Race City next week
 
First night for the season!:twothumbs You know winters over when the track opens up!

Now---is there anyone with a 2.4L SS or 2.2L that plans on going?

I don't care about the S/C people---you'll come for sure, I know! (and kick my ass) :lol:

I'd sure like to line up against a 2.2L 5 speed

N/ADC5 04-27-2007 11:34 AM

I'll come and race you Mike, we never got one last year.
Anyways, I'll be there unless my wife is in labour...;)
I'll be shooting for 14.0@100 that night, and hopefully 13's after I figure out the tires.

i have never been down a track before... can u believe that........... i'll probly just stick to the streets

an0malous 04-27-2007 05:58 PM

you should try it. once you run down a track once and get that buzz, and pickup your slip....youll see why people hate on street racers, and tell them to go to the track.


track > all.


N/ADC5 I assume your running slicks?

hmm...street racing: dangrous and stiff fines/penalties

Drag racing: time slips and you can see if you can actaully drive your car.

tough one:lol:

saunders1986 04-27-2007 11:26 PM

Yes sir. They are tricky. I'll get 'em figured though. Hoping for a 1.9x 60 ft.
Best on street tires was 2.097.

Come and try it once, you'll never look back. It's so fun. I still get butterflies first pass...

saunders1986 04-28-2007 01:41 AM

half the reason i dont wanna, is cuz i'll end up doin somethin stupid like stalling, or braking somethin..... than everyone will laugh LOL...........

outtamymind 04-28-2007 04:23 AM

hey i've got a 2.4L, and im going, i might bring my car depending on if she's out of the shop by then. but even then im not racing yet. i've only got 5800Km on her so she's still trying to find her groove. but i'll definetly see you all there.

NiShiftSS 04-28-2007 11:16 AM

i probably wont be there unless i i get a ride there someone drove into my door......
im pissed ......

MLeclair 04-28-2007 11:57 AM

I'll be there, should be fun, hope i partner up with some fun rides. N/ADC5 we should race heh. I'm sure you'll beat me though.

I'm all over it. Only one way to find out.
Cody was right there with me last year...
You'll run 102-103mph likely, but I'm sure I'll have the better 60 ft, and likely 100mph.
It'll be fun, and that's what it's all about.
:twothumbs

N/ADC5 04-30-2007 01:41 PM

Weather looks ok, hopefully it stays that way!!!

Banzai2.4 04-30-2007 01:49 PM

im stoked.. my mom would killme if she knew i was coming to race..

an0malous 04-30-2007 02:15 PM

Went out to a quiet stretch of road and did some runs with the interceptor.
to get used to launching with the summer rubber again.

(yes i know interceptors arent accurate...but it gives me a relative idea of how im doing)

I did a 13.65@105 (again, dont even bother breaking out the flamethrower..i know its not right.)

so i really think i have a chance at maybe getting that 13.99 run this year woohoo.

Easily possible. Always good to practice. The bad news is that the road is better for traction than the track on streets. It does help to get a feel for what is good though, just might have to adjust the rpm a bit.

avro206 04-30-2007 09:05 PM

maybe the 11th will be rain free...you can forget friday :(

an0malous 04-30-2007 10:45 PM

lol maybe if you dont have any torque ;)

Banzai2.4 05-01-2007 01:32 AM

damnit... rain called for on the 4th :(
