Next SO CAL race day?
Hey Sky or other So Cal stangs - when's the next day at the races? Every thing's swapped over from the '86 and I've still got all my fingers http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif I've got a MSD-6AL still to put in, but I'm ready. The '93 is bright red so I'm sure I'll get a couple races now that the exhaust actually has some rumble to it. Probably some attention from the cops too.
------------------ 93 GT, CCM long block, GT40P heads, Crane 2031, 1.7 RR's, Moroso cold air, Cobra intake, 65mm TB, 73mm Vortech, 24# injectors, MAC GT40P headers, 2-1/2" BBK H-pipe (w/cats), 3.55s, B&M Ripper shifter, Black Magic fan |
As soon as everyone wants to head out to bakersfield I want to go. I'll finish the NOS as soon as were ready to go. Just give me a date and a time. I'll be there.

Lets go THIS SATURDAY! Got the clutch in, put a stock MAF in and its ready to go. Whats the elevation at Bakersfield. I heard that they are REALLY cleaning up Carlsbad so we can get some traction now.

scratch that, I just talked to my friend who was at Carlsbad last sat. He said that his friends 347 Fox with drag suspension on radials was only hitting low 13's @ 120mph! His 60ft was a shitty 2.6!
Lets go to Bakersfield. |
I am in!!! Saturday it is. **** I've got a lot of work to do. I better get my *** in gear. Well it is only monday but still...
My best 60' w/ my drag suspension and radials at carlsbad was a 2.56. So thats about right! Sky ------------------ -1989 Saleen Mustang #406- TFS Heads, E-303, edelbrock intake,70MM TB, 73mm MAF, off road H, headers and 3chamber flows. 12.55@107mph 50-175 Nitrous Works WET Kit just added. |
Me too! This time I'm not racing anyone Friday night. Where do you guys want to hook up?
|
OK! Now Im fuckinstoked! I have NO idea how to get to the Bakersfield track. In fact I dont think I've ever been to bakersfield cnty. Can someone give me directions. If Bakersfield hooks up anything CLOSE to what Pomona did, Im gonna pull some decent times. My best 60ft at Carlsbad was a 2.2 on Nitto D.R.'s. My car isnt detonating anymore either. I think I'm going to bring my Vortec housing, and make a pass w my stock MAF, then make one with the Vortec and see if it makes a difference. It was the Vortec MAF that was making my car run poorly before. Now I'll know for sure.

Has anyone checked to see if it's open Saturday? Are we talking Famoso or Bakersfield? Is there a website?

that should have the schedule! it's easy to find! the traction is descent but this time of year it is humid there(my best 60ft was 2.15 bfg street tires). they mostly run us street guys on the friday high school grudge match nights but you can also go on the sat, but it'll be real hot in the day http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif. they open at 6pm-11pm fri. but they don't start racing until 7:15-7:30. it takes 2hours and 15min to get there at 70mph. so you could leave at 5-530, and still get plenty of racing. i had 5 runs the last time. it's in alot better shape than carlsbad!! leon ------------------ 96 stang,ported 99 heads, 99 intake, 99 cams,Steeda power pullies,Kirban adj.reg.,Pro-m 87,24#inj.,70mm t/b,BBK longtube headers,Bassani x-pipe w/cats, Dynomax ultraflow catback,iat mod, home depot ram air, k@n,373's,cobra brakes,fms spings, tri-ax shifter. best et 13.80 best mph 103.3 bfg street tires,bakersfield, ca |

I was just reading what they had on their website.
|
Just take the slicks with you and if you see others using them, then put them on, if not...hell, put them on anyways http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif What's the worst they're gonna do? Tell you to take them off?

withamc,
"No drag slicks allowed." Hu? Maybe I missed something -where does it say you can run slicks?? |
Quote:
It says no slicks and no electronic equipment but then it says call for details. I think the slicks defy the the (street legal) catagory since they arent DOT approved. But they will let you use them anyway. It says call for details so why not ask em? Pat, it sucks that you cant come. I really want to see your car. Maybe you can get the night off or have someone cover for you? [This message has been edited by fastang (edited 06-12-2001).] |
the people at that track are pretty layed back, you won't have a problem using slicks! you're supposed to have a helmet if you run 13.99 or faster, and the tech guy said to me"don't worry about it kid, if you run in the 12's then we will probably call you on it!" i cracked into the 13's 3 times and they never said a thing! you need to wear pants and a normal shirt and closed shoes, they are strict on that. isn't the next one on the 22nd and 23rd of this month? or is it this weekend you guys are going?

89cp - check out http://www.famosoraceway.com/streetlegal.html Like I said, I was only reading the website.
The schedule has the next event June 22 and 23 but it also says on the Events page "Street legal drags are held on Fridays starting at 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays starting at 1:00p.m. Street Legal cars are always welcome during all of our Saturday Summit Races and all of our Saturday Open Test and Tunes." Does this mean every Friday and Saturday? |
Looks like the next ones are the 22nd (fast and the furious day) and the 23rd.
I would definatly rather go on a friday as it is night racing and would be much cooler. Bakersfield is hot as hell! About the slicks, they had the same rule at pomona, everyone ran em. No big deal. The only thing I gotta get is a helmet. 22nd sound good for everyone?

What time are you heading up Sky? I usually get out of work around 5:00 in Burbank, which won't put me at Famoso till at least 7:30 by the time I swing by home and lose the monkey suit and pick up monkey woman.
|
withamc,
hehhe. I didn't click on the picture the last time. doh! Anyhow, I'm sure you can use slicks. I was just there this past weekend with a friend and he got to run his slicks all day long. Hell, they let him use a coke can for a catch can! You can always try teching in with your radials and then switching them over before hitting the staging lanes, but I'm sure you will not have any problems with the slicks. You should have a safety loop though. BTW, you can race both days, but Sat is when they have most of their points racing, so you will not have as many runs as you would on Friday. enjoy |
fastang, the car is not much to look at but ill try to get the night off but it might be hard...its a pain to do any thing like that i tried to call in sick after i put my motor in cuz i didt feel good after slving on th car for 12 hours striat and breathing fumes the said NO... cuz they knew what i was doing....we any way ill try and ill see you later..
it still runs great!!!! ------------------ ALL NEW PPG Torch Red 95GT, 304ci block, Forged pistons, Ported Explorer Intake, E-303 cam, fully ported and polished and milled E-7 heads, 75mm MAS, BBK Adj. fuel Reg & gauge, BBK Shorty Headers, BBK H-pipe, March Pulleys, 2 Chamber Flowmasters, Kenny Brown 6 point Roll cage, Kenny Brown Panhard Bar, Powerslot Rotors, PBR twin piston calipers, Eibach Sportline Springs, 180* Thermostat, 1/2 Plenum Spacer, MSD 6AL, MSD Master Blaster, MSD 8.8 Wires, 24# Racing Injectors, AFS 10.5" Cobra R's, Nit |
Well I'll try and get my g/f off work early. So I can take off around 430 or so. And get there before 7.

OK - I've never been to a strip before. "Catch can"? Do I need a safety loop? How about just me, the car, and a helmet?
[This message has been edited by withamc (edited 06-13-2001).] |
Whats wrong with going this Saturday? Are they closing it or something? I cant make a friday, I dont get off of work untill 6pm and its a good 3-4 hours from here. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif
|
Its not open every weekend, but rather every other weekend. Next time is the 22nd. Maybe you can get off work early that friday?
We could all check out fast and furious too maybe? SKy ------------------ -1989 Saleen Mustang #406- TFS Heads, E-303, edelbrock intake,70MM TB, 73mm MAF, off road H, headers and 3chamber flows. 12.55@107mph 50-175 Nitrous Works WET Kit just added. |
I might be able to leave at 4 but I still wouldnt get there untill around 8, and my girl wants to go, she doesnt get off untill 6 too, and I seriously doubt that she can get off that early.
They run on Saturday night too. They dont stop untill 10, thats pretty late. I would prefer a friday too but I just wont be able to make it. I will go up late next friday and get a room. If you guys dont want to run on Saturday I might visit you at the track before you leave and go by myself on Sat. I was considering getting a 100 shot for this, what do you think Sky? Did you get my personal message? ------------------ 95GT B303 cam, 1.7 rockers, 65mm TB, milled heads, 355's K&N, BBK Longtubes, Flowmaster cat back, pulleys, msd coil, 9mm wires, Tremec 3550, Pro5.0 shifter,10.5 Motorsport clutch, FMS aluminum driveshaft, weld in subframe connectors [This message has been edited by fastang (edited 06-13-2001).] |
So whats the deal guys? Is everyone going on the 22nd or do some ppl want to go on the 23rd? or both?
|
From what I understood is that the 23rd is only daytime Racing. I know I can go for sure on the 22nd. I dont know about the 23rd. I don't want u to get stuck there by yourself tho jesse on saturday, that would suck. Im gonna check my private messages now.

I'm out.
I'm heading back to school that weekend and will not be back 'till mid-August. later |
I thought Saturday went from 1-10pm. Thats pretty late. How much later is friday open anyway? I thought they were open fewer hours on friday.
|
I'm in luck - I'm getting off work on Friday because our company is moving in to it's new offices. I'm changing my tranny this weekend if it fits and I'm good to go either the 22nd or the 23rd.

Cool. My buddy's bringing his (98 or 99, I'm not sure) Ram Air Firebird. I'm driving a red '93 GT, tall blond wife with me. See you there.
|
Sky, Do you have a cell phone? If you do could you send me a private message with the number so I can get ahold of you when I get there? Anyone want to see Fast n Furious up there?
|
Hey anybody who's run there before - what's the deal once you get in the gate? Get in line for a safety check and get a number? Do you just run whoever they line you up with or can you line up against a friend? When they say full shirt do they mean long sleeves or is a t-shirt OK? If you can't tell, I'm new at this.

NO NO NOooo.........
Well... I worked my *** off all day, running all over Ventura County to try and get gaskets. I finally do. And the EGR gets in the way of the fuel line hooking up to the Nitrous Plate. So I tried putting it infront of the Throttle Body. But the thorttle cable attachment got in the way then. Then I find I need a driveshaft safetly look for bakersfield. I bought one of those too. Ive tried everything can't get the damn NOS hooked up. Im trailer the car to bottle blown racing tomrrow, they are going to fix it up some how, and then they are going to put a full roll cage in the car too. As I'll be in the 11's now. So I can't go tomorrow. Im so pissed I worked all damn day the last 2 days tryin to get my car ready. But it will be ready after this weekend for next time.

That sucks Skyler. I was hoping to finally meet you and see you run. Well I'll let you know what I run. I'm guessing mid 13's, I don't know. Depends on whether I suck at launching or not. I seem to do best when I launch at 1500 and feather the clutch till I kinda hook and then just mash it. Still spins through 1st. I'm running Yokohamas.
I can't seem to get a straight answer from that lady at Famoso about helmets. I told her I've got a Snell M95 rated helmet, she says that's OK, then tells my friend that the Snell SA2000 helmet he just bought won't do. I think she's just reading straight out of a book and has no clue. ------------------ 93 GT, CCM long block, GT40P heads, Crane 2031, 1.7 RR's, Moroso cold air, 73mm Vortech, 65mm TB, Cobra intake, 24# injectors, MSD 6AL, MAC GT40P headers, 2-1/2" BBK H-pipe (w/cats), Flowmasters, 3.55s, B&M Ripper shifter, Black Magic fan [This message has been edited by withamc (edited 06-22-2001).] |
