FALL IMPORT SHOWDOWN 2009

[SPOOLIN]

...I think we'll be alright, it doesnt take long to dry a track especially with a little sun to help. The tracks are made to not hold standing water once it stops raining. They can dry the track manually and it takes like an hour. We are ready and already down here.

[LIKEG6]

I figured someone would be spendin the night out there. Lol

Hope to see everyone there tomorrow. I'll be there but won't be running. I'm retired til I'm boosted.

[JJSPEC Racing]

Yea im happy with it. I will have to explain everything tomororw.

Cool! Cant wait to see it in action.

Wish I had known. Maybe could have met up for dinner. Should be nice tomorrow. Track prep has been excellent this year at SDR.

It's looking good..

[JJSPEC Racing]

My out the window forecast shows sun with very few Cirrus clouds(not rain type). Come on down, about to get a shower and head out there.

[SPOOLIN]

look at the weather map now, it shows NOT SHIT. MWAHAHA

[LIKEG6]

We're on the way with about 15-20 cars from Columbus!!!

See everyone there!!

[-S Double C-]

event sucked imo not really enough impressive cars, spoolin's and a few others and that was it. What happend to your car at the end matt? looked like your may have toasted your motor. That black galant from CFT that beat clark in the showdown class was sick!

[JJSPEC Racing]

Had a really good time! I am glad to finally have a vehicle to compete in a class. Big props to DSM Wookie and the rest of the IS Crew. I think the weather might have scared a few people away but it was really nice, sun, a small tailwind and great track prep. I ended up with a pb of 11.5 @ 129 and was happy with that. Congrats to everyone who won and those who placed.

[DarKStaR]

I had fun even though I blew the headgasket on the 2nd pass and just got it done and tuned yesterday

[LIKEG6]

I had fun out there today. Wasn't the best IS I've been too mainly beecause of attendance but still cool people nonetheless.

I heard the announcer say it but can't remember the site where the pics will be at. Can someone let me know please?

[b_something]

It was nice to get out of the house, but other than that they event was pretty weak. I saw alot of nice cars that did not even run. Oh well, good times.

I was hoping Spoolin was going to show out, but had motor issues.

[redmanhart]

I had a good time even though I didn't get the times I was looking for lol.

Thanks for comming out everyone!! I think the weather did scare a good number of people away. I havent heard attendance numbers yet, but there in the 600 range. Spring had 800 and we were gunning for more, but recent weather really affected people this time around I think. It's of course comming back in the spring and we want way more people and more participation in the event. A lot of cash was given out and not even to the fastest car in each class won the event, so there really isnt an excuse to not run in one of the classes if your car qualifies

The pic's will be up at http://www.lifecapturedphotos.com/ as soon as they are downloaded and posted.

[BLK JDM]

Definitely some lower numbers of faster cars. I had a good time hanging out w/ friends. Got to see some of my friends improve their times and definitely gain some ground. It was a good event for trying to dial in or fine tune your car. All in all it was a great day to get out and hang out w/ friends.

[WalkS]

I had fun! The attendance was a little low. I'm Sun brunt like hell, but just had a good time hanging with friends.

[HYBRIDLS]

Had a good time and saw some nice cars. Glad to see that Joe from shingen took home the allmotor class even though there were only 2 entries, Also there were alot of bad drivers there, trying to stage at the 60ft or staging with their back tires...lol. Also what happend to SPOOLINS car, it looked like a steam engine on the starting line

[LIKEG6]

[vtecace23]

Yep, i actually broke the diff two weeks ago but i put another stock one back in there with new bearings and it seems to be holding up good. Broke an axle on the 2nd pass and didnt bring my spares but luckily spoolin had an extra i got from him which i really appreciated. I had alot of fun today and wasnt expecting a win. I need some sleep, i finished the car at 2 this morning so im beat. Thanks for everyones help today.

congrats on winning.

Yes my rings or a cylinder of rings are toast...I really pushed the limits on time with them anyways its been almost 2 years. I ran a 10.7 off the trailer with a 24psi pass and then i turned up the wick and it said no thanks at about 1000ft and it put 140mph up with an 11.0...so it was on a pass for sure up to that point LOL. Then in the Semi Final Round 3rd Gear said SEE YA!!!!!...and no i didnt miss the gear...it just fell apart right at the hit.

I'll have it ready for IFO at Commerce!!

Good to see that the MOD STREET class was full Field.

[Incontt]

post up some times...who did what?

Sweet, i still havent met you, maybe the next event when my coupe is done we will finally meet.

[h22 jones]

Jonathan i got all your runs recorded .My dad recorded them so just ride by and ill put them on a disk for you or email them to you if you want. The fee for car trailer rental and lensos rental is extremly high since you won just to let you know

[SPOOLIN]

i dont know about miles...maybe 70 runs.

I really need to put an hour meter on it. Thats more accurate for a race car.

[Formally...]

Fun event even with the low turnout. Bad day for the MSPi hondas though. I broke a diff about 30ft off the line first pass. James may have blown a headgasket. And like Spoolin said he stripped 3rd gear. Good thing for the storage room full of spare parts.
