FWD Match Race

[SPOOLIN]

Anyone interested in setting up a match race in the alabama, ga, carolinas region? need
atleast 4 cars to do it obviously. Just a thought to get through this
spell of no events to race at. 4 rules, 1: FWD, 2: 4 cyl max, 3: 25" max tire and 4: 72mm max turbo.

To be done at a good test n tune day...no Friday night madness bullshit.

[DarKStaR]

Are we talking money to enter? What track, and are you trying to do it this year(2010)?

[SPOOLIN]

yes, whatever track will allow it/have a good test n tune day/yes of course this year. It doesnt have to happen...but its an idea to stir up some activity. depending on the car counts would determine payout, since this is an intermediate match race type thing...we can keep it low cost. if 8 people put in 75$....then thats 600$....
1st: 300
2nd: 150
3rd: 150

or

1st: 250
2nd: 150
3rd: 100
4th: 100

Something simple along those lines, the money we put in, is what is in the pot. if there is 4 cars....then you put in 100

1st: 250
2nd: 150

Simple, fun

Steele is a good place that TnT's on sundays...never a huge crowd, i dont know about TnT at other places, maybe someone else can chime in, Obviously to keep cost down, we will all just have to deal with the track prep that is dealt for the TnT...which is usually good.

[DarKStaR]

Sounds interesting, i mean i cant compete with your car or some of the other bigger turbo cars, unless something breaks(no pun intended). But we need stuff like this to get more people around here to get in it.

[*EFilliated*]

If an all motor fwd comes up I'm down.

[DarKStaR]

doubt that will happen

[SPOOLIN]

the all motor guys could put something together...but the demand for them is lower than the 600+ hp turbo cars that i know are out there in this region. also....safety shit like cages will not be enforced by the group...only a track official can kick you out for that in this situation...run what you brung just follow the 4 simple rules. I know steele is very lax on safety stuff, all drivers MUST HAVE HELMET though.

[KDM>JDM]

down to be a tow vehicle for darkstar lol

[DarKStaR]

Sounds good lol. I like the idea of not enforcing the cages and stuff. Althought i dont need one,yet, i will need one soon but its not going to happen until after my wedding in april. I wonder how far steele is from macon, compared to the montgomery track.

[SPOOLIN]

not much further, its almost 4 hrs from macon to steele, i guess its like 3 hrs to mont?

[Da_unknown]

sounds like a good idea matt

[B18c1Turboed]

I might go if you do in Montgomery. I dont really care for the steele track much!Do a hat drawing after each race too see who races who the following round. Now that would make it fun...hahaha

[SPOOLIN]

most of the time a match race would still entail at least 1 qual round...pretty much like any other race. A hat drawing format could be considered though.

Montgomery has a sunday test n tune, as well as the track at steele, steele will hook better, and provide a lot better track care than MMP will for a regular TNT. Steele has done improvements to their run out if thats why you don't like it. I ALWAYS pull 1.6 60's at steele and i never just start spinning my ass off when i cross the 1/8 marks.

[Z0_o6]

hmm... might be fun.

[Sneezin]

im tring to get mine back together but the wife keeps stealing all the money...so im stuck like chuck right now....did you race up here sat?

[SPOOLIN]

where would i have raced jay? lol...i def. dont street race.

[BABY J]

Koolest idea this year. Nice Matt.

[DarKStaR]

looks like i might need to push the little 57 trim a little harder lol

[NEMO]

what about nitrous?

[DarKStaR]

Do you mean an all nitrous car or turbo plus nitrous?

[NEMO]

Do you mean an all nitrous car or turbo plus nitrous?
well either for all the people to know but for me just nitrous :ninja:

[DarKStaR]

Im positive an all nitrous car would be allowed since you dont see many going 10s. And im pretty sure turbo+nitrous cars would be allowed also

[Sneezin]

your page said your next race was sept 11 in fayetteville, north carolina

[SPOOLIN]

I didn't go, had issues that prevented the car from running on the new setup.

sure, nitrous is allowed, follow the 4 basic rules.....any supercharger allowed to, if its turbo....72mm is the max.

[gforce71]

very interesting. If I get my ish running competitively again, I would be down. I'm coming for you darkstar... eventually haha

[Evil Goat]

Sounds interesting, i mean i cant compete with your car or some of the other bigger turbo cars, unless something breaks(no pun intended).

lol

[Catnip]

If I could get the weight of my car to that of a Civic, I'd be in... lol. :(

[h22 jones]

gforce71 i read your sig and was wondering if you was trying to say spoolin had a small penis lol. I knew he was trying to compensate for something making that much hp lol.

[h22 jones]

Not trying to thread jack your thread spoolin and if you want me to start another one let me know but i think we are wanting the samething . Something to do at the track lol. My dad has been trying to come up with a race basicaly the same thing your trying to do just have a day at the track with all the guys. He was thinking more of a team event 5 on 5 or 8 on 8 hell it can be 5 on 8 that dont realy matter and instead of having classes match each other with a close opponent evrybody wants to be competitive and everybody loves a close race why not every race be kinda close.

Ok lets say each person puts up 100 dollars ( doesnt have to be that much could be 20 i dont care ) and each race is for 100 dollars odds are each team isnt gonna win every race lets say it ends up 3 to 2 well team a with 5 team members split 100 dollars while team b splits losing a 100 dollars so you win a little or lose a little . im sure there is a good way to do it and im sure me and joey could get 5 people or 8 people i mean half could be 14 second cars dont matter how fast they are just conpetitive racing . Lets say we all get to the track make a rule if mteam a calls you out and there with in 2 tenths to you time you have to accept. I know people lies about there times but i know just about everybody at every race i go to and about what they run. thats also easy to fix if you run a fatser time then you claim to have ever run you lose thats easy.

Im sure somebody with more experince can make this way better i just feel if were gonna put a race together why not do it how we want to . There are never enough people at the races for all the brackets and by the time you devide everybody and you got your slow and fast cars per bracket there maybe two that run close to each other. I run allmotor but i would rather have 14,13,12,11,and10 second brackets atleast the races wouid be closer if you got a high 13 second car run the 14 second class just dont break out .

again spoolin not trying to thread jack you but im tired of nobody being at the races and the only close race you see is the last one in each bracket .The fact is nobody wants to race if they dont have a chance in winning . I you divded the classes by seconds nobody would give a shit what anybody was running . Most the people even build there car by seconds you get 13s you build for 12s you get 12s you build for 11s just like you wanting 9s now so it realy makes sence to me just a idea man either way im down for anything at the track just to get out the house lol.

[*EFilliated*]

Im down for mid 12s low 13s. All motor.

[SPOOLIN]

well if we can get enough cars together to go have some fun we can make up some sort of structure to go with it.

[boosted347]

would it still be limited to fwd 4 cylinder?

[*EFilliated*]

FWD

[SPOOLIN]

would it still be limited to fwd 4 cylinder?

yes, most definitely and not because of being scared, but because thats the way it is. Theres not enough cars to do what i want to do....well there is but some are up and down or they are fickle characters...but i know in our neck of the woods there are 2 of us that are ready 1 coming shortly...and another guy attempting to build a car.

[Z0_o6]

if I can get mine back together, broken in, and up the boost I'd be happy to participate. Just got a lot standing in the way at the moment, namely an unfinished engine.

[boosted347]

o i kno its not because you are scared seein as how your car would drag my car lol but its all good man, just wonderin is all, hope it all goes down smoothly and ends up happenin, should be fun

[SPOOLIN]

might have to be in late november or december....haha. Reynolds for the win on a december time frame, as far south as feasibly attainable. lol

[h22 jones]

sounds good to me had along day trying to make it to mainstream today. I got a bad vibration coming from the car trailer figure out my tire was seperating so we unloaded the hatch and dad went on mainstream . i found a used tire (im so cheap lol) in jacson and made it there before they got done so it turned out pretty to not be to bad of a day at least everything got accomplished. I honestly feel like there is so much shit that happenes to me that when something goes wrong i just fix it and keep on going like its just another day no big deal lol. I have the worst luck but ive learned to live with it.

[h22 jones]

[SPOOLIN]

well it seems people think they got shit, and can talk shit, wheres the action going to happen?

[Glade]

I'm down for this. if its in a few months.. I don't think I'm making much over 400 right now..

[h22 jones]

Did i miss something? I thought you said it would be late november or early december? I wish we could get something together im bored.

[SPOOLIN]

no biggie, it can be whenever. right, late nov or december is fine.

[EmminoDaGreat]

mike jawnz gonna whip ur ass spoolin

[SPOOLIN]

lol with a dollull bilw

[112480]

the all motor guys could put something together...but the demand for them is lower than the 600+ hp turbo cars that i know are out there in this region.

So what about the all motor guys who aren't afraid to go against u 600+hp turbo cars???

[SPOOLIN]

So what about the all motor guys who aren't afraid to go against u 600+hp turbo cars???

well....thats within the limits so i'm not going to tell you no.

[Z0_o6]

well im no longer gonna make it :(

[h22 jones]

what happened zo_o6 ? and spoolin has to have somebody to race mine as well beat me im not scared of losing or we could just give him a buy run lol anybody got any other ideas he his way out of my league?

[SPOOLIN]

we can figure something out, i know a guy that is building a nice car that will be done in november. that would make 4 possible fast big turbo cars in the area to join in. maybe 5 if i feel like letting julio run his box with his 76mm haha.

[Z0_o6]

what happened zo_o6 ?

I leave for basic training on 10/28 so I won't be around to run my turd. It will be out and about eventually though haha

[DarKStaR]

i will enter with my baby setup just to put more cars in the field

[EmminoDaGreat]

what happened zo_o6 ? and spoolin has to have somebody to race mine as well beat me im not scared of losing or we could just give him a buy run lol anybody got any other ideas he his way out of my league?

just jump out on him w/ all motor power, he will get scared and miss a shift!!

[SPOOLIN]

just jump out on him w/ all motor power, he will get scared and miss a shift!!

don't wish another 121 on me. lol

[h22 jones]

I know thats right ive never seen a honda pick the rear wheels off the ground .Do you think thats what lead to the rod giving up last year ? I know its fixed now i was just curious thats ruff stuff.

[EmminoDaGreat]

don't wish another 121 on me. lol



no 121's just 1 2 fuck where is 3

[DarKStaR]

^thats what i was looking for in the 1st round of IS lol

[SPOOLIN]

im sure it flash fatigued the metal, 14,000rpm in an instant is going to stretch a lot of shit, but it didn't stay stretched. Oh well, i've fixed the issues in my technique and that shifter where that shouldn't happen again. Dog box is relentless, no mistakes.

[anothaRRR]

This sounds like a fun idea, just have fun, hang out and race... Perfect combination for a fun day... If u are still looking to do this I'm game, as long as my car is done, which it should be within the next week or so...

[j0nbunklah0m]

im down to run. im only makin 200 horses though

[*EFilliated*]

I'm in the same region as u, this is for 11sec and faster it seems


im down to run. im only makin 200 horses though

[SPOOLIN]

need to find a warm day lol

[JJSPEC Racing]

So, is this topic dead? Who wants to do this in the first quarter of 2011 at Silver Dollar?

[justnprsh07]

I do I do considering my my last time at the track sucked balls and I want to try out my new setup

[SPOOLIN]

i would consider it. I kinda wanted it to be something during a dead period mid season like we always have so it gives us all something to do. there is 2-3 races already for the first qtr.

[JJSPEC Racing]

When you want to do it Matt? Would Silver Dollar be a good option and how many cars do you think that would show up to race?

[SPOOLIN]

well between us and danny's group, thats 6-7 cars possibly right off the bat. Silver dollar would be fine with me but it HAS to be done during the day, no night time friday night test n tune crap. Saturday or a sunday.

[JJSPEC Racing]

I will get it set up on a Saturday. Just let me know what month. There should be a few local people that might want to join in the fun too. Should be fun!

[justnprsh07]

I know ill have prob 6 or 7 that will run but really only 2 to run yals level

[JJSPEC Racing]

I need to have a 2 month window of when you would want this so I can make sure it doesnt conflict with anyone's schedule. So when would be good?

[h22 jones]

just let me know and you know joey will want to make it so make sure he has time to swap days.

[JJSPEC Racing]

Yep, lining up a schedule with SDR for 2011 and will put this in there. Just need to know when Matt would like to do this since he is the one that suggested it. I dont know that I will have anything to run then since my customers come first but I will definately be there watching and enjoying some good old fashioned drag racing!

[SPOOLIN]

well shit, i guess the other boys from the GA need to chime in...I think we should wait til all of the drag racing schedules are solidly available so we can do it when theres a big gap in the racing around this area.

Im thinking end of JUNE first of JULY honestly, not the weekend before july 4th though lol, my wife is an Independence baby.

If the SICC race comes to the region again i want to be ready, it was in august/september this year.

[JJSPEC Racing]

I here ya! Just bring lots of bottled water and sunscreen cause it will be warm. June may work out good.

[justnprsh07]

What is the schedule for 2011 I would like to start running in more events I'm not gonna travel to far unless it's something big

[SPOOLIN]

Import Showdown is not determined yet. Import Face Off has set their schedule.

http://www.importfaceoff.net/index.htm

[justnprsh07]

Is that the main and or only events for hondas in the south east

[B18c1Turboed]

We will be there as long as our cars aint broken... :)

[justnprsh07]

Which are the good ones to go to and how far do yal travel

[B18c1Turboed]

We plan on going to Rockingham race and maybe a Gainsville Florida race.

[jnv255]

Sounds fun

[SPOOLIN]

I plan to go to Rockingham as well...and maybe a Gainesville Race...I need to get with some people and see how strict they are, I'm not paying 500$ for a license yet just to use it at one venue.

[B18c1Turboed]

Gainsville aint strict at all.We went last year too watch a race and few people where running mid 9s with no cage at all. I was kinda shocked becasue that track is super nice... Rockingham im not sure about.

[SPOOLIN]

rockingham is IHRA, you can get away with enough.
