I'm really trying to make it to this event but can't confirm untill maybe Tuesday night. I'm fighting to get the car finished. Is it possible to confirm that late and meet you guys there in the morning and pay? I just don't want to say yes and then back out.

Bring it on. Try and get the car finished. If you can make it, GREAT! If not.. maybe next year?

Sorry Tyler, somehow I missed this. We're aiming to be there for 10am. (Meeting at the 401/403 merge for 9am).

By the time we all get there, get teched, and the track is ready, etc, I'm guessing we should be racing by 11 or so. It's not a "hard" schedule but if my old memory serves, that's about what happened last time.

Looks like good racing weather for you guys.

See you then.

Yes, spectators are free to come/go.

Mike: the rest stop we're meeting at (9am) is about 2 minutes past where you'll be looking for us.. easier to just go there?

Anyone swinging close to K-W on their way to peckerhead?

I'm comming from Stratford, I'm heading down Oxford road 6 though.
Your probally faster to jump on the 401?

Oh yea... I keep thinking we're going to Cayuga.
We're not, we're headed west. Whoops

I will be there to pick up a steering rack and spectate the whole day. Probably meeting with Rob S. In missy at 8 and following him.

I will bring a camera as well for some videos and pics.

Also, if someones car dies and requires some repair I am only 30ish min away from st Thomas and can offer my driveway (or garage if you help push my car out ) to make some repairs.

anyone leaving from brampton ?? would be nice to roll up with some fellow dsmr's ....also can anyone enlightn me a bit on the tech ? will tires be an issue things like that would be helpful ... thanks in advance Elias

The tech is usually fairly lenient on these days.

However, things like bald tires, oil/coolant leaks, loose batteries, and general overall condition is what they may look for.

If the car doesn't look like you were lucky to get it there, and you're battery is secure, you're probably OK.

We're leaving from Brampton. If you're at my place for 7:45, we'll leave BY 8am.

PM me for the address if you wanna come along. It will be myself and Chris H heading to meet up with everyone else at the 403/401 past Cambridge for 9am.

The tech at St. Thomas is always lenient. They generally just ask if your running nitrous, and pass you/ I have only been hassled once for a battery tie down and that is because it didn't exist.
A friend of mine went in a car that looked like a total heap with missing body parts, and a battery tie down made out of twine or some thing along those lines.

Where is this meeting place exactally? address or map?

BTW: this always comes up when a group goes racing... Bring pants to race in. You MAY be allowed to race in shorts, but you're not supposed to.

Tyler, if you need a hand with finishing your car, feel free to pm me.

Today is my day off work so I'll gladly stop by and lend you a hand (and some tools, jack, etc) if you need it.

With a high of 22° and no humidex

...and now that I've stated the above, bring your umbrella!

Good luck guys. Hope you all have fun and run some good times

I would come but cannot arrange a tow for my car, and its definately not worth it to pay for a Uhaul truck and trailer.
With no CAA coverage this year, it doesn't make sense for me to drive down there, with a likely chance I can break the car.

Have fun everybody, hoping to see some 10's and 11's...

^^ come down.
We can tow it to murtazza's house, and between me, him and the london wrecking yards, we'll have enough parts to fix you up.

I wanna see that white thing make a run

I think that would be more of a hassle towing it there and trying to source parts from wreck yards, so I can fix it and get back home to get to work the next day.

Almost makes a tow back home more worth it, as I have enough spare parts at home to fix the car if it breaks.

I mean if someone wanted to lend their truck and tow me to and from the track, that would be awesome. I think that is too much to ask for though

Reza, bring the new Talon out and see what it can do.

Put a hitch on the new Talon, and tow your race talon.

Reza you are disapointing me.

I will be driving almost 4 hours and will probably push it a little more than I would like. The risk of breaking is there.

We can always pull resources together and get your car back in shape for the treck back.

Pull up your Skirt!!!

Love

Giz!!!

Looking like I won't be able to make it. My mother is getting company from Germany on thursday, and I have to get a few things done for her before they get here

Reza, if you break anything, free from my parts car .

Really, so if I break a tranny, t- case, drive shaft or axles, I can take it off your car Brian ?

Anyone attending that has a BlackBerry, pm me your pin and I'll add you to our current bbm conversationn

Reza,
A quick call to CAA could solve all your problems.

Ok, I've booked the day off so I'll be coming for sure

I'll either ride along with Jamal, or bring my own car to race...

Thats what i like to hear!

I can also offer some 2G AWD parts to borrow if any one needs.. My car is down until next year, so not like I will be needing them any time soon

Stupid me just asked Dad and found out our truck IS in town

Called U Haul and no car haulers available, only the two wheel ones.

What do you know, Helder always come through and is lending me his trailer for tomorrow

Going to grab the truck and trailer soon....

I'll be busy tonight, hope I can get it all together quick

^^ sweet! Its good to see more faces for tomorrow.

I brought my jackstands/jack and just sockets/wrenches.

So far the line is holding up, i just twisted the line a bit. If she pisses tomorrow then ill just watch .

I didnt have time to fix the line (i didnt have the other car to putt around to get parts), and im in St. Caths right now, and the car is hot.

Ill keep a lookout later tonight and tomorrow before i meet up with Steve.

Nice.

I will even allow you to spank me silly.

Giz!!!

I'm pumped!
w00t!

That was dirrected at Reza not you Mark!!!

RESULTS???

Who spanked who and where are the vids/slips to prove it?

I ran :
10.94@131.92
10.93@132.61
12.3@80.47 (missed 4th completely and just coasted in neutral)
11.07@131.95

I could have prepared a little better as I was rushing things last night. Didn't get to bleed the clutch, didn't put in my new shifter cables and most importantly didn't do a boost leak check. My car was down on power and no matter what I did with the boost controller, couldn't get past 33-34 ish psi. Car wouldn't idle for sh!t and I finally realized my issues at the end of the 4th run.

My PCV valve hose was completely blown off, causing a massive boost leak at the intake manifold. I could just imagine how hard the FP3065 was working to keep 34 psi

Put a smile to my face when I saw the huge boost leak, as I was only running pump94 and meth injection, and still ran 10's, in this bootleg mode. Only difference from street mode was the slicks.

I decided since the car did not break, and the tranny had enough of a beating for the day, it was time to pack up.

All in all a good fun day of racing No one broke their cars, and there were some other personal bests. I'll let them speak for themselves

Other than that track prep was nothing great at all. I could fry the slicks in first easily.
