4:30 PM - Onwards

I wanna get used to the slick tires and I am excited to finally get to use my new Launch Control (MSD DIS-2 w/ 2 Step)

 

Yeah, hopefully it cools off considerably for next week. 106F isn't the best temperature to try and get in good runs. I do believe I am free :3_yes::3_yes:

 

I made it on the list!!! Car # 5236... 28th Place... :3_wink:

It'll be cool if iwb or another Hyundai makes the list next time

 

Next Race:

Friday, Sept 25, 2009
Racing starts at 5:30 PM

Meet at Colosus Langley @ 4 PM and cruise down to Mission from there

Its gonna be a nice day!!!

 

Hey I get off work just after 4, so i'll be over at the theatre at around 10 after. Hopefully we can get that swivel fitting on the icebox sealed up so I can run with it. I plan to break into the tripple digits and if i can use the icebox, see a 14 flat or possibly high 13's =)

 

balllin see you guys there... did anyoen else notice the dodge caravan that ran a 12.9?

 

Yep, he owns a shop. The thing is done out, and he is usually at the Friday Night Drags. There is also a SOHC Civic DX who ran under 11 seconds a few weeks ago. A 10 second SOHC was unheard of lol.

We've also got a few guys who run their GT-R's there and I raced a CLS55 AMG when we were there last =) Lots of nice and exoitic rides to race against.

 

That was a good night... very busy though, tons of nice and fast cars!!!

JGresh, too bad we missed you...

Congrats to cj getting into the 15's with the bolt ons...

iwb, glad that the icebox leak has been fixed...

Dropzero and a couple of more guys couldn't run since they came a little late, maybe next time

I hope that my previous setup will work good in your car



My best was a 13.2 @ 106 MPH that night, I just wanna get back to the 12's again... maybe next year


Anyways, I only found this pic on the track website... I'm going to see if i can find more of you guys

 

First time out with the new icebox installed. My best time was 14.410, however I was only running on 91 octane. First run was a 14.750 and my last 4 were all 14.4's lol I should start doing bracket.

Final 2009 Street Legal Drag:

Friday, October 9th 2009 @ Mission Raceway Park (See OP for more location info)
Racing begins at 5:30

Again if anyone is interested and wanted to meet up prior, I leave the Langley area (Colosus Theatre) just after 4pm. Weather should be great especially with the air getting really cold after 8, there should be great runs to be had. This is the last drag night until next April, so come on out! Even if you don't want to race, it's only 5 bucks to get into the gate/pits.

 

What time do we need to be there? I work on Fridays, and the earliest I can get off work is like 4 -4:30pm..

 

hehe im in

 

If you`re racing, they usually close tech inspection just after 7pm or at Dusk. If you`re just coming to hang out, anytime is good. Racing normally goes until around 10pm. That is usually when they shut it down from moisture showing up on the track.

 

But if I get there at like 5:30pm, will I be lined up with random guys? Does it matter? Do you guys usually race against each other? Do you need a group?

As you can see I've never been to one of these before lol :3_puh2:

 

Tempting...

 

i MAY come....but prolly not at 4, we will see....i might be buying myself a winter beater...

 

ill def be going down the strip man Lol i gotta that way i know what my time is and then BAM Turbo lol

 

Thomas: Hey if it's your first time at the track, you want to let the people at the entrance booth know you want to race. They will give you a Tech card that you will need to fill out (BRING A PEN WITH YOU!!!). Once you have paid, drive over to the Tech inspection area (Far side of the pits). Your car will be checked out (and pass no prob) and they will sign your tech card. Take that tech card then to the timeslip shack, and there you must sign the waiver and they will give you your wrist band. After that it's fun sailing =)

 

Thomas, u also need cash($30)
Gary, i almost guarentee you went get better than 17.000 seconds, thats what i pulled.

 

Too bad you couldn't make it glassball, but it wasn't a great night for track conditions. A Plymoth Daytona blew synthetic oil all down the track just after 5:30 when things were getting under way. I got there at 5:15 and didn't get my first run in until almost 7:30! Only 3 runs, 2 of which i couldn't hook up.

Now the good news. New personal best =) 14.291 @ 98.91 =)

After we turbocharge DropZero i'll have some good GK competition to go up against next year! Good seeing all you guys who came out! Cheers!

 

i cant wait till she sees boost i thought the 08 was the GS not the GK ???? i could be wrong!?lol
me and my gay *** 17.405 @ 80MPH not to shabby for 3200 pound car eh! lol

 

GK is just a generation term. First gen are RD's, second gen are GK

RD = 1996 - 2001
GK = 2002 (2003 Models) - 2008

 

ah makes sence
