Ouch. I'm farther north so i would have thought the wewther would be better for you guys south of the lakes

I was in cleveland in Feb for business. Holy shit, the snow off the lake is insane.

Melting like crazy in southern ontario... And still sub 30's Lol bummer for you guys

I'm in southern Virginia and it snowed 4+ inches yesterday..

Traction isn't plentiful for a 700hp car when track temps are below freezing.

We might get some passes in by July if this bullshit weather keeps up.

So far sunday looks descent, 60° at the track, but 30% chance of rain. So hopefully the rain holds off, and I can get some passes in!

Weather is still cold over here too, Dave. I threw 93 oct in the car because its easier to start than E85 in this weather. Havent even dialed in WOT. Probably wont until it gets nicer and I put E85 back in the car. ha!

Track temps will still be pretty damn cold this weekend though Im sure.

Rain didn't hold off and now its snowing. I was looking forward to this event.

Bummer yeah it doesnt look to fun for you guys

Snowed 3" at Dave's house last night.

We didn't get the snow here, but it rained like hell for a solid 5 hours. No chance of racing even if it stopped raining a day early with that much water on the ground.

I had a nice sunny drive in the 2g

Its rained like 10 times this winter max where i live in cali. went below freezing maybe a couple weeks total.
Cant wait to see this run some mid 8's on a well prepped track and more boost.

It was very low 70's here today....blue sunny skies, no rain.

When is it not 70 in florida

When it's 100+ in aug.

Dave,

Are you racing at the IFO event at Maple Grove on April 6th?

Dave if you are interested I know of a track rental April 12th At mason dixon. Its 4 hour rental prepay of 50 and like 75 or so at the gate. I talked to my buddy and he said its all good. As of right know i think there is around 30 cars racing. Every year they talk about making 20+ passes without hot lapping. The date may change as not very many people had pre-payed but if you want more info pm me and we can talk more.

I didnt see that ifo on the schedule!, probably not though.
I have trouble running at mason dixon, they are a nhra track, and I only have my ihra license. They barely let me run in November for the ecm meet. If they would remember me, I doubt they'll let me run.
Going to try for opening day at prp this Saturday!

They actually cancelled the event. Originally MG was going to move their spring flea market date, but decided not to. Bummer!

Want to wish you luck getting that beast into the 8s this year. Weve chatted and once its dialed in you got it nailed.

Oh I'm confident it'll run an 8 as-is with the 60mm turbo on if he can cut a good 60ft...once the new turbo's on the car, it should run an 8 every pass.

Once he gets bored going 8's, we'll throw some different turbos on just to see what they're capable of. I've had a factory billet 7-blade HX35 sitting on the shelf almost 2 years now just waiting to go 9's...

You gotta spill the beans about the next turbo, something tells me it's not a holset. Prove me wrong, i wanna see dave max out an hx52 a 71mm one

It's not a HX52, but it is still a Holset in a T3 flange.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Is said t3 flange a machined garret .82 or .85?

I think you stole my idea of a 67/88 garrett compressor on the hx40 turbine. The hx40 turbine is actually pretty big Shit i might so tempting. Just a little bore and compressor machining and good to go. Assming it has the meat.

Nope. Not using a compressor from a different turbo brand/platform.
