Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 To anyone interested there are a whole bunch of us going to Englishtown Raceway in NJ this Friday night for test and tune night. The weather for that day/night thus far looks like high of 69 and a low of 48! So I would assume that during the 6-10 racing hours that it will be somewhere in the low 60's and high 50's. Should be good weather for some better numbers then last time. I think the lineup includes: Mblock66 - Stage II 5eat Chrussier - Stage II MT w/ Sti swap Edmundu - Stage II MT mmm def - Stage II MT (might not race) Jesster CPA - stock 5eat and a few others! It was a great time last time! so come one come all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yep I'm in. Per the previous thread, just let me know when/where to meet up, or if we are just going to meet down at the track. Not too familiar with that area. Thanks.

Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well last time the "local" guys met down on Rt 22 east right before the 287 south split. There is a Ford/Chrysler dealer there that we all pulled into. Would that work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 I guess lets see what folks say. If I can get out of work early then I would like to meet as early as possible. Beat the traffic. Unless you want to meet up there. We need some videos this time! Whos got a video camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jesse what time do you get out of work? I'm in Bernardsville/Basking Ridge, right on your way to 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jesse what time do you get out of work? I'm in Bernardsville/Basking Ridge, right on your way to 22. Technically I dont get out until 530. But I can see what I can do. If thats getting too late for the caravan, I'll just meet you all down there. Dave, I'll call you on your cell when we get closer.

Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Some that is going to race I want to ask a big favor of them.... Last time I was at the track I had lets just say less then optimal time to stage my 5eat. Would one of you be willing to race against me and let me stage properly for one good flawless run? I don't want to be rushed at staging and as I know you can take as long as you want and you will still get a good ET, I want to try to make it a 'race' too. I guess I can ask this when we get there.

Magowin Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Ugh was hoping you guys would go next Fri I'm still in vacation freeze at my job so can't take off. I get off at 10 but by the time I get there it'll be at least 11 and everyone will most likely be gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do it Matt! But like I was tellin' you the the last time, what you want to do is pull up til you put out the Pre-stage light. Then wait for the other guy to stage, then you start brake torquing the car til you are ready, then bump the car forward til you put out the Staged bulb! Voila, you have manipulated the christmas tree in your favor! It still helps to have someone in the other lane cooperate. I can be that someone!

How does this manipulate the light in your favor? Looks to me by this you would be red-lighting. Help??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well you can't really red light on a test and tune night anyway. What he is saying is that you initial stage and start gearing up there then when the other guy stages you fully stage and the tree will start but since you are already in TQ break upon the initial bulb you shouldn't have a problem getting the RPMS up I am just afraid of trying to "bump" the car forward to full stage at 3700 RPM hahha. I think I might wind up blowing pas the whole gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Matt I'm down for racing ya! I'll even go easy on you. What time does everyone want to meet up? I'd like to be there by 6 but that's just me. We could meet up around 5:30ish? I'll bring my videocam and record some. I just need a new tape!

Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 Screw you pal!!!! I am stage II just like you now. No reason to take it easy on me. You have a much reduced weight car and a totally different setup that I know will be faster then me. I don't care if you or anyone is faster for that matter. I just honestly want a good chance to stage properly once and see what the car can do. Maybe you guys with the sticks will line up with me all night and just let me stage since you can rev up the RPMS WAY WAY faster then a power break can. That would be awesome for me!!!

Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 I am really hoping ot run great that night. I am going to try to waste some gas in the next 2 days to get it lighter. My hopes are for a 13.69 or better....... Think that is possible? Considering that many of the stage II MT's are pushing 13.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skubdu Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Your car seems to have the power to get down the track so it'll depend how good your launch and reaction time is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I think so. I honestly think(i know people will disagree with me here) that a a catless Stage II setup on a MT car with a good drive on a night like this friday will pull 12.9. I ran a 13.3 on a 97 degree summer day for crying out loud! I'm curious to see how it runs! We should meet up at 4:30ish then to miss the traffic. We'll actually still hit traffic, but we'll get there earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll meet up with you guys at the track then. No chance I'll get anywhere by 430. New job & all. Cant ask to get out early just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mblock66 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 I don't disagree with you at all actually. I still think that the stock turbo can get to 12.9 in this car. There was a stage 1 car that ran a 13.3 a few weeks ago. At stage II on a cold night that thing should easily be inthe 12's. I am not sure if there are any confirmed 5eats in the 13's yet but I am hoping to be after this friday. I am going to lose as much weight as I can for the event. Spare is coming out All weather mats out low fuel higher tire pressure and a little luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey jedimaster - are you going to see the opening of the Serenity (Firefly) movie or heading to E-town on Friday???? Tough choice huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChruiSSer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Come on guys we'll be there till 10:00!!! We will be metting on Rt. 22 right before RT. 287. I'm not sure the dealership will want us to all meet in their lot so maybe it's not the best idea . There is a fudrucker though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Dam dam dam, I was hoping to wait till I get the TMIC and intake with Protune (within the next week).
