I heard there was something going on the 19th....I'll try to look it up, but what kind of race is it?

Found it. EVO vs WRX/STI street wars.............and "High Tech street muffled import vs U.S. Muscle showdown.



I'll be there.

I'll get more bouncy balls for the ride down there. Unless I bring my car down too, then it's all out bouncy ball warfare on the Thruway.
 
Just popping in here to look at the pics and vids as i saw most of the Evo stuff on EvoM.

Jordan it sounds like your 2 step is still activating while you're foot is still on the clutch :banghead:

I'm guessing you're slipping it? If not maybe your foot was still slightly touching the pedal.

Similar thing has happend in my Evo when setting the variable for speed too high.....

Thanks all for the pics and vids :hellyeah:

You are correct in that I was slipping the clutch. Trying to get a good launch technique down since I have issues hooking (QTPs are still new). I never thought about lowering the MPH limit on the 2 step... After you mentioned it I just looked and it's set to 8mph... Good ear! Haha.

But just to add, I looked over the log real quick, it doesn't get stuck on my 2 step for more than a second... The rev limit you hear in the videos is it bouncing at 8k from the tires spinning...

Seems like a lot of people were having issues launching at the track. It took me 3 runs to figure out what RPM and tire pressure I needed. Even then, it still needed work.

I dont like how they went straight to qualifying without at least 1 or 2 time trial runs.
 
Anyone know any info on the silver 1ga talon?? Id want some more info on that car, from the looks of it it had a pretty soild setup. Defenity was on of my favorite cars there

So what did u think of my car? Not bad for being a budget build?LOL

Jordan did u get any videos of my 11.0? I have some videos,but they are all crappy.
 
Yeah john car was moving, 60"s were really good for a bs tires you had on there, couple of my boys are just finishing up there builds also so well be back to the track in a few weeks..
 
It wasnt a matter of a loss of traction. Sometimes, it was too much traction and the tires wouldnt spin, or it would catch so hard that it bogged. I have to launch my car at 7200 to get it to leave right.

It seems that this was the case for many. That guy in the red evo was bogging hard, I really wanted to see him get a clean run.
 
Taken with a walmart special sanyo camera so not the best quality.

Its such very simple and cleanly built car. I just wish it still had a holset. If I knew he was going to be there running it I would have brought the magazine with me it was featured in for him to sign it

He would of loved that, Nick's a good friend of mine. I have a lot of videos of the car on my youtube. 3 days after racing at e-town we went out and took videos ripping on the streets. Check em out.
 
I was Very surprised at the amount of 1gs that were there. I was there and raced in the dsm bracket class. I was in the white 1gb eclipse. It only has muffler, hacked intake can, and mbc turned up to 15psi and without a rediculous launch running average of 15.3 for the 1/4 mile. :thumb: I'd say for the first time to the track with a basically stock car It did pretty damn good AND I made it home too. LOL
