let me know.. I dont wanna be the only dsm there...

i won't be racing this year. New clutch will be necessary for the car's travels and unfortunately, that whole setup isn't quite within the short term budget.

Last testntune at Shannonville this saterday... I will hopefully make it down the strip!

Last? Maybe for this month. The last test and tune is always thanksgiving weekend.

I'll hopefully be there.

Soory.. last tnt before shoo out.

There is 2 mix n matches and one more tnt for the year.

So noones going out for this one either?

May come out for this. Probably not, but we'll see.

I'm out, my night is just WAY to busy to even think about Shannonville.

Besides, I'm saving all my car's glory for next Friday night.

Ryan I might need a ride home from Belleville tonight, lol

I would have liked to test and tune, but right now i'm grampy driving to reset my monitors so I can pass an e-test.

Anyone go out tonight?

I wanted too...and was deciding whether or not to go... and then I blew a IC coupler. So That pretty much ended my tuning for the night.

what size, i have a bunch of 2.5" straights

Just got back from sville, got personal best in my green car.
12.6/110mph on stock exhaust. Bst cntr maxed out but only 22psi.

me and Ryan

My night sucked. The only good launch I got was the one with Paul, and my 2 step was too high and it pulled through the brakes. It all went to sh!t from there. On a no-launch pass I did a 12.4. My final pass something went wrong with the nitrous and as it was coming up on the converter, it was like the nitrous shut off.

I didn't get a clean pass all night.

Here is Wade picking on a poor Mustang

sh!t part is, when you red-light the clock starts counting, and I held it though all 3 yellows, I tripped the red by the first yellow. By my log from the time my wheels started turning till I got out of it was an 11.08 second run.

We'll try it again some other time.

2 more dates at Shannonville... I want to be in 12s by the end of the season..

you'll get it jay...just got a few things to iron out

Shannonville just announced a mixnmatch this friday. Anyone going?

no can do, on nights, too late to take leave...

I should be there around 7pm. Just in time for some nice cool fall air.

I might be able to make it, turns out I have tomorrow off...i'll post tomorrow if i'm going...

Well that was eventfull!

Got 1 run.. spun the tires and rev limited the way down the track to get a 13.9.
Was working on my tune... when sandra txted me from the stands with Theres a car on fire!

We look over and a Porche is burning to the ground! Just bought. 2 days ago too!

And that ended the evening.

At least we were there! Yeah that was crazy about the Cayman.
I only got 2 runs in best a 12.6; having troubles with the manual
boost controller so I bought Matt's profec S-low and high settings on the go here I come!

Pics ?

I think Paul got some footage.
It was quite the bonfire. A solid 20 min of 20 foot flames with a few explosions and lots of black smoke.
Early end to the night but feel bad for the guy. Preventable or not, quite a tragedy for a nice car.

My night didn't go all that well. With only one run, I did get to learn that my clutch is slipping pretty bad. One good launch got me a 1.68 60 ft but then had to feather it out the rest of the run to avoid completely glazing the clutch. Ended with a 12.4 @ just 91 mph. Looks like the tranny is coming out in the next few days to be rectified. Got a few more events to see what she's capable of.

I got my 12.6/7@110 with slipping clutch. i will post up the pics/video of the fire

holy sh!t! what happened?

I wonder what the insurance company will say if it burned up at a race track...yikes

Word is he parked on the grass after sliding off. Hot exhaust and/or brakes ignited the dry grass.

I suspect insurance would be tempted to laugh. Unless he had racers insurance.

Edit: Realized what happened.

Delete this, please.

I think I may require a stickier track for 12s..

Looks like it used to be a Cayman.

But I doubt dry grass started that fire. Any other idea's or "rumours" about how it started?

Ya... he spun out... and hit some tires. Then he got out of the car to see if he scratched it. Noticed the grass on fire under the car.. and ran away. The grass was dry and long.

Oh sh!t, I thought buddy had just parked it there. WHY ON EARTH RUN AWAY??? frack THAT! I'd jump RIGHT back in and GO!

I wonder if he thought to tow it the road, then make a claim..

......you want to tow that?


...how?

And I wish you luck convincing an insurance company that the car burned down anywhere else. In case you've never seen one before, car fires tend to make an "impression" on the surrounding area

Oh ya... black smoke for miles!



I believe the kids was a little new to racing.

Anyway, heres a vid me and Jamie.
