ATCO April 5th

[BlackBulletTSi]

Just like the title says, I wanna see who all wants to go up to ATCO this tuesday. From what I know its open night and Gates open at 4:30 I don't know what time they close though. My guess is later in the night. Anyway so anyone who wants to go post and maybe well all meet and caravan there

[Silverfc88]

Tuesday's is usually the gamblers race. They get priority on the track that night, but open for test and tune between brackets.

Friday is usaully open to everyone, unless its the high school challenge.

I would but I can't, I have an appointment that I can't miss that night. After this week I'm game.

[the mike]

Ash and I should be in for Tuesday the 5th. I doubt I will run, but she is running her car.

Anyone else? Any of the Chris's? STiChris and Criz, I would like to see how the 2 cars stack up against eachother. :devil:
Homer, any interest?

[WhiteFiveO]

they ussualy race pretty late into the night last time i went on a tues we were there intill 12. just to let you know though you may not get alot of runs in when i went i only got 2 in because the gamblers take up alot of time

[gtp power]

Dex, I can't go on Tueday i have class but it would be nice to get a run in before this saturday b/c is Pontiac day at E-town. :D Im going to go on the 15th which is a friday with some other grand prix. So if you want to go with us u can and if anybody eles want to go.

[stichris]

Tuesdays and Thursdays I am tied up until 9pm each day. I'm in for weekend or Friday races.

[Aaron]

I'd definately like to make it down some time. I won't be racing until I get the Supra cleaned up though.

Chris, if you ever go down please let me know. I'd love to follow you... if I can keep up :D

[TehWagon]

FYI - the earlier you get there, the more runs you'll get in. Last time I went i think i was there around 5:30 and i got about 4 runs in right in a row. Hope the weather cooperates!

[BlackBulletTSi]

The weather should be really nice out ;0 are you coming carwidow? Who else is going and where would people like to meet up to caravan down? Also how much is it I have never gone down there also I'll need a helmet if I'm not mistaken LoL I need to get one I guess.

[Silverfc88]

Last time I went it was like 12-13 for test and tune and 2 bucks to rent one of there helmets. Pay the front gate.Drive to the pits sign your paper and give the guy your drivers license and they'll give you a helmet.

Like carwidow said get there when it opens and you can get a hell of a lot of runs in. The track itself opens around 5:30. I've been able to get 6 runs in before it got busy.

[criz]

what time did you have in mind? I am almost positive i'll be able to make it!

i'd love to do a few runs with the base stage 2 map so for a baseline!

[TehWagon]

Yes - I'm going tuesday night- (CarWidow=Ash=Mike's girl) I'll be there as early as possible after work.

[Aaron]

(CarWidow=Ash=Mike's girl)

so no free tanks of gas for you? I'm confused. :lol:

[TehWagon]

Eh? Now I'm confused. :rolleyes:

As an aside, it's supposed to be 65 and sunny Tuesday! :rock: w00t!

[nickmahhh]

Well knowing me and having school that night, I most likely will skip school and head to atco. I'd like to see what carwidow's car runs and I gotta be tehre to make fun of themike for being....well...themike. :finga:

[Jeffros Spec V]

I should be there with my friend and his z28...I am not racing though..bald ass tires.

[IMPREZvWRX]

Anyone else? Any of the Chris's?

I might go, but I'll be sporting the 'stock' WRX - so I won't be expecting anything spectacular.

[Silver04STi]

I might head up there as well...depends on work..

[JasterM5]

I'd like to go watch. How much is it to spectate?

[IMPREZvWRX]

I'd like to go watch. How much is it to spectate?

$10

[criz]

has anyone ever ran with winter tires on? i'll be sporing the Blizzaks... i'm somewhat concerned about running with them due to what the track temps get to....

eh, i'll just do a few runs then

[Jeffros Spec V]

My ex girl ran her IS300 with snow tires on..couldn't do better than a 15.7...it sucks.

[criz]

well, i'll think about running then with the snows then... I'll have my potenzas back on later in the week... so maybe i'll wait until next week...

Mike, you ran the evo with our LM-25s right? how did they feel?

[the mike]

has anyone ever ran with winter tires on? i'll be sporing the Blizzaks... i'm somewhat concerned about running with them due to what the track temps get to....

eh, i'll just do a few runs then

I ran a few weeks ago with the Blizzaks on there. I babied it off the line(and had 3/4 tank of gas and a bunch of crap in the back). They actually stuck pretty good. Summers are on now though. :thumbup:

[TehWagon]

Not that i was all that fast then, but the first time i ran teh wagon i ran it with snow tires. Not bad- i actually liked the idea of them not being so sticky, what with the cardboard tranny and all... Run it anyway, Criz!!!

[Orbit]

Sounds like fun too me !!! I will go !!! now who wants to race? :finga:

[99SL2_Modder]

Sounds like fun too me !!! I will go !!! now who wants to race? :finga:

I will. From a roll, right? So I can at least see your car for a few seconds before it disappears....

[272sWrx]

i wish i could go on a tuesday, i have work and school allday.

[WhiteFiveO]

If i had some drag radials id go, cant hook for **** on street tires and last time i went i ruined my good tires so no more of that, im going to try to go down next fri the 15th if anyone wants to join

[IMPREZvWRX]

Doesn't look like I'm gonna make it.

[BlackBulletTSi]

So who is all going and who all wants to meet up? Since it is monday night it'd be nice to get this figured out asap haha

[UnderPoweredRS]

umm... i'll go

[karl]

i will be in the house! not runnin the car though

[99SL2_Modder]

I ain't goin. Can't afford to blow my tranny yet. =/

[UnderPoweredRS]

if I can scrap up some money I'll run but I'm only running 4.5PSi so i don't expect any 13s out of the RS

[the mike]

It is supposed to be a really nice day/night.

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[BlackBulletTSi]

Yes the weather is going to be excellent. What time does anyone wanna meet up(grrr wish I didn't lose my cell) Seems alot of people are heading up, also seems people are going at different times.I think what I'm going to do is meet up with SilverBulletRL at our work and then head straight on over to the track. Thats in Mt. Laurel if anyone maybe wants to meet there if its not like out of the way. I'll have a new tire on the RL tomorrow so I'll be running the car, it'll be kinda slow runs but it'll be my first time so yea :) anyway I'd love to coordinate all of the meeting up but I don't have a cell so it is kinda hard, if I do get a loner cell in the AM I'll post it up for everyone to call me if they wanna meet up. Also post what time you guys are most likely heading down to the track. Wow this is a semi big post for me, anyway I can't wait till tomorrow even if I have to travel there on my own I will be there so if you're there and see a blue satty thats me :) so don't be shy and come say hi, haha

[TehWagon]

I'll just meet everybody down there... when i'm not racing I'm usually parked along the fence by the pit lane fence - i'll be the slow-ish black rex wagon! :driving:

[nickmahhh]

I know Ill be tehre around 7:30. But my input doesnt matter cause I dont have a car to race. But it does have some mean spinner hubcaps that may impress all of you. ok maybe not, but im the dork who likes stupid crap and doesnt care what others think. I equals dork :supz:

Bad ass do you really have spinners :) LoL for some reason I actually like them, I like alot of visual stuff as long as its done nice..........guess thats why I have the few friends I do hahaha

[Orbit]

sure.. sure. heard that one before.. lol.. would be fun if you run. i am a bad influence. sorry

i am going to try and get there as early as possible. maybe 5 or 5:30..

i will be in the house! not runnin the car though


hey im in the mt laural area too.

[the mike]

More than likely I am going to see what the 240 will run.
Going to wait on the EVO til next week.

[Jeffros Spec V]

I'll be down there (not driving) but I'll be in my friends z28...with a good track prep he should hit 12's for the first time tonight :)


You may have seen the blue z28 at RR the other night.

[BlackBulletTSi]

Sounds good maybe I'll meet you all down there, it seems I may be traveling down alone :( SilverBullets g/f's bday is today and SL2_Modder just isn't goin to come. I may bring my cousin n his g/f. I just dropped my rim off at saturn to get a new tire. If you didn't notice the Blue Redline wasn't at RR the other night due to a damn pothole on my way home killin it. Oh well I should have my tire soon and put it on. I can't wait to go up there tonight :) haha I've been wanting to go for so long. Also are we sure they have T&T tonight

[TehWagon]

i think almost every tuesday is open to everyone- it's just you have to wait for the gamblers to run every once in a while. hence, good to get there early. but you could call the hotline if u want... let us know- i'm stuck at work - i'll call if i have time...

[97TSi]

If I were you guys, I'd wait till Thurday.
CarWidow already pointed it out, but Tuesday is Gambler's. You're gonna be lucky to get 3 runs in and that's if none of them decide to dump oil.

[TehWagon]

Yea it's both tonight- street and gamblers - I'm still going and getting there early... should be fine. Gambers doesn't start till 7:45.

[99SL2_Modder]

3 runs? Shiii...I went for a T&T on a Saturday from like 9-2 and only got in 2 runs.

[Aaron]

What time does it start? Are people there now?

[the mike]

Gates open at 4:30 I believe. If you get there early enough, you can run back to back for 3 or 4 runs.

[TehWagon]

racing starts at 5:30

[BlackBulletTSi]

I'm gonna try and leave as soon as I get a tire on the car. They are just takin a lot of time though.

[criz]

i'll go next time... i'm not killing the blizzaks...

summer wheels/tires go on this Friday! I dont suppose people will go again next tuesday?

[BlackBulletTSi]

GRRRRR I'll go next Tuesday, I still want to try and make it out there tonight but with the way its takin I don't know if I'll have a tire tonight which will suck cause I've been without a car almost a week. I miss driving my baby :( If I get my tire by 5 I MIGHT make it, figure if I leave anytime after that its pointless since the gamblers will be running

[the mike]

It's not pointless. It just means that you won't get 5 runs an hour in.
Fridays aren't any better with all the people and High School stuff.
You could always come down and hang out. :thumbup:

[BlackBulletTSi]

Yea hopefully I will just takin forever for a stupid tire lol

[Orbit]

so far, from what i have seen . there seems to be less people on tuesday regardless... but the weather is soooo nice out today who knows what will happen.

[Aaron]

criz, you could carpool with me. I'm not running either but have no clue how to get there.

Ianybody wanna give me directions from i95/rt1??

[TehWagon]

I'll do it publicly so everyone benefits (hope nobody posts this before me- what a waste!)
Take any bridge, probably tacony would be the best so you could link up with 73...
take 73 to Jackson Rd/Atco exit- it'll be a jughandle...
go back over 73 and proceed on jackson road for about 5 mi or so?
it's not too long after you pass wawa on your Right, atco's on yoru left, can't miss it.
www.atcorace.com for better directions!

[Orbit]

hey ash, what time are you and mike showing up?

[the mike]

I will not be bringing the 240 tonight. :cry:
Oil pressure sender decided to be a wanker and start pissing oil all over.

EVO it is. :roll:

No wonder I wound up on the next page...
Jamie, I am trying to get there around 5:30/6:00.
Ash is leaving from work, so she should be there early.

[TehWagon]

haha- wanker.
yep i s/b there by 5:30 ;)

[Orbit]

whats up with not running the evo?

I'll be there soon I just have to take off my hood vent backing plates and I'll be off.

[criz]

Mike, what have you been running lately in the 1/4?

[IMPREZvWRX]

I'll be there soon I just have to take off my hood vent backing plates and I'll be off.

Well, where the hell were you? I tried calling earlier.

[TehWagon]

I'll let mike tell ya himself- wouldn't want to steal his thunder!
My best time was 14.7 but i'm still disappointed w/my lauches... :roll:

[nickmahhh]

Should have driven it like its hot Ash! [/img]

[TehWagon]

haha- drive it like it's hooooot-- that's a funny song.
anyhoo, here's mikes info- apparently he's already done the 'press releaase' http://tristatetuners.com/viewtopic.php?t=405&start=45

[IMPREZvWRX]

Want the video?

Man, why u gotta be broadcasting my crappy lights!!! haha- j/k ... need practice :wiggle:
thanks for the vid!

My phone is off :-( that guy backed out on buying my hood so I could either pay my car payment or my phone bill... I left when the gamblers started. I got 4 runs in all in the 15s on 4lbs. with a 2.2 60ft. (wasn't launching just taking off fast) I'm scared that my stock drive train won't hold up to the abuse.

[the mike]

Mike, what have you been running lately in the 1/4?

Turned up the boost, ran a 12.934 @ 108.37.

There's more in the car. ;)

[Blaise]

WRX? Is it an automatic or something?

No, she's just new to the AWD game. She'll get it down eventually.

14.7 is pretty good, Ash! I'll have to show you my secrets to a good launch. It's all in the tire pressure! ;)

-Jim

[TehWagon]

BAH - Automatic! I wouldn't have gotten it if it was!
It's a wrx, but it's not stock- just some basic bolt ons so far, up, down, catback, intake, that's about it performance wise-

Thanks for the confidence boost, Jim! Tire pressure, eh? That's a new one for me- i'll be interested to hear!

[MuddyREX]

That was actually a nice clean run ash. Didn't bork the launch (or at least it didn't sound like you did) and some nice quick, clean shifting. You'll be in the 13s in no time.

[TehWagon]

I guess camera's do lie- or mayhaps i'm being just a little too critical of myself... i smelled clutch, let's leave it at that.... :roll:

but thanks just the same!

When do you leave for the big trip? You'll be missed!

[MuddyREX]

Well everything sounds good in the vid. With practice, you'll see your r/t drop and you'll get the hang of launching it.

As for the big trip? I leave tomorrow AM. Two weeks of 14+ hour days and big expensive meals paid for by my boss. :thumbup:

[TehWagon]

Sweet! Well, not to the 14+ hr days but free good meals are always a bonus! Have fun and be safe!

[Blaise]

BAH - Automatic! I wouldn't have gotten it if it was!

That should be good for mid 13s. Get that launch down! :cool:

[TehWagon]

I'm tryin! tanx ;)

[the mike]

It's hard to launch hard when dreams of stripped first gear running through your head.
Ask Jim about weak trannies. ;)

[MuddyREX]

I never had an issue with 1st gear. :banana:


But I stripped 2nd gear. :roll:

[criz]

hearin you guys rippin thru gears is kind of disturbing...

hope when they made the 6 speed they wised up

[MuddyREX]

I actually haven't heard of anyone killing the STi gears yet. The WRX 5spd is the weak one.

[BlackBulletTSi]

I can't wait to go up to the track!!! I'm tryin to go this tuesday also w00t

[Jeffros Spec V]

**** many..I've been busy since Tuesday..but I'll post the videos form atco up

[TehWagon]

you were there??? didn't see ya!

[the mike]

Yeah you did, he was in the jeans with the white undershirt. He didn't run, but was with the guy with the blue Z/28 next to me at first.
