I have heard that Race City "Secret Street" will be opening on April 14th.

Like to see some people bring their Cobalts out and run them. Be curious to see what they do at our high elevation.

Anyone in?

 

i'll have to see where im at but im going to be there eventually lol

 

Funny, I noticed no difference in engine response when I was in Calgary this past January, obviously there is a difference beween preception and reality though, only a timeslip will tell.

 

A time slip has told. And there is a difference. Calgarys air density is usually over 5000ft on any given day.

I raced a bone stock 88 305 170hp TBI/auto/2.73 IROC at Race City. 17.0@80mph.

Went to Edmonton and raced at Budpark 16.5 sec.

Lost 0.5

Go down to sea-level and she ran a 16.2 at St Thomas Dragway in Ontario.
Its mostly on the top end you notice. Although when in Ontario the car could spin the tires at a 5km/h roll.

I would expect to runa 15.7 or better at Budpark. (I'll have the Injen CAI on by then)

 

I will be there, I was called out to race by a guy who claims he has the fastest N/A RSX-S in Alberta.

 

Is it a white one? If so he's a pretty nice fellow, I've chatted with him a few times.

Hopefully Secret Streets is a go on the 14th.

 

yeh and hes pretty quick...

he will beat a stock SS SC

 

So one other Cobalt...great Where are all the other Calgary Cobaltss.net owners?

I know there is a 4 dr SS owner here and some 2.2L

 

That's where you'll have to get interested in a meet in red deer, so everyone gets up and comes along.

 

i just got to find out my weekend rotation, if it falls right, i'll be there

 

nice tie in

 

Yeah I heard he is a nice guy too.

I chat with him through email.

He made a post on ************* officially calling em out lol.

I ordered Stage 2 today so I will have that installed for when I race him.

Although im pretty sure I could take him with just my intake and exhaust. (If i can get off the line decently that is)

......................

Last night, me and two buddies who both one 5.0L mustangs drove out to the boonies to race. I used to own an 89 GT so thats how I know these guys. Anyways, we raced 4 times from a stop and I won 3 outta 4 times by a couple car lengths at about 160 km/h. The one race i lost becuase i gave too much throttle off the bat and just sat and spun while he took off.

........................

ANyways, they guy with the RSX, me and him both dynoed 196 hp at tecmotion. i had 177 TQ and he had like 143 TQ i think. Oh yeah, I was stock and he is quite modified.

 

yeh hes got alot done to the car....


plus im sure hes done more over winter....

oh welll hes no worry for me yet....... lol

 

p.s. avro you know ill be there every friday racing. lol

 

weather permitting!

 

damn i cant i was called out by a gp gtp but my car is getting some new goodies

 

See, I knew it! Calgary sucks!!!!

J/K!!!

Come down to Bud and I'll join you! My work schedule makes it really hard for me to go down to Calgary on the weekends! By the time I'd get there it would be dark.

We'll show you Cowtown red-necks how we do it in the capital city!

 

Thats why I am goning to take a friday off work sometime and drive up. I work too much anyhow

 

avro, weather permitting, i'll be there

 

But... but... but what about us Pursuit Gt's ? can we come to

 

please do. I might swap your rims for mine though!

 

Sorry to spam the Calgary thread but...

The Edmonton guys are planning a meet for a Sunday night this month at about 7:00pm. It will be either the 9th, 16th, or 23rd of April.

So far, it has been agreed that we will meet at Boston Pizza (170St - 90Ave), next to the mall. We have one member from Calgary who will be in town ont he 16th for Easter, so if any of you other Calgarians are going to be down you are welcome to attend. Please be advised that at the time of this post, all this is still tentative!

Here is our thread: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/canadian-mid-west-112/edmonton-lets-plan-meet-15693/


And now, back to the regular programing........

 

Thanks. I remember chatting with you, the silver srt-4 right?
I remember you made some excellent progress with your times that night.
Hope to see you out there.

 

Not sure if we met???
I know there were about 4 out the night I chatted.(Aug.5/05)
I raced wolverine, ran a 14.3 to his 14.8. Super nice guy.
I don't think he was modded though...
I also raced a copper one the week before, anyone know him???(my 14.5 to his 15.3)
He was stock, talked to him. Love the colour.
Then, got spanked by the guy who has the stg.3 with dr's(his 13.8 to my 14.4)
He's a real nice guy, has the insane sleeper 300zx also.

Typically, race city is at least 4/10ths slower. About 2 for air, and 2 for traction. It's more on some cars, slightly less for those
that are well set-up on slicks etc.

There was a 2.4L SS out last year late, ran 15's all night, mostly high 15's, a 16, but I think his best was 15.7???
Not sure. I was impressed, pretty good for n/a.

Anyways, the nice cobalt guy I called out has some good mods now, so it should be a good race.
I'm making about 10whp more than last year, so 13's at race city are feasable with a great launch.
Hope to see you all there.

 

No racing until the 21st.
What a load....
