Race city says there opening for secret street on may 1st anyone planning on going from calgary?

 

I'll be there for sure

 

Assuming there is no snow on the ground (knock on wood) I may go down just for ***** and giggles.
Not too sure I want to run, never 1/4 miled a car with fwd before but it would be nice to see a few of the 'Balt Bretheren out struting there stuff

Will be there the 23rd and 24th, season opener for the bikes on the roadcourse
Looks like I may be the starter this year, gonna see how that shakes out.

Last year for the track gotta get out there while we can!

 

Ill be there be nice to see some of the cars out i might bring my other car as i havent ever ran a 1/4 ever before and am curious to see what it would run. its a ford probe with a klze swap with bolt ons lsj is still faster though i just want to practice launching that i dont care much about

 

check that... Im going to Castrol on May1!

 

Ya thats right rob you know you like it up in Edmonton better!!!!!!!

 

maybe, but no racin until car is done make over.

 

i'm there. about time i can get rid of this racing urge i've had all winter

 

Ok just a question for you local guys is hitting 14s in a stock ss/sc optomistic for my first time out? some guy on beyond "local forum not sure if you guys go on it" is sayin he had the fastest time on the local cobalt forum in his rsx at 13.5 and that stg 2s are lucky to get mid 14s

 

the stock # at sea level is 14.445 sec. some guys on this site are hitting 13.5's

 

im twitching for some racing... I will be there as long as there is no snow...

 

Weather should be good for friday i hope im goin first time out probably will spin all of first and get a 17.5 hopefully i dont embarrass my self that bad though

 

^^ be good to meet you... should be a good time

 

I might be coming out depending if I'm doing my install that day or not. Would be nice to get some base numbers if I'm not though.

 

anyone no what time secret street starts at ?

 

I think tech usually opens at five

 

and ends aat 7

 

well tech goes till about 9ish actually. racing starts at 7. so you usually want to be there between 5 and 6 to get a few runs in before it gets too crowded but seeing as its the season opener i doubt it will be too packed.

 

Just a note to you all....the city (in it's usual wisdom) has decided to start ripping up 68th so they can build a new access into the dump. Drove by last weekend and the only gate accessable is the far north one (media / sponser / vip).

You will not be able to get to the gate from the south, only from 114th. And traffic will be stupid, expect the line to start somewhere near 52nd

At least the forecast looks a little better....can't see getting any grip at all with the track at near freezing....brrrrrrr

 

i've always gone 114th from barlow. that and i'm usually there right at 5 so traffic won't be an issue for me.

 

I have friday off ill be going early right when it opens. yeah the forcast is lookin ok for friday so im pumped

 

I think I should be able to make it. Don't see my install happening till Saturday if even this weekend. Just got new tires so I have traction again!!

 

The rsx guy is right.
When I ran stock I was like a 14.9 and that was in Edmonton where the track is just about exactly .3 faster than Calgary. So yeah if you're stock and a good driver you will be lucky to hit 15.3 ish. Stage 2 will be around 14.7 about. The one and only time I raced in Calgary last year I was like 14.2 all night long I could not break into the 13's. Yet in Edmonton I can run 13.8 all night.

So yeah that's just my experiance.

 

yeah guess ill see on friday what i run hopefully i hit 14s even if it is high 14s i dont wana be running slower than majority of the civics

 

I ran 15.1 in Calgary completely stock except for airbox mod and I'm sure I could have done better given more runs, but will see this Friday I guess.....then there was the time i messed up nicely and ran a 17 cause i wasn't paying attention lol
