Next SO CAL race day?

withamc · 06-11-2001, 12:15 AM

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

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.

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.

Skyman · 06-11-2001, 03:08 PM

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!

Me too! This time I'm not racing anyone Friday night. Where do you guys want to hook up?

fastang · 06-11-2001, 05:42 PM

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.

I think were talkin Bakersfield. Does anyone know the elevation of this track? Do they run at night too? I really want to run at night.

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

. 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!!

I was just reading what they had on their website.

06-12-2001, 10:52 AM

Just take the slicks with you and if you see others using them, then put them on, if not...hell, put them on anyways

What's the worst they're gonna do? Tell you to take them off?

Im thinkin about driving up on friday night and getting a room. Might be nice. I cant run on friday. But I'm definitely down for Sat.

I'm more than willing to drive for 6 hours to get a decent launch. Carlsbad is a shithole. It irks me that its at the PERFECT elevation but a waste of time. They charge WAAY to much money to run on a shitty track too.
