Weather looks like it will cooperate and nights are starting to get much cooler so it will be good for fast times.


Racecity has also now finally purchased a decent track prep machine so hoping it will be a bit stickier on the launch.


I will finally be running for the first time this season.

Chris let's line em up!

You have to pick on me with my fruity little n/a car?
If I have time I will, but it doesn't look good.
The weather will be great though, maybe if the d/a co-operates, good night for pb's.

c'mon you've only been out like 2-3 times this year and you know the da will cooperate.

I'm running 94 octane just to be on the safe side.

I need more boost:cry:

If I get the porsche done, I'm there for sure.
It's been months since my last race.
When I was in the 'hat, I got 13.9, and couldn't shift it at peak.
The car just needs a little more adjustment, and it should be good.
I'm going to be sweating bullets at the tree, been a while.

Mr_ET
08-23-2007, 11:35 AM
I will have less then half a tank but I don't want it too low as the acceleration makes the needle go really close to empty on a pull from 0-120 :P

I'm thinking mine will only do like a high 14 which is still much better then 16.3 from last year:P

To be honest I have not seen a difference between husky 94, and Esso 91. I have not tried V-Power yet.

I just went for the highest octane I could get in hopes that It will have better knock resistence at the track.

I've never actually held it at WOT past 3rd gear as I'm doing about 130 by then and I don't like tickets. It is also a cop magnet at wot because of the open dumptube :)

I like scaring people:rofl:

Revhard
08-23-2007, 02:31 PM
The mohawk 94 showed no power loss against VP MS109.
Couldn't add any more timing, anything.
I use it, and everytime I tune it's in the tank.
One day I might do a controlled test against the Shell 91,
I have it on good source that it will burn cleaner.

R-Audi
08-23-2007, 03:29 PM
I might come out... just gotta waste some of the 94 in my tank to grab some 104!

It will be first time at te track with this car.. could be interesting!

GoChris
08-23-2007, 08:34 PM

08-24-2007, 09:43 AM
Dont suppose there are many people out there looking for race gas for tonight?
Prices last I checked... $90 for 20L or $500 for 200L.. so it makes way more sense to get a big one... I just cant keep it.. Im in a condo.

Considering the weather, it could be bad.
I can't go at all, so I'll take a raincheck Etienne.
We have to line up, it will be fun.!

Good luck everyone, post results for us that can't come,please!:(

well the little single cam ran a best of 14.910 @ 93.26 mph not bad for 6 pounds of boost!

nice work, i just caught that 14 run right before i left, but it looks like you got the launch down a bit better on that run.

you gotta turn it up to 10-13 and break 13.9 now.

how many psi can your map handle?

Not a bad night.. always tricky being first time out in a car..

Best of my three runs was a 13.1 @ 111..

Others were 13.2 @110 and 13.3 @ 108.. And all of these were with a shitty launch. maybe in the 12'as if I can figure that out!

08-25-2007, 01:43 AM
so many cars!

Z_Fan
08-25-2007, 02:53 AM
I went to Edmonton. They had their largest turn out for the year. No offence to Calgary, but if that many cars were in Calgary, at the pace they run in Calgary, I think 3 runs tops.

Edmonton just fires them through. It's crazy! In fact, maybe too fast. Sometimes the cars aren't even off the track and you get a green light. :eek:

Got 9 passes.

11.254 @ 126.92
11.354 @ 127.10

Those were the best two. I also cut my personal bests for 60 footers. Two 1.5x times, best being 1.576. Too bad the rest of the pass wasn't so hot.

I had trouble driving the car (shifting) all night. Maybe sometime I'll learn how to drive the red beast.

Mr_ET
08-25-2007, 08:34 AM
you have to teach me how to launch lol

Best I could do was a 2.42x and I know the car can do better as I wasn't even spinning off the launch.

The launch control at 4k was also too low and bogging off the launch on each run :(

I think if I can keep it a bit cooler and launch better it has a mid 14 in her at the same boost level.

I am already tempted to go up to 10 pounds and run 13's at over 100mph but that would be the limit of my block and I want it dyno tuned if I get that close to it's max potential.

That's the way tracks are supposed to be run.. Go to any real track and it's car after car after car.. You have another car doing a burnout when the first set crosses the finish line..

Nice numbers.. But remember...

It's still a neon. :D

Edited: wait a minute.. that was with the Z? :P ooops

it was sweet last night, whos red eg was that? gpomp?? or someone else... MR ET.. i think i saw your eg run down the strip... the track was sweet was there were soooo many douchebags giving it a try... i got sick of the maximas, integras, and 240's that sucked out there..

when i left work, my buddy missed tech by 10 minutes, it was fun nonetheless

Mr_ET
08-26-2007, 08:23 AM
Mine was an EF and also red like that eg running 11's so people kept coming to see me and asking if I was the one running that fast.

I might need slicks too now :P

Z_Fan
08-26-2007, 10:47 AM
Who was running 11's? AND, do they know about the Alberta Top 10? We need some more 11 second cars on the list for sure!

11.3 at 130 last time I heard but I didn't see the person driving it or know if they are on Beyond.

maybe others can chime in.

12.445@ 81.xxx mph :rolleyes:

Then a11.99 @111.xxx[/email]

Need to put the ram air back in. The won't let you go more than 120mph if you dont have leather pants, so on the first pass I hammered on the brakes just before the finish line. Didn't think it would slow down that much, then on the second pass realized that I wasn't going to go anywhere near 120mph.

CSMRX7
08-27-2007, 02:17 PM
Ran a 13.5 @ 105

R compounds + launch is tough= 2.3 60ft.

This FD traps higher than my old FD which ran a 13.1 with 1.8 60ft.

With a good 60ft this car will run 12s, but I really need to shift to 4th since I am crosing the line @ over 8000 rpm.
