Spring Track Day Chit Chat

[99chromegt]

Reon D at DaSliva Racing has announced........
***Spring Track Day*** - 01/21/15
We are having a track day on Thursday, April 30th, 2015. Preliminary plans include the road course only but we would like to gauge interest in drag strip so we will leave this as an option. Registration is $120.00 per driver in advance and $140 at the gate. Please be sure to bring the proper head protection and ensure that your vehicle is running properly. Mark your calendars and make sure you join us. No open wheeled vehicles will be permitted to join this event, 4 wheeled vehicles only.
Thanks
Reon D

I figured we could start a thread in the General Mustangs Chit Chat Forum to past time away this winter until this epic day is upon us. Please PM or email Reon if you are interested in having the drag strip booked for that day as well. Approximately 40 cars would be the magical number to make that happen. I for one would be willing to pay extra for the strip if the numbers aren't there just to make it happen. I have attended two of these track days last year and it is a blast! Anyone remotely thinking about coming out... Do it! Even if it is just to watch. So who's in??

[Stephen06GT]

I'd be willing to Ol Paint and his perfect winning record, on the 1320 for the spring track day.

[RedSN]

No need for the 1/4 mile, I don't even have to brake at the end.
This is due to a combination of: car is slow in a straight line, car can handle the hairpin turn at the end :D

Looking forward to this! Can't wait to try out the new parts.

The dash cam is hooked up and ready to go.

[RedSN]

dammit! that's one more thing to do!
must install dashcam this year.

[ZR]

In the interest of seeing the drag strip option return, I'd be down with registering for it as well.

[Not4you]

I had a blast on the strip last year! may be in for both, but would like to get back to the twisties in the spring with some new rubber.

[Intmdtr]

I Might be in for the drag strip...my car isn't setup for RC, but I will passenger if someone will have me...

[Amsoil Guy]

Done...now your good to go

Lol thanks! Simple enough.

[Stephen06GT]

I Might be in for the drag strip...my car isn't setup for RC, but I will passenger if someone will have me...

We'll find you a right seat somewhere.

[NickD]

I'll prob do I both as well

[99chromegt]

I Might be in for the drag strip...my car isn't setup for RC, but I will passenger if someone will have me...

Slap some new brakes on it....keep your street tires on and you are all set for the RC.

[Slick_89_Hatch]

Im down for drag strip for sure, and possibly road coarse if I get my new parts installed.

[fast Ed]

I'd be in for both this time. Who wants to teach me the road course?

I am going to try to make it for this one ... if I do, I'll be glad to hop in the right seat for people who would like to have a bit of coaching.

Solid offer right there.

[Not4you]

That would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[NickD]

Matt, you and I are going to have a re-do, I don't think I will have the new brakes in time but will try to not go off roading (backwards)

[fast Ed]

Just realized that day is my birthday as well ... dammit, I'm taking the day off work regardless!! ;-)

[Crash]

I will be driving sumthin straight down the track.

[TheMustangShow]

2 days after my 40th.....wife better let me out. And just checked the schedule here at work....NOT WORKING.

[1BAD92LX]

I'm in for the RC and to probably embarrass myself on the drag strip

[ZR]

Great to see all the support for the drag strip so far, thanks guys.
Let's keep the momentum going forward.

[99chromegt]

^^ X2 ZR

[1BAD92LX]

When your already paying for the RC, another $20 to make sure the other folks get to use the strip is no big deal.

[99chromegt]

Im down for drag strip for sure, and possibly road coarse if I get my new parts installed.

Norm I want to race you on the strip..
http://youtu.be/DJnKm6ftPu0

[tulowd]

Always sign up and pay for access to both; even tho Ive never gone over to the drag strip other than to watch after I lunched the transmission last spring.

In for both RC and DS as always; thx for getting the date published nice and early for good planning.

[Stephen06GT]

I'd be in for both this time. Who wants to teach me the road course?

Ryan, come to the Go-Karting event on March 1 and practice your lines in small scale. :D

[Styrofoam04]

Can't wait! Will have to take the car out eariler then I planned but Vrooom, Vrooom!

[ZR]

ANNOUNCEMENT

In an effort to see the event continue with the drag strip and road course, club is putting up an incentive for peeps to register for both. Remember that big ass tool set everyone was talking about from Canadian Tire a week or two ago.............well we've got one and wanna give it away to you.

Ok so how do you enter the draw for this bad boy, just gotta pre register for BOTH ROAD COURSE AND DRAG STRIP. Opting for one or the other won't work, no exceptions. We'll be drawing for the prize live at the race track.

Best of luck to everyone.

[99chromegt]

^^ very cool idea.

[Uncle Buck]

Twisties and straights sound like a great way to spend a spring day. Count me in.

[KIDAGIN]

Dam just had a doctors appointment scheduled that day

[Frankie]

I'm in for the RC. Will "donate" the rest.

Hey Ed, you think you can teach me how to make my "close to stock" Fox fast?

[03svt]

I'm on the fence, be cutting it very close to wifey's due date and 2 hours away from home might not be a great idea...so I'm a maybe...

[99chromegt]

Lol that is a tough call.

[03svt]

Lol that is a tough call.

It is..and I can't be trusted not to break shit while at the track so will be hard to rush back if I get "the phone call" haha

Least I'll be surrounded by cars that can get me to the hospital in a hurry :)

[speedfreak]

If I have a fox by then id be in for the strip!

[55 HD]

^^^^If I have a Cobra Vert by then id be in for the strip.

I'm still interested Dave

[RedSN]

DONE!!! Who wants to see me run the straight line car around the road course?.
I do!

...with which tires?

[Nsty04SVT]

What's your car running these days Brian? I'd like to give it a go with the Lightning :)

[Ghost Rider]

What's your car running these days Brian? I'd like to give it a tow with the Lightning :)

:D

[Nsty04SVT]

Haha GR...well now that I am finally back to work I have a couple mods planned Tune, 4lb Lower and an exhaust that should wake her up just a bit hoping low 13's.

[ZR]

How ya doin?

[Canadian Bacon]

Haha GR...well now that I am finally back to work I have a couple mods planned Tune, 4lb Lower and an exhaust that should wake her up just a bit hoping low 13's.

They run low 13's stock with a good driver and decent tires. Why 4 lb lower? Go with a 6! Talk to JLP he'll set it up nicely.

[Nsty04SVT]

How ya doin?

Good Rick, finally back to work it's been a while!! Looking to get the clutch in the Cobra fixed up in a couple months will be in touch ;)


They run low 13's stock with a good driver and decent tires. Why 4 lb lower? Go with a 6! Talk to JLP he'll set it up nicely.

I wish 13.8 best I could muster last fall...maybe a driver mod needed...lol...I might consider a 6 lb lower down the road but it's a daily for now...lol...famous last words.

[Canadian Bacon]

6 LB won't hurt anymore than a 4.

Best I've been able to get is a 13.9x so far with rock hard Toyo's (Don't buy stock size Toyo's).

[Nsty04SVT]

It came with brand new Nitto Extreme NT555 (295/45/18) on all 4 corners so far they are awesome :thumbsup:

[ZR]

With tuning coming so far, the 6lb lower is the new 4lb'r.
Good to hear things are getting back on track.
No worries, just holler.

[Amsoil Guy]

Would a drag radial like the Nitto NT05R be ok for the Road Course?

[RedSN]

What's the difference between the NT05 and the NT05R?
I run the NT05 as my RC tires.


Edit: can find any info. But my gutt says the drag version of the NT05 is not going to like the corners too good.

[Amsoil Guy]

Oh right the sidewalls on the DR. Stupid question should have thought about it more.

[ZR]

Only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

[Ghost Rider]

different tire compound as well between the street and the R version

[Ghost Rider]

What's the difference between the NT05 and the NT05R?
I run the NT05 as my RC tires.


Edit: can find any info. But my gutt says the drag version of the NT05 is not going to like the corners too good.



can or can't?

how about the nitto site? lol :)

[NickD]

Ryan
if our wheels are interchangable we can swap wheels I would love to try the nt05r on the strip and give you my 285 hancooks
just sent reon the email. Who knows if the car will be out by then?

[Amsoil Guy]

Unfortunately Ford put a 5x135 on the Lightnings and that gen F150. I haven't gotten DR's yet I still don't know what DR's to get and what rims I want to go with.

[RedSN]

Too bad I didn't still have the F150. Had Lightning rims with 295 Nitto 555's.
Lol, an F150 shouldn't corner that hard, I scared a lot of passengers.

http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt137/LX-Markham/rims.jpg

[jibbijib]

I have a bit of work ahead of me to complete in 4 months.

[ZR]

If it takes four months to git big red ready, gonna miss track day by a full month.

That's awesome I like the style side pickups with lightning rims.

[Intmdtr]

I do!

...with which tires?

Would you like to see me run the RC with big and littles? Otherwise I might just be on my street tires for both

[Intmdtr]

What's your car running these days Brian? I'd like to give it a go with the Lightning :)
It's gone 13.1 since I ran your silver bullet, but it didn't turn its numbers last year, but it's likely faster then a Mach 1 on the drag strip.....

:D
You stepping up for the straight line sunny boy?

[TurboFox]

Hope I can get there but not sure if I will have slicks so I might be spectating

[speedfreak]

Hope I can get there but not sure if I will have slicks so I might be spectating

With the kinda coin you drop on your projects Dean im sure you can find a tire even if it is used! I wanna see that beast run!!

I will try. Part of it is out of my control. Car is going into the paint shop soon so hopefully its ready.

yup. about one full second over mine ...

[99chromegt]

sorry...it's only happy when it's Apex'n!!

It's only happy or you are only happy? Like REDSN said.....there is a hairpin turn at the end of the 1/4 mile lol

[99chromegt]

yup. about one full second over mine ...

With some drag tires on the Mach that full second interval would improve

[Ghost Rider]

It's only happy or you are only happy? Like REDSN said.....there is a hairpin turn at the end of the 1/4 mile lol

it's only happy...

I spent a lot of money making it go around corners...it would be like dressing up a ball player but making him sit on the bench for the whole game LMAO

Done deal. Anytime
Win or lose it doesn't matter to me, it's just about having fun
At grudge day I got stuck racing Heinz in all his cars cause my matches broke or didn't show
Still had a blast losing

[Intmdtr]

@Intmdtr - I actually would put my car up against yours...but not with me driving it...I'd have to fly my brother in for it :)
Well I would put my car up against yours on the RC! But I would have to fly in Boris Said.....

Guess your Mach is a little skeered?......:waiting:

Sounds good. I'm out there for the same reasons. You were launching the Cobra hard and it seemed to be hooking well. I just like being lined up against other new edges. If someone has pics or a video of me and Whitehot racing on the 1320 last year I would love to see it.

[Whitehot]

I e mailed Reon, same as usual. Road course mornin, drag afternoon ;) lets race lol

[99chromegt]

Here you are Whitehot. I hope we can line up a few times this year.

http://youtu.be/VBvb2bnB4rc

[ZR]

Yellow cars gonna win on the drag strip.
Hell, might even win on the road course.

Just sayin :)

[RedSN]

"Watch out, the yellow ones don't stop!"

Not driving 'thru' the burnout...?

[Stephen06GT]

I was going to say doing the burn out while the car in front is still at the line.

[RedSN]

^^^ding ding ding.

I realized it as soon as I looked up.

Can guarantee won't make that mistake again. The look on the starters face was pure evil. Mine was the look of a puppy dog that just ate the sofa.

Fun race after that :D

[Uncle Buck]

Thought I was bad running with the windows down

[99chromegt]

^^So what where the times in that race?

[RedSN]

SLOW.

LOL, my car struggles to get into the 14's.
Good torque and good bite usually gives me a jump on the neighboring lane, but they almost always reel me in as I run out of steam at the top end.

I was going to say you jumped out off the line pretty good. I'm made about 25 passes in total last year and learnt something new every pass. Like the R/C the D/S is so addictive.

Good torque and good bite usually gives me a jump on the neighboring lane, but they almost always reel me in as I run out of steam at the top end.

My bro and I ran steady 14s all day last fall. we should line up.

[NickD]

My bro and I ran steady 14s all day last fall. we should line up.
My best was a 14.0 at the track day last year too, matt and I were pretty close outside of me sleeping at the light

[ZR]

Looks easier vs what it is.

[Uncle Buck]

X2 ^^
My best is a 14.1 but I'm sure there's a 13.9 in the car. Even SLOW times are a bunch of fun when running with your buds. See you at the tree Not4you.

Spring track day will be my last one NA so pressure is on or rather boost is off....whatever.

[Stephen06GT]

Sign me up for the 14 sec. club shootout.

[jibbijib]

Sign me up for the 14 second car shootout too. Could use some easy targets... lmao

I can already tell you how that race would look.
I would jump a car ahead, hold it until the 1/8 mile, then you would zoom past me at the 1/4.

[HyperGT]

if i can get the suspension done i am in for a 16 sec pass.

All these cars lining up to take a piece of RedSN now, LOL.
Dammit, I'll have to get a new pair of M/T's. Sold mine to Speedfreak last season.

we still need to combine a challenge where we take a 3 lap average at the RC then run over for 3 pulls on the drags.

[ZR]

^^^
I'd be down for that.
Been trying to get someone to do it for years.

[1BAD92LX]

^^^cool idea, I'd be in.

[jibbijib]

we still need to combine a challenge where we take a 3 lap average at the RC then run over for 3 pulls on the drags.

Would be cool to have an app that has the start/finish line on the RC so it can be accurately timed by a phone. Would have to have gps implementation, but it would be an equal and fair timing system. That way multiple people can track their times on the track...

I wish I knew how to build such an app.

Edit: I found an app called RaceChrono. Looks like a track can be made. I wonder if it can be uploaded for other users... If that's the case, one can be made for Cayuga snd the split times can be entered in.

[Intmdtr]

Add me to the 16 second 1/4 group....wink wink. Anyone want to make some wagers?

Do R/C slicks work on the drag strip? Or better off with street tires?

Upon further research, there's an entry for Cayuga already. I think we just found our laptimer.

Already on it. I'll gladly setup the roadcourse timer for people at the track. Just make sure you have th FREE app and I'll make sure it's setup for ya. Then all you need is a dongle to hold the phone for ya.

The app does average time fastest lap etc. So we can at least have the "difficult" part taken care of

[RedSN]

[Intmdtr]

Are you going to run on street tires for the R/C?

[RedSN]

technically..... yes

Nitto NT05 is a street tire ;)

[Intmdtr]

Then technically I guess nitrous and slicks is my street setup too......in Mexico, where I will pretend to be on the 30th of April.....

[RedSN]

No, really, it IS a street tire. Just happens to be my track tires.


The NT05™ is a max performance tire engineered to complement the power of your vehicle. It was developed through extensive computer simulation modeling and on-track testing. The rigorous development process helped produce a street tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance. Knowing the tire is responding to your inputs will inspire your confidence.
It inspires my confidence :D

[Intmdtr]

Well then my nitto 555's will have to do....

[Not4you]

trick always becomes either a) lining up with a car/driver that is a close match-up or b) finding a way to handicap so that cars that are fairly different can run against each other. eg) a 1 second difference on the strip is much different than a 1 second difference over a minute and a half lap of the r/c. we still have not figured out how to nail down this latter issue.

[tulowd]

we still need to combine a challenge where we take a 3 lap average at the RC then run over for 3 pulls on the drags.

[Stephen06GT]

Guys, I think timing for the RC might come down to a couple of people with stop watches standing behind the wall at a predetermined spot. Technically this is a "lapping day" so no timing. I think if we use the KISS method we can make this work and have some fun at the same time.

[Ghost Rider]

who cares about timing...loudest car should win!!

I agree with Stephen: "unofficial" stopwatch timing should be more than adequate for the intended purpose.

This is the day I got Black Flagged and kicked off the track

too much noise...I tripped the DB metre track side that send a message to the town hall saying you have a car out there that is too loud and breaking noise by-laws

guy brought me in and asked if I could put my exhaust back on and I said "sure...okay finished" I didn't have any other muffs to switch too that day so they pulled the plug on the DB metre and let me back out in the afternoon


I guess some flags should have been raised when I won the noise completion at Steeda Dyno day a few years back, as my car broke the DB metre...

that was the first time I met Scott (Blackmare) he was in charge of the metering the cars...

after my car was dyno'd Scott came over and said "Hi, WTF??"

I said "No, I'm Ghost Rider, I don't think WTF is here today"

he said "No, your exhaust, WTF man?"

You're on!

And I suggested the app because most peeps have a smart phone. plus it's the most accurate since it uses the exact samespot no matter what phone or car

I think it's more simple for people who want to be timed to have the app since it would be measured at the exact same distance. Plus two or three guys with stop watches would be way more complicated if there are several who want to be timed. Plus accuracy is not possible...

Seriously, I downloaded the app and assigned Cayuga to one of my tracks. All I have to do is hit "start" when at the track and it does the rest for me.

[RedSN]

it's the most accurate since it uses the exact samespot no matter what phone or car
as exact as a smartphone GPS can be .....which is about 3m (10')

I think somebody with a stopwatch can be more accurate than that.

but I'm not opposed to the app, sounds kinda cool.
I would like to have the app anyway.

[Amsoil Guy]

Someone should put the app to a test and have someone on the side line timing and see if it correct.

[Stephen06GT]

Jibber, not everyone has a smart phone, and even if they do, not everyone will remember to download the app, or turn it on when they hit the track. Also, unless you have a device to secure the phone to the dash or windshield, it's not a good idea to have a loose cell phone in the car.

Also, there is no version for the Iphone at this time.

[RedSN]

Also, unless you have a device to secure the phone to the dash or windshield
I thought Jibb was volunteering to ride shotgun and hold the phone?

Then all you need is a dongle to hold the phone for ya.

The loose phone adds to the excitement factor!

Do it however you want but I know I'm going to use the app. And I'll help anyone else who wants to use it as well.

I would say that having the human timers would be good still for those who won't use or be able to use the app.

[Ghost Rider]

You're on!


really?

I'll lay down $100 on this...

[RedSN]

[TheMustangShow]

Think if there is now way to have some kind of track triggered timing device for the times, a Gongshow may be the result.

Maybe TMP have one and it could be rented for the day, I'm sure divided by all of us participating, the cost would be nominal.

[jibbijib]

Why does money have to be in it? In regard to GRs bet

Also, didn't you go and make your car quieter? Especially for track days?

^^^doubtful, they were going to do that at Mosport for us one year and bring a guy in to set everything up and manage it...was going to add $50 per car at the time X 80 cars was an extra $4k To bring the guy in with his live timing laser equipment

I don't think TMP has anything like this on stand by...

[jibbijib]

Re:timing
The KISS method is being pissed all over. I offered what I thought was a very simple solution.It's not complicated at all lol. And you can keep the phone in a glove box or arm rest if you don't have a dongle... Either that or I can tape it toyour dashboard...

[Not4you]

no need to be butthurt Jib. its a good idea, but a stopwatch is much simpler. i have tried a few, even some that connect with the OBD2 dongle, and some that say they have TMP added in. They don't work too well at all, won't work unless they have line of sight (so not in the glovebox) and as said, not everyone who wants a time will be downloading and dicking around with apps on the day. a guy standing on the side with a watch is fine. also, as said it is a lapping day so timing can get us in some trouble with the event for insurance reasons etc. someone with a watch is less conspicuoous than people messing about with phones and apps before each run. this way we can also do more than one car at a time (in case only one phone is running the app). as for being a gongshow, what has been discussed so far is all about some fun between friends. no gongshow there so long as we are keeping it light. want EXACT timing to the thousandth of a second so you can get the best measure of your dick size, join the Time Attack series.

[jibbijib]

I'm not butthurt, just baffled at how difficult it's being made. The app just uses the gps on your phone. Very simple. Just records the time it takes you to pass each "marker". Not really anything complicated about it. And I found it and suggested it now so people could download it now or any time before the trackday and familiarize themselves with it.

Stopwatch timing is ok. But I'm just trying to make it easier cuz I know it would get difficult to keep track of 6 people at a time with one stop watch. And if you have many timers, they'll all have to be at the same line and have the same reaction time for it to have any type of accuracy.

Thats why I think everyone using the same method would work the best. That way it's discreet and people can show their times to the "judge" without any discrepancy.

But hey thats just me. If you want to do any sort of timing event it has to be pretty reliable and unbiased.

Like I said I'll use the app. I'll gladly let someone time me too so we can see how close the timing is :)

[TheMustangShow]

Both proposed methods are not accurate, do we know for sure that TMP has no timing system for the RC?

[Not4you]

head to TMP before the event and confirm that it works, than make it work for every car. sorted. but what I have tried so far at Mosport GP, Mosport DDT and TMP, have been very unreliable. even the TrackMaster app that has those tracks already set up. they simply do not work well in my experience. and they require a passenger that can get them going and stopped since the driver is pretty busy at the time. All I'm saying is that they are not as simple as you seem to think. actually, they suck balls. but all phones have a watch that counts seconds. and accuracy is not the paramount priority if its just for gags among friends. no need to make it more than it is. especially when we are not even aloud to do it in the first place. but if you get one to work, giver. but i've given up on trying them after no success at 4 track days last year experimenting.

although the drag one I used was pretty amazing and accurate (TorquePro).

[Not4you]

Both proposed methods are not accurate, do we know for sure that TMP has no timing system for the RC?

fuck accuracy, and TMP do not allow timing on a lapping days so asking them would be full retard.

[RedSN]
