Sounds about how I was running at last year's ('11) SO...amongst other issues.
Also, for next year's SO. No writing on my windows by anyone unless you're a track marshal. Spent way too many hours cleaning that crap off and it stained the black outer window paneling and more. The red stuff was the worst...the white wasn't too bad but it also stained wherever somebody accidentally missed the window.

200Ks at the time. We are just about 800 km from Norwalk so it would take about 4 "cards" to bring one car back.

were thinking of either driving both cars and lending the trailer out. or we will drive one car and haul the other behind the truck. if we drive the truck we will be leaving the night before and taking our time. Its too hard on gas and the truck to keep up with jamie in his truck.

Ahaha...you know I'm just yanking your chain.
I've seen plenty of RalliArts...I'm still itching to see your beast of a car! Maybe I'll have to stop by Ajax on one of my many trips out to Belleville and back.
As for your comment about competing, I brought home a trophy last year and wasn't too far off one this year

I will go again but this time I am taking Monday off. Sounds like i missed most of the fun on Sun since i had to leave early. I am looking into renting a trailer for next time. It was way too many kms for my car. Plus i dont want to risk breaking something while i am 800 kms from home
Posted By: Jason Drew
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - November 30, 2012 02:55 pm UTC
I'm about 1300km away, I'd love to run the car but I've chickened out every time so far. My friend is a CAA tow truck driver and he told me they charge $2/km after what CAA covers, so that's about $2200 to tow the car back. Would be far cheaper to hire a transport truck to haul the car back.
I'd love to find a 2 car trailer to bring my DSM and my friends Evo behind my truck but that's a lot of investment for a once a year thing, not to mention the minimum of $500 of diesel it would take.

We always drive together and a few guys trailor their car. That allows for a few option in case one guy breaks.
Aside from bringing a busted car on a trailor we can always use 4/5 CAA membership to bring a car back.
The DSM Quebec also trailor a few vehicles.
The experience is defenately worth it so "lift up your skirt" and come along.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - January 08, 2013 12:03 am UTC
If i go next year i will trailer the car. That way i can make a few passes without the fear or breaking. I think u-haul rents car trailers.
http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/EquipmentDetail.aspx?model=ATI dont know how much it is or if i could get a lowered car on it but i will be looking into it for sure! It was a great time with a great bunch of guys.
Posted By: Jamie Valcamp
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - January 08, 2013 12:50 am UTC
Tim, a lowered car will definitely go on it. I have found it easiest to run the tow vehicle's rear tires up on car ramps to lower the back of the trailer. I also use 2X10's to extend the ramps further.
Posted By: Jay Stacey
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - January 08, 2013 02:14 am UTC
i donno... i watched ryans budy with a lowered audi drive off a uhaul car hauler and took out his fuel line on a peice of steel that giudes the tires.
what are you gonna haul the trailer with?
Is your car an auto?
Tim it can be done but uhaul dosent have winches on there car haulers.. so you have to drive it up.. Just have someone watch your cleanances so you dont bottom out.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - January 08, 2013 06:49 am UTC
I used to put ramps under the rear tires of the truck to get my cars on my trailer of they were too low.

That's great advice anyway. I was contemplating buying a cheap used trailer or renting one for the SO this coming season. Still weighing the need VS. want.
Posted By: Jay Stacey
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - January 09, 2013 02:36 pm UTC
a trailer is a need. i biult my car hauler into a utility trailer with sides. they come off when i need to haul a car.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 01, 2013 07:35 pm UTC
5,000lbs ya
Already have the hitch, just need a means to float the car, pack a sh!t ton of tools in the MDX. I MAY want to change my rear struts on the MDX before I do this venture and front rotors and pads.
Posted By: Shandon Lomoro
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 01, 2013 07:46 pm UTC
I think you're crazy, a trailer brake controller wouldn't be a bad idea either. Now that I looked up the specs the MDX isn't far off from my jeep in weight/towing. You'll just be turning 4000rpm the whole trip while I could tow it in 5th at 1800rpm.
If you need a hand getting anything ready let me know.

I would double chech that. Last I cheched it was 3500lbs. Also depending on how many passangers and cargo.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 01, 2013 08:32 pm UTC
A towing package includes a tranny cooler on the mdx. This is all info from our service advisors. Don't tell me they're wrong.
Posted By: Stephen Richardson
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 01, 2013 08:40 pm UTC
Yes I have installed many towing packages. I am not saying your advisors are wrong, but that info does not jive with the owners manual. Check page 187. Also if you haven't put a rad in that thing yet, I would for cost it is well worth it before the cooler blows out while your are towing.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 01, 2013 10:44 pm UTC
Well keep in mind. My car hauler weighs 2000lbs. Its a bit heavy for the avarage trailer. My talon weighs what 3200 lbs. Thats over the 5000 mark. and they say keep it lower then the rating. My Envoy 4.2l inline six...is rated for 7000 lbs towing and has daul piston front brakes and a electric brake controller for the trailer. I was at my limit.. my tranny was working hard. Jamie has a bigger v8 motor in he was having no problems.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - February 02, 2013 01:37 am UTC
I had the uhaul carrier and my 1g awd on it and it was not bad for towing but without the electric brakes it was really heavy to stop.
When i had my own car hauler with electric brakes i could put the full 5000lbs on it and stop as if it was not there.

Good score! That like a 4 grand savings. Plus labour of course.
So I checked the hitch data sticker and it says "5000lbs max gross trailer weight".
Think the MDX can handle it?
When I go onto U-Haul's webpage, and specify my vehicle..the dual axle electric brake car trailer is an option for me.

It could be aanother wonder if the world! Like Buscher said in the video.. there isnt another car club gathering as big as this.! and theres tons of stuff to do! Its the woodstock of dsm. Thousands of people and their dsms.. all having a great time together for 3days.Dranking.. racing... checking out amazing worldrecord breaking cars! meeting all the dsm gods!

It's about 6 hours non-stop from Richmond Hill, that doesn't include any rest stops or the border crossing, so realistically 7.5-8 hours. From Belleville add another 2 hours to it and you get our 9-10 hour drive. We go at a decent pace but nothing overly quick (unless you ask Jay) and definitely nothing ticket-worthy.
We usually get a bunch of 2-way radios and have some lovely chats between the vehicles.

I'm up in the air about going this year, what with the new business launching and all. I'll try to make it, but no promises. If anything, Sam and I will be getting a room. Cabin wasn't worth it for us IMO and it was too far away to walk to grab sh!t.
If everyone's going to the Plantation this year, we'll go there, but at the same time, it was a pain in the ass to get to food and shopping which is why I was considering Motel 6 in Sandusky.
Besides, that's where all the action is!

Jamie and I will be staying at the Plantation as per usual.
Can't beat the relaxed atmosphere, great crowd and no cops to deal with. Not to mention the management is very good about not hassling us for working on/playing around with our cars and there is LOTS of room for trailers/trucks/etc.
And not once in 3 years have I seen anything worse than a mosquito in the bedrooms or otherwise.

I've tried to make for the last few years. Last year I ended up driving by like 4 days after the event ended. The way things are looking now I'll be going through a week before this year. I'm trying to make it happen but will not know until around a week before.

Run Bracket Jay. If you're going to run, may as well compete. You never know unless you try.
I'm up in the air if I'm going or not this year. I really want to, but with business the way it is, it might be hard to get away.
I know the Plantation won't be booked solid for the weekend, so we'll see when time gets closer. I'd like to run either Max Effort, DSE or Bracket 1

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - June 21, 2013 02:59 am UTC
Growing up as a street racer.. the bracket thing dosent really apeal to me. Drag racing is balls out or nothing. Ill compete when Im running 7s. hehe.
Ryan do you qualify for stock looking turbo?
Posted By: Ryan Laliberte
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - June 21, 2013 03:10 am UTC
No, because my turbo doesn't look stock.
Bracket racing is still a competition, but it's also how well you know your car, and how well you can drive it. I'd still compete unless you want to lump yourself in to the guys who felt they weren't good enough, and a few Honda Civics......

We will be at the plantation thursday to monday. Were getting acottage room for around 350 I believe. And if you bring your car on a trailer. there is a really nice area to park the truck and trailer and drive you car off. and be able to park your car at your room door.Plus theres oodles of back roads around for testing on. You dont get that in the city hotels.

If you could solve those issues, I would LOVE to ride 4g63 powered scooter home from Ohio...

Sure...should be quick and easy, I'm sure!
With the 4G in there you'll have plenty of pulling power:

Sounds pretty intense! Ziggy, you're taking a scooter to the shoot out?
Also, it's just a shortblock. So, you'd need more on top of that

Whats it all involve that you need to get i from the states? There arnt any more shot blocks around anymore? I know of a rebiuldable 7bolt.. and Id sell my 6bolt short block for the right price.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - July 17, 2013 08:06 pm UTC
It's a built 2.3L 7 bolt for $800. Figure it's a pretty good deal. Weisco pistons, eagle crank and rods. Has 800 miles on it.

OK guys, i am about 80% sure I am going. Has anyone done a roll call to see how many are going for sure? Will you be staying at the plantation again? Or are there other options? the place Ruben and I stayed at was a nice hotel right in town.
Who is bringing a trailer with them? That is my only hold up. Last time i was there my clutch cable gave out on me half way home so I am scared to make the long trek without some precautions.

Plantation had wifi last time i was there. Using my cell there last time cost me way to much. Just turning it on was expensive. Looking for alternatives, cell phone people just advise you to turn your phone completely off. Even in airplane mode,messages are received and will incur charges.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 06, 2013 03:26 pm UTC
We take 401 East, then QEW/403 to the border (Peace Bridge) and then take I90 all the way. We always make a stop at the Angola Service Station for lunch/fuel once across the border. We usually stop before the border for gas, as Angola is still a bit of a drive from the border.
Edit: This is pretty much our exact route:

Ziggy, we usually leave around 7am which puts us in Cleveland at rush hour. We don't want to leave any later because we would get in too late and much earlier is too painful.

http://goo.gl/maps/nHthXYour route has us taking the 407. If we don't, then this is the same route minus a slight change:
http://goo.gl/maps/L7nN6 According to google, the time is just 1 minute more, although we all know the 407 at the time of the morning/day will save us more. Would prefer to avoid it though, personally. The SO trip is always expensive enough as is!

I'm leaving Thursday morning.
I will come up Wednesday night and stay at Jamie's place - if he can leave with us, awesome, if not, then I guess it's just Ghiz, Garrett, Jay and me. Or maybe just Jay and me.

I would leave the Plantation between 08:30 and 08:45. That would allow us plenty of time to have breakfast and get to the shop early enough to ensure good parking spots.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 17, 2013 04:05 am UTC
We all went for a little test & tune at the track tonight.
Knocked off a personal best on my 2nd run ever with an E16G.
25psi. Launching at 5250rpm. Shifting at 7750rpm.
12.67 @ 108.85mph.
1.80 60'.
3.9s 0-60mph.
Let off twice (had some knock).
Still a lot left on the table. 2 more days lefts. No meth, 11-second E16G here we come.
Posted By: Jay Stacey
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 17, 2013 04:56 am UTC
The Black Pearl made its first successfull pass..
Bogged off the launch and ran a 14.2 at 19psi..Lost against Garret by a 10th
Tomorrow Im gonna launch better and turn up the boost.
Posted By: Jason Drew
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 17, 2013 12:16 pm UTC
I made my first pass on the new tranny, 12.6 @109, letting off in 4th due to knock. I was nervous as hell, first time on this transmission and a welded center diff. Went ok though, this track is a lot stickier than I'm used to.
Now I need to tune for the meth and see what I can really do.

i think we all ran 93...the track had 110 and 112 for sale, but like $9 a gallon...
Posted By: Jason Drew
Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 19, 2013 06:14 pm UTC
I was running 93 pump + meth.
My best run was a 12.2 @ 111, 0.43 reaction and 1.7 60'.
Now I need to actually tune the car for the meth and get it deep in the 11's.

Re: 21st ANNUAL DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT - August 19, 2013 07:52 pm UTC
The 93 in the States was probably worse quality than our 87 here. It was AWFUL. I had to get rid of SO much timing to run it on that fuel down there that I never had any issues with on our fuel up here. Quite a few people have mentioned how bad the fuel is.

It varies a lot from company to company. I buy all my gas in the US but only from Mobile, Shell and Irving tend to make my car knock happy.

I was only buying from Shell given that they're reputed to be the best here and Shell 91 in Canada (Ontario, anyways) is THE gas to have (0% ethanol, etc.). It's what all the classic car guys use, etc. I use Petro 94 here, and I have had WAY better success with it than the Shell crap I bought down there. My car was knocking more than a Mormon in a new neighbourhood.
I'l have to try Mobile next time I'm down there!

I've had better luck with the Mobile 93 than the PC 94, and at half the cost. It all goes to hell after they start switching to winter blend as well.
