I love the video of Tim reeling in the hearse!

When I had to tow a car back form the states, what I did was go to a rental place (Discount) look at all the trucks and see which had a tow hook then go inside and ask for that one.
No one knows you are going to tow, and you save money

I'd like to say this, Reza:
Thank you for breaking your car in multiple ways, so that I had a fighting chance in hell of running close to you.

Ah!
just WHO is the better driver?

LOL. That took longer than I thought. If you had felt the "lag" between shifts I was getting, you'd know why.

I'm pretty sure I've fixed it now.

BTW: You know of anyone else that needed race gas to run an 11 that day? I'm pretty sure Reza ran his 10s on pump even...

Lag between shifts?
Have you seen my turbo? Jeez. I have huge lag between shifts.

Bite me. You're slow. Race gas or not.
You were running 26-27 psi. Did you see anyone else there running that high a boost level to run a 12?

You've always had that lag between shifts. I've just started to have it happen. Ie: it made me slower.

I know of one guy there that was running 32psi to get some 13s.

Btw: my 12.4 was WITHOUT race and WITHOUT meth. Sucka.

I like the rivalry.

this is great.

"Btw: my 12.4 was WITHOUT race and WITHOUT meth. Sucka."

So was my 12.1

But you are missing the point...for years you told me I couldn't drive. Now I'm going faster with less MPH than you.

BTW, getting a DD is what made you slower

Was the hassle/cost of adding that "bolt on" turbo worth 3 tenths?

You still can't drive. I need more practice. Remember, that was my first day using the stutterbox/NLTS in almost 1.5 yrs.

By the end of the day, I had cut 2 tenths off my 60' time. The exhaust manifold gasket had me in the 106mph range and 13s by then, though.

What about you?
You went from a 16g to a 20g and got SLOWER!

When its all said and done, you can say what you want,
But I've got lots of 11 second time slips. How many do YOU have?

Yeah that's what I thought.

Taking a look at the first video Jay posted, and man was I ever skating down the track
Not bad for a 10.9er on pump gas n meth

5th video that Jay posted, man did I ever make up some grounds in 2nd gear Mark
My reaction time was like .3 seconds, lol.

Reza,
At least you see allowed to talk sh!t.


I never said I wasn't a bad driver, because I know I am. My point is HE has no ground to talk sh!t. He's slower than me, and in racing that's what matters.

Best on 16G: 12.5
Best on 20G: 12.2

I think you need to go back to math class.

I have no 11 second slips.

I also don't have any slips that required gas I can't get at any gas station. It's gonna be a LOOOOONNNGG winter, isn't it?

Thats impressive - especially running 27 psi with no meth.

Mark, encourage your friends not taunt them and tease them

Yea Steve is definately slower, and I have to say your driving is pretty damn good from what I can see! The 11 second runs were nice

Lonnng winter it will be.....

.. world crumbling....

.. ego crushing...

You have one this battle, Mr. PPG, but not the war! I will return. Stronger.... faster.... quicker. (insert evil giggle here).

Funniest part of the day...

Steve and I are tech'ed first. So Steve says, come on let's go! And all I can think of is that this first race will set the tone for the whole day...meaning if I lose, it's gonna be a miserable day. Steve is the best at mental mindf@cks. He always messes with me mentally...psyches me out. So thank GOD I won that race

It will be a long winter.

I encourage Steve all the time:
To clean up the car
make it look pretty
and to run 11's


11.9x would be just fine

Also, please feel free to help me encourage my friends...

please email webmaster@ca.dsm.org and encourage him to fix his car

^^ YES!!! ^^

As an aside: PPG an I are very good friends. Between us, abuse IS encouregment.

(I've moved our "crap" to a thread it is better suited to..)

I finally got my account back so now I can comment. This was my first dsm event and the first time running my car. It was also my first time racing on a drag strip.

We left Mississauga at 7:15 on our way to the service station and got there at about 8:30 as there was litterally zero traffic. We felt a little out of place because we had the only trailered car and no one else had a fully stripped interior. Plus on the stock exhaust our car sounded wimpy. Also we were still running a stock turbo, injectors, sidemount and intake.

We got to the track and teched in. Then we took care of the exhaust problem with the saw. Cut the downpipe right at the flex. Problem solved. Took the car out for the first run. Which was the first time the car was driven since we finished it and put it on the trailer about 12 hours earlier. It got us a terrible 18.1et @75mph with a 2.3 60' . Tried again as I missed a gear due to no shift knob( forgot at home). Same thing, missed another gear and the car was running terrible.

Went to work on it and finally got my fuel pressure gauge working and found one of the problems. We were running 60psi at idle. Tried to turn the pressure down but it wouldn't go down, only up. After checking everything over we found a kinked return line. After we fixed it all was ok with the fuel. So we set the pressure and the timing(thanks for the light reza). As we were about to leave for another run ju asked about our lack of a shift knob. Then walked over to his car and took his off and lent it to us. And if that wasn't nice enough he looked at our engine and saw no boost controller and went and took that off his car too. What a nice guy.

We went for another run and got the best time of the day. 14.1@100mph 1.8 60'

we played with tire pressure and everything and that's all we could manage. We think our viscous coupler is broken. Oh well. Not bad for the cars and my first time out.

Just wanted to saw thanks to everyone who helped us all day. Especially Ju and mike.

Hope to make it out to the next event.

Wish I could have knocked 4 seconds off my first run!

The sawzall mod was awesome, Tyler! The sound of an open DP like that brought back memories of an old guy (Brett TerSmitte) and his "Millenium Falcon". (Fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!)

I've noticed in some pics of your launches that there seems to be a fair bit of tire smoke from the front wheels (For an AWD car) so I think you might be right about the VC.

That was a fun time.
Taking a car that was just put together and trying to figure out all the little bugs.

Congrats on getting it down from a 18.1 to a 14.1.
very respectable.

Why is there not one of these events every month or 2?

Cost would be my reason plus everyone having the time off at once.

For St. Thomas I could only afford to go once a year. If it wasn't a long drive. It would be easier for me to do it more often.

Having only one event makes it that much More "special".

Gives you something to look forward to.
Having a bunch of them would make people have to choose, because it would be unlikely you could attend them all.

I'd love to see more people next year. We could easily have 30 people without affecting the amount of runs you get.

How about different events then. Maybe a couple drag races and some lapping days? Especially if they were at different tracks. Its more fun if we do stuff as a group more often(sitting in a parking lots isnt the same).

Im sure we could probably set up a couple more events... But I agree there can be only ONE!! Peckerhead shoot out

For sure Jay since their is only on Peckerhead!!!

Ghislain.

With these events its all about someone stepping up and organizing it.

Most times it doesn't involve much effort, just a volunteer who can set it up.

Most of us Gobc guys are married with kids and jobs and very busy schedules. That is why we don't do many anymore.

But if you wanna step up and do one
