Mike's part of my convoy already

I think I have most of DSMLink fogured out now Moe, so yeah, glad to give a hand. Not an expert with it, but have the basics, and a printout of the manual in the car.

Here's the count, assuming the few who promised come through. (as I fully expect they will!)

Andy
Steve
Mark
Lionel Chichioco
Sergio Barros
Noah Wiles
Mike Jackson
Rob Strelecki
Paul Petricca
Nigel Smith
Dennis Camacho
Dan Jackson
James DeCunha
Matthew Steffler
Todd Meunier
Jay McClelland
Daryl Noble
Chris Holmes
Reza Mirza
Morris (Moe) Vervaecke
Kevin Kireluk

If I am off work on that Friday, I will be going down with Jay McClelland... so I hope to be there. I find out tomorrow....

I'll swing by to watch and bring the digital SLR. Take some high-res photos for everyone.

Well that settles that

Just FYI... confirmed our reservation today.
The track will phone me at 7am, with an eye on the weather.

Once we decide either way, I will post a fresh thread in this section, that will be very obvious.

So, when you get up on the 13th, check in here after 7am (or so), for the word, either way.

Aslong as its not raining when I get up I am going to be heading out. Cause I have to leave at 5. Im sure someone will update me on the news as I go along. I'd check the weather in the morning...but I have no internet at my house =[

Which begs the question: What ARE we going to do if it rains. I mean, hell, we've all got the day off, and $80 to burn. I *think* there's an indoor go-cart place in Hamilton now.. ??

We can head to Andy's for some good old hookers and blow.

Actually if it's raining/cancelled I'll be going into work. Can't really afford the day off but I'm taking it anyway if the race is on.

I'd be down with In go-karts something with speed. Would hate to waste the day away espicially if I'm getting up at 4.


EDIT: I know its not too accurate. But the 14 day forecast for Cayuga says cloudy skys friday the 13th. About 18 for the temp. Saturday and Sunday call for rain though

Anyone who will already be on the road at 7am, email me your request and phone number (cell obviously) and I will call you once I post.

Same here. I already took a day off today to install the FMIC with Paul, plus with Monday a holiday I would need to work if we got rained out.

The indoor go kart place in hamilton is actually pretty cool. If you have enough peopl you can do the Indy I think they call it. It is $50 to do 2 20 lap races plus a 15 lap final for the top 6 racers. Plus its something like 5 lap warmup. So either way you get 45 laps for 50 bucks. Not to bad even if the laps only last a max of 30 seconds.

My email $ transfer was just sent, just as promised

Well, I'm coming with my bone stock '88 Mustang GT Vert to get beaten up on. looking to get some "stock" runs in prior to modding next spring...So far I've managed to convince another 'Stang owner to join us for the day and he may be a bit more of a challenge!

Maybe I can line up against Moe and get my butt handed to me by my own old car!

^^^
That's good, maybe he can lend PPG his shift light
I kid, I kid.
It's actually sort of intimidating

I don't like the forecast for the 13th today. In the words of Ali the weatherman "Its gonna rain!".

Hopefully the forecast changes in the next week. In the mean time, if it does rain how many people are calling it a day?

Since when, can the weatherman, predict the weather?

They say, that within 500km of the great lakes, you can't predict the weather accurately, more than 6 hours out.
So, relax.

Confirmend, I am riding down with Jay. Look forward to meeting you guys!

Andy, who gets to call it a washout? Do we basically have to show up if it's dry out -even if rain is iminent? Or, do you get to call the track ans say "No thanks, it's gonna rain!" ?

I think I explained, but maybe not.

At 7am, the guy from the track will be calling me, and we'll collectively decide what to do.

Then, I will post the result on here, either way, for everyone to read.

So, if you have any buddies off the club coming, be sure they check this Test & Tune forum (anyone can read, without logging in) before they go. Or, you check it, and let them know.

I expect, if it's iffy, they don't care so much, as at that time of day, they can still call off the staff and ambulance services, likely with no cost to them.

So, I mean if there is a 10% chance of something, and the sky looks good, we'll go.
If it's pouring, we won't.
If they predict 60% chance of 1mm of rain, well... that's where it gets funny.
Usually the morning of, the weather network is pretty good here.

I just sent my end of the bargain

Hey Ryan you want to Ride in the 06' eclipse with Daryl or my car? Or you can fight it out with Adam when we get to Peterborough.

Screw that, I'm riding with you man!!!

LMFAO.....who wants to go with a non-turbo car?!?!

Well I got my car back together yesterday. The clutch could probally use a re-bleeding(I did it by myself with a 2x4 holding down the pedal) and a slight adjustment of the clutch, but other than that its shifting 10x better then before. I even have my boost issues solved, as I'm now getting my presure source from the lower IC pipe. My boost was either 14psi(to the WG) or 24psi(with a mbc), so you guess what I've been running the last few months . Now its time to test out what makes me more power, less boost more timing, or more boost less timing.

Ryan is just a little guy stuff him in the back! He would have tons of leg room back there.

I'm riding shotgun with you Jay on the way back or you can just let me drive, which would be better still.

"Now its time to test out what makes me more power, less boost more timing, or more boost less timing."

My money is on more boost, less timing.

I've been pretty conservative with my timing, because I run 9:1CR pistons. So to run the 24-25psi on pump I have alot of timing pulled. The car felt really good at 22psi with some timing added back in. I haven't compared 70-90 times to see whats faster yet, cause I found that my oil pan is leaking pretty bad. I need to drop the pan today and fix that.....yea more work!

Hey man if you both want in the Talon I don't care. Won't be me in the back seat.

On a side note..I broke one of my Intercooler clamps on my car Saturday. So its either going to be a slow trip or we are going to need to stop a few times to re-connect some couplers. Unless I can get it fixed tonight. Just need to make it hold over long enough for Ziggy to arrive at Cayuga

^^^ I have a couple spare T-clamps around. What size do you need?

Hey I only need the ones for the Maft. Should be 3" I believe, (thats what the ones I have on now are good for) If you don't want them Im sure I could make use for them. If you do Ziggy has me covered once Im at Cayuga. Getting my new couplers there =]

BTW Kevin, Where abouts in Oshawa we meeting up?


P.S. I just spent some time at lunch working on my car. I might be good. I will test tonight once I am off work.

Go to crappy tire and spend $3 on two 3" clamps. They work fine if you know how to tighten them without killing them.

Princess auto sells T-bolt clamps for $6

I already got clamps order from Ziggy. I tossed my old ones I got with the piping, seems to be holding just fine now. However, I haven't really got into the boost lately.

P.S. I went to crappy already, They dont have any t-bolts at the one here in Belleville. Only have the same kind I already have on the car. I think the fault is mostly the Couplers. But thats just my expert opinion *rolls eye's*

Go to a Truck repair shop. 10 Acker (sp???) Truck stop should have what you need.

Ghislain.

I hate the weather this time of year.

Sun, rain, sun, rain.

48 hours to go... as of this morning, not looking too bad, but we'll see. Everyone pray for rain today and tomorrow, so that it blows itself out.

^^^ Oh I'll be praying alright

And Andrew, by the way....I love your new sig

Well, so far so good...seems to be working towards blowing itself out

I think a LOT of us are REALLY looking forward to this event!!

Hope fully the sky will be clear, other wise we have to test and tune our cars in play station game.

Mehrdad

Looking forward? I booked the last half of my shift off and tommorrow off for this. Was going to clean the car out and all tonight and wash it tommorrow but it is raining pretty bad here in Blleville. Don't know about the GTA and that.

Kitchener had a big dump of rain this morning. It's supposed to rain here on Friday as well but not in Cayuga. It'll make for a tough call on Friday if it is in fact raining here and not there.
