I'll be there.
I might need a ride, but I'm going.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

if u can get to blaine, i can give u a ride

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Nice!

I am still out on putting the motor in. It should be going tommorrow. Then its a mad dash of wiring up stuff, making ic piping, making exhaust, the only advantage is I don't have to schedule dyno time, I just go do it :).

Good luck Jet, hopefully we'll see you out there sunday!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Good luck Swanny, I know I always run into things I hadn't planned on when trying to get things done. Don't rush anything too much just to get it running, that always comes back to bite you in the end. Sounds like a lot of work yet, good luck!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Since it's the first time out, why aren't you guys going to Saturday test day instead? I generally goto test days & fun days myself because I hate Import days. I guess I just can't stand shit that takes 15-16+ seconds to go down the track, not to mention other junk. I'll guess at some point this year, i'll have to goto import day just to be able to meet people off this board, in person.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Test day is twice as much money.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

And I could use an extra day to get everything buttoned up!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Word!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Yeah i know it's more money but personally for me it's worth it, especially the season opener after many of us have made changes over the winter. Race days are iffy unless you know dam well you're gonna go serveral rounds. I've been to race days in the past and you only got 2 time trials because people oiled the track down and instead of stopping like they're supposed to, they dragged oil all the way down to the return lane. So if that happens, and you go out in the first round, that's only 3 runs.

I'll have to say this much though. After spectating on import days, if you're any kind of a driver, you should be able to go some rounds though. Many of those Honduh dopes can't drive/shift worth a shit. Dial a 14.10 and run a 14.90 or something like that. That's the guys I want to run against. "Gimme the W" :D

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

14s? Your giving them way way too much credit. Your talking about four lines deep running 17s and 18s.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I have a feeling you won't get your money's worth on Sport Compact day (as far as number of runs goes). It seems like there are a lot of people planning on going. Paying extra may be the smart bet.

Personally I wish they'd have a cut off (like 14.0 and faster day). That would cut the number of cars down and make spectating much more interesting. :D

Obviously if you're the owner of the track that may not be such a good idea, but a guy can dream can't he? ;)

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Well, the car is going on the dyno tomorrow, so I should be there as long as nothing blows up!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Ahhh.... looks like someones been there a fews times. Without exaggerating, yes that's usually how it is. You almost can change out a DSM motor in between runs if you had to :D

I hope you guys post back sometime late Saturday on a Go or No Go. If enough people go, I'll have to drag myself out of bed and go. Jet- would like to see your car go down the track.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I'm going. To early in the season to run the car, i'd like to make a couple changes and get it tuned again before i run it down the strip.

Is anyone meeting at the Fridays lot in Woodbury?

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Im going up with some guys from my dads work. Never met him but its a cavalier(I guess its n/a and runs a low 14... ;)) and a new gto and a srt-4 and soem other stuff. Who knows hopefully the guys arent chodes and itll be fun.

I wont be running my car cause I couldnt get it into lse to get tuned or fix that oil line leak or new wires or boost controller.. So next time count on seeing my failed attempt launches and and struts pop through my hood

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Damn man. Last time I went and got there at 9 am. I got in about 12 runs before time trials started, I had to leave because my boost leak was too big! Oh and this was on a sport compact day.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Anybody that's going on Sunday have a valve spring compressor? I'm referring to the type that allows you to change the springs with the head on the car. I'd give ya something for using it and then send it back via UPS within 3 days.

thanks.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I will be there, my VR-4 might not be but well just have to see what happens

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Well, lets see how 511 AWHP does at the track!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Nice! That should be good for what, 13.5 or so? :D
