It's over buddy. If you're car isn't running today I highly doubt you'll be attending Sacramento. Once you guys get your car running shoot me a pm and I'm sure we could get a few to meet up with you.

It's almost game day boyz and girls....are you ready!!!! I just received my new DR's today and they look nice, balanced and mounted....thanks CCW!!!! It will be very interesting to see how the CCW's perform against my Kosei's. I could tell you one thing...I'll have a set of DR's for sale by end of the night, just don't know which one....or I just might keep them both. We'll see.

Where's Zgluide? I know he's been lurking and looking....where rrrrrrr uuuuuuuu Bill!!!! Come on Bill we lost a couple of guys today and we need more. iiiMBiii and AMGSC will not be making it.

That's not what Vadim said and I did not concede nor approve of missing this Friday. He is going to make it come hell or high water.

Hey GUYS, can't wait for Friday,

But I have a question, are we RACING on a track, or is drags, if it is drags, how many runs do we get, cause $100 is kind of expensive compared to Infineon's $25

Thanks

This is for racing 1/4 mile and you could run 100 times, place is usually void of cars.

this is a 12-4 session and a 4-10 session , so lots of runs.

One more day

If you're looking for consistent ET's I have a feeling you will be selling the koseis shortly. Good luck tomorrow! Keep us posted What is the weather supposed to be like tomorrow?

That's why we pick the Test n Tune days it keeps the cheap ricers away and it's run when you want as many times as you want. You just have to wait in line if there even is one. Last time I did 16 runs with 45 minutes of cooling down in between. I didn't want to run anymore to beat her up. So IMO it's well worth the $50 a session! They do have street legal or grudge days but a lot of 15sec cars and slower show up and congest it up causing you to only have a few runs. Hope you still come out, I'll be there for both sessions and work on some things during the first then get serious for the last session!

I sure hope you're right about selling the Kosei's, it's a gamble but had to be done . Shoot me your # and I'll text some results unless you already have someone in mind.

The weather should be decent on the early afternoon runs. Around 11:30-12:30 should be close to +1000 and by 4:30 we'll be looking at +2xxx. The late evening runs will be where the money is at, we should reach somewhere around 400-600 positive DA....we'll see.

I might make it after all. Car started up and sounded strong. Vadim is driving it around now to break it in and datalog in preparation for retuning. He'll let me know tonight if all is good or if sh*t happens.

I'm looking for a good direct port injection dual stage nitrous system now.

Sorry everyone but I just talked with the track owner Dave Jr. He said we can only have Black Benzs at the event, some theme for the weekend or whatever. Sorry to all you off color owners, better luck next year!

I'll make sure and do that. I just received notice that Sal can't make it and I'm waiting to hear from Rick...he's MIA!!! Oh well....

No LT's yet but I do have a few things new that I'll be trying. I don't think my car will have a 10 second pass in her yet, maybe with cooler weather. Anyways, the LT's will be on the 27th of this month and my custom tune on the 28th.

13 hours to go.....

Everyone be safe on the drive up to SAC...

Also, the last time I was on the 80 freeway just pass North Texas Road there were some major road construction for couple of miles. Not sure if they fixed the road yet, but WATCH OUT FOR THOSE POTHOLES AND DIPS.... I already bent 1 HRE wheel last time

Nice goodies, what is it?

Actually it's my boss the Secretary of Energy that wants that and all roof tops to be white. He's a moron and that's why Obama picked him!

Darn it. Vadim informed me that there is a small vacuum leak coming from the SC so he has to pull the blower tomorrow morning. Looks like I'm out!

I should have a few new mods at the next event. (direct port Nitrous, bigger crank pulley, larger injectors, larger fuel pump, custom TCU and phenolic spacers).

Sorry to hear that Robert but there's always be next time. It's better to play it safe, especially with all the time and money you have in your beast. Making Sac would have been pushing it IMO. Let me know if you ever plan on making it up toward Sac and we'll meet up with you. Get that beast dialed in and tell Vadim to hurry up...LOL!
