Hi All,

I am new here but wanted to see if there is anyt interest in meeting on Oct 11 at Sac raceway. I am hoping to improve on my best of 11.4@122 with my new whipple. Hope to see some of you there, maybe we can setup a race.

You should wait until the following Sat. night Oct. 18th. My cousin and I will be out there on the 18th. Thats the last Grudge night of the year at Sac Raceway. You will find more races for your street car at Grudge night than showing up on a Test and Tune. Plus Grudge is $35 to run your car and TNT is $50 [patriot]

+1 for grudge, matt i'll be there cheering you and zach on again, waiting to see that 9 sec pass, hopefully i'll have some tires buy then and i'll be there driving instead of watching

Since I ran the 11.4 i have added the whipple. I am making more power and ALOT more torque.

I am gonna go figure things out on the 11th and I will also make the 18th for both test n tune and grudge fest.

Just thought I'd invite anyone interested in racing to come on out.

11.4 was with a small shot of n2o, 11.8@116 just blower. The 11.4 was on a 104 degree day at Sac, with the new power from the whipple I am really hopiing for a 10.XX@128ish

Welcome to the board Tyler! Are you planning on running with that insanely small 2.60 pulley? [Big Grin] Should be a good time.

I'm thinking I may bring out my car for for the last grudge. It seems like there are going to be so many cars out there breaking the rules for going too fast I might get over looked. [Wink] [burnout]

Hi Drew,

Yes i fully plan on running that little pulley. I am breaking the rules as well. No cage no drive shaft loop. oh well. Hope to see you out there. I will be sending an email to you later about the suspension and Mach rear.

Do they usually kick you out after one pass?

If I get my axles by the 18th I would love to run it all out with the smaller pulley and ET Streets, but Sac is a long way to go for 1 pass, not to mention the gas cost and gate fee. I would be pissed if it was 11.001 and I get kicked out. It might be worth it if it was a 10.99!

Its funny that .002 of a second can make you sad or happy. lol!

Yep, .001 can make a HUGE difference if it was a 11.000 vs a 10.999. I think a 10.80 would definitely be worth it. However, if I break it in Sac the wife will KILL ME!

I need to just put a cage in the thing so I can do it at Sears Point. Give another 2 years and I will get the cage.

cUROFF FOR CAGE IS 11.49 RITE? They will probably tell You to leave with a 11.49 or quicker [Embarrassed] .

They usually kick you out depending on the way you look ...

The person at the booth will tell you about it and warn you then to go ask TECH

If you want to go we can meet anywhere along the way. Coming from Hayward do you take 880-80 or go over 580-680-80?

I normally go 580-680-80 just because the new bridge is way easier and on a sat traffic should be minimal [Wink]

I'd like to join you guys but i think me and my car are too fresh in the memory of the tech guys [Frown]
