Track Night - Sept 26th?

[IMSHAKN]

Anyone up for a night out at the track as it starts to cool down the end of September? What better way to kick off the return of some cooler weather than some Friday night drags. Firebird is running the typical friday night drags on the 26th, gates open at 6 for tech inspection, racing starts at 7. :bouncy:

[1966PonyGirl]

if you would have said Speedworld i would have been all over that! Firebird is so far :(

[IMSHAKN]

Speedworld is always good, but I personally would not won't make the 70 mile drive out that way until it's even cooler and worth my time and gas. Definitely will be making many trips out there this winter, hopefully Palo Verde Hot rods will put on another event.

[BurnTire]

I may be there if it is cool that night.

[wickedcobra]

Im in for Fire Bird. Havent had much time of late due to work so It will be fun.

[fazm]

if my trans is in I'll race if not I'll still go and watch

i hear ya on the drive. darn gas hogs! i still would be leery about doing the drive anyways. too far to call some one to rescue my butt if she breaks down!:biglaugh:

[IMSHAKN]

Not really, you'd be surprised how helpful some of the people that come out to the track really are.

[fazm]

my shops real close to firebird too if u break lol

[AZSonicSnake]

my shops real close to firebird too if u break lol

that ain't no lie! you could walk there!!! :sticktonge:

[BurnTire]

Can I stop in and do the slick swap on the lift? LOL

[fazm]

probably jeff lol. im pretty sure the new owner is cool with it but ill check

[IMSHAKN]

probably jeff lol. im pretty sure the new owner is cool with it but ill check

WTF man, I want to change mine out on the lift too! :laughing:

Only kidding, since I do the rears only there is no point putting it on the lift as I can do it faster with the jack. The only bad thing is that then I have to lug the jack around and have to store the street setup somewhere where some douche bag won't **** with things.

Im sure we can find somewhere to store our stuff. Im gonna run mine with the ET streets. Shooting for the boot.:yes:

[AZSonicSnake]

11.49 and you'll be toast! my suggestion would be to run 1/8th mile on your first pass so you can atleast go 2 passes. :laughing:

yet another reason i love speedworld. :woot1:

There shall be many trips out there as well. Especially if I start playing with Nitrous, but considering how long Wickedcobra has been hunting that 11.5, something makes me think he may be needing to run at speedworld in the not so distant future. :yes:

[AZSonicSnake]

i hear that one! i want to get out to the track so bad right now! i just wish firebird ran on saturdays more. its rather difficult for me to get from 115th ave and bell out to firebird on a friday night. :yes:

[wickedcobra]

Well, now that I have sticky tires that 11.49 or better should be possible. Im gonna run it 1/8th a couple times to get the feel for a low 60'. Then I will open it up and see what it can do. Then I have BIG plans for the ole' COBRA :Devious:

[IMSHAKN]

Then I have BIG plans for the ole' COBRA :Devious:

So long as they include a large screaming blower or a monster turbo then I'd be begging for a ride. :sticktonge:

[wickedcobra]

Definately some monster something and....................:bouncy:

[04moostang]

I know myself and a few friend's are going to be there.

I wanna improve my time.

[ASUSMC]

does ......................:bouncy: = wheel hop??


Seriously I can't wait to see what you are gonna do with it.

Since you guys will be there on Friday, why not make a whole weekend out of it! PSCA is holding it's Arizona Nationals presented by Ford Racing at Firebird the same weekend! PSCA has a new race class called Mustang Maddness (sponsored by FORD RACING!) that is open to ALL Mustangs (Ford powered only of course) of any year! Anyone can compete since it is based on an Open Comp format. We NEED your support to keep this class alive as it's the ONLY Mustang drag racing class around (FFW will NOT be coming out West next year). This class is run at all PSCA events which include Fontana, Ca, Las Vegas, NV, & Phoenix, AZ. We run for points & a championship, but we also have the best group of Mustang racers you'll ever meet! The comroderie is awesome within our class! I have at least 4-5 SoCal racers towing out to Phoenix next weekend to race. Cost is $65 to race the class both Saturday & Sunday!

[Sal]

The $65 is total for Sat & Sun only. Class fee is $20 plus gate fee $45. For Fri thru Sun is $100. Here's the link;

You'll have a blast, plus Ford Racing is doing something special ONLY for the Arizona race!!!

[sinspawn7]

[IMSHAKN]

While I'd love to do the Sat-Sun PSCA I can't since it's my weekend to work. Damnit to hell. Would be fun. Friday night drags will have to suffice.

[fazm]

[IMSHAKN]

[fazm]

my mustang might not be. lost the trans about 15 minutes ago. so now i have 2 business days to try to modify a tremec 3650 into my car if i want to drag race lol.


Jeff, you still going to stop by the shop on the way to put the tires on here? or do you just want to change them at the track?

[BurnTire]

[AZSonicSnake]

I may be out there, not 100% sure if I feel like making the drive down there if I'm not racing as it sounds like my friend isn't in the mood to take the cobra out to the track if I'm not going to be racing. Sucks too because I had the slicks all ready and everything for tonight. Oh well, there will be many more visits to the track since it's cooling down.

[IMSHAKN]

Look hard and you can find them. You have a built rear, extended studs, and a drive shaft loop?

[evil281]

actually no i have been looking for drag radials after thinking about it on the stock rear, my 60' sucks tho i need to do something

[wickedcobra]

get some drag radials and that should help you alot. It will defnately be better than those 2.0+ you are cutting. :veryhappy:

[IMSHAKN]

Well since I didn't get a change to make it out last night, how'd things end up going?

[fazm]

i didnt make it down for obvious reasons lol

Lol. It's only a few chunks out...no big deal. :thmbsup:

So what's the game plan for fixing it this go around?

[fazm]

got the tr3650 in there now thanks to an adapter plate custom made.

problem im having now is my turbo piping doesnt fit properly around the massive transmission lol.

[evil281]
