You can go through tech (get there early tho), then go get a helmet at the tower ($5 plus your license)

I should be there to race the 1/4 and solo 2! I'll race you for the title of fastest POS...:rofl: That's around what my time will be too. Are you gonna do any solo 2 runs?

freakin

05-07-2004, 11:16 AM

I think I'll bring my car down to get some numbers before my new motor goes in. This will be my first time taking it down the track, so it should be interesting.

Does anyone have any idea how crowded it usually gets this time of year? I want to make sure I get a few runs if I'm going to get spending the money to race.

05-07-2004, 12:48 PM

I like to get there at about 7:30-8:00. I don't like waiting in line for tech, and I also need to rent a helmet.

05-08-2004, 12:47 AM

Dayuummm I had fun !! I ran a bunch on the Solo 2 course and started with a 65.xx and ran a best of 55.13 .
Then I just had time to sneak in 3 runs on the 1/4 . I still had the shocks set up at full firm and tires at 40 psi. and over 1/2 tank of gas .Not ideal .
1st run the printer jammed - no time .

2nd run .Let off the clutch,rolled through the lights ,red lighted:
60' 5.1 ! and and killer 19.8 /81 mph :rofl:

3rd run a bit better : a okay launch,a mind-bending 60' 2.8 ,
and a 17.44 / 82 mph :eek:

I think with the car set up better (tires,shocks,less gas,lose the spare ) and a better launch , there's a 16.9 there somewhere.

Next week I'll "Focus" on the 1/4 ....
:burnout:

So who all was down there and what were you driving??? I was spectating and I know I saw Barmanjay's car but not sure of anything else. Some pretty sweet stuff down there.......that red truck with a blower.......GSX1300R street bike with nitrous. Nuts!!! Definitly gonna have to go back next week

Fluidic

05-08-2004, 12:51 AM

Well... interesting night.

Thanks to all who helped me try and get more power to the ground.

My best time was something like 14.7 at 98.6mph. I just sit there spinning through 1st. Oh well, at least I ran a better time then Al did driving my car! ;) :bigpimp:

Time for one of these bad boys. :)

Obviously, look at your trap speed. You're car blows off the line, but once you're moving it hauls! Cant wait for LSD and a nice launch. :drool:

What was your entire slip with 60' and 1/8th mile? Will give a better indication.

Wow so tonite was the first time Ive ever been to secret street, it was wicked!! I never thought it would have been as big as it was, and I did not show up until 10:30 or so. I saw Fludic run a couple times, thats the only car I know by pictures, so now I can at least match one car with a name. I am excited for July to come, I wont be racing the Golf there, but once I get the Bimmer, man thats gonna be fun!! Ill see everyone out there next week too!!

05-08-2004, 01:07 AM

Was a disappointing day for me, even for a first time. :( I discovered that my boost isn't what it normally is - It was basically like driving a stock prelude tonight...

Special thanks to the guys for giving me pointers. It was cool meeting a lot of guys and getting pointers from Buh buh, Rage2, Cocoabroba, Illeagle, Finboy... the list goes on... You guys rule.

fast95pony

05-08-2004, 01:07 AM

Peter...

Did you try a softer launch ?? I didn't see any of your runs. Were you bringing up the revs high on the launch ?? Perhaps try lower revs and giving the tires a chance to hook. :dunno:

rc2002

05-08-2004, 01:11 AM

I got about 10 runs in though so I was pretty happy about that, I was happy right up until I got spanked by an SRT4. Man those things are quick!

05-08-2004, 01:14 AM

that mazdaspeed out there was running crazy times too......would have liked to see that go up against the srt-4

rc2002

05-08-2004, 01:18 AM

He did go up against the SRT4 in the final run. It was pretty close... The MSP ran a 14.4 when I ran against it in the first run!

My turbo starts to spool around 4500rpm. I need to launch around that RPM to get a "good" launch. Al tried a few different methods -- including removing my shifter and boot for weight reduction... :dunno: :rofl:

One race I even put my funky neons on (well i flicked the switch, don't know if they worked),... my ex brought my daughter to see me race so I turned them on for her,... but wouldn't you know,... they had left after 3 races I did, and I think I switched them on the 4th,...lol.
And the time slip lady kept jokin with me all night about my small helmet and small head, lol.
"Not often do you hear a guy talking about how small their head is" - I swam in the Med.

YEAH,... that red truck HAULS ASS!!!! glad I wasn't put up with him,... I'd look ridiculous,...LOL, even tho that black sleeper civic got me good,... must've run some juice on 3rd,... he just broke loose then. I did expect the white talon to kick my ass,... and he did,...lol.
:whipped: ouch :whipped: ouch :whipped: ouch,...my ass!!!!

Hey Richard
Was that you in the white prelude?..that's not just an NA car is it!?!
The MSP ran against me last of night, running 14.64 @ 95.39 to my 14.4 at 100.01...quick little car...I ran 5 PSI over stock boost, but kept blowing away tires through to third, even with soft throttle?!!!?!?!!??!!...:banghead: ...of course not being able to run my slicks as expected was disappointing, and still have winter Yokos on stock rims...Oh well!! :dunno:
No...i haven't slept since last spoke to you...will be about house tomorrow for rims...call.

whos 240 ran at the autocross? mad drift!!!:eek: and some are nice! also got a video that i need to unload.

also along with a few pics here and there, thought i saw moonracer there running too, not sure tho...

anyway, thats about all the people i saw from beyond. where are u guys usually?

05-08-2004, 02:04 AM

I am very disappointed I didn't get to go tonight! Dammit!

Went to the ROUGHNECKS game, which they won 13 - 11. So I guess that's OK, but DAMN, I wanted to go to Secret Street.

Fluidic: I've run times 0.2 - 0.3 quicker with a slower trap speed. So I think you need to relax that gas pedal off the line, and just get some grip...cuz obviously your car is quick after it gets moving. Wish I could have been there to see you running...

I'll be there next week...

It was a pretty great night I think. I thought it was kinda funny when I think it was the shadow raced against the Chevy Astro and lost. But yea I have a few vids of Fluidic's runs and I think I have one from jersturbo's run against a mustang. I'll upload them when I have the chance.

The last thing I remeber racing you, is...

"HOLY FUCK! He's pulling away in 3rd!!!"

Then I couldn't stop laughing because I got spanked baaaaad! totally didn't expect it, I thought It was gonna be a real close race till you dropped into 3rd, LOL.

That poor guy in the shadow,... he was still working on his car when everyone was leaving,... I asked if he needed help,... He said his timing buggerred up, then his fuel pump quit,... poor guy is probably still out there.

He got it fired up just after being pushed out of compund, and drove home (all the way i hope)...

That was the best time I ran pretty much.

The first time I broke 16. I took a quick glance when I got the slip and saw 15.9. But I was still driving back to the lanes. So I didn't get a good look. Driving back I was like 'That looked like a 15.9. . . . Or a 16.9. . . . 15.9!?!?!'

When I finally stopped, I was like WOOHOO!

barmanjay

05-08-2004, 02:41 AM

Awesome Run!!!!, personally I can only dream of hitting 16.5, until I do some serious mods.

I also think the problem is the trim size of my turbo.

It's an awfully large turbo for my motor. 1.8L 20V. Ken (from concept-1) and I are going to experiment with a gt28rs.

I agree however that I do need to work on my traction issue. LSD and slicks perhaps?? Two much grip for my transmisson?

See you next Friday.

well lets see, i agreed to pull the drivetrain and even came and helped you clean out YOUR garage MULTIPLE times, then i get a call without any notice that the drivetrain is getting pulled out and i offer to come over ASAP to get it. chris was helping you and said don't bother its almost out.

then you ignore all messages, pm's, and requests from mutal friends to give back my personal property.

you tell me to come grab my drivetrain and STILL won't return calls or messages.

really, who is being immature here?

its been over a year and i still don't have my drivetrain, i've tried being polite, i've tried being helpful, neither of those worked so now its time to bring it to public attention how you deal with your business :rolleyes:

Absolutely...delete the stupidity posts...including this one!

I am not your dad...therefore I should NOT have to explain the point to you.

There have been & are TONS of evenings & weekends, when i am not away working, where the garage could & can be opened to you...
..."YOU" remove with your tools, your hoist, your work, your time!!...NOT mine!

Get it?!

The drive train (Chris and I did ALL the real work already for you..."YOUR WELCOME"...was (and is) already completely un-done & ready to hoist out ("YOUR WELCOME AGAIN :rolleyes: )...not my hoist...not my elbow grease, not my time!

Get it?!

We stopped after doing that work & asked "why are we doing this for him, and he's not even here helping?"..and said "screw this".

Get it?!

If you changed your tune...i.e. realizing your work is the requirement...than you'd have finished the job a LONG time ago...it's still waiting...still in my way...BUT...I won't be the one doing the work for you!
...meaning...you NOT expecting that I (we) should do it for you!!

That's why I've gotten to the point of ignoring your repeated "expecting" messages...because they all say the same thing..."where's my drivetrain"...its right there!...still waiting ...and still in my road.

It's the expectation & approach you have consistantly been using...expecting I (we) should be doing your work for you!

DO YOU GET IT?!

Adam...public forums are especially not the place for this non-sense.

hehe yeah I was there, I ran autocross at the start of the night and finished up on the 1/4 in the last half of the night. Did well at the auto X with a mid 55 sec run and sucked at the quarter with various problems :( Managed a 17.05 by the last run but my best from last year was a 16.8 so maybe next time I'll beat that crap time...lol But the night was pretty fun overall. :thumbsup:

had i been given a chance to come and get it with my own tools and hoist i would have, bet still no chance because you don't return messages.

i'd take this to pm's but i think we both know how that would turn out, they'd all be deleted and i'd still be stuck without my drivetrain. :rolleyes:

I wanted to get a vid of you but whenever you came on my camera was off and by the time it turns on your already halfway done. Maybe next time when I go again.

Not a great pic, but this S14 put on a great show with its drifting technique. Spun out a few times, but oh well.

he came through on teh first round and spun out hard a couple times but he had a wicked run the 2nd time .. crazy drifting turns ... loved it!!

i was watching him in the auto X track to, he was putting it right sideways around those corners, but it didn't sound like it was turbo, who knows :dunno:

the miata put on a pretty good show too.

That was alot of fun again, even with my bruised butt,..lol.

Can't wait till next week,... gonna try out a theoretical Cold Air Intake System (as long as I can fabricate it and get it installed tomorrow - it'll be an all dayer).

Yeah, next week both my daughters (3 and 6) will be there to watch, so don't laugh when I throw on my underbody neons, for my little ones to watch, helps them to recognize the car, by the lights.

What size turbo is in you're Mazda? Have you maximized every performance potential (max efficiency range) from that stock turbo?

It's just a T25......There's a few more things I can try before I upgrade turbo, but it's pretty close to being maxxed out right now:nut:
