[4dmin]

I'm assuming this means closest to the time, lets say 13 sec, without going over?

yes sir... you run a 13.01 and no one else runs that or a 13.0 you win....

[rollininstyle2004]

[carbongs]

[rollininstyle2004]

Thanks :goodjob:

[the big slizzard]

Paul i was just going to call you but ill just post it here. Can we just register for the "show"? I dont care to race and dyno.

Also, on the site there is no place to pre register...do i need to do that?..thanks.

[Julio]

no preregistration. 30 bucks is for everything even though your not going to compete in the other categories.

[the big slizzard]

ok cool.

[mp5o]

Anyone know whats required in order to pass tech inspection?

[The Ren]

battery tie down...all lug nuts on wheels..no chord showing on tires.. thats he main things

[mp5o]

battery tie down...all lug nuts on wheels..no chord showing on tires.. thats he main things

What if my windows wont roll down? Thats really the only thing I'm worried about.

[The Ren]

thats fine.. they gatta be rolled up to race

[joedrifter]

So is the dirfting actually going to be open to run? Or is it just an exhibithion?

[carbongs]

can't wait

[drmcivicsi]

ill be there with ct9a gsr and a few other peolpe

[4dmin]

^ cool see you guys there

[BTEC]

AHHHH DAMN. MY CAR MIGHT BE FINISHED IN TIME!! MINUS A FEW LITTLE NICK NACS.

[MR. 200SX]

I say for the drag racing they should only let 250WHP+ cars race. Too much waste of time if we have 15-16 sec cars in the line. Spectators want action!

[Fr33way]

It's probably not a waste of time for those paying to enter.

[N/A EK]

I'll be there w. a few friend's.

[4dmin]

I say for the drag racing they should only let 250WHP+ cars race. Too much waste of time if we have 15-16 sec cars in the line. Spectators want action!

most people going to drag will be those you would see on a friday night at the track, so i think it will be good... besides its a great time to get in a crap load of runs

[BTEC]

i say 350+

[drmcivicsi]

i say 450+ :D

lol



Should be fun.. I will try to get in a few runs once everything is settled and shit.

[LIKEG6]

anyone know what time the drags will begin cause i don't get off til 5 and don't wanna miss everything

[MR. 200SX]

Should be fun and expecting a great time :) . I say as long as the line moves and hopefully no one breaks anything it should be good.

[4dmin]

anyone know what time the drags will begin cause i don't get off til 5 and don't wanna miss everything

strip is running from 3-close (10pm)

[4dmin]

I TALKED TO THE TRACK YESTERDAY WE PLAN ON OPENING DOORS AT 2PM SO WE PEOPLE CAN GET THROUGH TECH STAGED AND 3PM WE ARE LETTING EVERYTHING LOOSE!!! SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SIT IN LONG LINES I SUGGEST YOU GET IN EARLY SO YOU CAN GET IN THE DYNO LINE OR GET IN THE STAGING LANES.

(WE MAY OPEN EARLIER IF WE HAVE EVERYTHING SET TO GO)

[N/A EK]

Why do they close so early(10pm)?

[4dmin]

^ well it may run later i'm not sure.. i know our event is over at 10pm... normally i know friday nights track opens at like 6 and we are opening at 2 so that is quite a bit earlier :goodjob:

the track may run later if slammed, so everyone can get their moneys worth

[Stormhammer]

guess I better stop that huge ass oil cooler lines leak that I've been having :D granted I dont think I'll be doing much of anything :(

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

I'll be there with some friends.

[carbongs]

is everyone prepared for the rain? i am hoping the storm system waits off till that night or sunday morning

[HiPSI]

So is the dirfting actually going to be open to run? Or is it just an exhibithion?


exhibitions only.

[carbongs]

good stuff.

[Minze]

does anyone know the actual time he will be drifting? or will it just be all day?

[CHADbee]

i don't think 1/4 mile motorsports will be there. but project motorsports will be there for sure! add us to the list yo!

[SpooL'DGsR]

chad how bout a friendly run @ tunerfest??

[CHADbee]

chad how bout a friendly run @ tunerfest??

[Siverprobegt]

U love running those srt-4 huh!!!!:burnout:

[Fr33way]

chad how bout a friendly run @ tunerfest??

Looking forward to seeing you all out there, did you run that 14.1 not too long ago? I should be with 4-5 Maxima guys don't hesitate to say what's up.

[KevinT707]

I'm really praying that the weather will be great Sat! Even though the gay forecast doesn't wanna admit it. Anyone have more insight on the weather for Sat ?

[Flip]

I'll be there... Wana get a couple runs in on the strip and possibly a dyno... I'd be willing to bet the dyno lines will be WAY too long tho...

[N/A EK]

I'm really praying that the weather will be great Sat! Even though the gay forecast doesn't wanna admit it. Anyone have more insight on the weather for Sat ?

:stupid:

[4dmin]

IT DOES LOOK LIKE THERE MAY BE SOME RAIN... IT STILL SAYS SCATTERED BUT WE WILL STILL BE THERE UNLESS ITS A COMPLETE WASH OUT!!! MAKE SURE YOU CALL THE TRACK FIRST BEFORE DECIDING NOT TO GO... I KNOW LAST YEAR IT WAS CLEAR IN ATLANTA BUT STORMING AT THE TRACK, MAYBE WE CAN GET SPARED LONG ENOUGH TO ENJOY THE EVENT THIS YEAR :D

[Jehu]

Looking forward to seeing you all out there, did you run that 14.1 not too long ago? I should be with 4-5 Maxima guys don't hesitate to say what's up.
I'm hoping to be there (funds dependent at this point). If I go, I'll keep an eye out and keep an eye out for me for that intake part! ;)

[LaneKeenan47]

Will dyno be AWD? Maybe i'll run my audi so I can see what kinda gains the PES kit is gonna give me.

[CHADbee]

Looking forward to seeing you all out there, did you run that 14.1 not too long ago? I should be with 4-5 Maxima guys don't hesitate to say what's up.
yeah that was stock @ importshowdown. i better hit a 13.8 or i'll be pissed(AKA spend more money)

[Kamikaze]

I really hope it doesn't rain. It's an 85 mile drive from here.

[The BUCKY]

can i run the bike

[Minze]

it had better not fucking rain cuz it was a bitch to get saturday night off at work.

[Five*Star*]

Plan on going up with Thomas (AutoFAB) in the morning, but will need an earlier ride home around 9-10pm so that my son is not out too late.

Somebody hit me up if they can drop me (and my son) off at L'ville Suwanee Rd. on their way back down I-85 around 9-10pm. (404) 452-7691 Michael

Sould be worth it, even if it does break rain a little bit!

[Z32redondo]

I' will be there and its a damn 4 hour drive too. I still need to finish installing the new system and but all my shit back together.

[KevinT707]

Anyone that uses the excuse of rain is gay, be there & support Import Atlanta!

[T-Mo Goodie]

I really hope it doesn't rain. It's an 85 mile drive from here.

If you live in East Point (as your title states) then you are only about 45 minutes away. I used to live out there. You just come straight up 85N

[The Ren]

Some fun times to be had today!

[SL33P3R]

Im in Panama City, FL right now.


Count me in

Ill be there

-Taylor

[Five*Star*]

BRING YOUR RAINCOATS KIDS!! tehe!!

For real though, two storms should be rolling through after 3pm, so hopefully they stay as small as they look on radar right now.

[SLow_POke]

-Ernie

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

http://image.weather.com/web/radar/us_atl_closeradar_medium_usen.jpg

...or at least wait until it passes. :D

[OvErMiNd]

Will the dyno still be open if it rains?

[SL33P3R]

Just got back from FL, on the way home we went thru 2 small storms, Im not sure if they are coming this way, but they werent nothing. Im leavin now

-Taylor

[Jehu]

Decent turnout and the rain wasn't that bad. Was actually nice to me because it dropped the temp big time and gave us a nice breeze. Just wish we could have kept racing though!

Oh, and there is something up with that Dyno jet...

[KevinT707]

Yea it was fun while it lasted. Well, except that Commerce track always seems to hurt my feelings. It makes me feel like my car is slow and/or I've gotten worst at driving :(.

-On a side note though, who were those 3 asian girls that always walked w/ each other, I only saw them for the first few hours. Were pretty cute from what I saw :). Anyone know who I'm talking about ?

[Leisa]

great show!

[Fr33way]

Held out just long enough! What kind of 60' was everyone seeing? Who got that R/T prize (and the others)? Altima guys were running quick!

It seemed like people were having trouble adjusting to the track but I had a blast, thanks to everyone who put this together.

[SpoolBus]

My best on the DR's was a 12.6 and I won the closet to 13.0 (on accident) with a 13.038..(gots my $100 though ;) )
Oh and Kevin those where 12 yr old Asian boys..damn you..watch out for Dateline there gonna get you :camera:

[LaneKeenan47]

I was just out there to get my stock time so I can see how much it drops after I install the PES G2 supercharger kit. MY best was like a 17.23 @80.7, but hey thats not bad with a 4500 pound car with only 220 hp. I still beat an accord or two haha.

[Allstar3.8T]

Show results, I heard something...wanna see if its true.

[quickdodge®]

I'd like to see, also. From what I've read, The Ren won something in her Supra. Later, QD.

[Twinnos]

Show results, I heard something...wanna see if its true.
that the AAP Motorsports Honda Civic beat Tim West's civic for best of show? yeah, its true.

[atlrolla19]

I think the bagged tahoe should i have won best of show

[EvasiveEF9]

If you're talking about the one with 4 12's in the back, sitting on the ground with fake disc brakes...

You know sound sensations did all the work, sold the car, and that dude bought it like that, right?

[EvasiveEF9]

R/T I think went to a girl named Brittany (I think her name on here is Britto) I don't know what her time was, but she mentioned she won like 250$ for it. We were on the phone, though, and I was in front of the tractor-trailer bed...er...stage...when the girl in bikini's were first going up, so I didn't pay much attention. :boobies: She drives a black 94(?) lude. She did one run, and shut the car down and left it in the grassy parking area. After the run she said she heard rod-knock and assumes a spun bearing. She stayed up there last, so she may post tonight about it. Poor girl JUST got her car back from six months in the shop (swapped)

As for the dyno, I heard a few people saying it was reading lower than norm.

Congrats to all winners, hope to see you at the next show. My car's not show worthy, but it'll probably be in the show anyways.

I saw the chicks you were referring to. The nicest on was wearing some short orange shorts with a halter top like thingy with a hood on it. I damn near put my finger down her crack

[Vteckidd]

there was a car show? lol

Turbo Dave, Me, SilviDRFTR , Big Baller got there at like 6pm with the 240sx after staying up for 3 days with no sleep. we hung out till 9pm then went to hooters. Saw some nice cars

[EvasiveEF9]

Hey, nice work on that BMW...the guy handled it pretty well, but you can tell the car is meant to stick to the pavement and not slide. Nice work, though, and great driving. :goodjob:

[ctzfinest18]

great turn outtt didnt get to run as much as i wanted to damn rain anybody kno whens the next one? lol shit was hard thanks to everyone who put that one down

[JASONBALL]

Well next year for tunerfest shootout. but there is another drifty fury event in November. that one is be the season ending event for the series. which I hope they bring the series back next year.

[PawnShopCEO]

sounds like i should be happy with my decision to no-show

[brittoknee]

LMAO... yes I somehow won best reaction time. It was .502..... My car ran fine on the mobile dyno- which read about 40hp lower than the 219whp/167ft lb tq it ran Friday at Balanced Performance... then I took it down the track ONCE... and spun a rod bearing. There was a very slight knock... and very veryyyyyyy fine metal shavings... let's just say there was a slight silver tint to the oil in direct light. So yes... the day after I got the lude running I spun a bearing! Yesterday was pretty horrible... but finding out I won best R/T was pretty sweet! Another guy actually had the exact same time so we had to split the original $500 payout. We both got $250. Check www.atlantadragway.com for the story and photos in the next few days.... LOL.

My luck is just amazing. eh.. but the rod bearing isn't actually too bad... The lude should be up and running again next week. Considering the motor had less than 5 miles on it prior to dynoing as well as it being 112 degrees in the shop.... Ed and I think it will easily see 230whp on a cooler day after break in period...

[CHADbee]

thats good to hear britt, i felt so damn bad thinking it was gonna be down another 6 months or so. if u need anything just call.

[EvasiveEF9]

Britt, you never texted back. What's up!

Yeah, she told me six months, too. I was gonna be pissed, and make her do it sooner. :taun:

I think they said you tied with a dude because they couldn't admit a girl beat the guys in R/T. Conrats though! When we chillin' again? That everclear caught me off gaurd last time...

[brittoknee]

lol... I DID text you back! I dunno whats up with my phone... but only some of my texts are actually going through. weird.... but ya we should chill sometime! you lightweight!

They said that other guy tied my .502 R/T and that we had to split the money... I was soooooo close to winning 500 bucks! But hey I'm not complainin...

[EvasiveEF9]

I'm not soo worried about ME not getting the text as much as I am YOU getting it. Cuz I lost contact with you when I got distracted... :boobies: I just wish they'd been more impressive. But, oh well. My girlfriend wouldn't approve anyways. :D

I'm only a lightweight cuz I've been busted for drinking twice...and I"m sick of the cops. So I've just lost the desire to drink all the time, and because of that...it doesn't take much. I'm happy with it though. Now it only takes four beers to make me feel good instead of 12, or 3-4 shots instead of 8-12. I'm cheap what can I say. But it was great seeing you out there again.

Maybe that 250$ can go into some bearings...what bearings were you using anyways? Might wanna allow for more break-in time next time. :doh:

[Julio]

Congrats on the reaction time win. =]

My best R/T was a .212, haha to bad I wasn't/couldn't compete

[bjaccord]

I was just out there to get my stock time so I can see how much it drops after I install the PES G2 supercharger kit. MY best was like a 17.23 @80.7, but hey thats not bad with a 4500 pound car with only 220 hp. I still beat an accord or two haha.

You must not have raced me in my accord then?

I won the closest to 14.00 with some of the slowest runs I've put down in like 3 years. Oh well, worth the $100.00 to be slow I guess.

Had a good time, wish I could have met some of you as I'm new to the area. L8r

[Fr33way]

My best on the DR's was a 12.6 and I won the closet to 13.0 (on accident) with a 13.038..(gots my $100 though ;) )
Oh and Kevin those where 12 yr old Asian boys..damn you..watch out for Dateline there gonna get you :camera:

I think we lined up a few times, what PSI were you running in the DR's?

[BLk92DA]

-On a side note though, who were those 3 asian girls that always walked w/ each other, I only saw them for the first few hours. Were pretty cute from what I saw :). Anyone know who I'm talking about ?

and didnt vuong hook up the nitrous in for u the pervious day and plus, ur running on slicks?? LOL

stock ls w/ minor boltons in a 2560.lbs car vs. mildly built ls/vtec in a 2205.lbs car ;)

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

I had fun, even though I was attacked by some woman begging to see my belly! ;)

[BTEC]

[BTEC]

yea yea yea couldn't say hey cuz u were too busy runnin the entire time how dare u!
well i did wrk all last week trying to get car fininshed. i wasnt gonna just race 2 or 3 times and thats it especially when car wasnt running to full potential. if it was running good and i knew it ran as fast as i could get it to go for the day i wouldve said fuggit and walked around for a while.

all i want is to get into the 12's b4 i turn the boost up. i burned another chip yesterday and it running better (12.5 a/f). i got a few little bugs to smooth out and ill be ready for the track again. :burnout:

i wonder if the 2 broke exhaust manifold studs had ne thing to do with my lean a/f reading. :thinking:
exhaust leaks owned me.

[SpoolBus]

I think we lined up a few times, what PSI were you running in the DR's?

8...its the only way to slightly hook up..

[Fr33way]

^^^ LOLz those things were flat! Very nice ride BTW.

What kind of times do you run elsewhere? I watched you crack into the 12's before sunset.

[brittoknee]

Congrats on the reaction time win. =]

[Stormhammer]

[KevinT707]

I'm determined to find out who they are >> who were those 3 asian girls that always walked w/ each other, I only saw them for the first few hours. Were pretty cute from what I saw . Anyone know who I'm talking about ?

Hey thanks...my best time was a 12.6@114
Everywhere else I run worse...but this was my 1st time running with Trac Tech 118 leaded...big difference :D

I was trying to find a pic of my car with the hood open.. no one has one.. and my idiot self didnt bring my camera..

It was fun, just wished they ran the track part better (Commerce folks). I only got to run once. Why do they shut down the lanes that are full of people while the drifting was going on? That is my only complaint really. It would of been better for me had I gotten a few more runs in. Next time I guess.

Jaime, my guess on the track shutting down is that I think that track runs by...what organization is it, NHRA regulations (I think) and they're rules say that drag racing is 100% traction...when it's wet, you can't get your full potential and so therefore it's unsafe. Basically, when water touches the track, they shut it down (except the burnout area). Just like they have that rule that there MUST be an ambulance present at all times during runs. Drifting, however, doesn't follow those rules. They've got their own set. That, and the whole point is to make your car slide while drifting...

Also, I can't blame them. "TunerFest" is bound to pull in some younger and/or unexperienced drivers that a normal night of drag wouldn't. I'd prefer them to shut down the track then see cars getting away from the unexperienced crowd.

^^^ You're right, except I was fussing about them shutting down the track when it WASN'T raining.

We had 3-4 lanes full, almost to the back of cars, and they just stopped running. Noone broke down or rain, just stopped while the drift demo was on. When that got over, they started running the cars again.

I understand the young bucks and that people need breaks and stuff, but knowing that the rain WAS coming.....IMO they should have left it open as long as possible. Most of us decided not to run during the 150 deg temps, as that's a worthless cause. When the cars finally cooled down enough from the ride up there to run, they shut down the track after no time.

It's all moot really, as I wasn't going to set any world records or anything. I just would've liked to have gotten more than 1 measly run in all day. I know some people were hot lapping, but on a day that hot it's not worth it to do that unless you're just doing it for practice or something.

[Nemesis]

Hey Jaime , I asked the same question because it confused me as to why they would do that and someone had mentioned it was a short staff EMT issue.


But that makes me wonder...there was a point when there was drifting and racing going on at the same time.


So honestly, it was maybe a decision made by someone to bring more attention to the drift demo.

[Jehu]

unless you're just doing it for practice or something.Practice does help a lot though. I got in like 5 runs I think (not that much more) and dropped my time 2 tenths in those 5 alone.

But yeah, I am right there with you on the being able to get more runs. I know I could have gotten better times with a bit more practice...if anything I need to practice my launch better to better my 2.3 60' times.

[EvasiveEF9]

Oh, yeah, I know what your'e saying, Jaime. My car wasn't there so I didn't do any drag (or dyno, or show, or...anything), and because of that, I didn't spend too much time at the drag area. But I do know when you're talking about, now.

I suppose it's because they only had one EMT there (as stated, EMT staff shortage) then. But when did they have drag and drift at the same time? I think it was when the viper was running...wasn't it?

Maybe there's a rule that states in one specified area if more than one car is running at a time, EMT is required. Because if only one car is going it's not considered "racing". My dad was telling me back in his days of drag racing his bike, him and a buddy found this backroad to run on all day long, and cops would even come just to watch. Their rule was so long as only one engine is running at a time, it's not considered a race, and therefore we won't ticket you

perhaps the track has some rule along those lines...maybe?

Just a guess.

negative sir. we were initially told that we could only slide when the EMT's were over by us... i think they eventually figured that it was a problem and just let us go out when sam was doing the ridealongs.
