How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I live fairly close to Rock Falls here in WI(about 1hr). How many of you go on a regular basis there? I'm not talking about the guy who shows up once every 2 or 3 years. Everytime i go on an import day, i seem to get disgusted because of the lack of DSM showup and instead looking at the junk that pulls in. I favor going on the domestic days because of the crappy turnouts on import day. For some of that crap, i'd rather watch paint dry. I also go on test and tune days. It's $69 but you get to go as many times as you want, ideal for tuning. I hope to see some of you faster guys over here next summer.

With all the mods i'm doing over the winter, i hope to be there more than usual. We usually make 2 trips to Union Grove too down by Milwaukee. Nicer variety cuz you get the guys from Chicago there.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I'm usually there on the Sunday Fundays so I can run some domestics.
I'd go to an Import Day if it's on a Sunday but they don't prep shit.

I'm thinking of finally hitting up CF this year though. Everyone says it's way better.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Yeah those 'el cheapos won't spend a little to prep it on a day that they generate alot of revenue from. Fun Days are good. I love my DSM but in my blood, i still love to watch the domestics.

Hope to see ALOT of you guys next summer. No sense building 600whp cars if you're not gonna take them to the track. You're sure not gonna use that power on the x94 freeways.

C'mon over....

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Fuck the rock. Haven't been there in 2 years now and if I build another car I wouldn't take it there.

I would take the drive to one of the IA tracks first.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Is it because you live in Iowa now and the Rock is more than a two hours drive.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Where is this Rock Falls place you speak of? I don't think many people on here have been there yet.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Nope, I love just west of the Cities in MN. The Rock is much closer. The IA tracks are just better in my opinin.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

The Rock is about 10 minutes from Eau Claire. Cedar has to be somewhat of a hike for you isn't it? I just checked mapquest and Cedar Falls would be a 6hour drive for me so that would be stupid. I'd rather go to Union Grove. I can't say much for the owner of Rock but at least its close by. I heard there is a track in the cities somewhere but it's only 1/8 mile and that doesn't really turn me on. All i'm saying is that i wish i would see more variety out there no matter where it is. Kinda pointless to build a 500 and 600hp car just for bragging rights. I have seen Brian out at the track though a few times.

If you're a Honda lover then Import Day at the Rock is for you. I can only laugh at those that gut out just about anything that is held on my a few screws and then stacked in a pile. Some of the piles get pretty big.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I'm there about 1 or twice a year, but I'm the guy brining in the junk.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

jeff- maybe i'll watch for you. what you driving/racing?

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

93 Ford Escort.

I'm not too hard to spot.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

We usually go over 3 or 4 times a year, usually on fun days. Sometimes I hit up an import day just to be one of the fastest cars there :D Cedar Falls is about an extra hour for us, but the track is prepped a lot better, so it makes it worth while.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I'm planning on a lot more track days this year, but I'm only going to RF if the IA tracks got something else going on. RF sucks. Fun days are the only ones I'd be going to, the import days are a waste of time and money.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

WE go to RF atleast twice or three times a year thats about it...CF how far is that from the cities?

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Cedar Falls is about a 3 hour drive from the cities, and Tri State Raceway is about 3.5 hours.

I do hope to have a car ready by next summer and Tri State will probably be the only track I will visit.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Isn't Tri-State where you ran your best times on the T25?

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

yup, but I just liked the fact that on any given day you can get as many runs as your car and take. Like Cher's cousins supra that kepts going and going and going till finally his clutch was just enough to get him back to the cities. 30+ runs that day. I did the same thing with my 2G down there before I had the front mount. 25 runs and the clutch got me just enough to get it back to the cities.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I go to Rock Falls any time my cars running. Hopefully I can make it down to the Iowa tracks a few times this year as well.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I'm planning on going down to Tristate or Cedar falls. BIR hasn't been too bad for the Wed night racing though. Although, I only made it there a couple of times I still had my best pass there. Hopefully, can improve on that this spring in IA.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

The traction seems to be the same at the sandpit unless you go on a test and tune day. Then they actually prep the slip and slide.
Rockfalls is a decent track, but when the stealth is finished, i'll probably try to hit up the Iowa tracks.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I show up every sport compact day I can..
But I dont have a DSM, look for a red SRT.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Thanks for the responses to this thread.... I will email Jennifer Anderson about the track prepping. She is the track director at Rock Falls. They do pretty good on Import Days so i think we deserve something in return. I can't think of any reason why they don't prep it other than the fact that most people use radial tires and not slicks. I know when i go up to the line, i drive around the water box. I will post back anything i hear back. Probably won't be till later though. I have to run to one of our other branch sites.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Assuming the car is done, I will probably be going to BIR on Wed night for the heads up stuff. I don't want to waste gas at the rock except possibly at a test in tune if I need to. If I go there again, it will likely be to support/watch others on the site or our customers.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

It is all the FWD cars on radials that hose up RF. They burn off all the traction compound. I guess us AWD guys that spin through 2nd don't help much either :D

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I only gone 3 times this year. Two of the three were Import Days and that One Fun Day outbeat those two import days..haha. If I knew how many DSMs went on Fun Days, I would've gone there instead. I'm thinking up hitting up one of those Test and Tune days. I've never been to those before. I would like to go to CF, but its a ways away and if my car breaks down...I'm in deep S***. If I had 10+ runs, I wouldnt have clutch anymore. Had 4 runs at the first import day and after that I couldnt go above 1/3 throttle or I'd just slip like mad. I'm making my way into the low 13's at the least.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

i 'm there atleast 6 or 7 times a year if not more maybe that is cause i live 10 min away from the rock!!!

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I live 9x further from the Rock and I'm always scared of breaking something, so I go when I feel like its going to be a good day. I can feel my tranny starting to show symptoms of breaking. I think its time for her to be rebuilt!

Rare pic of my car running!

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I'm pretty sure i've seen this car(yours) at the Rock before. I've only seen maybe a handful of 2g Eclipses there that were fast, 12's or faster. Are you the one that Brian told me was making 551whp?

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

Mine makes a little more than that, not sure who he was talking about. There were some 1Gs making around that power last summer.

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I think you photoshopped your wheel onto another white 2G, we all know your car never runs. ;)

Re: How many of you guys show up at Rock Falls on a regular basis?
 

I think the tar will have disintegrated by then. :D
