Indiana balts track day

So as i'm sure most of you have noticed it is getting cooler out. And as you all know that is the best time to get the best time for your cobalt. Or any car for that matter. I am trying to see who all would be interested in going to ORP. I am flexible for what day. Usually they have street legal drags on tuesday nights. And occasionaly they have a midnight madness on a friday night. There are three drag nights left this month. The 11th, 18th, 25th. For October they are the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th. I figure we can do a few of them but its up to everyone. Its $15 to run your car and $8 to watch. So lets try to see when we would like to do this.

Why not Muncie on October 5th? That is Fast and Furious night. Burnout competition, bikini competition, imports vs. domestics, bikes, quads.......

I would probably be down for ORP though. Great track and the prices are a bit better.

Jimmy I should have called you up... I went out to orp last night... got their pretty late... only made 3 passes I'm very happy with my balt @ just not happy with my driving....
I hate to say it as much as I love orp... since they had had the us nationals their a few weeks ago... the track was horrible I spun the tires all the way to 3rd gear this is what I ran....
first pass I ran by myslef ( I kinda stole a spot b4 the motorcycles ran...

r/t= .444
60'=2.331
330=6.289
1/8=9.425
mph=78.11
1000=12.122
1/4=14.371
mph=100.58

second pass I was lined up with a dodge stealth.... I think I was pacing his start too much and thats why this was my worst pass.... I ran this time with just my intake=(

r/t=.534
60=2.491
330=6.539
1/8=9.675
mph=78.43
1000=12.363
1/4=14.622
mph=99.32 the stealth ran 16.326@84.99mph


this was my final pass the sun was just seeting and guess what I get lined up next to??????????????? =============== A 427 SHELBY COBRA....
I look over to the guy b4 he puts his helmet on to ask... whats that run the 1/4 @ he says
not very good only 13's ....as my car shakes from the power his motor is making at idle....
so I ended up getting 14.2 almost 14.3 but thats enough to make me happy....
r/t=.519
60=2.255
330=6.233
1/8=9.361
mph=78.60
1000=12.043
1/4=14.295
mph=99.63

oh and this is what the shelby ran... (our times may have been diffrent but I was only 2 cars behind and I was closing in if we had more track I dunno what a shelby top speed is but I do know that its only a 4 speed
r/t=2.62
60=2.028
330=5.507
1/8=8.425
mph=84.25
1000=10.941
1/4=13.103
mph=103.36


anyways I had a great time and will be returning next tuesday night hopefully with diffrent set of spark plugs and maybe... a corsa touring exhaust if this deal falls through....

^ true! I seen so many last time I lost count.

I just ordered my K&N for the airbox mod and I'm going to have Fast06SS tune my car when I get back from Boston. He's closest to me.

Muncie is full of SS's.

ORP sucks ***** unless its a National event . Muncie may be homely ''errr , but its cool track and I hooked good enuff for a 2.1 60 there on radials .

I'm gonna wait to see what the weather does b4 I'll commit... Muncie's track is kinda out in the sticks and gets cold as *uck plus if its on friday night the rush hour traffic is gonna be a beast.... so gsmith I would add some drive time to that number I said b4 rush hour starts around 4:00 and goes late to about 7:30 berfore traffic is actually flowing

I'll definitely, definitely be there. My co-worker, roommate, and the rest of the Muncie Street gang are going.

It's the last one before they close the track so we all need to make it. I will not be running.

BRING THE REDLINE. I've seen 1 in person and that's it. lol

So that wasn't you I saw the other day in Muncie? You have a twin I guess.

Does anyone here have extra parts they'd like to sell to me at the meet? I'm in the market for an air filter and I'm sick of buying ones that don't fit. If you have extra parts bring them with you!
