1TZ JENN 05-28-2003 06:46 AM

fatboyee 05-28-2003 08:17 AM

hey numneggets:

vmp... STAY AWAY this w/e. they're doin the ac delco nationals down ther.

go to richmond. it cost 15bux as well, the track ain't too bad and you get unlimited runs (or atleast we did 2weeks ago). it's all test n tune which makes it even more worth your money.

my 2 cent

LOCO 05-28-2003 09:02 AM

do they have richmond open for test and tune on sat. also?? I really want to run this thing.

Computer_Nerd 05-28-2003 10:58 AM

If I'm not working too late, I'd like to take this beast out to a local track before a new exhaust setup for some before/after timeslips.

Woodrow 05-28-2003 11:25 AM

New exhaust set up?? WTF!! It's loud as hell and you have cats on the car? LOL.

Damn and I was thinking of doing T&T Saturday at VMP, but they got the nationals.

Computer_Nerd 05-28-2003 12:50 PM

Yeah. Exhaust hangs too low. Hondas got nothing on my ground clearance. May need to get some fattie engine mounts to raise the "stock" engine and tranny if at all possible. Appears to be about 1/2" wiggle room. Might have to do this when the upper+lower intake swap happens.

Can't do too much with the equal length long tubes and collectors, but the 3" from the collectors to the mufflers might be able to do something there. Always dragging on the collector flanges.

Would like a dump option after the mufflers. Would also like a swappable piece between the collectors and the mufflers; one with cats, one without. Also need a crosspiece to balance the exhaust gases after the collectors and before the cats.

Then again, it all costs $$$.

Del La Sol 1320 05-28-2003 02:16 PM

its 'motorcycle mania' friday night so if theres no rain i'm definetly gonna be there with a few friends... so if you see a white guy on a red/silver/black gsxr 750 come say whats up

LOCO 05-28-2003 04:03 PM

so do any tracks have test and tune days on sat.??

LETHAL EFI 05-28-2003 05:12 PM

rich,, come on out to richmond(weather permitting)
oh and leave the radials at home!;)

Del La Sol 1320 05-28-2003 06:45 PM

theres no ac nationals this weekend at vmp, thats next weekend... this friday is motorcycle mania/street wars/street points and test and tune so you guys should come out there... personally you couldn't pay me to run at richmond, especially when you have the nicest drag racing facility in the country only 30 minutes away... plus you get like 4-5 times more runs at dinwiddie than you would at richmond

Woodrow 05-28-2003 07:04 PM

Not on a friday you don't unless you are running S/T. T&T usually don't get that many runs in. Hell last week a buddy got 2 runs in went home to fix his exhaust came back and got 10 more runs in at Richmond. Now that MIR, VMP and Richmond are running Friday nights, its broken up the traffic.

Del La Sol 1320 05-28-2003 07:11 PM

actually i only went to richmond once so maybe i just went on the wrong night... but in about 6 hours i got TWO!!! runs... and i hated it, most the cars looked like they should be condemned and the track was like some half paved back road with that huge dip at the end that would be a very serious hazard on a bike... at vmsp i've gone about 7 times and gotten anything from 5 runs(on a night with lots of blown motors and oil spills to clean up) to over 15 runs and could have gotten more but stopped to watch some of the other guys run, and the track there is absolutely perfect and you actually see some really cool cars/bikes... sorry i'm just a huge richmond hater/dinwiddie lover i just wish it was a little closer, but 30-40 minute drive isn't bad... have they fixed that big dip at the end of richmond, if so i might go out one night for the hell of it, even though its about the same distance from me as vmsp

fatboyee 05-28-2003 07:55 PM

im 12 min from vmp but got SOOO many more runs in at richmond 2 weeks ago.

true: vmp's track blows richmond out of the water. but don't let those busted ass cars at richmond fool ya... they're some of the quickest rust buckets out ther.

besides, on friday, the only cars allowed to run are 'street cars'. none of this super modded b/s that'll be at vmp on a normal friday. which turns away alot of the traffic and makes it more fun for us 'compact sports' guys :D

Tainty_McFshStx 05-28-2003 08:22 PM


vmp... STAY AWAY this w/e. they're doin the ac delco nationals down ther.
Nah dude thats next weekend...this weekend is open :D
I just hope i get more than V8's that seem to dust my ass everytime:mad:

Nic 05-29-2003 02:10 AM

Might have to start doing the Richmond thing on Friday nights if you guys say the track is that much better than it used to be. It's a lot closer to work than VMP.

fatboyee 05-29-2003 11:59 AM

the track itself is in the same condition, but it's a neater facility now since they've paved most of the pits (the parts every1 uses).

and they also do bikes too. they give the bikers their own lane to stage in and all that jazz. i was jus havin so much fun fukin with the 'compact sport' (import) guys that night.

that's prolly wher i'll wind up again friday night. im jus basically followin the crowd. if most of y'all go to vmp, i'll suk it up n go. if not, ric here i come

Nic 05-29-2003 02:08 PM

We have a points race fri. night at vmp, so I'll more than likely be there racing one of my dad's cars.

spike_um 05-29-2003 04:19 PM

so where is everyone going? dinwiddie or richmond?

Del La Sol 1320 05-29-2003 04:52 PM

dinwiddie here, but i'd be down for a trip to richmond any other weekend to give it a second shot

Tainty_McFshStx 05-29-2003 04:57 PM

spike_um 05-30-2003 06:03 AM

i'll be there tonight, should get there around 630 or so. look for the red 240sx and say wasabi. i'll be test n tuning.
i would like to see the 4pak, sounds cool.

Chasinracing 05-30-2003 08:12 AM

What time does things get started down at VMP tonight?

Del La Sol 1320 05-30-2003 08:26 AM

i believe dial in runs or test/tune start at 5:30 and then eliminations start around 7 or 8, wheelie contest 9-9:30 and then its all open runs until the noise ordinance which is 11:00
