Hey guys. I know we kinda discussed this before, so I though we should get on with the planning stage of it. Bud park is open for some runs soon, so I am sure many of you, like me, are itching to make an ass of ourselves with our cars at the track (or actually run good quarter times if you know how to drive)!

Bud Park's schedule is as follows for street-legals:

I was thinking we could meet somewhere for supper in Leduc (or Edmonton I guess) at about 6:00 and then head out to the strip for some racing action. I have never done this, so I don't know what time they run these on Friday night or what the cost is. They just changed the website, and I can't even find the same schedule that I posted above that was on the site a few weeks back!

Anyone who knows more about street legals at Bud Park please post up. Now we just need to see who is interested, and when we are going to try and do this.

yeah dude im up for this. anytime friday-sunday im off. i work 10 hour days so 3 days off! Woooooo!!!

 

All I know is that they changed the name of the park to Castrol

 

i might be able to make it on the 12th... im dynoing on the 13 but im not sure if i can make it up early enough on the 12th to race

 

I'm all for some of the later dates! woo! get my car next week! Gonna get the engine worn in a bit first though

 

Re-check website boys. It's Castrol Raceway now, and the friday night drags are sponsored by Trail Tire.
It opens THIS FRIDAY, MAY 5TH!!!!!!!
Go check it out, some new rules this year, and maybe earlier start times.

Have fun, hopefully I'll be up there for the 12th to try to beat my 13.7 run from last year.

 

Okay I'll go for the 12th too.

Head up there from work--so I'll be there about 8pm

 

maybe i should head up too and see what i run.... maybe some mid to high 12s with my newly installed NX 100 shot




















haha jk

 

you had me going there

 

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah: lol:

I'll be there early, likely by about 3pm.
I'll see you guys at the track then.

 

Wow, I completely missed this thread... not so sure I should take my car to race before taking it in for service on the 15th, but I'll definately be there to film and watch!

 

Hey leafy : "do it" ... "just ...Do it" ............................................."do it"

 

I now have to work till 8, will try and get off earlier but with this dissapointing news i will porbably not be racing

 

Ok, you twisted my arm...

 

^ Sean, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The synthetic oil is amazing stuff. It lasts forever and barely breaks down. If you are really worried, maybe see if you can take it in for the service before next week? Otherwise, don't run if it concerns you. I was kinda thinking I haven't had an oil change yet on my car, so I dunno if I wanna run it that hard through 3 gears with all the metal flakes floating around in the oil? Maybe I should do an oil change early too, or not run?

They didn't have all the info up yet, but it is now there. So it is $25.00 to run, and $10.00 for a crew? Anyone bring a crew? Do you only get one run for $25??? Cause I doubt I'll run under 16 if I only have one shot. Gauranteed wheelhop or missed shift! I never haven't hard launched this car yet.

I am pretty well good for any Friday, but for the 12th we seem to have some decent interest.

Is the 12th good, or do we need another day? Also, when and where are we meeting (doing something beforehand, or just dragging)? If the Calgary people come, they likely won't be out until 8 PM or later.

 

Not too worried about the oil as it was changed about 2000kms ago, only the tire residue and me complaining about the knock everytime I turn the steering wheel.

 

i have 10 000 km on my car now, and i had my first oil change at 7000 km. And i put on 22 passes at the track in the last 1000 kms without a second oil change (oil life still at 78%). So today i looked at my oil, and its still light brown with no flakes or anything. This is some good oil lol.

I think you will be fine to run your car. I have been really hard on my car ( i never bought it to baby it) and its holding up really strong.

So like I said guys... "Just Do It"

 

BTW, its 25 bucks for as many runs as you can get in.... not just one run :P

 

Now that is cool. $25 bucks is nothing. I guess it depends on how busy it is as per how many runs we can get in.

Does anyone know how late they run?

 

mmmmmm, racing..... and my non-lsd POS has almost 300kms on it....


crap and my truck is in the bodyshop for 2-3 weeks... arghhhh

 

I think until dusk, or Midnight

 

Damnit Cody you were right.....MAY 12th! argh....I can't make it.

I am going June 2nd then. I will have my Westers ECM tune done (Injen is on) so I want to see what a few mods can do at Castrol--as opposed to Race city where the air sucks!

 

I am always right...........





ALWAYS!!










muwhahaha

 

Looks like nobody going.
Including me.

 

sup were planning a mini meet this sunday at around 7-8. just me and Leafster atm anyone else is welcome to come. dunno where yet but just post if you wanna come this sunday and we'll figure the rest out.
