This weekend Ill be there watching A Drift Event..Drift4kids! Ryan would have more info.

First MixnMatch on April 21st full day!


Common guys get your motors running! Dont make me represent with my 17sec auto!

I do have more info, thanks bud!!!

Some of my good buddies are drifting at this event, however proceeds are going to Children's Mental Health Services. There will be a helicopter flying all of 50' above the ground getting video of the drifters and you can ride with a pro drifter around the track.

Responsible rides will be there supporting the event as well!

So next Test n tune is the 11th.. If im there I wont be racing.. too busy.

Next mixnmatch is 24th.. I want to be there racing both cars.. then meet up at the Cineplex for the open nite of Fast n furious 6!

I know I suck

lol, my car is not track prepped at all...slow start this year...my goal now is to be ready for the shootout...big 16g swap is coming soon...13's here i come!

Whos gonna be there tomorrow? If everything is still running ok I should be making a few runs with my 2g.

I'm still waiting on parts.

Definite maybe.
Haven't been home much last little while so I might try to drag the family down for a bit.
Perhaps a nice dinner out - at the track.

You can get poutine there! If the snack bar is open.

True French fine cuisine.

Still no pound of ice cream for $1

True story.

I'm hoping to be up and running by June. Parts should be in by Tuesday, as well as my tires. If all goes well, I should be back to a rolling car by Tuesday night.

Ok.. so as of todays scedual... there is only 2 tst n tunes left this year.. and 2 mix n matchs. The tnts are july 5th.. and Augest 10the right before shoot out. Then there is a MnM during the shoot out.. and one on the 27th of september.

Common guys... get your cars running or your gonna miss out.

Mine's running, and running well but with 2 businesses on the go, she's a bit difficult to get out there....

I'm hoping to be at the next one. I've got all the kinks ironed out and plan on doing a bit of tuning in the next week or so, to get that boost up.

Are you going Jay?

Id like to play with my timing some his week but the 2g should be good. The 1g is having shuggish issues Im working on since I installed the new ecu and chip. I think I may be looking for a cheap afc to lean it out a bit at take off.

But I have to decide to eather go racing on the 5th and go camping on august 10th. Or go camping on the 5th so I can get some racing in just before shoot out.

Its looking looking like 5th for racing.

How's your AFRs and Boost on the 2G?

havent had a chance to do any more pills since I last talked to you. I am around 10.9 at 6000rpms tho. at 18psi. My 1g is showing 139 low fuel trim but my mid and high fuel trims are 100% with. o2 at around 87 at wot.

July 5 test and tune! 6-10 pm.

Aww crap... I was planning on being there for 5:30... guess I'll have to wait a half hour...

RACING TIME!!

2g is running awsome! 1g is bogging off from the launch. The burn chip is leaning out right off the get go. Wasnt doint it with the stock ecu in. Gonna swap the stocker back in tomorrow. Hopefully the 2g maf and bigger injectors will eliminate the boost cut. And sandra will beat her 17 from last year.

Anyone have any goals for tonight?

I'd like a repeat of last year. 11.4 or better would be nice. Tonight will be a good shakedown night to see what all this new lost weight will net me.

As soon as everyone has there car's ready to go mine breaks.
But the bro's evo should be finished this weekend.

Goal: To avoid the rain and make it to the track.
If I achieve that goal, then I'm with Ryan: to meet/exceed last years best (hopefully at a lower boost level).
Very interested to see what this new billet wheel and cams do for me.

I want to make it down the strip with out blowing up! And dont laugh... ive raced autos for many years.. and street racing aswell.. I can only imagine what ill do with a clutch and starting off a tree.

Then Ill sart setting goals. Sandra wants to beat her 17... mabe a 15.

I hope you guy's have a good night at the track! I can't go due to family dropping in

Sure didn't.

First run I didn't stall up the car, just put my foot in it. Pass was a 13.8 on low boost/no timing.

Cranked everything up, wanted to give'r the onion. Car was beautifully tuned at 31psi, but couldn't come up on the converter due to it being a million degrees outside.

My last run, they aborted me. I was starting to come up on it, and as I was inching to the full stage lights, they flipped the switch and ran the tree.

Shannonville has a bunch of underqualified, off-the-streets asshats running the show. They get all of 2 minutes of "training" and are shown which button to push. I wish there was something close by that was run less as a hobby track and more as a professional track.

But it's all we got. I guess a bad night at the track is better than a good day at the office.

Still drove it home.

Well i blew a clutch line in the staging lanes before I got to make my first run. poopy...Fixed it with a hose clamp and 6 zip ties... got to carfully drive it home but no racing for me.

Sandra ran a personal best of 16.7501! winning 2 out of 6 races! 14 counts of knock. it still needs some work. But shes loving it!

Hello all

Tonight was a pretty good turnout. Lots of cool cars and a good turn out for the DSMs.

I was really disappointed when they lit the Tree not allowing Ryan to stage. Boneheads. We would of have fun racing together.

As for myself I did pretty good. Ran 8 times and got a best of 12.1200 at 117.47 mph with a .6810 r/t and a 1.7699 60'. My last run was with Jamie Valcamp. I got him at the Tree and won by .0199 sec. My e/t for that run was 12.2289 at 118.10 mph, his was 11.9889 at 114.50 mph. He pulled hard in 3rd 4th; I was flipping of excitement. T'was quite the race.

I do not know when the next event is scheduled for but will do my best to attend.

Night night!!!

Ghislain

Not a bad night for the first one of the year for me.
Reached goal #1 but not #2.
Didn't break any records but did get to surprise a street bike on the way home. He was not expecting that!

Next time boys, next time.

Im with you on that one!

I guess i was the only one that had a good night

Took my first 5.0L mustang with the help of the new big 16g, then another, i also got an early 80's trans am/firebird, a genesis 2.0T and a couple honda kids.

two best runs were 14.3 @ 95 (running 9-10psi pig rich) better than my previous best with the 14b by .3 seconds on the same actuator. since then i've turned the boost up to 12psi and got my fuel maps straightened out... now that i can actually tune the ECU myself, i'm pretty confident she's a 13 second car...Giz, i don't forsee 12's in the near future so i'll need that sticker with a 13 on it...

Anyone know whats going on his saterday at shannonville? It says some calibration day with car testing or something? No hours.. no detail or anything.

You must not have had much coffee yet

I see a "Celebration" day, not a "Calibration" day.


...then again, I haven't had any coffee today, so I could be completely wrong.

LOL Im on holidays.. and acouple days ago I had 2 ice caps.. and 3 huge timiies coffees.. Have had a head ache ever since . so Ive been avoiding coffee.

Just had this pic from my brother sent to me.

This was my day at Shannonville on the 5th. Notice Sandra ready to race behind me.

OK... So shannonville has just announced a MiXnMatch this friday???

With new pavement??

Anyone going!

Not sure.
