SAR on the 9th.

[NEARING]

Anyone else want to head out there? Going to go play with the T on the 9th. Got to do some tuning/seat time so I can spank me a G8GT later in the month.

Be the 1st time at the track with this car.

Maybe!
I also need to do some tuning. Be a good excuse to go.
Which car you taking?

86 T-Type

"86-T-Type mostly stock. For now."

Ah, the slower car. Maybe I won't feel so intimidated.
Trying to get mine into the twelves. Got a different torque convertor to try out.

With a converter you should kick my butt.

I'm looking for some 12.9x on Hoosiers. It's best to get there as early as possible. Track go to hell quickly after a few 4x4 trucks and FWD cars start showing up.

Pat,

Call me if you go out.. i'm took my exam last saturday, so I'm a free dude for awhile.

 

[TURBOTWIN2]

Will do. Was gonna do a little work on the car today but I don't like working in the wet. I told Mike I wouldn't go if it was raining Wednesday but looks like it might clear on out, so..........looking good.

If it dries up it will be a nice day for racing. In the 50's.

 

[Eticket]

Pat,

If you need a dry place. My garage actually has an opening! You can come over in the evenings - I will even supply left over beer. Going to start working on my junk. It WILL be running by Dec 31st.

 

[TURBOTWIN2]

Nearing: Yes, cold air is good. (Yankees are laughing cause we think low 50's is cold).

Eticket: "It WILL be running by Dec 31st"
So you claim!:biggrin:

Sun is supposed to come out this afternoon, so I better get it while the getting's good.

 

[NEARING]

Gates open at 6pm. I will be parked by the fence near the staging lanes. Going to make some pump gas runs first and then put in a bit of good stuff and bump her up a tad.

 

[TURBOTWIN2]

Sounds good. See you there with a 87 GN, has "Grandpa's Grocery Getter" on the back window.:biggrin:

Like there is going to be another GN at SAR. Think I've seen 2 in the last 50 times I've been there.

 

[TURBOTWIN2]

Just got back from the track. NOT OPEN!

WTF?
over.

 

[NEARING]

That sucked.

Yep, would have been nice if they had have updated thier answering machine, said they were open.

Classy little lime green sign on the gate "Closed due to cold"

I wanted to due some tuning. I'm getting a good bit of knock even at the lowest setting (other than valet) #2 on the Postons thumb wheel chip. Mv are good 800-815.

 

[TURBOTWIN2]

Strange. I have zero knock and O2 at 725-740. Was gonna play with it tonight. Friday night is Motorcycles, might try again next week. Oh well, it IS cold tonight, gonna freeze. Just think cold it would be without Global Warming.

Motorcycle nights blow. Sucks Sunday is an Import day. I'm going to get a new O2 sensor and see if it changes what I'm seeing mv wise on the scan master. I dropped the boost to 15 and still getting knock. The power plate helped but it's still too much saw 6.2 KR 800-820mv only 15psi on the way home from the track. May see if I can get the remote fuel press gauge on my GN mailed to me.
