Something we have discussed, but it is hard to find people to fill it. I honestly think this will be a class next time, but if it doesn't fill their will not be payouts for empty classes.

SPOOLIN
10-21-2010, 12:31 PM
there is a LOT of all motor guys in florida, the payout just needs to be worth the drive, pretty much atleast 500$ and youll probably draw a field as long as it doesn't conflict with IFO or NSCRA

yeah your right they also need to allow slicks and it would be great.

that should also make the street all motor class have a better turnout, without the faster guys running off guys that need to be in the class but are running test and tune instead.

10-21-2010, 05:28 PM
We are heavily discussing a ALL MOTOR Pro style class fiberglass front ends, slicks, lexan etc... Basically giving you guys a class outside of Showdown which blows the doors off :<

This will most likely come next event as we are to close now to make the adjustments.

nobody builds all motor cars like that anymore in sport compact....they are all street class cars. theres Pro all motor cars out there that are tube chassis, or 25.5 chassis but they are but just a hand ful out of the pool.

All motor street is fine just allow slicks and able to run open headers and the turnout would be alot bigger

correct but the rules for all motor street limits you to no slicks and in my case no open exhaust.. Only other option is changing da rules or adding a all motor pro or all motor showdown class

I know by next Spring we can eather allow slicks and open header in all motor or do a separate class that allows them. I'm going to talk with he other event coordinators and see if we can do it for this year all in one class.

gastroker
10-23-2010, 03:25 PM
OK guys...due to increasingly popular demand - we are going to make the following two revisions to the ALL MOTOR Class:
1 - slicks will be allowed
2 - open header/exhaust will be allowed

Doubtful, that kind of vehicle would be a rarity and cause to much controversy. If it was different make/chassis, but not A/M I d consider something; AM is just a tight field and that could slant things to drastically.

Not trying to be mean but just b/c a magazine says your bike runs 9.60s stock does not mean in any way, shape, form that most(75% or more) of the street riders will even close to run that time. Even stretched/lowered. Also if you don't know what safety requirements you need to run safely at the the track then I'm almost certain you definitely have not run anywhere close to that on a track or street.

Most tracks require a full 1 piece or 2 piece suit, gauntlet style gloves, boots that cover the ankle, and a DOT/SFI Approved helmet at the least. Some will check for functioning cutoff switch w/ safety wire. Hope this helps. Running a bike on the drag strip is a lot harder than a car. Even stretched and lowered.

Don't forget to pre-register guys it saves $5 off your tech card.

^ sounds like you need me to be a driver! haha

Feel free to be the driver in my Panda, I don't mind because I don't seem to get any faster times so a new driver is what it needs I think. If you want you can even use your slicks on it .. not anywhere as fast as yours so don't be surprised; only traps 97-99 MPH. So what do you think?

My slicks would be to big for your setup I think. And I doubt my driving would be any better than yours.

Thanks to those offering to help me get my car going. I'm just going to sit this one out and wait for my parts so I'm not rushing putting my head together and putting the motor and trans back in the car.

There is not enough all motor cars to support two classes but atleast every body will have six months to buy a set of slicks . I also had a great time today even though i was sick as hell atleast it was a little cool at times and i got to sit down when i needed to. I realy think if i would have set in the car and put that helmet on with the windows up i would have pucked everywere lol. I ran a 12.8 in the spring import show down babying off the line trying not to break another axle and it was alot hotter on drag radials so i dont realy care what they do doesnt affect my times either way.

When it gets closer to time if you need a sponsor for the all motor class i might be able to do that also just pm the details thanks.

What a great event, i missed the 1st round of qualifying due to having to leave and go get another set of slicks. Ended up running my personal best today of 11.13@127, i really wasnt expecting that with the 22" slicks. And got into the top 4 in MS, not bad for a baby setup ;) . It was good to meet some people and talk and just have a good time. And congrats on the 1st and 2nd mssracing.

I also noticed I have alot of shit.rock debris on my slicks when I hot lap back to the staging lane.. I prolly need to do a better burnout to get rid of the shit debris? Confused..

We were spinning pretty good off the line and lost about 5 mile an hour at the eight but was trapping higher at the other end then we ever have . Im sure we could have let some air out the slicks and run some low 12s but we were running the best times of the day in the all motor class and wasnt taking a chance on breaking axles as long as the slick were spinng so we just left it alone . Had 94eg2 made it to the finals being that i saw him run a 12.9 you would have seen the little blue hatch make a low 12 second pass but no need taking a chance on breaking anything when we was doing just fine at 12.7 . Also 94eg2 i had a couple friends made me aware that me and you have meet before ? i want go into any details on the computer because im not that person but if we have meet i hope you have gotten a little older as we all do and doing good for yourself . Looks like we going to be racing each other and around each other alot. If you dont want to post in this thread atleast pm me so i will no if we no each other although im about 90 percent sure that was you.

h22 jones
11-14-2010, 01:39 PM
i dont think the debree had anything to do with the wheel hop. I was also talking to the guy at water box when i was staging jimmy and he was stating that everytim they sweeped away the debree the cars dragged it right back because of all the cars going around the water box. I beleive the major reason of keeping debree away is for cuting the slicks. Im not sure if its the extra 80 pounds on the front end from the h22 swaps or what but ive never had whell hop. Im running cut stock civic springs on weapon r coil overs i mean as shitty set up as you could get no traction bars and the car leaves like a rocket and strait as a arrow so ive never change it . All my motor mounts are solid and the motor doesnt move in the engine bay at all . Back in the day we used to ratchet strap the motor down so it wouldnt move matter fact last year i ratched jonathans to beat spoolin in the finals lol and i know that the motor bouncing around will cause it for a fact other then that maybe some of the faster guys like spooln can help . I honestly dont think it was the track though.

im not sure man maybe if you take your bottle completely out the car and if you win some idiot will still protest you have a small bottle . Have you ever ran a race before most of the time everybody stages at once so running then trying to stage to run another class would suck also racing in a race is a job alot of work i would stick to one class wich ever one you have the better chance of winning and put all my time a effort in it . Also if i came to run allmotor it wouldnt be with alot of nitrous shit under the hood you are just asking for problems weither you spray it or not.

Usually wheel hop is from too soft or worn out bushings in your suspension and/or soft motor mounts. When things are allowed to bounce around, they will. I would look into a set of aftermarket engine mounts and possibly replace bushings that are bad on the front of the car. Also you can ride the clutch a little if you remember when the car wheel hops, that seems to be hard to remember in the moment. I'd check into what I have said though, wheel hop kills axles and transmissions. Less money you have to spend on repairs the more racing you can do.

We were spinning pretty good off the line and lost about 5 mile an hour at the eight but was trapping higher at the other end then we ever have . Im sure we could have let some air out the slicks and run some low 12s but we were running the best times of the day in the all motor class and wasnt taking a chance on breaking axles as long as the slick were spinng so we just left it alone . Had 94eg2 made it to the finals being that i saw him run a 12.9 you would have seen the little blue hatch make a low 12 second pass but no need taking a chance on breaking anything when we was doing just fine at 12.7 . Also 94eg2 i had a couple friends made me aware that me and you have meet before ? i want go into any details on the computer because im not that person but if we have meet i hope you have gotten a little older as we all do and doing good for yourself . Looks like we going to be racing each other and around each other alot. If you dont want to post in this thread atleast pm me so i will no if we no each other although im about 90 percent sure that was you.

I'm guessing you missed it but after he was already knocked out he fixed one of his issues and pulled a 12.4@110. It definitely had more potential in it then what people saw.

Congrats on the win though man.

I wish he would have it fixed then that would have been a good race . I normaly run 12.3 pretty con sistent at 110 and im sure jj drives as well as i do. If yaw would have made it to the finals i would have let some more air out the slicks and that would have been a good race maybe next time we will get to do it . i hope to be in the 11s by spring . i also noticed fuel leaking when i was checking the car when we got to the track and the bolt that holds the injectors in broke thank god for zip ties lol. there are about eight zip ties on the fuel rail holding the injectors in lmao.

I had a blast!!! Thanks for everyone supporting the event and comming out!
Afterthought corrections:
This was GASTROKER's second I.S. win, not his first (sorry Mike, I wasnt there for your first and I was just a little too excited for you)
Sorry for scaring the shit out of the drivers by calling the second round of qualifying "eliminations" ...my bad (sorry again Mike lol)
Sorry for pronouncing anyone's name wrong.

Award's for my favorite names to say over the PA
1st place goes to Jungle Jungle! Never have I had so much fun saying a name and your RX7 was quite nasty
2nd place is Damage Lee (If thats your real name, then Im sorry but dude your name is Damage and it's fun to say)
3rd place would have to be Btec (I see what you did there)

If you look at the final race jj you will see how the car goes to left bad at first . The left slick didnt get hot and was spinng bad thats what i was talking about but still run a 12.9 in the heat of the day . I could also tell you shifting strongly that pass lol deosnt matter if he red lighted you still wanted to catch him thats priceless lol. I wish the camera wouldnt have shut off i was pretty sure you caught him before the finsh line. I realy believe you shifting like that and the slicks been let down a little that could have been a low 12 pass anyway fixing to push my hatch in the shop and start stripping tthe bay so i can get her on the road.

Oh, I saw how bad it went left, but you also see me correcting it and driving it like it was a Sunday drive, not missing a beat, lol! We were side by side at the end with him getting a .558 head start at the beginning of the race. Believe me, I wasnt driving as hard as I could after I saw the red turn on. No need to kill the car when you get the win automatically. My only goal after seeing the red was to catch up with him and I did. I believe the car would have went quicker by tweaking the tire pressure and a few other things, but like we discussed, no need to stress the axles, trans, etc just to run a faster time. I mean, your dad might want to go pick up some groceries later on after all, lol!

When you said you had little trouble with fourth and i saw it spin and still run a 12.9 i was like damn get a few bugs worked out and you could hit low 12s easy . Im just glad you got to race ( because we all know you love to ) and my son got the big trophy lol . Im also glad i didnt have to do a damn thing which was my number one goal lol. I did have to install the zip ties though . I just realy enjoy it when everybody could come out an have a good time and get along with everybody else thats what its all about . Im not going to lie i have coaught some grief letting jimmy drive the car but its not my fault that people think if you own a shop then all the other shops are competitors . Im real good friends with charles that own main stream and ed that tunes at balance ,scottie that tunes at mainstream. i mean ed is a hard man to get up with and mainstream is closer scottie does great work but do you think ed gives me hell for using scottie hell no he dont care. If i thought charles had driven a cable trany before i might ask him to drive hell im friends with everybody and untill somebody gives me a reason not to be thats how it will stay simple as that. i dont care what anybody thanks. By the way the people hating dont even have a car to race and they didnt even come to the event there called shit starters thats all. Me and jimmy had a great time lol thats all that matters.

Well I have to say that the turn out was great and would have to agree with most people on here that I met some good people and had a good time. My friend finally got his mustang up and running and ran 14.3 on carbon fiber goodyears, 3.08 rearend and a drag virgin to boot. Not as quick as most but nice for a all motor daily bertha @ 3250lbs. Additionally I got to see MSS run their civics and Matt, you had a good couple of runs. Seriously think that car car get into the 9's. GAStroker is seriously fast... to be honest I was really impressed with the DSM AWD... Holy S*** that were incredibly fast and sounded good as heck. Just wanted to input that I had a good time and hope to see a turn out again... I am addicted. Hopefully will have my car up and running in the near future. Matt please check your PM.

Sorry if you caught any flack by asking me to drive. About other tuners, I will tell you if you feel more comfortable with Ed or Scotty, by all means please go to them. They are both very smart and can tune a car. I felt honored to be asked to drive the car and felt that I was capable so I accepted and I believe that I did the best job I could. At the end of the day, your son got a trophy, your dad got paid and an unbroken car, and I had the joy of being in a car that was competitive and consistant. You made the decision based on what you felt was the right thing to do and it is your car so who cares if anyone is talking smack. I had the best day I have had in a long time and enjoyed it! Thanks again!

i think you did real good considering what i found out today lol. We had to put street tire on it and let justin drive it home so i could tow his car because the altenator got into the timing belt at the track. Well when we got to the shop justin said have you had any problem with the throttle cable sticking and i siad no but i did notice quit a bit of slack in it at the track but i didnt pay it any attention because all i did was pull it off the trailer . To make along story short i guess a couple months ago when i changed intakes i finger tightened the bolts that hold the bracket to the intake for the throttle cable. The back bolt came all the way out and the front bolt was almost out so the bracket fell strait down resulting in only having about half throttle lol which explains alot . JJs driving wasnt bad at all considering he only had about half throttle lol which would be why the car wasnt running as fast as we new it could but we won so no harm done and the bolts are tight now lol. Thanks again jj me and my dad will decide who drives the car if im sick simple as that and as much as i stay sick with my imune system completly shoot because of my chrons disease im sure you will be asked again . You did a great job and i had a great time now time to get this beast to the track and try bust out some real times.

I would love to see what it does with WOT. I noticed the pedal had a lot of freeplay, but I know every car is going to be a little different between the clutch, and gas pedal freeplay, that is why I like to make a "learning" pass, to see how the car feels as far as that stuff and other stuff goes. Should be better for sure. I am going to start a weight loss plan so if you need me next time I will be better prepared, haha. Thanks again and I will be happy to drive it again!
