Oct. 7th
 
Does this day work for anyone else? I would like to head to Cedar Falls. Rock Falls is also open and I might be down for that. I am just worried about being sent home early.

I'm down for Cedar! It should be a great show, if nothing else. I heard Rau might show up!

i'm down for cedar or rockfalls, if it doesnt rain.

Re: Oct. 7th
 
I'm telling you, Cedar that day. Swanny is planning on being there and I heard Rau might be.

Fast people go to cedar, slow people go to rockfalls. (Fast be 11's and faster).
Cedar is going to have phenominal track prep that day, so please leave the street tires at home people (yeah king of all season tires on way to powerful of a car is saying this!).

I was hoping people would like CF! I will be on DR's. You running DR's or slicks Swanny?

It's might be busy that day. A lot of the TCStangs guys are going that day and the Porky's shootout is going on that day. Last year when we were down there during that, we only got 2 runs in all day. They were letting the cars with slicks run 5 times as much as the street tire cars.

Re: Oct. 7th
 
I am going to this, just to watch though. And yes Cedar Fall track is 50 times better than Rock Falls. There is no way I would have went 12.8 at the Rock in the GTP. When I went there wasn't many cars there though, I could have went round and round but only made about 6 passes.

Jet you towing down there? Let me know, I will ride with ya.

JET 09-23-2006 06:08 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
That's true, I was down for that last year. I know they got a ton of flack for not letting the street tire cars run as much. It's too bad the Porky's thing is going on, it will make it a ton busier. I think I got 3 runs in last year.

Me and Cher might go watch the Por-que's Shootout.

Agreed, last year sucked ass. With Porkeys SO and TCstangs there that day I'm going to opt out, its not going to be worth taking the day off for it.
Last year at CF that day was like a VERY bad day at Rock Falls, track prep and all. Oh and double the drive time.

TheBlizzard 09-23-2006 08:34 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Its fun to just watch when its like that, there will be a lot of fast street cars there though. I know of a few turbo Mustangs that are going that are well into the 9s.

Hmm, my car is out, but maybe I'll bring something else. I miss being at the track.

Why is your car out? Are you still going to be at the dyno day?

Should we go the 7th or do the 14th? The 14th is Elimn8u open comp race, whatever that is.

SlowWhite 09-24-2006 01:41 AM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
I'll be down there Friday and Saturday with the LSE crew and the car will be there unless we blow it up during the dyno day. (I'm hoping to come close to maxing out my fuel system) but regardless I'm going.

If I had cash right now I'd be buying a set of hoosier dr's/slicks, but I have a set of bfgoodrich drag radials I can borrow from another 3s'er.

Re: Oct. 7th
 
If anyone wants to watch at Rock falls, I still have the two free tickets I won at the last dyno day you could have for free. PM me if you want to pick them up. I won't be abel to go.

Looks like my twin disk ate my tob and a bit of the tranny bellhousing hub that the tob sits on.

Nah, I don't even feel like working on it anymore.

A//// Guy 09-25-2006 03:34 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Sounds like twin disk ftl, man that sucks! So that takes 2 people off the dyno day list now. 2 that I really wanted to see make some good numbers. Booo

Kracka 09-25-2006 03:50 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Is anyone having sucess with these twin-discs?

i think shanes actually stayed together.

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Mine doesn't have a lot of miles on it though.

Goat Blower 09-26-2006 12:18 AM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
It's mostly my fault, I should've put a throttle stop and adjust it perfectly. I just moved my seat back and quit pushing the clutch to the floor like always, apparently that was still too much. There's also some talk that the stock Mitsu TOB doesn't work well with the twin disk. No money to fix it and no time either.

SlowWhite 09-26-2006 01:03 AM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
So what are the rest of the dyno guys expecting to put down for power? Maybe I'll now have a chance to take top honors

JET 09-26-2006 01:12 AM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Man, I hope that isn't what it wrong with my clutch too! I have mine adjusted so engagement is pretty low in the pedal travel so it shouldn't be moving too far, hopefully! The weather is sucking ass so I don't know if I will be able to get at it before the dyno day.

Super Bleeder!! 09-26-2006 01:31 AM

just get 6pucks guys ;)

Wait til you get the death rattle and it barely goes into gear. There's a few really good posts about it on NABR that I haven't seen any mention of before.

JET 09-26-2006 09:52 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Hmmm.... it had a hell of a vibration going on. That is why I thought the flywheel was loose again. It would be a shame to kill a shep tranny like that!

JET 09-28-2006 10:13 PM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Which part of the hub did it eat? My TOB seems a bit looser on the stub, but might be me getting paranoid.

Mine did end up being just the flywheel bolts loosening up again. Whew! I dunked them in loc-tite and torqued them down good. If they loosen up again I am taking the impact to them.

Anyone still planning on going? I know Steve is out. Swanny? Brian?

yup,, me as long as it doesnt rain.

turbotalon1g 10-03-2006 10:28 AM

Re: Oct. 7th
 
Not to be too rude, but i hope that u are going to watch, this day at CFR will be mostly 9 & 10 sec cars on drag's at the very least. There might be some 11 sec cars, so basically if u don't fall in the above catagories you are just gonna slow the action down and piss people off. Not to mention that CFR will probably not let you run too many times.
