Englishtown Rumor

[Redog]

The latest rumor at the track nmow is that Points racers, like Daytona and myself, may not be able to race in the import style races like Street Wars and so on.

Why?

Ricers are crying that the point racers are "Too Good!" :lol:

I guess when you're cutting a .600 light and dialing 1 second faster than your car can run, you'd cry too.

It's kinda like the Civic I killed since I dialed at 15.80 and he dialed at 15.

I ran 15.90 and he ran a 16.20. I ran the 15.90 because I left off the gas at the end :lol:

It's like playing with a first grader. In fact check out my added signature

[kwhauck]

well all the turbo ricers at bandimere are horribly inconsistent....FYI my closest race all day at bandimere was up against greg in his supercharged alero...

[mr_eh]

i cant wait for the street wars crap this month, my second tiem bracket racing and i was killing people

.0xx reaction times, 16.191 on a 16.19 dial in, 16.202 on a 16.2 dial in, 16.224 on a 16.22 dial in, couldnt lose, until i broke out...

I'll be there :thumbsup:

[Daytona]

I'm heading down on the 31st.

[Redog]

Anybody else heading there on the 31st?

[b-spot]

Someone explain "Dial in" to a guy who's never been to a track in his life.

[Redog]

a dial in is what you perdict what your car will run in the 1/4 mile.

The closer you get, the harder you are to beat. If you beat the dial in, you "break out" and you lose

Dial in is also refered to handicapp racing

If I dial 15.50 and the other guy dials 14.50, I would get a head start, since the other car is faster. Then it all comes down to reaction time. B)

[FormulaNERD]

^^^ reaction time, traction, 60', and compensation for sandbaggers (even though there isnt much you can do for those sorry sons of... nevermind.)

whose in? im gonna invite all the j/n bodies to come out... the people who want to race will come early, the people who want to hang out will come not so early i guess :)

[Redog]

I'll be there on Oct 31 and Nov 14

[Daytona]

Street Wars is what us Points racers are banned from, though Ken is new enough that no one will think to pull him. I, on the other hand, will have quite a bit of trouble trying to fool my buddies in the tower or on the starting line. I might come down anyway.

[mr_eh]

the one on the 31st is open to us n bodies too? i'll hit that one up if im allowed to race...

[Redog]

Gotta be sneaky about it.

If you have the 3400 motor, some of the later ones were made in Mexico

[Daytona]

My Daytona is an American car (built by Dodge in the US) but has a Mitsubishi 3.0-liter installed as the standard engine from the factory. Therefore, since it's powered by Mitsubishi I can run in the import races, the MOPAR shows, the Detroit Iron events, Sport Compacts, and NHRA Stock Eliminator (it's EF/SA and FF/SA class-legal). :thumbsup:

wheres the ecotec motor built?

Actually, my car is an import to Canada....so.... :lol:

I wish I lived closer to you guys, this would be a fun fun event!

I only bracket raced once with my grand am/grand prix club. I made it to the semi's. I had dialed in at 15.62 and was doing fine with all my times in the 15.64-15.71 range. Then I ran a 15.60 :pissed: Worst part was I had a big lead and coulda let off the gas.

[Redog]

Canada is a foreign Country so that makes it an import

That's how I go in last time. Since I got the Manifold kit from RSM, I told them that my motor is Canadain ;)
