Noticed in the last few days that there are a few new owners who have recently picked up their new cobalts.

Shout out if you are a cobalt owner in Calgary!

Oh and would anyone be up for a meet tomorrow in Calgary? (Sunday June 18)
I wanna see who would be interested first before planning a location and time.

Why not. Dont you want to run a base time and then run again with stage two to see what your personal gain was? Its alot of fun.

Hmm that is a good point, i dont have a helmet or anything though :(

hey man were you in calgary today on deerfoot? I drove by a black ss/sc, tried waving but the guy never looked over when i was looking

No I wasnt... but you probly saw the same guy i saw the other day on 16th.

My car has cobaltss.net stickers on the side windows :cssNET: .



Oh and if you dont have a helmet, u can rent them at race city.

Or you can go to canadian tire and buy a cheap 70dollar helmet and use it. But as soon as you start running under 13.99 seconds, you have to have a snell 95 rated helmet i believe.

Seriously. This friday we should all meet somewhere around 5-6 oclock and then roll on down to the track. it costs 25 dollars to race, and 5 dollars to watch.

I pick up my new '06 Cobalt SS/SC on the 30th! I bought one in rally yellow with the ricaro package and window tint.
I can't wait!!!! (although I had to sacrifice my 5.0 Stang for it)

My last ride before my cobal was an 89 Mustang GT. GT40 heads, upper intake. MAC CAI. MSD Ignition. FRPP wires, spec stage 2 clutch. offroad h-pipe and 2.5 inch dynomax catback exhaust.

I totalled it though, then bought my cobalt.


Also... there isnt much of a break in period needed for the cobalts... just enough to break in the clutch becuase the engines are pre-broken in at the factory.

Apex
06-22-2006, 02:44 PM
somewhere central and semi close,

chinook wouldnt be bad to meet at the upper level parking at the back

edit:

btw

<---- names Wayne

Jekyl
06-22-2006, 03:21 PM
Hmm chinook isnt that bad..... I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 52nd street SE or along Glenmore....

Im not sure how to get to the back parkinglot at Chinook.... I am a NE boy.

Apex
06-22-2006, 03:42 PM
well if you can get me an address i can probably find it no problem *kisses maps.google.com* lol

Jekyl
06-22-2006, 07:00 PM
Ok. How bout 5 :30 pm at the McDonalds on 52nd Street SE. Its right near 52nd st and glenmore trail. Just north of glenmore trail. After we meet, We can cruise down 52nd to race city.

hmm...... Well racing at the track starts at 7-730. and you usually wait a half hour in tech inspection line up......

if thats the case, we might as well all just meet up at race city tomorrow night. get there when u can get there. Gates open at 5pm. Tech starts at 6pm Racing usually starts at 7.

I have a season tech pass so i dont have to wait in line like everyone else. but you guys will.

My name is Cody. My number is 969- 9833.

Yeah I think we should all just go to race city and meet there. becuase I know some people wok later than others.... I am on days off so i dont work in the day.

Apex

That wont happen. Alot of people bring the slowest cars there. you will be faster than half of them.

Alot of 16-17 second cars.

You will run low 15s if your stock. But its tonnes of fun. I really suggest doing it.

Well, I spent two years building it and got hit by a drunk driver 4 days after getting it on the road. :(
Here's the pics of my Stang
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/270540

It's got some body damage, but the front end was so hard to replace because the car is rare that the insurance company had to write it off.
So if anyone wants some BRAND NEW carb'd 5.0 parts, gimme a shout!

But i'm SOOOOOOO NOT going to miss the fuel mileage

Very nice stang Ronin. I loved the 4 eyed mustangs. sorry for the loss.

I hope u can make it out tomorrow.

Did you guys all get my PMs? If not...


Cobalt Meet tomorrow at Race City in Calgary.

The gates open at 5, Tech lInspections for racing starts at 6 and racing starts at 7pm.

try and get there at 6-7 pm so you dont have to wait forever in tech line.

$25 dollars for racing, and 5$ to watch. You guys dont have to race but i would suggest it, its fun. And you do need a helmet.

Ronin
06-22-2006, 08:20 PM
I'd love to go.. if I had my Cobalt...
Perhaps the mustang will still pass tech, it doesn't get written off until tuesday and I'm dieing to take it back to the track. (tech would probably just laugh at me)

CalgarySS
06-22-2006, 08:37 PM

I'll be there around 6.... I haven't decided if I should run yet.......... I'm nervous though....plus renting a helmet... ew! My friend wants me to race her SRT-4. I still don't have my launch completly down pact!! But thanks to you cody.. it's a LOT better than it was! :D! You're my hero haha j/k! Anyways.. I guess I'll see you guys all at the track tomorrow.........

avro206
06-23-2006, 08:58 AM
now we just need a 2.4L and 2.2L---just cause I am curious to see what they run

Jekyl
06-23-2006, 01:31 PM
Right on guys.

Hey Pascal, is that girl you want to race driving a red SRT4 with black stripes? Becuase I have beaten her twice at the track lol. It will be a close race between you two.



Weathernetwork says showers during afternoon, but after 5 pm it is suppossed to be clear.

I think we might have another good air night and will be good to go for racing.

redsuperchargedgirl
06-23-2006, 02:47 PM
Yes Cody, that would be Mandy.... I am pretty sure I can get my launch...... just worried of stalling lol! Anyways... I am sure I can get her.... it's all good though! I will see closer to 6 if I'll be racing... chances are that yes I'll be racing... but hey.. call me around 3... get together maybe go out for supper or something! See some of you soon! Hey Cody.. does that engine damper work!? I want to get one but I don't want to waste my money!
Pascale

redsuperchargedgirl
06-23-2006, 02:53 PM
Oh btw.. there will be a 2.4L out...Blue one....... he likely won't race at the track though... he never does........ Some of you know who he is! lol!

Jekyl
06-23-2006, 04:20 PM
Umm the engine damper did work.

but i think I was too hard on mine because I bent the brackets... I dont know If I will be using it tonight. But yes it did work for controlling alot of the wheel hop. Im gonna try and fuck with it right now and see if i can get it to function.


I am busy up untill 5 so I wont be able to go for any dinner or anything.
I will see yall at the track.

DONT RAIN!!!

Apex
