Cool

I'm going to get a bunch of people from the Spokane area to race this event this summer.

I should have my new Fp 3065 and Inter-cooler on and tuned by then.

Thanks for the info!!!

 

[Plaser]

ya dude! every year theres more and more cars.. ill be there with the laser if i ever get a new clutch..

I would love to see a big DSM following there. Its a good time and like Plaser said every year there is more and more cars.

Is the event just drag racing or will there be auto-x as well?
If there will be auto-x I might be able to get a bunch of guys from the Tri-Cities auto-x club to show up.

I will have my 90 Talon running by then so maybe I'll show up but it would just be to watch and support other DSM cars, I'm not into drag racing.
Actually now that I think about it I might bring my primary auto-x car and run a couple times on the strip. It's a 73 Datsun 240Z with a chevy LT1 engine and 5-speed transmission. I dynoed it last year in Yakima and put down 275hp at the rear wheels. I've never run it on the strip so it might be kinda fun.

Its only drag racing. But regardless, its a fun time and everyone is welcome.

 

[Plaser]

no hotels in royal, and your not gonna camp anywhere unless you know someone.. most people come up for the day since the car show and racewars is all on one day, usually saturday...if you wanted to come up friday and spend the night or spend the night saturday and go home sunday, you could camp at mardon resort or the state park.. thats like 2 miles from my house ...

I noticed this guy is now trying to sell this car for 8k with 105k miles. I wonder if he got it fixed or if he is just trying to dump his problems on someone else? Mileage is a little high for a potential crankwalker. At least I offered to help him with his problems. Oh well.

to much for a gst

 

[djordan97]

the one time I went to race wars was like 2 years ago and it sucked big time for me cause I was just a spectator. I have a bunch of friends that love it cause they race in it but as a spectator it sucked.

 

[Plaser]

this will be my first year racing at racewars if my car holds up till then.. i just hope some ricers underestimate me..

 

[fst91dsm]

Ya, me too. .

 

[hirev]

ill try macking it in the evo to race

Well what most people dont know is that Tranceworx fired most of the people and got a new crew, 2 of which are DSMers. We cant claim to know everything about them but we have a good network if we dont know. I agree the suburban is crappy, the turbos dont even have wastegates. I dont know what we had last year at the auto boat speed show but did anyone come this year? From what i hear the display was a bit better. Oh and theres nobody from WYO tech here, so i dont know where that one came from. We are trying to set up a meet in the parking lot if anyone would be interested. We are trying to get this place a good rep because the previous employees brought it down. If interested in a meet look in the regional area, i have a post there.
