I can honestly say i have never been to a event were the when i got out the truck a sponsor was giving me a free t shirt i realy appreciated it and i figured the least i could do is wear it to help advertise so i put it on right then lol. It actualy fit realy good

you gonna come out to the mce event this coming Saturday the 20th? We would love to see some import muscle out there!

[h22 jones]

Next year if you can send me and probably jj im sure will do it if he isnt already a bunch of flyers before hand ill be glad to get them out and try to help out with making the crowd larger . I beat ive had 100 people call me wondering when it was or call today wondering were i was saying they new nothing about it. There are a tone of people that love to race hondas that dont get on importatlanta . i realy love this event and would like to help it grow how ever i can. 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. I realy dont do alot of advertising if any on the performance side of my buisness being that i stay about as busy as i can stand most of the time but id like to support this event.

[94ej2]

Had a good time yesterday, even though my car got alots of problem. Congrats to all winner.

[jody754]

Great day guys good event.sure was nice takin home cash in my second event ever. even though i waited for a whole minute on that stupid RX7 to stage in the semi's. my tires were prob cold by the time we launched but it was good havin MSSRACING in the finals wee been workin hard to get to the track! see you guys next year hopefully with some 9's!

[B18c1Turboed]

Good event. I was actually suprised by the turnout. Usally the Fall events are not as big. I was pissed i couldnt race,i actually went home and started too work on the car after the event..
Hopefully in the spring we will have 4 cars out racing.

[DarKStaR]

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.

[thundercatz1]

you gonna come out to the mce event this coming Saturday the 20th? We would love to see some import muscle out there!

mce came around fast...... I might make an appearance.

Great event yesterday

[josh green]

Darkstar, that 11.1 was very impressive on the 22's. You seem to be about a whole second faster than last isd?

No problem man. I apprecite you wearing it to rep up more than anything it means a lot bro. Ill hit you up on those rims as well lol and congratulations on your win

[Axix23]

anybody get major wheel hop off the launch? I head to lay off the throttle b.c. of this.. I am trying to figure out why I had bad wheel hop in 1st/2nd even with slicks b/c I never had this kind of issues at commerce before. Ran same psi in slicks and everything.. 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..

[h22 jones]

I wanted to buy my wife a shirt to and my son but didnt know who i got mine from . I just had so much on my mind when you handed me the shirt i didnt realize you were the same guy with the wheels till now lol damn i was walking around looking for somebody that i had been talking to all day thats messed up .

[DarKStaR]

Darkstar, that 11.1 was very impressive on the 22's. You seem to be about a whole second faster than last isd?

Thanks man, last isd i had just got the car done and was still trying to learn it so it went a best of 11.7, but now with a little more power and the fact that ive learned the car a little bit my times have came down. I was very surprised at my times lol. If you got any vids of my car would you mind sending them to me? I forgot to even break my camera out until the last run lol!

[SPOOLIN]

anyone get any vids of my runs? or the final?

i know we got a few vids but just wondering.

[h22 jones]

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]

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.

[h22 jones]

i would also like video of the car so i cans how jimmy how bad it was spinning off the line even after we dropped tp ten pounds .

[SPOOLIN]

if you wheel hop on the track, its never the track. IF shit can't move, then it wont rattle. Preloaded traction bars go a long way.

[112480]

Looks like we going to be racing each other and around each other alot.

Lets see if we can change that by IFO in March

[h22 jones]

which part of that statement would you like to change ?

[h22 jones]

i see you hope your car will be running by then so you will be in the finals i get it well i hope it runs good because my other car will be done by then also then we can retire the dd to just picking up grocerys and i guess a back up just in case lol.

[Axix23]

i was running about 17 psi.. I have ran 19-22 psi at Commerce and have had no wheel hop... I wasn't trying to grab too much, so didn't lower it anymore..

Here is my vids including SPOOLIN'

Lower the psi even more to reduce wheel hop? lower the launch limiter rpms? less throttle offline?

[112480]

LOL! Not hope, IT WILL be ready by then. Actually it will be ready in a week or two. To bad we cant fast forward time. LOL. Can i do the all motoor class and forced induction?

[11248c]

mike(h22jones) its me(112480) some damn lame banned me for "trying to sell without paying" but this is me also. And the funny thing is, i set no price at all AND it was a week or so ago at that, but anyway, do you think i can do both classes at IFO??

[h22 jones]

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.

[h22 jones]

next time pm me that its you are there just going to keep banning you lol

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.

mmmm..... i'll have to take my chances with the nitrous stuff under the hood. And i'll see which one i want to enter in. IF both can be done, then so be it. Not worried about another cry babies antic and smart ass comments. I JUST WANT TO RACE

i have full innovation mounts man... Like I said, trying to see why I am wheel hopping now and not back in july at commerce. Nothing has changed.

[MidLifeCrisis]

You havent changed anythign on the car, that dosent mean something hasn't worn out or come apart. There was a great turnout this time around, didn't realize turbo kits were the new APC windshield banner.

[gastroker]

anyone got pics or vids posted yet?

[jnv255]

To bad I broke an axle... Ohh well

[h22 jones]

I broke one last year thats racing.

[dsmwookie]
