im going. kannon got V3lite in the mail today so im going to set everything up for him and get his car running right.

im down to hang out or atleast stop by to see the frankinstine colt ive herd of. let us know if anything is happening an ill try to head out.
its not my place and kannon usually doesn't have new DSM'rs over so i can't invite anyone. maybe he'll drive it to one of the meets once it becomes reliable and runs right.

ok cool, if anyone else wants to go give some ideas. Is 7 to early/late? any ideas?

Im not going to go if no one response so if you wanna go please let me know.
 
kannons colt is idling better... still needs intercooler pipng to be drivable though. got home and the girl doesn't want to go, she wants me to go hangout with her friends. sorry I'm gonna have to sit out on all the good times at bennigans. still heading up to Cali speedway though Sunday for sure!

:dsm:
 
yeah we was there i was the big guy you saw with kantide. we parked around back. It was koo but would have been alot better with more heads you know. Hopefully more of you guys come out next time. I dont think theres another racelegal until mar. 19, atleast thats what it states when you call the race legal number. So we really need to organize a meet/cruise. Whats a good day for you guys?
 
kris and i made the drive to fontana tonight, left at 8:30... setup shop at the hilton near the track and we're headed to bed. if your racing we're meeting at the carls jr. here... 14454 Valley Boulevard, Fontana, CA 92335-5212 - Google Maps at 5:00a.m. and leaving for the track a few blocks away at 5:15a.m. SHARP, not waiting for anyone so if your racing and want to get inline with a few DSM's then be there.

as for you that are planning on driving up to watch the racing starts at 9:00a.m. so drive safe and see you in the grand stands. call when you get up here and you can park with everyone in the pits... don't forget to bring snacks, water, cash, & a jacket JIC.

im off to bed, hopefully see you in the a.m. :boring:

i was getting a million texts yesterday about the times kris and i were running so i thought id just knock it out in a post here instead of writing a million texts back. nobody was able to make if up from san diego except kris and i but we had a good time, just a few hiccups at the beginning.
my passenger side door trim decided it didn't want to be a part of my car anymore and it detached itself somewhere between san diego and fontana. then right before we exited off the 15 there was massive crater in the road that once i saw it, it was too late to avoid and i bent the crap out of my front driverside wheel and it was wobbling going any speed.
the next morning after the stay at the hilton there wasn't a cloud in the sky and we were pumped to race. we got to the track around 6a.m. and started teching. the tech lady realized :tease: kris was wearing shorts AND his helmet wasn't compliant with their rule book. he took a trip to target to get a pair of jeans and then he teched with my helmet and passed. we started putting kris's monster 245/50/16 nitto drag radials mounted on rx7 rims then he realized he needed 4 spacers instead of the two he brought, now he's definitely going to have traction problems. we pulled my bent rim off and kris took a rubber malet to it and bent that shit back, it still wobbled over 55mph though... after all that it was time to race.
my first run looked like this... 60ft - 2.4 1/8th - 9.6 1/4 - 14.4 @ 96mph. my 60ft decided that run and it SUCKED. kris's first run was his best of the day... 60ft - 1.7 1/8th - ??? 1/4 - 12.49 @ 114 and was the fastest DSM there and he was spinning tires through 1st/2nd.
my next run kris setup my antilag to get my turbo spooled coming off the line so i could get the tires moving out of the hole... my next run looked like this 60ft - 2.1 1/8th - 9.4 1/4 - 14.0 @ 101mph i was still pissed and know my car can pull a whole second faster 1/8th so whats the deal! kriss second run he dropped his launch control a few RPM hoping to eliminate some tire spin and it didn't work out like he'd hoped. he bogged the lauch then the car wouldn't go into 2nd gear so i won't even put up his time.
my 3rd run was my best but still not anything close to what i know it could've been since my 60ft & 1/8th mile times were still significantly slower than what ive seen at racelegal. 60ft - 2.1 1/8th - 9.1 1/4 - 13.8 @ 102mph. yes my car broke into the 13's but i KNOW i could have seen a lot faster 1/4 mile time if i could have gotten out of the hole and trapped atleast a 1.9 60ft. at racelegal my fastest 1/8th was a 8.59 @ 81mph with a 1.86 60ft. yesterday my fastest 1/8th (i know we were racing 1/4!) was a 9.1 @ 86mph with a 2.1 60ft so thats why i know my car could have pulled a lot off the back on the 1/4 mile if i could have run my usual 1/8th mile times. kriss 3rd run he netted a 12.5 @ 115 with no second gear and wrapping the engine out to 7.5k... he just wanted to go fast. i think kris could have seen a high 11 or a really low 12 if we could have gotten those drag radials on there and he had a solid transmission to work with.
on the way back to SD we grabbed some food at the rainforest cafe and made it back into san diego around 930 with a LONG 30 minute delay trying to find a gas station with a public bathroom. my tire wobbles bad and my cars down until i can find another evo IX rim but other than that it feels like its pulling hard. kris needs a new tranny because 2nd gear was completely gone on the drive back home.

i talked to sam for a bit (the dsm dyno tuner up at road race) and he said that here in the next couple months RRE will be hosting a DSM dyno day with minor tuning going on too. i know atleast 20 or so ladsm cars will be there and i don't see why we can't get atleast 4 or 5 sddsm's up there too.

heres a few pictures of kris and i coming out of the hole...
