there was a guy on here, ScionDAD, who was one of the 1st to turbo his auto tC. One of the mods he was planning for the tC was a Camry 5spd swap because the 4spds wasnt enough. He fell off the face of the earth though...

Is the camry 5speed an A/T

yup, Camry auto's come in a 5spd. My mom has one and I love how when it hits 65mph, it shifts up into 5th instead of like the tC that just climbs the RPM's higher and higher...

So, tommorrow is still on right? Is anyone meeting up before the track?

Let me know! I get out of work at 5, and I'm 15 mins from the track so I don't want to have to go home then all the way back!

09-28-2006, 07:38 PM
I wouldn't mind meeting up with someone, but I'll be coming from 495. It would be a waste for me to meet anyone at clair. It's just too far in the wrong dirrection.

09-28-2006, 09:13 PM
I'm hoping to be at the track about 4:30-5:00

I'm sorry to say I don't think i'm going to make it. My wifes grandmother has become very ill and the doctors don't expect her to make it through the night. There will be other guys coming with their Focuses, i'm just not going to be able to make it personaly. I apologize since I was the one who started this whole thing and if she makes a turn for the better I will be there ,but thing just don't llok good right now.Once again i'm sorry and I hope we can do this again before the season is over. Thanks for being respectful about this "challenge" and I hope to be able to meet you guys in the future. Good luck tomorrow.

that was a good night guys... It was nice meeting some of you.. Wish i could have gotten some better times but i wasnt able to control my traction problem.. .. my best was 13.74 @104.52 i guess ill see you again at exposed...

Lil_Deuce_tCoupe
09-30-2006, 04:55 AM
Traction wasn't a problem for me - being completely stock with an auto was though, best of only 16.69 @ 81.73 - YIKES!!! I did bang the tree on that run though, .525 reaction time - so I was quick, to go slow.....I guess.
Hey, it was fun, and nice to finally meet all that showed up. :clap:

vaccaro
09-30-2006, 04:55 AM
haha.. yeah apparently i feel asleep at the wheel.. I thought i was racing the red car next to me.. SO i wated for him.. then i found out i was racing the trans am.. then i go through the VHT box.. burn out.. get to the tree.. two yellow lights.. then i roll forward to far. try to put it in reverse.. and the light turns green.. i was like !@#$%^& o noooo!!.. so reaction time was 1.023.. or something horrible like that.. that was my only run.. o an another thing.. u know how u guys where saying burn out by dumping the clutch well. i did.. i am sure u guys saw a little smoke.. what happened was i heard the usual grunting noise the ebreak makes in the back.. as you try and do a burn out from a stnad still. and i guess they were smoking.. and i usually can feel them spin.. but i have new tires on and i thought they were not spining so i said screw it.. 2 seconds later i see smoke.. i was like damn.. should have kept going.. but i guess it was good enough,, , i slammed 1st gear.. and zeron wheel hop a first.. and non in second.. so that was good.. so for ____ty reaction time .. i got a 16.2@88 mph... the intresting thing about that.. i have had a 16.1@84 MPH.. i am not sure why my MPH was faster this time around.. if i didnt have to work tonight i would have made more runs.. only one.. i am deffinately going back up there this coming Wed. night.

vaccaro
09-30-2006, 04:58 AM
hehe.. davedave it would have been close.. good new is 2 weeks from now i should have a full custom exhaust on my car.. stay tunned for updates.. and o yeah dashon.. we can finally install ur boost gauge.. i know how tonight.. i confirmed with some one else.. actually if u can lets do this today.. i will even wire it for u..

Yaaaaa baby! Good thing you didn't catch my run against the 10 second Chevelle - oh wait, here's a photo of my face when he launched - :shock:

CapeCodBlitzBlue
09-30-2006, 01:08 PM
Chevelle? Damn, My 1st run was against "Tantrum". He was have way down the track and I was shifting into 2nd. Had a great time last night, until the trip home. Became a pretty expensive night.

There were 5 of us all together.

What happened to the NH and Boston people? Some of us drove for 4 hours to get there. Traffic was a b!tch.

vaccaro

Poll anyone? Who would go back sometime next week? We had perfect track conditions except for the part where they had to keep cleaing it. Reason unknown.. Sorry i could not stay my g.f. had to be back early. How ever i plan to go back up on Wed. night. You all are welcome to join me. May i make a suggestions any of you guys or gals boosting with boost controllers take a ride over to the fuel shack grab some 103 octane fuel and turn that boost up. You will be running safe faster 1/4 miles than before. Hey steve.. Remember that kid with the mustang that was talking to us. Thats where i buy my performance parts from. You guys if you can come down to the shop or call. They can have parts for you usually in all cercumstances in 2-3days. I have never had a problem with them. If anything they have been the best and easiest place to work with. They are called South Shore High Performance. Mo is the owner. Tell him jeff with the the scion Tc told you to come on down. so here is the number. If you have any questions or you can not make it down i can always call them for you. Just PM me with what your looking for and i will call them or go down there. They are 20 Minutes from my house. **1-508-580-4100** address.

What was everyone's best time? I'm sorry I didn't make it. I was on my way there but when I got to NH, I got lost. I tried to call some people but I didn't have a signal and guess what. My phone F@$%ing died on me. Does anyone have an extra sprint phone that they don't want. My phone doesn't even recharge properly. Friday night/saturday morning around 230 am. I saw a Black Sand Pearl or Flint Mica tC spinned out on the grass on 93 north around exit 6. I tried to stop and see if I know the person but the state police didn't let me. Does anyone who spinned out that night. I know there is alot of people with those colors in the state of mass but there is a chance we might now them.

CapeCodBlitzBlue
10-04-2006, 05:35 PM
That 1st run was against "Tantrum", a professional, high budget, chopped 57 Chevy, with a huge full blown big block.

The light changed, I punched it, I heard this explosion of sound and a roar in the other lane, and a second later he was half way down the track. Ask Tom, he saw the car. big money there, and I really think he was holding back on the run I did against him.

I could have gotten out and walked faster.
I think I remember an old lady with a walker passing me. I saw her time as she crossed the line.....32 days 4 hours 16 minutes 22 seconds.
I picked up my slip, and it said..."merry christmas"

ok guys... all you stock or mildly modded tc... i think you guys got good times.. if you can get what car and driver magazine say the car can do.. It means that you drive as good as the people who work for a car magazine. So from me to you guys good job... but you have to understand the limitations to you car and the mods that you make to it... ... i feel that i am really lucky to have a f/i tc.. cause the car is so much fun... but i love my car just like everyone here and if it was completely stock i would be pround of my times cause i made them in a car that i like and that i own... fact of the matter is people that get paid to race cars cause thats what they do... and to compare yourself to them is wrong... they have the gift to drive.. and we have the gift to drive a nice car... thats what it is... so like me i hope everyone has fun driving there tc,xb,and xa ... and the rush of going down the 1320... hoping for a better time then last.. thats is what makes us happy and thats why we all get along... we are car nuts, tuners, or whatever you want to call us.. but in the end we just love our cars and others have to deal with it.

thank you

Any chance you guys will do this again before the track closes for the season?

I don't post much and haven't made it to any meets yet. Was/am big on the Subaru forums (all 3 former cars were Subarus). Would like to start meeting some Scion people, and it would be fun to run the car a bit at the track with others.

I've only autoxed it so far, will be doing high performance driver education event at NHIS on Oct 21st which should be real cool. If I get some 1/4 runs in, all event types will be complete before the snow tires go on. Then we head to the frozen lakes. :)

Well,
According to the schedue online they show the last "street night" as Oct. 27th (friday), and they have open test sessions both Sat Oct. 28th and 29th. They don't have any dates in November on the schedule, so that might be the last weekend the track is open.

I might be able to do something that weekend, but I'm not 100% sure.
