Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I may go but who knows, that's at the end of the week that I will be getting back from SCCA Solo Nats in Lincoln on top of 3 other out of town trips within 2 weeks time.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Id be done for the 11th, whatever the date, I need my events coordinator approval.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

This thread is about bench racer's league, actually get off the bench and get some numbers down. Let's talk about us actually going racing though instead of what we might do once we get there, you can run 17's for all I care!

September 11th, Testing day at rock falls, mark your calendars!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I'll go if I can get it off, I'm shooting for 13s!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Get those injectors son! Be runnin' 12's. :)

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

All you need to know what to do at the drag strip is: Don't try to stage with the back tires or people will laugh at your and reaction time doesn't matter at all unless you are in a heads up race. The guy next to you probably isn't trying to race you also, so don't worry about him unless you are in eliminations.

Your launch and 1-2 shift are 80% of your race, if you screw either of those up there is no way to save the ET after that, so don't try to force it.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^Wise words.

When is the next auto-x? If I can shift some parts I would like to do it. Plus matt d. said i could get a ride I want to see If like this auto-x thing.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Sept 11th it is. Who's got a trailer? lol I'm sure I'll need one by the end of the day.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

If I can round up an AEM by then I will make it out for the 11th.

And to quote Kyle the night before I was going to the track "you will have no issue with your cousins CBR 1000rr, that with a good rider can run a 9.5@150"
He has ridden the bike in question more then a few times.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^I don't understand your quote is it from kyle s?
DSMlink?

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I won't be racing the 11th, but hopefully I can caravan with you guys to watch :) Car will not be ready in time, at least not ready to race.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I might come out on the 11th, I need to take a look at what I can get for time off.

Maybe I'll actually put down respectable times this time around.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

At least you'll be out there trying! That's all that matters man!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I'm down to spectate, I'm waiting on parts from MAP so that will decide on if I will be racing or not.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Aww F it. Going to BIR this Wed. I don't have patience to wait 2 more weeks. Gonna put up or get shut up... one of the two.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^Good luck. Wed. is supposed to be nice weather wise and my next. scheduled day to work on the car.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Dan with the blue 2JZ Supra said he is planning on going wed night to give the new setup a try.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Actually, I won't. :(

Work schedule went up a bit early this week so I didn't have a chance to put in my requests. And surprise, surprise, I'm working another Saturday. I need a fucking desk job.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Give me your car I'll run it...I just wanna drive down the damn 1/4...been waiting months for it :) I just hope I can get there this year yet...doubtful...but spring time...I am going to rip it up.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Yea Spaz, give it to Murlo. Actually, here's an idea....give it to.......Swifty!!!!! lol jk

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^When is the talon going to get done?

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Dave, if you really want to, you can come grab it from me in Plymouth that morning. I've got other options to drive to work so it's not a big deal.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^Shit. I would take you up on that deal

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Then Dave can give me a ride. Don't worry, I've never had a black car throw a rod with me in it. :lol:

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I was more or less kidding, honestly i am too afraid to drive other people's cars the way they should be on the track...I don't want to mess anyone else's car up if you know what i mean.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Let's run our beaters. "I owe you a 20 second car." lol.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

That is probably even more likely to break, lol...then I am really screwed as that is my back up car :)

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I'd worry more about Lomker's Acclaim. Those things were steaming piles right off the assembly line :lol:

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

My mother's 4cyl Spirit was a lemon but the Acclaim v6 had been pretty good to Dad. 153k miles right now.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I'll run the jetta if you run your beater!

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

96' Buick Park Ave, 240k, original everything, 3800 series 2 V6.

It's on.

:P

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

96 Toyota Camry XLE, 225k, 4 sillyn-der. "lightweight" Eclipse GS-T Chrome rims. no one aint gonna beat this beast. Rear shocks are dead for better 60 foot.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

I am half tempted to say we should organize a beater 1/4 day and get a trophy for the winner :)

But.....we don't drive our fun cars there enough so lets start with doing the real cars first, haha.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

'89 ranger 2.3 4cyl, with 8 spark plugs. May get equipped with DP NOS.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

Fuck yeah. I want to see that.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

The plan is to have it done by the fall dyno day. It's all in Primo's hands though.

Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League
 

^Awesome, hopefully sooner than later.
