Those of you who went back in July to Texas Motorplex with me to run on ATI Fast Fridays all remember how MISERABLE it was (80+ degrees, 80% humidity at 10pm). Well guess what! There's another Fast Fridays coming up on Friday October 13th! No, I'm not superstitious. :P But I'm planning on going and I'm calling out all of you that want 1/4 miles times in good weather. It's going to be perfect racing conditions. Come get your time slips and shut the naysayers up! Just like last time, I'll be meeting at the back of the Walmart parking lot in Ennis and then rolling to the track as a group from there (assuming anyone is going). Anyone from anywhere is welcome to go, of course.


Info Relevant from last time:
Racing fee is $15. READ THE TRACK RULES. It's not my fault if you forget to meet a requirement and can't race. FYI, long pants, short sleeves, and shoes are required. If you're running nitrous AND your bottle is in the cabin (i.e. not in the trunk or hatch), you HAVE to have a blowdown kit to be able to race. While I don't think any of the Scions meet the speed qualifications to require a helmet, I STRONGLY suggest you bring one to wear. Don't run out and buy one, but if you have one (even a motorcycle helmet) or know someone you can borrow one from, bring it. Better safe than shattered.

Last time, I was there from 8 pm until 11:45 and I got 11 runs in, and that was with me taking breaks. I'm sure it will be busier this time because of the cooler weather, but either way, you should get plenty of runs in.

( No excuses for getting lost! :-p )

We meet at 5:15, leave at 5:30 for the track, which is 7 miles west on 287. That should give stragglers/slackers enough time to find us. Look for the Flint Mica tC at the bottom of the Walmart parking lot. I'll be wearing a black TRD hat. Keep in mind that you will be driving in Friday traffic, so plan accordingly. Racing starts at 6.

Sent me a private message if you have any other questions or can think of something that needs to be added here.

i just might be done breaking in the S/C by then....

w00t! Get you some street time and come on out.
I'm looking to throw down with anyone else that's N/A.
What do you have besides the supercharger?

it would only be the stock s/c and trd exhaust. cause we need some stock auto s/c numbers and I'm not looking to go passed that for a good long while.

Awesome. I def. want to line up with you if you go...

cause you'll win :rofl:
i suck at drag from what i can tell.

Hell yeah, I've been wanting to go to the track.....I'm so down for this. hopefully I'll have everything installed by then. oh yeah im n/a btw

cause you'll win :rofl:
i suck at drag from what i can tell.

lol you got an automatic, right? how hard can it be? :P I was lanuching like CRAP last time I went.. I spun through first gear more times than not..
I REALLY want to race someone that has your setup, but in a manual tranny..

Bring it, eov... Last time was a BLAST.

yes i have an automatic. and last time i was at the 1/8th i spun like craxy. i did beat the one dealer loaner xB though :rofl:
i tried to go against another auto tC that was stock but we didn't line up at the same time and he left without me. :rofl:

i would say Jin would not, cause imma sabotage his tC when I do all that wiring he wants me to do and still get the wash/clay bar/wax job on my car. :twisted:

oh wait did i say that out loud, crap!
:rofl:

lolz awesome
Yeah launching was AWFUL at Ennis last time. I have to really pop the clutch to burn out like that wtih these Kumo's.. And I was just whistling though 1st. And one time, through most of second.. Blargh. But its all good. I'll launch flat. I can't wait to see what Jose runs on cool evening, what with how much he's spraying now.

Bump for more people to come.

*edited*
I just realized what I just did. I bumped a thread in a forum containing only 13 posts.
diot.

Crap....can't make a friday night cuz of work.

I want to come to the track to see what whe can do....

Hell, it runs till nearly midnight. Come out and make 2 passes. You'll be glad you did. :D

Um, black_mz3, buzz off.. this thread isnt about trd or superchargers or manufacturer problems. Its about people getting together to go race and to help people plan for the event. Take the crap somewhere else please.

why would you waste your money on the trd supercharger when

1. people have been getting shafted by trd
2. supercharged 4 cylinders are slow
3. you can get a turbo for same money and more power


Please keep things aligned with the first post. Thanks.

^^^, lol that's a good one! ^^^

pwn3d

But seriously. Who else is going? I wanna race someone with the stock TRD s/c setup and an exhaust. (That's a stick, LUPE..) :P Though I still wanna clean your clock, too. :D

^^ havent you been banned like 10 times already. Nightmares when you go smaller on the pulley, i dont think lupe is looking to do that, maybe im wrong.

Ill see if my boys want to roll out there, i wont be there becuase i have to work.

Tekisui, what (RPM) are you launchin at?

^^ havent you been banned like 10 times already.

don't you drive a slow altima?

d00d, didn't you get the memo? We're all out of junior high now. Lets act like it, huh?
Keep the thread on topic. Go start a thread in Forced Induction.


ANYWAY
I have to launch flat at Ennis, or at least I had to last time I went. Traction there is AWFUL. On the street though, like around 1700-1800. If I go much higher, I just burn through first. :P

nah i must have been the same place you were when you decided to use that retarded avatar.

anyway, you should probably let a little air out of your tires when you run. also, your kumho's are holding you back. they are an ok street tire but suck on a prepared track.

please keep this thread about the drag night, all other posts that are off-topic will be removed, if you wanna continue the supercharger off-shoot you can go here

http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1895685

thanks.

oh yea and play nice.

and yes kumho' s are an okay street tire but on the track they are poop, im an NA auto and i had no traction at first either.

Yeah the Kuhmo's are not great on the track, but I'm content with them on the street. As for letting air out, two words: reinforced sidewalls. Specifically, street tires dont have them (like slicks do). I had another genius I know tell me last time I went I should run at 15lbs. :P Yeah I can see THAT ending well. I'd drop them to like 25 maybe, but I don't have a pump to refill them for the drive home. It won't make THAT big a difference anyway, with a pressure change that small.

I'll tell you, though, I miss the hell out of my low-profile Yoko's... Discount Tire and NTB both quoted me $230 a piece for new ones.. *chokes, dies*

Bump Bump Bump
Who else is going?
We need more s/c tC's to go so I can race 'em :D

Also, thanks mods :bow: :bow: :bow:

please keep all post on topic about the drag night, all other posts WILL be removed.

Bizzump.. Two weeks! I'm fired up. The weather's been BEAUTIFUL and the racin's gonna be excellent.

I'm ready for this!

I just got in from being out, driving around. I can FEEL the difference in how the car responds in the cooler evenings. If this weather holds consistant for the next two weeks, I'm gonna pretty pleased with my times.. :D

So is this thing still on? If so, who all is going?

well my charger guy has disappeared so i am having to restart that endeavour so to speak. dont think i will be able to get there after all
:tap: im so annoyed....

What do you mean your charger guy disappeared? What happened?

thats just it i have no idea after the first 2 calls i could no longer get ahold of him.

imma try and go to the original guy who implemented the scikotics discount who works for the lexus dept now instead

Choke a foo'! Slap them into shape!

Anyway, I'm still going. I took the day off and I think I'm going to go get dyno'd at SimpleQuick Racing earlier in the day.. (I don't trust the dyno results from Intercrap *ahem* I mean Intercrew)
I'll be at Walmart in Ennis at 5:15.. Leaving for the track at 5:30 so we have time to check in before racing starts at 6. w00t!

Bump (Such as it needs)
Anyone else going?

You all suck.
15.1 N/A, launching flat at idle
None of the N/A 4cyl's would play with me :(

hey i dont suck i just have bad luck.

You have a valid excuse. The rest of you suck.
:D

:lol:
