Shannonville 2014

Its racing season!

Heres the 2014 Shannonville schedule!

http://www.shannonville.com/index.cfm?action=main.events&year=2014&month=5&category=0

First Mix n Match is may 2nd. 25 bucks gets you unlimited 1/4 mile racing AND track racing!

I should be there with atleast 1 DSM!

Anyone else????

might be a go, I think I'm on days that week.

I saw the lancer back at your house the other day... Was still on jack stands... But it moved.

Yes it does move...

Sled won't be ready but probably for the next one.

Ghislain

Depending on how next week goes, I'd like to go down there and show my friends brother who just bought a new mustang what a fast car is like.

How many people usually show up on a day like that?

Well there is about 10 of us dsms.. But i only think a few of us are running at the moment... But there could be lots of other cars... Including slow ass mustangs!! The stageing lanes are usually full of dsms... Hondas... Mustangs.. And full out blown v8 drag cars!! slmetimes even a viper and a few porchas... Altho the porchas seem to light up the track!

Even a few bikes and skidoos show up and race!

And just to thro it in there... I have a flat bed trailer if someone neede to be towed back home.. Plus If I like you.. I could possably provide somewhere to crash!... Sleep that is.lol

after we got the transmission back in, the car had a bad wheel bearing, Lisa was nice enough to let me use the press while Giz was at the north pole visiting Santa Clause. she's back together now, makes all sorts of irritating noises, tracked down the major ones and seems mechanically sound, I'm down to a squeak and a click, which I'm pretty sure are benign. Also gotmy summer shoes on now too

And unlike Cayuga, they let the cars play with the bikes and sleds! Todd had a nice race with a sled years ago at S-ville

Ain't the best Track but always a bunch of fun!!!

Ghislain

I donno... How many tracks can you drag race and track race the same day... Take passengers... And drink beer!

Sure .. Most other track feel better under my rubber... But this one is definalty fun!

You can't take passengers on the drag strip at Shannonville, actually, and it's one of the things I don't like, besides the awful track surface(s).

It does make for a fun night though

Ya.. You can take passengers on mix n match nights... I took my kid several times on the last day last year. You cant take them on test n tunes... Cause they are run by the lucksville turnimant.

I'd have gone to cayuga instead, but don't feel like cutting a hole for the battery kill switch for the relocated battery just yet, if ever. I hear they are very relaxed about such rules.

Very relaxed!! we dont even need helmets.. But i do. My mom said I had to.

Altho i raced at Summet motorsport during shoot out with a rear mounted battery and no kill switch.

Cayuga is no passengers on cars quicker than 14 seconds.

YES! new rules for me!

And a helmet for fast than 14 I think, or is it 13

Probably won't make it out for a while, if at all this year. Just bought a new car and it's hard to convince the wife to let me throw my Talon back on the road.

But we'll see. If I do make it out this year it's with a SMIM, new aluminum exhaust and a properly working nitrous launch.

So... Whos going his weekend??

Can't this week, spent all my dough on a fish tank. It's also supposed to be raining all the way through to Sunday too.

on night shift...

Wont be going...2g is down. Somehow cracked my 02 housing wide open.

cast or stainless?

Stainless steel.

Been there. Cast ftw.

Ya but then ill have to buy a manifold withan external flange like yours.. Or run internal... Which wont happen.

Let me guess, waste gate port broke off?

No... the downpipe...pipe.... Its still half welded... But its filling my engjne bay with sut. If i keep the 20g, then ill prolly run an internal gate till i can afford a cast mani with a 38mm gate. Bt if I run the Holset... Then i have to play with a tubular manifild. And I aready have a cracked dsm tubular header thats no good!

FP manifold + bolt on Holset + PR stainess o2 housing w/wastegate was my setup and I loved it.

Another Mix n Match this Friday.!! Anyone gonna show up?

Eric????


Paul???? heard you kicked some Viper ass at Armdrop acouple days ago!

I have a leave pass in...hopefully I can make it...

you going to have a trailer with you Jay? lol...my confidence in the car is low at the moment...

What time? I may show!

I'm heading out now, hopefully it dries up long enough to get on the track.

Im not gonna make it out.. But if you need me. My trailer will be ready.. Give me a call 6138476270

Good luck Garrett. Don't break that new-ish tranny!
Getting the new wheels on tomorrow. Should be out for the next one.

Glad to hear that some stepped out.

Post some results.

Ghislain

14.5 was my best...between boost dropping off to about 8psi, and poor track conditions...

2.4 60ft, spinning tires in 3rd...I can usually do a 2.1 on the dunlops, and I normally have moderate traction going into 2nd, tonight 2nd gear was not useful at all.

will 12-14psi push open a 1g uncrushed BOV?

new-ish tranny lived to spin through 3 gears another day!

Mine didn't. Plus, stock boost is 12psi already.

It's the 2g bov's that suck.

My uncrushed held 25psi.

After about 12 passes i was only able to get 11.6/136.5 with a 1.93 60foot, i got 3 136mph at 34psi. Just could not hook up spinning all 4 in 3rd. got my best 1/8 mile 106mph.

Crushed 1G Rock. I wish I would of never get rid of mine.

IIRC; you crush it by about 3mm and you are good to go till the cows come home!!!

Ghilsain

Good results Paul. You should get more traction later in the year.

Same for you Garrett.

Ghislain

ok so, I'm leaking boost some how...or my wastegate is getting stuck open (my actuator is not OEM)

anyway, traction, or lack there of, was the major player...

If you kept last year's setup, and added slicks you'd be running much quicker! FWIW around 10years ago I was 104mph thru the 1/8th with an old school FP Red and 30psi. Work on the tune some more, I'm sure there's plenty of the power left on the table even with less boost.

Or take your car to Cayuga and blast off a 10 on a real track lol

I honestly think that I'm done racing that car
. Had it for the last 19 years now its time
just to enjoy it for what it is. I just don't have the time to fiddle with it. Its more then fast enough for me and it always puts a smile on my face.

I'm just teasing I'm sure WOT always puts a smile on your face.

Paul, at least it was fun watching you chase down that 700+ HP new shelby!
On a side note, my (new to me) 2004 PT GT did 15.3 @ 88 all stock!

Got 1 pic from last night showing Paul's 3794 Talon, friends 300 + hp Mazdaspeed, my Pt and the V6 '05 modded Stang I raced, most times we'd be even other times he'd catch and pass me just at end!

I'm going to be at shannonville next Monday...but for a lapping session! Straights are for loosers, real men need steering wheels.

If anyone wants a ride stop by! (this assumes my car makes it there and through the sunday autocross...so no guarantees:)

So Jamie Valcamp and I ran tonite! would have been nice to see some more DSMs!!!

First couple runs for me were smooth but I was only running 23psi so I kept running consistant 13s. Tried raising the boost but one turn on the MbC put me at 30psi and my Blitz BOV wouldnt hold it. Lowered it to 26psi... And It ran awsome... But created a boost leak. By the time we found the leak, it started raining. Untill next week!

Cool, but too bad we missed you guys-for sure nxt time!

A couple of vids from Friday. Looking good out of the hole Jay!

Wish I could of been there. Should be able to make it next time.

Ghislain

There is one this Friday correct? If so I'll be there!!

This friday there is a Mix n Match! Im hoping to have 2 cars there. And then saterday there is a armdrop. So this weekend would be a god time to visit!!
I wont be going to armdrop.... Too busy

Well I went yesterday. Did 5 passes and finally got in the 13's with a 13.8 & 13.9 Not bad for a car with just a Exhaust and more boost!! Plus I think my tiny 14B is on it's way out or the housing is cracked it's original with 185K miles!! Spool time is way down.

Then after that I just killed it on the Nelson track for the rest of the night

Proper!!!

I'll be leaving next Saturday and will be back around 15 July. We should have a beer call at my place mid July and try to step out for a local before the SO.

Ghislain

Mix & Match Aug 1st I guess...

I'm at the next one for some shakedown passes on the old setup.

I should be at the Shediac N.B. Lobster Festival. Otherwise I'd be beating down on the newly rebuilded Tranny!!!

Let me know how the shake down goes and I'll let you know how big the dozen of Lobster I ate were...

My first event will be 1st Aug. Then it will be the SO!!!

Ghislain

Anyone going this saterday to shannonville mix n match?

Still in N.S.

Ya.. I know Ghis.. I see you having a blast on facebook. Were trying to plan to all get together on August 1st. You said will be at that one.. And its the last one before SO.

I need to replaace the front inner boots on sandras 1g for her to race. And I have a few more things to iron out on my 2g... To be ready for tomorrow.n

I have one of those special Pliers for re-installing the Clamp back on. You'll like it!!!

Ghislain

BUT... Im doing them tomorrow! is there a key for your house? lol. whats your garage combo? I would much prefer that tool.

No key, no combo and the alarm is on!!!

Ghislain

Cayuga is about 600 ft above sea level. It's harder to run a good time there compared to Shannonville.

HAHA, and I always thought it was the other way around. The real ballz are at the drag strip, not 300 WHP cars driving in circles on the circuit...

I'm not sure about that, have you ever been to Shannonville? lol If you want to see a track where prep makes it more slippery than the street -this is it!

Ok guys....
August 1st...
Last mix n match before shoot out!.

We are planning both dsms and a truck'n'trailer. Full of tools!

Lets get a good turn out!!

As previously stated I'm planning to be there!!!

Ghislain

Why all the tools? Do you expect to break down? For the 4 hours it goes on for, what do you really expect to fix in that short of time?

Pfft... If I can't fix it with a set of pliers or a 10MM wrench, it's getting brought back to the shop.

Should have it back on the road next week.

its more for encouragement for people to show up. Plus Im a firm believer in Murphys law

Lol if my car breaks at the track I wouldn't even try fixing it.


I probably will be a no show....











































In the Galant Muahahahaha.
More than likely bringing the trailer queen

Ain't that the truth!

I got my tune figured out sort of...should be back in the 13's next time

Sooo.. whos going tomorrow??


I will be hopefully

im in

In

Should be there for a few Laps and a couple of pass.

Ghislain

The night before!!


Everything looking good!!

Nice freakin' garage, Jay

That's Jamie's garage!

Ya.. I wish. I helped biuld it.

Drive safe guys. I saw 4 Cops at different location doing radar on my way home from work; 10 minute commute.

My bet is that they will be out everywhere over the week-end. We should expect a few on the way to S'ville tonight.

Ghislain

The hour before!! JSB style

I like the cardboard on the floor Corte; classy!!!

Just came back home. Pretty good turn out. Started by doing a few Laps. Car ran pretty good and the old Dunlop still got some life out of them. Plan for me is to wear these bald!!!

Migrated into the 1320 area and did 6 Laps. Nothing to brag about as I cold not get the thing to Launch properly. Dialed in 5750rpm and the bloody thing would still bog. New Red does not like to build boost that quick and the SB Clutch does bite quite hard. Shot some flames at the back of the tail pipe after I engaged AntiLag; that function is pretty cool. Will play with Cam Timing and will increase Launch RPM; should do the trick.

Car ran quite well and pulled like a Freight Train once the stupid Boost decided to kick in.

'Morrow is an other day...

Ghislain

It looked fast on the track Ghiz!!

Awsome turn out!


Track sucked! Everyone was complaining.

Did a lap on the road course just to see what the fuk it was all about. Tires stuck well around the corners.. car heated up fast tho.. gonna try a colder thermostat.

First 1/4mile run, I sat 2steppin way too long waiting for the stupid tree to go.. flooded a bit and bogged out my launch.

By the end of the night I ran a 13.0.. That was 23psi.. stock 2g timing map and heavy rims...so I got some timing to bump.. And Gonna maybe have some Potenzas on my light rims for Ohio!

I got some vids.. post them tomorow

Guys , you wanna get together on some back road and do some group tuning before shoot out??

Very crowded night Probably the longest lineups I've seen in a few years.
I only managed a couple of passes after turning some corners. Would have done more but I blew a fitting during the first pass. It still seemed to run OK but decided to play it safe and not try to push it.
Still managed an 11.5 @ 124 with severe pre-turbo exhaust leak. The track prep was better than last time. A few more clean passes with proper boost and .........

Good to see a healthy Club turnout again.

Hauled the mail but not out of the box!!!

No back road tuning for this guy.

Ghislan

Haha, It does the job!

Me

Ghiz

Jamie

Me

Cort

Jamie.. the Camero you see in the vid.. runs 10s" on NOS!

Ghiz should have had this guy!

Me racing Paul.. but at this point, was too dark for video.

Paul and Wade

Me and Cort

Garret

Looks like fun. Wish I could have joined you boys but I'll have to wait until the post-shootout Mix & Match/Test & Tune. Maybe I'll make a trip out East next weekend to check out the goods before the Shootout!

Thanks for posting the videos.

Ghislain

Thank Sandra for taking them

She drove the mobile tool box, and her and my son sat and took the vids. She wasnt there 5 minutes before I got the TXT "Can we go back and get my car?" But there would have been no time.

Its video from her new Samsung s4.. the daylight was "OK", but the night vids suck.. I actually expected more from this phone.. maybe its not set up right?

Ghiz, see if you can get thatt video your buddy made to put up here.. I cant get a link off it.

Jay you will never be happy with low light performance on a phone, the lense is far too small.

whooo!! 13.99! lol, don't think i'll run a 12 this year, but hopefully with some meth, more tuning, electronic boost control amd some slicks, I can make it happen.

So who is going tonite?? i will be there watching... And can bring tools!

I should be there with wade.

I was going to come, but I'm writing this as I sit in Michigan between interviews, so it's a no go for me =(

I was going to but then the car needed some prep, and people kept coming over to visit, so I said frack it, and took a nap instead lol.
