I would like to take this opertunity to invite "ALL" DSM owners to the below event.
We usally do this in October, (end of season bash) but last year the weather got kind of cold for mid Oct. So were going to try it on September 8th.
It would be nice to see some of the cars and thier owners from this board come down for some fun.

• This is an event we would like to expand each year and is set-up primarily for the fun and enjoyment of our cars. With all the negative press that is directed towards modified cars these days, it is the perfect opportunity to legally race our cars and have some fun, without constantly looking in our review mirrors. So get your car ready and come on out, DSM’s are alive and well in Canada.

* For additional information or any questions please call 519 485 4358 or email detail@bellnet.ca

Some front mount intercoolers require trimming or cutting of the bumper steel but the car still appears stock from the outside. Will this be permitted?

Does full interior count if you've removed back seat and all trunk plastic?

Price for the event?

Also, the DSM Garage sale is that weekend.

Some trimming of the front bumper is fine to fit a FMIC. Also, DSM back seats are usless anyway and the trunk plastics don't help much for weight reduction so both of them removed will be fine as well. I've had a request for removing 1 headlight already for the Super Street class which is also fine. If anyone shows up in a DSM, we will find a class for them. The rules for the classes is a guideline so people don't think they can get into Street Stock with a GT42R. The north of the border enthusiasm and attendance is what's going to make this event a success for years to come.

i am in ! hope to see a good turn out guys.

Whats it cost to enter?

I am also in.

$30.00 for car and driver.
$10.00 for crew and or spectators.

I'm definatly going to TRY and make it out!

I'm definatly going to TRY and make it out!

Me too, as long as nothing else turns up that weekend.

Yag! I have a camping weekend with some friends that weekend, and I really wanted to go!

Maybe if something turned up... hmmm...

That super street class makes it a little biased for the big turbo guys. Most guys with a 16G are running at least mid 13's, then you get guys like Kevin, PPG and Helder running GT40's FP 3575's etc.

Will there be any competition for us who have stock appearing turbos running low 13's/high 12's?

Street stock is where you want to be Ryan.

I will be there racing in the super street class, as i mentioned in Norwalk last weekend. What tree will we be starting off of?

Street Stock? I run less than 14 seconds Tim.

E316G @ 24PSI, Meth, 780cc, Wally 190, -6 AN Tank-Rail, DSMLink, 2600 and AWD.

At least I would HOPE I would run less than 13.99 seconds.

Reza has the same mods and he's into the 11s.

Be there or be square!

Ryan, if I read your post right, are you saying that if you show up with a stock appearing turbo, run lower than a 13.99, that you will be put into Super Street? That isn't the case. The 13.99 is just to open the Super Street class up a bit for those guys that have medium to large frame turbos and just don't quite have them dialed in yet. Get everyone qualified and then anything can happen in heads-up. Trust me, there will be alot of guys on TDO5 compressors run well into the 12's.

Eric, if Pro Tree is the popular vote then I'll ask the track to run us on it. I'd rather run Pro because I think it gets rid of alot of red lights. Nobody likes to see the red go off.

Ahhh, ok. I was under the impression that if you ran less than 13.99 you were classified as Super Street.

So, if I make it, I could go into Street Stock and still run less than 13.99?

Yes, that is correct, But you must follow the class rules. As Pat said, there will be many 16g cars running in the 12s.

I'll be there. Don't know if i'll race or not, depends on how good my car is tuned by then.
All of us gta guys should convoy down together.

Yeah, everything about the Street Stock I fall into (TD05 Wheel/Housing and full interior minus back seat/rear panelling)

I'm going to try and make it too. The only thing stopping me is my car. Hopefully it'll be running in a week and tuned/drivable for the 8th. I need all the help i can get.

I need to start getting track experience. The car has taken me 3.5years to assemble....lol

Get'r done Mike. The more DSMs, the better.

So for each class are awd's against fwds? or will they each have their own class, inside the class?

In the Super Street class, fwd`s are not restricted to a DOT tire. In other words, slicks are allowed, to make it fair game.

Hey Daren, hope you can make it out for this one. Like Eric said, we're giving FWD guys more room on tire selection. AWD and FWD are all mixed together in every class.

I just cut the $hit out of mine, its got a big 'ol smile now

Well I guess Im out then, unless I happen to pick up a set of drag radials first. Not going to last to long in the super street class with my street tries against awd's....

I'm going! I'll see you hosers in the street stock class

I'm fairly positive you can still race T&T in between the event. IT's not as if once you are eliminated, that's it for you.

Out???????? Daren, ask Eric, Jason Harris, or myself what it feels like to get beat by FWD Hondas in the Power Adder at CSCS. haha. You could definately run the T&T if you get eliminated. Sept. 8th is not just all about the racing. It's about getting as many DSMs out as possible and show everyone that we can put together a North of the Border Shootout type event as well.

Me VS you...... I WILL WIN this time

The 30 bones gets us into the test and tune as well, Pat?

Ya Tim $30 gets you in the gates if you're racing in any class. If someone gets eliminated from a class and wants to go in T&T, they don't have to pay again.

Also, they have a test and tune from 6pm till 10pm the same night, following the event. Im not sure if you`ll have to pay extra for that one or not.

No extra.
Stay right through till 10:30 if you like. I'm sure more than a few of us will be there later. The Saturday night street wars will be going on, that can be fun.

Were giving out trophies for winner and runner-up in each class and we all know anything can happen in heads-up racing.

Hopefully my car will be done. Be a good time to loose my track cherry.

Whats there to do? I don't mind lending a hand. That goes for you too Mike, give me a shout if you need some help.

We've got a bunch of PMs and emails about tech. Teching at Sparta is easy. Make sure your DSMs are ready, everythings strapped or bolted down. We want DSMs racing and so does Sparta. We will be talking to tech down there and telling them to take it easy on everybody. Everyone will race.
The one rule that I know every track is enforcing this year is regarding helmets. For those of you that don't know, you need a helmet for anything under 13.99.

Your going to loose more than that once I'v finished tuning your AEM-EMS. Just make sure you use the bathroom before you launch that sucker.
