BANNED BUSINESS's

Norwalk Arby's. REMEMBER DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY OR EVEN GO INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE NORWALK ARBY'S. ARBY's doesn't want us there, they do not like our "crowd".

Wakeman Hardware. Another business that doesn't get it. The owner of the hardware store also owns the vacant lot next to our shop, this year it was roped off as he will not allow us to park there, even after I mowed this property for 2 full years for him as a (free) favor. Do not visit the store, do not use his bathroom.......he doesn't like that either. He is also one of the last or at this point probably THE last remaining business is our small town that is fighting having the street closed off for our event.

Only 32 weeks left!!!

Should be there, DSA will be my class.

Ghislain.

DSA here as well.

Then the war is on!!!

Ghislain.

You bet! Maybe incentive to get some Meth? Or a 50 Trim?

Nah, I'll probably just upgrade the B16G for an EVO16G. That should be enough.

Ghislain.

So you can't have any race seats in DSA/DSE?

What kind of times were people running last year in DSA & DSE?

Stock appearing exterior, Turbo, engine, and oh crap.... Full interior?

May have to "borrow" some from my winter beater.

Hello.

The mass of these two class' goes like so; DSA is low 12, high 11 and the DSE is low 11, deep into the 10...

Ghislain.

Ryan just bolt a couple lawn chairs into the back.

I Have wanted to attend this event for some time now.
I think I will try to get my ass there for sure this time.
Sounds like a great time!

Does anyone know if this would qualify for stock appearing? its still a tdo5 housing

Nope...

Your turbo must look like this:



This is where a sleeper 16G comes in from Forced Performance

Hello Randy.

I do not think that this Turbo would be accepted in the DSM Stock Apearing (DSA). I think that they mean a 14B looking Snail.

Now, I could be wrong, you could ask Dave B to confirm that the above Turbo is acceptable for that class.

Ghislain.

Will be there to just not running my car wouldn't want to get stranded in Ohio lol .

I hope to drive my car down for 2008 but that's pretty far away and who knows what will blow up from now until then.

This will either be the best or worst DSM shootout in history.

Ain't that the truth Tim.

Woodstock Shootout!!!

You guys listen too much to the gossip.

All SO are good to me.

Ghislain.

I don't listen to the gossip. I don't have much time for forums anymore, minus this one when I can. The issue is simply the fact that Dave is a baby but has run the shootout since it's conception. Some key guys may refuse to show up.

sh!t happends, I know that I'll be attending unless work dictates otherwise.

Ghislain.

Shep will be there, he doesn't have some huge ties to Buschur besides the block.

Rau however is a Magnus machine.

AMS? That should be fun.

Pruven and Dynoflash will be there, and I'm sure the Exedy Buschur track Evo won't be unhappy to enter into the EVO Quick 16.

Eh, Ryan. Did I say that I was gonna be there unless my Sgt decides to "ship me out"???

That is all that matters (or mathers)... Heck I'll even feed your gf some beers...

Ghislain.

Goody.

Hey Giz, check your PM.

I just did. Check yours...

Moi.

For those of you who are planning to attend the shootout to "race" there are a couple of gas stations in Norwalk that sell E85. They are 'Fuel Plus' on 211 Cleveland rd and 'Schilds IGA' on 171 Milan. From what I understand this 100-105 octane E85 is cost effective and popular with the folks who can get it. Just a heads up.....

You have to tune for E85. It's not like race gas in terms of a/f ratios needed. You need a lot more injector and an a/f wideband gauge kit which read lambda, not even mention you have to understand what lambda even reads.

Yes, just to add, you can't just throw in a tank of E85 and run crazy boost and crazy timing. Most cars running E85 are tuned for it and have the fuel support to use it.

Hardware is just as important as tuning for it.

Gee, so much for that idea.

^^^
Not to mention, you could blow yourself up!

I might be at this one, I don't work weekends so it's a good possibility

Won't be attending again, and what I have seen lately I wouldn't do anything that supports that POS D.B.

+1

I plan to go anyway.

Ghislain.

For me it is not a question of supporting anyone. I think it is a fantastic event, and look forward to seeing DSM's on the track all day long. I WILL be going.

Who else is going, and where will you be staying??

Plantation again. We made reservations last year, had to cancel them due to the car not running (and thank god we did, it rained), but we'll be making reservations.

I want to trailer the car down this year. I can get a trailer, and want to rent a truck. I just have to find someone over the age of 25 to rent the truck for me.

You don't have to be 25 to rent a truck.

^^ FYI, you HAVE to be 25 or have someone 25+ sign for you in order to rent anything from most companies. Car, truck, motorbike, boat... They don't like renting out to "youngins".

Bullshit, I've rented many vehicles without question, even cube vans, trailers and heavy equipment.

I'm 25 now but this was at least a year ago and I only had a g2.
