Looking to go and watch Carltalon if he is still planning on going.
A few of my friends are hopefully going to get their shit ready this week and will be running.

Carl and I were talking about posting this up.

Weather looks to be great fri,sat and sunday.

Who's in? :drive1:

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I was planning on it, but since the car is down I wont be able to make it.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm going for shure. I need all the practice I can get before Proving Grounds. I guess the track was compleatly redone a few years back with concreate launching pad and all the works so it should be alot better then it used to be. I'll be bringing my pop-up canapy and small Charcoal grill.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

^Sweet. I'll call u friday or something and we can figure out some stuff.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I will probably be there with the evo. Only spectating though bald ass snow tires FTL :(

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I cant see myself beating on my car for the 1/8 mile. Maybe i will come watch

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Can i borrow your wheels/tires so i can beat on my car then :D

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile

Ohh how i do!

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Maybe tho if I come out to watch

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Well thats up to you. Just let me know ahead of time so i can bring tools+ a jack.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

1/8th is good for practicing your technique.

75% of drag racing is that 1st 1/8th mile.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

The only difference in the 1/4 as opposed to the 8th is a shit into 4th, and keeping it pegged and revving it out. All the "difficult" parts are in the first 1/8th mile. You have to get faster at the 1/8th before you can get faster in the 1/4.

I wish I could go. I will be going this year, at least once. Hopefully twice.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

It's not for me... I like hittin 4th gear and more speed.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

More practice = More speed.

You can go fast on a freeway, you can get good at running a strip at an 1/8th mile. (or 1/4.)

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm thinking of going with the V... we shall see.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Cool, maybe we can get a caravan going. I have never been and will be going thru brooklyn park 610/252 area to get my friends.

If i don't drive my car GG you can use my wheels I am waiting to see how the rest of the week works out.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Also remember, more speed equals more braking that needs to be done. 1/4 mile puts more wear on them than an 1/8 mile. 1/8 mile is good practice for sure.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Come on, you can't use the same excuse two months in a row. Drop the air pressure and go.

I'm going to swap the turbos between my cars, Holset to the 2G, 16G to the 1G. I'll probably race my 2G again this time, and save the 1G for next time. I really want to break 100MPH in the 1/8.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

^I've been wanting to meet with you.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Haha jeff my tires are already down to about 32psi. My fronts are bald and I have to make them last a little while longer. If I use the 2-step I have absolutely no traction until 3rd gear with these tires. However I will be ordering new tires in about 2 weeks or so.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I can't go saturday I cause I have to work :( but I might be out there sunday with the bike and to watch a guy I work with race his camaro.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Carl we will bring some hot dogs and buns. I'll tell my friends about the grill and get them to bring some shit.

I don't think i'll be driving my 5spd.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

My friends will bring some burgers to grill. I'm going to work on geting the auto checked out.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm not going try drag racing ever again at that high of pressure, I was running 22/18 or something last time.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Ok, so is anyone going from the cities?

I will be leaving with a small crew from 252/610 area hopefully about 8am.

Im not sure what I am going to drive yet.

Oh I have never been there which way is the fastest? 394 to 12 or 94 to 25?

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm out, decided to go boating since it's finally a nice weekend.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

394 to 12 is fastest since the track is right on highway 12 between litchfield and grove city.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm not going to make it :( My car just isn't ready; just got it running tonight, no exhaust hooked up and I haven't relocated my wideband to the o2 housing yet. Can't really do a good AND safe SD tune with a different turbo without my wideband.

Plus I have an anniversary party for my grandparents starting at noon that's probably 45 minutes from the track.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Ghey :(

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Anyone still coming? Races are just starting now!

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

I'm out, too much to do, plus $$$.

Good luck.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Kody, did anyone else actually show up?

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

Yea carltalon and his friend sorry I don't remember his name. Carltalon was whoopin some ass though I will let him tell his story and post his vids :D

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

That was a good day. The track is way better then the last time I was there paved pits and completly new racing surface.

I ran consistant 8.4 1/8th's @101 and a best of 8.3 I was hoping to run in the 7's but the MPH makes me happy my previous best MPH was 6mph slower. This was great practice for next weekeng I should be able to run some 11's easy.

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

What kind of 60' times with the FWD?

Re: Grove creek this sat. $35 1/8 mile
 

2.0 60 ft times. they prep the 60 ft pretty good then it gets slick for 2nd and 3rd gears.
