Sun. Apr. 17 - St. Thomas Test & Tune

So who's going to join Nathan an I on our first track day of the season?

I propose a convoy, departing Mississauga at 8am.

And in the event that the 17th falls victim to percipitation, we shall hold Sat. Apr. 23 on stand-by.

I'll be there if my super secret paint mod is finished.
Oh crap. I shouldn't have said there was a mod. Oh, crap. I shouldn't have said it was a secret. Oh, crap. I certainly shouldn't have said it was Painting.

Ah, it's too hot today.

Nice Simpsons reference .

I might be able to make it out for some shots at an 11.

My car is certainly not going to be a looker on sat. Still havent Welded in a new rear quarter.

I'm sure you guys wont mind!

Rear quarter eh...
What we can't see can't hurt us, right?

Ah nevermind, I'm tractionally impaired.

Hey Rob!!! I challenge you to a dual. Lets see im off next sunday too, I get paid this week(Providing me gas at 1.05) I think i'm going to try to get to that.

Well I think I'll show up with my sad ass multi color talon that runs like 16 sec.
Ok? Then every one can feel good about there cars and be happy your not me.

See ya then!

Looking forward to it.

Nathan, your sig makes me feel obligated to try drag racing sometime. I can't make it next weekend, but I'll keep watching the boards for the next one.

So we will see a good 5 dsm's out then thats great!

Hope some of the K-W guys will come down too!

I'll be there guys, can u give me directions on where in missisauga do u guys meet?

Ya a nother stop @ the Wendys on 401 in ingersoll would be good too!

Rob s will you be the leader for the convoy?

OK sure, why not

CONVOY will start in Mississauga at the Britannia & Hurontario (Hwy. 10) ESSO station (southwest corner).
This is one block south of the 401/Hurontario exit.
I will be there at 10:00 AM, and we'll leave at 10:15.

We'll stop at the 401/Wendy's service station in Ingersoll so that Joe and his technicolor dream boat can join the convoy, along with anyone else who's already half way to the track.
I expect we'll get there by 11:15 and head off again at 11:30.

Looking forward to it!

//EDIT - see updated times above.

Remember that the track opens later on sundays this year as a result of last years litigations against the dragstrip. I think it opens at 11 am on Sundays, can anyone confirm?

^^^
Last year it was gates @ 10, and racing 11-4.

Now, I have just called the track and their recording says the Sunday test & tune is 1pm - 5pm.

I have updated my CONVOY post (above) with the new times.

Thanks to Nate for pointing this out!

Thanks Rob....
You the man

SO gates open at 12 or at 1?

They're actually open at 9am for some other event.

I like to get there at least half an hour before the T&T starts so that I can get the car ready.

Anyone want me to bring over a bbq?

whether or not I make it there, bringing a BBQ would be awesome, Rob youre polish youre officially on keilbosa duty.

All I have is a butane burner, but I guess it'll have to do.

BYOM

For anyone whsoe been there whats the race gas deal like??
If I did go I think Id want to use at least 110..
anyone know?

They have unleaded Sunoco 104 I think. However, I hvae found that in previous years they don't have any in stock early in the season so it's best to bring your own.

time to go shoppin for a drum of toluene.

I'll be in London for a kegger, so I may make an appearance.

Its only fair to make him the leader of this convoy
This is probably one of the only times he'll be in front of a bunch of cars

Well actually, it's all part of the master plan.

They will all be fumigated with partially combusted Ultra94 on the way down, so I expect nobody will be conscious enough follow me into the track.

MMM I can smell the broken dsms

I'm going to try to make it

Sorry guys it seems I won't be able to make it this time.

Disapointing Mike would have liked to see the 2g awd!

IF anyone wants parts of my 2wd 92 turbo parts care let me know, I will bring them over to the track

Well....I cant go now. Famliy day. I was thing I could get away with it but I cant.
Rob if noone is going to be at Ingersol stop dont waste any time stoping there.
Thanks any way,mabe next time!
Joe

Do they test the car for safety? I'm still waiting for a 4-point harness for my new racing seats. How many KM is the track away from toronto? I only have 200km max.

Yes, I think we all thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour drive to Cayuga!!

Yeah its about 200km to St. T
Joe that sucks guy, Just tell your family you died.

I have rented a cheetah costume, so whoever runs the slowest has to do pushups whilst being jeered and cheered by the other dsmers.

If any v8 guys or honda guys try to jeer, the cheat has carte blanche to attack!!!

Nate..
Too bad Joe isn't coming, now we have no certainty as to who will be the Cheetah!

Ingersoll Roll Call!!!
Does anybody need us to stop at the Wendy's rest stop?
Speak now, or we'll see you later at the track

LOL Funny Rob just so you know I am now pushing 10 P.S.I.
But still the slowest

Ok here's the deal. I'm headed to Hamilton to Pauls house 9am to pickup a helmet. If I time it correctly I should be able to sync with the convoy at Guelph and the 401.
I'll have Rob's Cell to help me do that.

See you guys tomorrow.

Rain sucks

Did you get any passes??? How was the turn out??
Any one where the cheetah costume?

Welp, didn't beat my 13.3 but I'll take a tie. Damn rain, only if it were to give me two more passes to up the boost and switch to RPM mode on the MAFT.

Anyways, heres some pics.

Me


Elvis - Most clean and sexy 99 GSX I've seen - **** that car is HORNY





Damn that air filter is strong

Your pictures dont work!

I was pissed I only got one run. I likly would have been wearing the cheatah first and only run was good for a 14.0 at 100 mph with a 2.0 60

I was excited and dumped the clutch, that was low boost at 10 psi.

5 runs.
Couldn't shift worth a damn (thin tranny fluid), and I was just about to change the fluid when it started to rain.

I did get a good toon on though
Running slightly rich @ 19psi w/ 26deg max advance and zero knock

Here's a couple of pictures I took:

Rain?? I'm so glad I got called into work now. Well from a missing out on the rain I was.

When are you going to try to go again??

I want to go next weekend maybe.

Good pics you got!!!!!
