Anyone going?

I really have the itch to go racing or at least see some its been way too long. I have a lot to do if i want to go so it will be close for me but I'd love to get some passes before MAP's Proving Grounds in 3 weeks.

Feel free to post if you are going to watch or race. :beach:

Might be interested in going... how strict are they on tech?

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

No clue I have never been there.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

I would be down. Just gotta get some new tires.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

They were'nt very strict on tech before. Last time I was there the inspector said "You've waited long enough, here you go" and marked my car without even looking at it. hah

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Where is this place?

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Grove Creek, by Litchfield.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Word.

My car is very solid, I've just never gotten around to a battery cutoff switch in the rear.

I might have to go see what my current engine can do (before ripping it out for the new one :D)

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Yeah, I'm sure they wouldn't care at all. haha.

I want to go hella bad, but my 2nd gear is impossible. :(

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

They went through my car pretty good last year. they are a NHRA sanctioned track now. Do you have your battery relocated to the rear? You wount need a kill switch if its in the stock location.

I'd like to get may car out this weekend but I dont know if it will be ready.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

It is in the rear, but that's most decidedly not the stock location. I'd just hate to drive 2 hours and get told to go home...

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

My friday night will determine if i make this, but I'm determined.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

They looked at my car for 2 min, they just looked under the hood and checked my helmet and fire jacket. I plant to make it out there for some more 60' testing. I have a flat spin 1.7 60 figured out, now for the elusive 1.5-1.6 60'.

damn, 35 bucks...I'm going to need to get out to this when my shit runs again.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

I will be there again! Yea they don't really care about tech for street cars at all. Especially if its the big black guy haha.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

LOL exactly, that guy is legit.

If you have a cage and you trailor it there, they'll do a more complete inspection.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Nice. Put me down as a strong maybe. Does anybody want to caravan out there, say meet up around 5:00 in the northwest part of the burbs?

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

I might have to take the beater jimmy down the 1/8th mile haha. The new clutch for the evo isn't going in until that sunday :(

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Ill be there around 7pm should be fun!

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Ok, i changed my plans.
I'm just going to do the basics and see what stock suspension and stock SMIC can do.

I'm down for meeting somewhere in the NW burbs to head out that way. I'm coming from blaine, lets figure out a spot asap.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Tried launching my car for the first time since it's been done, went decent. My 1-2 is fairly bad but I might try and make it out anyways.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Hell yea buddy!

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Well not sure if I'm going I'm dead sick again, it hurts to talk gonna load up on diff drugs and see what happens.

The car won't make it either.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

So where is a good place to meet for this?
Maybe the Rockford exit and 494 at about 5pm?

Feel free to text or call and let me know, I'm still in the air about going, but it sounds like a lot of people are going and I'd like to join.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

hmm i wonder what the subi would run, how long of a drive is it?

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

From Bloomington, I think around 75-80 miles.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

i would go but i dont have a helmet =( and idk what else i need

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Not going I feel worse than earlier and turns out I have a lot to do this weekend. Good luck everyone please post your results later.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

I just got home, and the car broke again, I have to take the tranny apart to confirm but I think it broke all the teeth off the center diff, or something with 3rd gear.

We lowered tire pressure to 22psi and I did a 1st gear burn out just like normal. Then lined up and slip launched from 6,000rpm. The track had plenty of bite, I slipped out the clutch and has soon as it set the rear end and started to make power I heard a loud snap/bang noise and the engine went straight to rev limiter.

So I stopped right away and tried 1st gear and nothing, so shut the car off and pushed it back to the pit.

We took the tranny out at the track and it seems to be the center diff gear is broken, so no power is going to the front diff or transfer case.

I will take the tranny apart tomorrow and come up with a parts list.

At least the car broke something it "should" have this time.

Re: Sat. 4th June 7pm Grove creek $35
 

Nate had his best 1/8th ET and mph. There were some fast hondas last night, and a few fast bikes to, It was fun.
