas etc. But we deffinately wont be the fastest either, theres some turbo hondas, a supra that comes down sometimes and others but its a real blast going down the track.
Hell i took my Jeep liberty renegade 4x4 down the track when i had it. Ran a 17.4 @ 78mph lol
BTW pacific, you see your car breaking 13's once its all tuned? dont need a helmet unless you run below a 14 flat.
RobHole 08-11-2008, 10:42 PM I've been for high school drag racing but never been for just watching street legals or racing my own... What time do things typically wrap up at?

You only need a helmet if you're 13.99 or faster. I think the only other reason you'd need a helmet is if you want to take a passenger.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-11-2008, 10:53 PM I've been for high school drag racing but never been for just watching street legals or racing my own... What time do things typically wrap up at?
really? you living in mission have never went? jeeeze, on the site it says it goes until 11pm, you gotta be there before 7 to race i beleive because you need to see the tech guys.
you should really race your car man, its soo fun lol
pacific cobalt 08-11-2008, 11:13 PM they have street legals all the way until the beginning of october, so im sure we can do another meet after this one because im still going to this one for sure lol.

Good to know
Really don't see my car hitting the 13's so I should be ok

I will race as soon as I move both my amps and cap+wireing to the back of the seat instead of back of the sub box so I can pull my subs out. I don't think they'll let me go down the track with my subs in the trunk :thumbsdow
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-12-2008, 02:13 AM factory sub ftw... sounds plenty good enough for me
eurochevy 08-12-2008, 02:15 AM I will race as soon as I move both my amps and cap+wireing to the back of the seat instead of back of the amp so I can pull my subs out. I don't think they'll let me go down the track with my subs in the trunk :thumbsdow
why not they let me go with all my work stuff in my trunk ahha
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-12-2008, 02:37 AM well hopefully we get some people to show up to this, we have plenty of bc people, mise well try and represent the cobalts well
supeCobaltLt 08-12-2008, 09:00 PM ok unlimited convinced me... i'll come ;) . watch me lose every single race LOL
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-12-2008, 09:18 PM trust me, i went many many times to open track night, itching to race but was too nervous, finally took the plunge one day and never looked back, its a blast!
For those that are coming we need to set up a meeting point!
supeCobaltLt 08-12-2008, 09:48 PM i'll wash my car that day... i may lose but at least i'll look good doing it! :lol: laser blue for the win
CSuttie 08-12-2008, 11:53 PM laser blue for the win
word.
umm, anyone have a problem with meeting up at coquitlam town center?
supeCobaltLt 08-12-2008, 11:56 PM how about meeting up in surrey? like in the mall parking lot or something.
CSuttie 08-12-2008, 11:59 PM well im in white rock so thats no problem for me, but unlimited is up in the ridge. you and i could meet at guildford, then ride to coquitlam to meet up then on to mission.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 12:06 AM ya im not back tracking away from the track, you guys have to go through ridge ne ways, unless you know another way there. But if your going through ridge let me know and i meet up with you somewhere in ridge. If not then we will meet at the very front of the track, like before you go through the entrance.
So we have 3 for sure people? may be rob at the end of the night and maybe eurochev?
CSuttie 08-13-2008, 12:15 AM ya im not back tracking away from the track, you guys have to go through ridge ne ways, unless you know another way there.

im under the impression euro wont make it out unless he replaced his clutch without me hearing about it...
and i suppose i can go into the ridge... just name a location and link me a mapquest for it so i dont fuck shit up
supeCobaltLt 08-13-2008, 12:22 AM my money says euro will come :lol:
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 12:29 AM im sure supe knows how to get to ridge so meet up with him and then come down to ridge
supeCobaltLt 08-13-2008, 12:33 AM i can get to maple ridge no prob.... i just don't have the area memorized :lol:... where abouts should we meet you? and at what time? i get off work at 4.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 01:03 AM haney place mall at 5:30?
supeCobaltLt 08-13-2008, 01:05 AM haney place mall at 5:30?

_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 01:09 AM yea but no later we need to make sure we are there for the tech guys lol
eurochevy 08-13-2008, 01:24 AM my money says euro will come :lol:
you son of a bitch im purposly not coming just to prove you wrong :lol:, and yea guys i'll try to make it out i might be a bit later though i won't have a chance to leave till like 430 i think at least speicaly if i actually work in the morning
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 01:34 AM u gunna race?
CSuttie 08-13-2008, 03:46 AM can't do 5:30... i get home around 5. how about 6?

if so where and when?
hope you can make it euro!
supeCobaltLt 08-13-2008, 08:14 PM do you wanna meet up with me in surrey then head to the ridge together? (i dont know the ridge at all, and have never been to mission)
if so where and when?
hope you can make it euro!

RobHole 08-13-2008, 09:44 PM You guys better stick around until at least 10:00PM when I'll show up to watch!
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-13-2008, 09:47 PM well you better show up then lol
eurochevy 08-14-2008, 03:25 AM mmmm well if everyone else is racing i guess i should race, any one else with another ss/sc or at least a ss with a few bolt ons i wanna race ...with my clutch im dead in the water at around 14.5 LOL and only a 94 mph trap speed i dunno why i should be like 98-100 or something like that haha stupid cat is giving either false readings or really is scrweed haha
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-14-2008, 11:37 AM i got a stock 2.4 ss and i beleive Csuttie has a 2.4 SS with an intake
RobHole 08-14-2008, 12:24 PM I have a lightly modded 2.2 ;) but I wont be able to race on Friday, I'll be there at 10ish
kingg5 08-14-2008, 03:50 PM fuckin work..im not off of work till6pm and iam working out in langely on friday..so i hafta take the blazer home to coquitlam then pick up the G5 n head out to mission..so i should arrive around the same time as rob hahaha..speaking of rob..we need to race lol
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-14-2008, 09:51 PM why dont u take the g5 to work? if u take it to work and then go straight to mission you make it in time to get through tech and race
REMINDER!!:
To any of you guys racing, make sure your bring a pen to fill out a tech card and PANTS they wont let you race if your wearing shorts or a sleevless t shirt.
supeCobaltLt 08-14-2008, 10:30 PM i have an automatic 2.2 :lol: ... what if we come bottomless?..
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-14-2008, 10:34 PM then you be arrested..lol
My suggestion is to wear shorts and just bring pants and put them on when ur racing, going to be mid 30's tomorow, no way im wearing pants all day lol
victory_red_SS 08-14-2008, 10:40 PM If only I had someting to race with. Hopefully in a couple of weeks the daily driver will be ready.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-14-2008, 11:11 PM you must drive something around town...bring whatever, race it! lol
supeCobaltLt 08-14-2008, 11:18 PM you can ride eurochevy down the racetrack :lol: just make sure you wear pants :lol:
btw csuttie meet at guildford mall parking lot around 5:30?
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-14-2008, 11:40 PM u gunna be able to get to ridge in a half an hour from guilford? lol
supeCobaltLt 08-15-2008, 12:09 AM i'm gonna have to try... i get home close to 5... so won't be able to take off much faster than that :(
victory_red_SS 08-15-2008, 12:15 AM you must drive something around town...bring whatever, race it! lolI drive a pickup and who knows maybe next time I will race it as the 6L engine can spin the first 2 gears.
Tomorrow though I have to move my wife's youngest daughter to Victoria, yeehaw empty nesters again (until the next kid comes back home)
you can ride eurochevy down the racetrack :lol: just make sure you wear pants :lol:
btw csuttie meet at guildford mall parking lot around 5:30?That just sounds so wrong :nono:
u gunna be able to get to ridge in a half an hour from guilford? lol
The Port Mann is likely to be very ugly so expect an hour to MR at that time of day.

They are already accross the port mann, its pointless for them to go back accross then to take the pitt river, that'll take waay to long. Hop onto HWY 1 East bound, take 264th exit to 56th, follow the backroads. There will be signs to show you how to get to Mission. It'll be the quickest way from Surrey.... thats the way I take home from work. From Surrey to Mission takes a half hour! You'll end up going through Matsqui then over the Mission bridge, right to the race track ;).... It'll be a lot faster than back tracking then taking the Lougheed.

i don't know that route.. i was actually going to be taking pitt river road. care to email me the directions with a little more detail so i can print em out?
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 02:15 AM just make sure u guys let me know tomorow!
I dont want to be waiting at haney place as you guys go to mission lol.
eurochevy 08-15-2008, 03:35 AM i doubt im working 2morrow so i actually will probably be able to meet whoever at guilford town centre
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 04:08 AM great to hear! do you know the route that rob is talking about? if so maybe you could show the other 2 and we will just meet infront of the mission raceway entrance at 6
supeCobaltLt 08-15-2008, 09:46 AM so we're not meeting at haney then?
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 12:50 PM well not if u guys are going the other way that rob says, its up to u guys, i dont mind meeting there lol.
The way rob suggests u dont go through ridge but get there faster
RobHole 08-15-2008, 02:21 PM go to the 264th exit, head around and keep right to go North, turn right at 56th and keep going straight and over the train tracks, until you get to the end of the road. It'll have a lot of twists/turns/loops. You'll have to go through a 4 way red stop (which you keep going straight until the end of the road). Turn right when you get to the end (there will be a sign that says Mission this way). Then you'll head over a second set of train tracks, right after, you'll turn left at it (again there should be another sign that says Mission. Keep going straight, it'll take you through Matqui (you'll know by the smell), until the end of the road where it says Mission, turn left (abby mission hwy). Then you'll know the rest of the way, it'll take you over the Abby-Mission bridge.
oh if you have further questions, I'll be at work but I'll call back, PM me for my cell # if you don't have it already and I'll give directions that way too.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 02:25 PM well i hope they have internet access at work so i know if im going to haney today or not lol
eurochevy 08-15-2008, 03:32 PM :lol: wow rob that sounds freaken crazy all thoughs at the end of the road blah blah blah haha how did you find such a route haha
RobHole 08-15-2008, 03:53 PM :lol: wow rob that sounds freaken crazy all thoughs at the end of the road blah blah blah haha how did you find such a route haha
Remember the meet+greet in Mission back in March... it was the roads we took to go to Langley... all the twisties lol... Been taking those roads to /from HWY 1 since I moved to Mission when I was little. Its fun and its faster than taking HWY 1 to the exit that takes you to the Abby-Mission HWY.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 04:40 PM Running out of time, i really hope they can get on and let me know which way they are taking so i know where im meeting everyone lol.
eurochevy 08-15-2008, 05:06 PM Running out of time, i really hope they can get on and let me know which way they are taking so i know where im meeting everyone lol.
778-242-8262 thats my cell call me if you need to talk about it cause i got csuttie and supecobalts number we're discussing whattime/ where to meet
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 05:12 PM perfect! thanks, i pmed supecobalt my cell, whether or not he has internet at his work, if i dont hear from him in the next hour i give u a call to see whats going on, thanks again
kingg5 08-15-2008, 05:36 PM fuck beans im totally screwed for this...cars at the dealership for an idle problem..gf had to take it in today..so im stuck with the fuckin blazer...who wants to pick me up haha
RobHole 08-15-2008, 05:42 PM fuck beans im totally screwed for this...cars at the dealership for an idle problem..gf had to take it in today..so im stuck with the fuckin blazer...who wants to pick me up haha
I can... but I'm not driving you home.... You can get a ride from one of the others on their way back from Vancouver.
I can pick you up about 9:15ish on my way home back to Mission from Burnaby if you want.
I know that at least eurochevy will be heading back to Vancouver, maybe you can hassel him to get a ride back, its on his way home!!
We'd be in Mission approx 10:00 PM
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 05:43 PM Depends if any of them are going through coquitlam or not, once i find out i let you know and see if anyone can come and get u
kingg5 08-15-2008, 05:58 PM alright man sounds good. stupid G5 has a nasty idle problem all of a sudden...well not all of a sudden..its been getting steadily worse for a while now..time to trade in...anyone want to buy a body kit n rims? perhaps a leather interior? oooo and my avic z2 is for sale..i should make a thread.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 06:34 PM ur parting out ur car?
if you guys need to get ahold of me the number is 778-998-3134
kingg5 08-15-2008, 06:58 PM im thinkin about it...if i get some good leads on people that want the parts then sure...only thing tho...if i sell the kit whoever buys it i want there factory bumper covers in exchange plus cash...
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 07:10 PM are u getting rid of the car or just going back to stock?
RobHole 08-15-2008, 07:42 PM Depends if any of them are going through coquitlam or not, once i find out i let you know and see if anyone can come and get u
They'd have to if they live in Vancouver/Burnaby.
HWY 1 and Lougheed take you both through Coquitlam to get there ;)... It would be senseless for someone living in Vancouver to waist time going throughout Surrey to the Putello bridge or head through Richmond, waist of time!! :guns:
What!!! Your considering on parting out king???
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 07:58 PM they are meeting at guilford. Oh well, haney place mall at 6pm guys! Seeing as u cant race rob u wont be able to bring ur car over to the racers side, but be easy to find us, never any other cobalts at the track lol
kingg5 08-15-2008, 08:14 PM ok guys ill be there...and yes rob im considering parting out..not only am i sick of the negative comments about my bumper...im just sick of the gutless G5...time to get a evo8
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 08:14 PM shoulda turboed it, evo8 would have no balls without a turbo either lol. So is rob getting you?
kingg5 08-15-2008, 08:28 PM ooo shit gf mod got mad so im not goin to the track....fuckin bullshit even after i found a ride lol...oh well..my buddy kevins goin in a white rx7...runs 16s lol hes a cool guy tho i told him to look out for you guys as he is goin alone..he wants to run a 2.2 or a 2.0 either way hes gonna lose but still..see if u can set up some runs against him..his car is uber loud..like a chain saw on crack...so yah..sorry guys. hope to see some cool vids...ive got a friday off in two weeks and il definatly be there ...so we should try to set s0omething up for then.
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-15-2008, 08:33 PM gf mod? whats that lol
kingg5 08-15-2008, 09:02 PM hahah thats the mod that deletes the bachelor mod...i dont recomend it..
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-16-2008, 02:38 AM if she was mad, that be more reason to get out!!
Oh well, we only got 2 runs in, track had a big oil spill when we arrived, hour and half later it was done and there was a shit load of people there, big VW meet there, so that didnt help.
My best run of the night was a 15.8, humid as hell in the evening, didnt help my times, before my best was a 15.6 so hopefully next time i can get some more runs in with less humidity lol.
Euro chevy set a new record, i let him tell u about it
kingg5 08-16-2008, 11:50 AM well im glad i didnt go then lol..
_UnLiMiTeD_ 08-16-2008, 04:11 PM yea ur right stayin at home with a pissed off gf is MUCH better....
