The 3rd Annual Peckerhead (DSM Canada) Shootout is ON!

When: Friday, September 28th, 2007
Time: 10am – 4pm (track opens at 9:30am)
Place: Toronto Motorsports Park (Cayuga Dragway) 1040 Kohler Road, Cayuga, Ontario
Event: The Official DSM Canada “Peckerhead” Shootout. (sponsored by Peckerhead Racing)
Cost: $90 per car, spectators arriving with a racing car are free.

Cost includes track rental, safety folks, ambulance, and track prep & spray on the first 60ft of track. (launch area)
The spray guaranteee and prep, is new this year.

The track is OURS for the day. Only those booked will be allowed in, so you'll get as many runs as you like.

The format will consist of Club DSM Canada members and approved guests. We welcome you inviting your V-8 buddies, or honda friends, so they can lay down a patch of rubber for us, and then watch as we cross the line ahead of them.
But they need to BOOK and PAY. (the gate will have a list)
Anyone can come out, as long as they pass tech, and aren’t a complete douchebag.

To repeat; the track is ours for the day.
We are not sharing it, nor are we renting out the lanes. It is exclusively for Club DSM Canada only. This means you can bring your shitbox out, and only embarrass yourself in front of the guys who will only ridicule you on the internet until the end of time.

Or, beat PPG's polishing compound box on wheels, and then ridicule him until the end of time... I know that's Steve's plan.

Many good folks are already signed up and going, and I know they will personally help anyone who is there for the test and tune with tuning SAFCs, MAF-Ts or DSMLinks. Everyone will be there to help out and we are all nice enough folks, so bring out your DSMs and get some proper seat and tuning time.
Why post a question on the board when you can ask someone in person, and then MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Just for fun, we will run a couple of specific classes/races, just for bragging rights. (you can try and claim a prize from Peckerhead later)

The schedule for the day (open to change):

9:30am: Track Open.

1:45: Eliminations Round #1
2:15: Eliminations Round #2
2:45: Eliminations Round #3
3:15: Eliminations Round #4 (if needed, likely not needed)

Between races, everyone else can just keep test'n'tuning... the times are just so we at least try and make sure we get done before 4.

At 4pm, the drag strip will close, but you are welcome to stay on the grounds until the "Fast and the Furious" regular Cayuga Friday Night event starts at 7pm.
Anyone from our group, also gets a $10 discount off the normal $20 price for that Friday night event, if they stick around.

Some years, we've gone back to my place in Binbrook, for a BBQ afterwards, and that may also happen again.
(as long as you behave!)

Interac Email Money Transfer me the $90, ASAP.

PayPal is also acceptable if you don't do internet banking. (everyone who does internet banking should be able to email me the money)
But I would prefer email money, because PayPal takes a % off on this end when I recieve it, and that costs me $$$.

What happens if it's cancelled?

Last year, it snowed.
Yes, snowed.

Everyone got their money back.
Period.
No Bullshit.
Those not on hand, were mailed a cheque.

It promises to be an excellent day!
We'll see you there!

Andrew

I'm installing my Carbon Fiber hood especially for this event. Compliments welcome at the track.
Sadly, my new engine will not be ready so I'll be cranking up the boost on the 16g.

Money sent.

I'm in, will e-mail you the money shortly Andrew. Hmmm, wondering if I should try for class # 3 with the 16g.

I'm out...crankwalked the brand new engine. Someone else come and kick Steve's ass!

Consider it done.

- Mr. King

Mmmm, interesting.

I'll put this date on the calandar. Will only know if I can attend at the last minute.

Will have ca$h on hand and will do my best to kick some Peckerhead a$$ for you if I get to show up.

Ghislain.

I'll be there to get shown up I'll be baselining a pretty much stock Magnum R/T -complete with two baby seats in back.....

I am truly sad that I am going to miss this...look forward to hearing all about it when I get back ..

"Consider it done. "

I've heard that before.

If I have to take you down, instead of PPG.. so be it.

No worries Mark, you can operate the starting lanes and the timeslip printer.

Or be like Rich Christianson from Pinks and arm drop them.

Andy, my $ will be sent later today!

I'll send my money the second my car has a center diff. Anyone have one?

Who's in so far?

Me.

I will... granted I get a center diff.

My money is sent, whether I can make it or not

I'm paid up.

Geez... already??

Forgot to locktite something?

I'm still finding absolutely no humour in having to tear it all down again...and no it technically wasn't MY fault, but it is MY problem.

I will be there to watch though. Might try and pry the Magnum away from my wife for the day, cause I think the mini would be just plain stupid to bring

Damn I am going to see if I can come I hope I am able to send the money Thurs

I know last minute but if thats cool I can probably work something out with the GF and work for this event. I havn't been to the track at all this year and with a limited amount of spectators would be nice when I screw up LOL

Anyone from Mississauga-ish area want to caravan down?

If you bring the mini, I'll give you a 1/8th head start.

OK, we realize it's short notice, but it WOULD be nice if we got some more people out to this. So far we have 12. Last year we managed to get 24 people together. Are there REALLY that few of us with running cars?

$90 DOES seem expensive compared to a regular T&T. Once you go to a day where the track is yours, and there's a total of 30 people or less though, you'll realize WHY we do it.

It REALLY is that much better.

Also, if your car isn't running WELL, this is the perfect time to figure out what's wrong. There will be a lot of knowledgeable people there, and a dragstrip to test things out on right beside you. Get it fixed, AND run a personal best.

Looking good for me. Let's see if I can finally get an 11 on pump.

James, we can hook up somewhere enroute if you like? I prefer to take the 407 out that way though

That could work, although I'll be coming from Trafalger and Dundas. So I'm not quite sure where you'd want to meet.

James, I'm at Walkers and Dundas. Do you want to meet somewhere? I'm planning on leaving at 8-8:30am.

While we're talking about meeting places: Are we going to all gather at the Tim Horton's at Hwy 20/Mud street again?

Hey, if you need another set of hands im just a few blocks away.

Im still trying to get into this T&T since my car is running rich and all the overlords, err i mean the veterans are gonna be there .

But im trying to switch my CPR training that day so...

My quote from last year's Peckerhead S/O

"They're not old, they just have much wisdom to share"

Would I be able to come with the colt? I just want to test and tune...don't feel like embarrassing myself against everyone else.

Sure would... just get in touch with Andy.

By all means.... everyone is welcome.

No dickheads though... this is a Peckerhead shootout.

Rob, that sounds good.
Theres a big plaza right by your house right?
Maybe Mark could meet us there too since its right by the 407.

I also like the idea of meeting up at that Tims on Mud street.

I'm not meeting anyone cause I'm 99% sure I'll sleep in. I know in advance. On another note, how you guys want to organize the food and sh!t. I usually get hungry at the track real fast.

Someone mentioned bringing a BBQ. I can't bring a BBQ, but I will bring a pack of burgers/buns to throw into the "pot".

James,
I just remembered that I'll be dropping off my daughter at daycare so I'll probably end up being right around 8:30 (maybe 8:40) when I can meet you guys. It is about 45 minutes to the track from my place.

There is a plaza at Dundas and Walkers Line with a Tim Hortons. It's quite near the 407 & Dundas. If that's good with you, we can meet there.

We can then make a stop at the Mud St. Tim Hortons.

Has anyone heard from that guy in the lambo orange talon?

You mean Todd? Yes, I have.

Is he coming or what?
