Get a few beers after and whatnot. . . Anyone interested?

I would love to see what that sti will do....And I have seen plenty of 10.5 second STI's run so dont be embarrassing my brothers...lol Everyone of us are car guys and love to play with all the different makes and models. Its all about the fun..

Larry, since when can a SuperSnake do quicker than 11.5 at Bandimere??
Could you imagine being strapped in so tight, having a Hahn device and the guard against the side of your helmet so you can't even turn your head for a 500 mile, 3-1/2 hour race?? Talk about cramped up.

I am putting a checklist on my windshield.. Poor mans heads up display..!
First up is set the door bar, second is shut the door, put helmet in passenger seat, buckle up, set seat, put on helmet, roll down to the stage tunnel. Start motor, Turn off traction control. Tighten belts. pull into water box, Push brakes hard and set line locks. Warm em up. Stage. Race for 11+ seconds. undo process in reverse.... Yeah I am telling you its going to be something new for sure. Got roll bar pads, and Helmet today.. Dang its like they see you coming when it comes to buying a helmet. Deals on old models but only half the life or a little more for 10 years...

Larry's about the closest to stock we can offer you...see his pictures a page or two back....just kidding. I'm sure we can set something up.

Its going to be a fun season..But if you keep it up you wont be able to share in the laughs cause you will be suspended again here on C5......roflmao

I think a 7 year old could crawl back there....not sure if she will like it anyway as the view is nearly zero. Get a good Simpson set and strap her in the front. What are the booster seat laws anyway? You are going to be below 11.5 so you might as well start planning your NHRA safety mods.

I plan on being there, I want to see what my car can do before I really start modding it in the next year or so.. Plus I live around C470 and Bowels!!! 5 min's and I'm there...

You guys that have taken a stock SS there, How do they do?? High 12's??

Let us know how you like it....can't wait to hear. Are you tuning the transmission also?

[ud_lose]

Yes Clint will also be tuning the tranny. The plan as of right now is to take about 75% of the TM out of sport mode.

[Hulk]

What is MT? What are you planning to do with the torque management?

Larry.

Try 15's. If your a manual and have stock tires you'll struggle with the launch first off. If you have no experience it's a bit of an eye opener. Fun as heck though.I started in the 16's and by the end Without mods I was down to the lower 15's. did some mods and was @ 14.01 but missed the rest of last yr. This yr I have a tune,some other work
and hopefully will be in the 13's. You canto to ragtime.com and then adjust your times to see what you would have run at sea level, but your not at sea level so what the heck just be happy with where your at......ha, just a dig at Kirk cause he's got his adjusted time in his sig.I'm thinking that's where you got the 12's time.

stock manual with PZero's expect 14.5 and up.stock auto expect 14.8 on up. You are at 5900 ft man..get used to the wonders of 8500 and higher DA adjustments. But its all good....Everyone else is running at the same dissadvantage.

Bahahahaaha I did not put the driver experience time addition on it...I figure he will be bummed enough to hear 14's..
I dont know if you were there when the guy came out with the twin turbo set up expecting to get kicked off the track after one run. He proceeded down the track with a 13.9 second run....

Its a whole different world out there but fun fun fun!

TM is Torque Management. We are taking 75% of the torque management out of the sport mode and leaving the Drive mode alone.

[ToolFan66]

It is so fun...and a vital point in keeping it on the track and off the streets.
That is the best part of it all.

Kirky will be the one you need to talk to about the paddle shifting etc.

He for one has worked hard to get his times down..And now he will be wearing a helmet which is a good thing cause no one else can hear him talking as he is pulling up to the line now....
The folks in the stands were starting to complain....roflmao
