Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Same here too. If I can sneak in and get a tune before the 9th I am all game.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

i'm probably going, but not the DSM, not feel like running a stock car and breaking it before i get parts on!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

The stealth should be there.
Its getting close, I'll know by wednesday.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I'm looking to spectate if the weather is nice.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I will be there. Watching.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I'm planning on racing... I'll know by friday. Vassil and Tim are planning on racing. Should be a lot of fast cars there!!! :D

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

People say that every year, come actual race day 3/4 of the people back out and there ends up being one fast DSM.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Yeh I heard that before!:D Hope to see it running there.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I might have to spectate if the stealth is running. keep us posted. The laser is still a few weeks out. I'll hopefully be ready for the next race

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Well I know of an 11 second 1g and Evo that will be there for sure. Both have cages and are ready to run some good times. The Evo is looking for a 10. Ran an 11.4 last weekend @ 25psi, this weekend 35psi with his setup should put him there hopefully. Depends on how well the track is prepped.

Never ran my setup yet, yesterday was the first time I started the new motor. We'll see how it does.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I'll be there recording everything!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Ill be there. Ill be in the green 1g and the white 92 vr-4 with an fmic will be with me.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Eeek... High of only 47 Saturday!! If I'm there, it will be only as a spectator. Too cold yet to drag it out of the garage. Actually anyone who is going should post an update Saturday sometime. Last year, like 8+ people from here said they were going and I decided to go. Got there and only 2 dsmstyle guys showed up besides myself.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

i will be there..running my car or spectating, i will be there..so will cher ( I am dragging his ass outta bed at 6:00am to get there)

I live in Eau Claire. During winter Eau Claire started selling 93 octane. Only one so far is a shell station close to the corner of US12 and Highway 53. I think I'll just spectate this one. If ya guys are up for it, we can get some grub before, or after rockfalls.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

If they do like they do in the past, it will not be prepped very well. There fun days are nice to go, because the track is prepped much better.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

who cares about track prep? i swear most of the cars that go... they're not worth prepping the track for. that being said, I'm going too!

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Yeah but a lot of times their track is shittier than most city streets.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

are you guys going to meet somewhere before you guys go? I'm goin with my brother in a 1996 Honda Accord EX. Hope to meet ya guys there. 47 degrees on that day too...thats plenty cold...

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Hmmm, I am going to try and start the car tonight. I might try and make it out, but the track is going to suck probably. I'll have to see if I can get it tuned yet this week.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Poor track Prep = Better chance of NOT breaking something (sometimes) :D

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Yeah, it is pretty pointless for us higher HP guys that will spin all the way through 2nd gear though. If the car is tuned I will go just to shake off some rust, but I won't be expecting anything decent for times.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I just bought some new stuff so my car will be down for a little bit, but I've got a new toy I'm picking up on Friday. Won't be able to make it for this Sunday, but with a little tuning, I shouldn't have too much problem getting thrown out of RF with my new ride. :D

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

In defense of RockFalls. They put down as much (or more) track prep as any other NHRA sanctioned track. The problem is the 300+ street tire cars that come and rip up the vht. (This includes the AWD guys with street tires). Some things I've talked to Jennifer about:
1)Slicks only lane. This would provide serious traction for those with slicks. The problem is that maybe 2% of the entire population uses slicks currently.
2)AWD/RWD and FWD lanes. This would be very hard to facilitate. The split still isn't near 50%.

I would say, if you need to see serious bite, go there on a test and tune day. I've seen some of "our" best 60' times at Rockfalls, including my 1.70x 60' (on a 3 bolt) many moons ago.

p.s. I'll still know wednesday/thursdayish if the stealth is going. If it does, expect 1 of 3 things.
1)We finished it Sunday morning and we are there to show the car and eat food.
2)We finished it Saturday morning and it has a rough tune. I'll probably make a few exibition passes.
3)We finished it friday night and it makes good power. I probably won't hook below 100mph. (This is still the goal!)

Either way, I hope we can meet 1 of the 3 above goals.

I can talk to Jennifer (track manager) about setting up a DSM shootout. The only problem would be the turnout required. I would like to see it as a big event. We could even turn it into an all Mitsu shootout.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

RockFalls is junk, and always will be junk, but it's entertainment. I remember asking the guy to spray some down and squirted to tiny spots. Thanks for nothing.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Yeah....I'm sure my center diff loved the times I launched with my rear tires in puddles made by FWD's driving through the water box.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I am with Cher on this one. I have hooked decent on a rare occasion at RF (one slow fun day was great), but nothing like Cedar Falls. Cedar Falls does use more VHT too and it goes much farther down the track, not just the first 60'.

Anyway, who else is going to go? Maybe I will take the bike over if the talon doesn't make it. I can warm up the rear tire and burn it off before I put new rubber on for the year :D

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I'm still waiting for more of you guys to actually hit up Tri State one of these years. ;)

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

ANd it looks like Jana and I will be heading out to watch in the Jeep, so if anyone needs a ride out we should have some space.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Damn if all of you actually go I should jump in the S and meet you all there.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

Damnit, I have to work too. shitty....

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I fixed my stupid coolant pushing problem. I will be going now, unless something stupid happens to my car. In the Black 91 AWD. Hoping to break something, err I mean 11s.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

i'm going i was wondering if any of you dsm guys wanna ride up there together we all could meet some where and rider there dsm style lol hit me back if it sound like a plan or like you said see you there

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
 

I am going too. prolly won't run, cause it will be tuned on pump. but, i am going with jason (ling ling) cher, joe (saturn from tekone..don't hate..he is slow, but a very cool guy who doesn't talk shit) and i dunno who else. I THINK everyone is meeting in hudson with MNSC..who knows if that will happen though.

Re: Rock Falls April 9th (sunday)
