Atco/cecil Ftw

Demonicbird00 · 07-17-2006, 10:52 PM

35 ft wont make any difference.

atco and cecil are the same in times, both great prep and i nail the same times at each track.

e-town sucks. have to have mufflers, and too many rules.

but then again what do i know.

what do you use to blow off the lose rubber on the track??? a "track blower"

ive been going there for many years and never seen a problem with them keeping the track clean.

i guess a dirty track = faster track

please read before you click submit reply...

Read before I reply maybe you should know what your talking about first or read my post a little closer since you seem to have missed a key word OIL DOWN. Not blowing off the rubber.

Obvisouly you have never been to an import race at atco when you have cars breaking and oiling down the track, and then have to wait forever for them to clean the oil and whatever else people left on the track when they blew apart. Or maybe you never raced there when it was raining off and on, and you wait 2 hours for them to dry the track off.

As far as your statement about a dirty track = a faster track. Maybe you should go race on a really dirty track and maybe you would run some decent times.

As far as the kids statement goes got about 2 years on you there buddy.

theres the first problem. make sure the car is running and not throwing fluids everywhere. theres all the down time.

i think 12.2s on stock turbos and stock weight is very decent times.

who cares how long yourve been going to a certain track? if you run faster times at one track and not the other, well then you have your answer, and have no reason to go to another track.

if food quality is what your basing your track on, you better think of getting into a new hobby.

Spoken like a true domestic. The cars don't start off throwing fluids but when a car blows up or a trans takes a **** and oils down half the track compare how long it takes atco to clean that up vs e-town. There are always a ton of rotaries at ATCO and about every other one of them blow up and you have to wait for them to clean up the track. I would rather go to track that can clean spills up faster so I am not sitting in the staging lanes waiting to run, dying in the heat. Or make every car that races have a catch pan or engine diaper.

HickRocket1258 · 07-17-2006, 11:52 PM

Even Atco can still give you problems with the waterbox. You think about it even if you try to do a burnout it gets all on the undercarriage which will drip water into the path of your tires and possibly cause you to spin. So it always doesn't work when you do that. I also see it pointless when a fwd car lowers air pressure in the front and does a burnout. Still doesn't do them **** from spinning it seems like.

I think it is pointless when I see fwd cars lowering the tire pressure on tires that are made for autoxing. I don't see it pointless when they lower the pressure on DR or slicks. I run 7.5 psi on my slicks and 18 in my DR and cut consistent 1.6's on slicks and 1.9's on dr's.

NJGOAT · 07-18-2006, 12:04 AM

I just think it's funny that this is even being argued about. One would think after years of racing at both tracks that this would be solved. It's pretty well agreed upon that Atco is the faster track. If you just want to race and have a good time, than it doesn't matter where you go. If you want to go all out and have the best time possible than take all the advantages you can get and head to the track where people run consistently better times.

If you love E-town, that's great head there to race all you want. I'll stick with my hick mullets and leaf blowers and turn in faster time slips than you all day long.

Demonicbird00 · 07-18-2006, 12:09 AM

not like a true domestic. i have owned 2 previous DSMs, and drove/raced my friend's DSM. I like fast and tasteful cars, no matter what they are. if a civic can run 11s or 10s i can repsect that.

the fact that you said it was funny. but i am actually talking about every car that spills craps. its called PM (preventitive maintanance) ppl should learn that b4 talking their sh#t box there and trying to run.

PotenzaSub · 07-18-2006, 12:42 AM

wait a sec...not that it matter, but which strip is the one with the mullets? atco or e-town?

olmytsi · 07-18-2006, 12:46 AM

I'd say neither.

LS1LT1 · 07-18-2006, 03:27 AM

I might even say both or all tracks...drag racing (any auto racing for that matter) is generally a mullet attracting sport/hobby/activity and honestly I wouldn't want it any other way.

And for the record I've seen mulleted drivers behind the wheels of ALL types of cars, import and domestic.

Cutting a 1.707 on bfg drs isn't fast? How about full weight stock turbo/injector/intercooler no spray 300zx going 12.24? That's THE fastest time youll find with this setup.

You did say oil but you also stated about "leaf blowers" that's why that comment was made.

I never said anything about it being pointless if racing with drag radials or slicks on a fwd car. I just said radials.
By the way if you go to some tracks not all people are mullet people. There are a lot of hot girls racing these days haha.

And what did you run at E-town under the same conditions?
This is more a comparison between the two tracks NOT a "hey check out what my car runs" discussion you n00b.
