I've been seeing more and more Tri-State members on this board, and I'm loving it. I'm throwing this idea out to those who might be interested. Why don't we set up a night (or two, or three) of racing over at E-Town, where our members can battle it out. This goes for all members, and all makes, all of them....

Representing LS1.com, we'll have some nice custom stickers specifically made for the occassion. The races will be on video, of course, and with mrr23's permission, will be "stickied" on the Kill Section, eliminating any doubt as to who runs what, and who will beat who. I already know who I'll be running <cough cough> EE1983 <cough cough>, and he better bring his A game.... ;)

We'll even have tuning sessions, for those who need a little bit of help, or who simply want to learn. I think it would be a great idea, as it will spread the word about this excellent website, it'll give quite a few us a chance to meet each other, and it's great entertainment for those who have no track access. They can simply download the races, and feel as if their there. Of course, there are so many more ideas to be added....

I don't want to hear it's too expensive to race there, as we can set such nights up months in advance. That's plenty of time to save for a mere three runs.... :D

Also, from a business standpoint, it's a very good opportunity to reach out to some of the local vendors around here, who are unfamiliar with our site. Umm, can you say, increase in sponsors... ;)

Your thoughts....?

How far are you from Stamford? I drove out there last summer, and got there and back in less than three hours. Mind you, I wasn't even racing any, and there was no traffic whatsoever. It sometimes takes me longer just getting there and back to Atlantic City, in the very same state, no less lol... ;)

The above is why I'm thinking a "Saturday" as race day, (as opposed to Wednesday and Friday night), as the gates open up very very early, and wrapping things up by 5:00PM gives us more than enough time to take care of whatever we need to). I know a few people who work there, so setting things up will be the easy part. Making sure our members are safe both coming, and going though, is what I want to carefully delve into with everyone.

Leaving the track a little before, or after 5:00PM (especially in the spring) is perfect for out CT members. It'll obviously stay light out until 8-9:00PM, and traffic on a Saturday, going towards CT should be very very light (Sunday would be an entirely different story though lol). Getting here is the easy part....

Of course, there are plenty of cheap motels here, it's just a matter of picking which one (for those who prefer to stay over night), then leaving bright and early the following morning. Listings as to locations, and prices, can also be provided, if need be.... :)

In reference to cost, it honestly depends on how we set everything up. Renting out the track, privately, would "sound" costly (not if we pooled though, we'd actually save more that way), however, you want to take advantage of a day in which other spectators will be there. The primary objective, of course, is to have fun....

I recommend setting up our own "location" in the pit area where everyone will initially gather. We'll have our own designated runs, which will be recorded. Each member will have a chance to introduce themselves, and their cars. A DVD is in order, and the special features will embellish on each runner. Tuning, tech help, will all be there, exclusively. The fuel, as well as the racing will be the easy part. It all depends on just how far we take it....

To watch, any spectator can expect to pay around $15.00, to watch all day long (plenty of food and drink). To race, its about $35.00 for three runs (the prices vary according to the specific day). Like mentioned though, if planned months in advance, it can easily be saved for. The park doesn't really have to do anything specifically, only host us. We're doing all the work, and paying as if racing independently. Unless we plan it a different way, of course.... ;)

I honestly already expected you to come and represent the LS1 crew. I caught a pic of your Trans Am the other day, that is one sweet ride you got there. It's going to look even sweeter while hauling @ss down the track... ;)

Mike and the other New Jersians as well. We need to pick a day that is honestly good for everybody. If anyone has ideas regarding LS1.com stickers, or is a good designer, by all means, chime in. Should definitely be a group effort... :)

That's a very good point. From now til then, I'm sure many of us will be adding to our set-ups. I'm pretty much finished with my '98, save for a ProCharger, but I doubt I'll have it on the engine, let alone in my possession, til the end of summer. The '92 should be ready by then, so I'll more than likely be running both of them...

Also, just to throw this out there. For simplicity, why don't we just run what we brung, heads up. Lets not worry about different time classes, as nobody is expecting a twelve second car to pull on a ten second car. However, a poor launch and 60 foot can reduce one's ET greatly, so nobody should be surprised when they see slower cars running quicker times than faster one's... :)

Quick update...

Quite a few local racers expressed an interest to me, and would just love to come down to challenge the LS1.com'ers, or as they put it, hand us our "@sses" (this one guy with an extremely fast Porsche is dying to take on my stock looking '98. Boy is he in for a freaking surprise)....

Mentioned in passing to some of the Import guys who work at one of our local Exxon's, heh, looks like we won't be racing ourselves after all guys. 9:00am - 5:00pm might not be enough time, as the Import crowd alone are a good thirty to forty cars, ready to throw down I might add. Might not be able to race each and every damn one, but will definitely get as much footage on video as possible. Looks to be a very interesting year.... :yup:

This is why we plan it months in advance. Your girl will have an awesome time, as it's a relaxed environment (despite the constant sound of engines screaming to a gazillion RPM's). The weather should be ideal, with the food being even better. I'm really hoping to meet up w/all you guys... :)

The stock video footage will obviously be transferred to DVD after everything is edited. I wanted to get some opinions as to how you want to see the runs. The pit area is a given, as each members car will be entirely covered from bumper to bumper. But as far as the runs though, we have two video camera's, and my buddy agreed to record with the other one for me....

I'm thinking two camera's on opposite sides of the track, a little after the tree, facing the burn out boxes. The edited version will show each racer burning out from their own respected angles, then when finished, and both drivers approach the tree, we'll have one 'constant' stream all the way down the track...

It's honestly still in a preliminary stage. Again though, the bottom line is that we have a good time. Believe me when I tell you, getting local LSX owners to go will be very easy, as most of them will honestly be there already. When you come, your going to see a lot of these people (http://challengevideos.com). I'm really more concerned with filming our local members, and sharing with our other members.... :)

It's all in fun though, it doesn't matter who's matched up against who. The idea is to get some of our members together, have some fun racing, video it, and have LS1.com host the final result. I'd honestly like to see you and Wes going at it (I'm sure I speak for many when saying that)... ;)

EDIT: What car is that in your avatar? Looks like old Callaway Vette...

You are correct. That's a very rare Calloway Twin Turbo vette known as "Sledgehammer". Easy 10 second quarter mile times, and top speed of 250+ mph....

Seriously, even if you out-mod him, it would still all be in fun. Remember though, a lot of it has to do with your reaction time, launch and sixty foot. You might run a better ET than Wes in the end, but if he gets there first (despite running a slower time), he wins. We definitely won't be bracket racing, that's for sure, it'll be heads up.... :yup:

True, I even contemplated posting this with the other forums I'm affiliated with. The problem though, is it might get out of hand. There are going to be tons of Imports and Domestics there already, so from a competitve standpoint, it's more than a given. The real concept though, is to get some (I'm being realistic) of LS1.com's members there, introduced, filmed, documented, and shared with our other members. If it turns into something greater, that would be excellent, but getting some of us racing against each other is the idea. It would be healthy for us, collectively, and even more healthy for the website... :)

Definitely guys, it's going to happen. At least ten LS1.com New Jersey members are down, and I'm sure the others that are stretching across the tri-state are contemplating it. I haven't continued this thread because I'm trying to set something up with Raceway Park first. Something similar to "Mopar vs the World", but of course, embellishing "LSX vs the World"....

I also scrapped (well, delayed, anyways) the Gale Banks TT concept on my '92. That build is very costly, and I'd much rather get my hands on a ProCharger by mid March for the '98, switching to Speed Density, then spend a few weeks testing and tuning her. Hoping to get her in the high 9's when all is said and done (w/traction, of course).... ;)

NJFBOA.org are too scared to race heads up, they'd much rather sit there and twiddle their thumbs, while PC racing against each other. They don't have the nerve....! :O

Man you really are cocky, aren't you?? Seems that all import owners are, I'm not surprised at all.

Whats funny is I could just as easily get a Heads/Cam package, bolt it on, and destroy your ricebox like its going backwards. But what would that prove?? That my car is faster than a piece of shit econobox?? Thats pointless for me, and a waste of time.

You just keep dumping money in that piece of crap, its funny for me. Make sure you come on here and tell is when the transaxle and transfer case blow apart all over the road. Oh yea, and in case you haven't realized by now, turbo lag isn't your friend. Hence the reason I'll never own a turbocharged 4 banger that sounds like a weedwacker, or anything Nipponese for that matter; its just pointless.

I'll race anyone at the track for fun, and if I do race you and you happen to beat me, don't think you're on top of the world. My car is practically stock besides the gears, so its no big achievement for you if you edge out a practically stock LS1 by a few tenths with your riceburner that has thousands of dollars invested in it. Thats not something I would brag about.

Why is that statement cocky? I said we wouldnt be a good matchup because I have more mods than you. "Eding out" a stock LS1by a few tenths? Umm last time I checked you were the one running mid 13s and I ran 11.9 last time I was at the track. Thats on pump gas too. Thats a full second and a half quicker, not mention 10-12mph faster.

Also, since when do you "easily" get a head/cam package and "bolt it in" and just go. Last time I checked they are a couple grand, arent considerd a BOLT ON and take some time to install, then you definitely need a tune, along with some headers. Not exactly installed using a screwdriver and a rachet. But thats besides the point. Youre going to need some tire to hook.

Kind of like how if you bolt in that H/C package youll need a new rear since that cant handle the power LOL.

Dumping money? I have all bolt-ons and pair of cams. I spent $400 on a clutch after the stocker kicked out at 52k. Thats dumping money huh? Comeon already, just quit that. Also, you need the head/cam package now to beat me? I thought you could do it with hardly any mods because Im a 4 banger? :zzz:

Youve been set on my transfer case blowing for quite some time now. Funny myself or any of my friends with 400+ EVOs have been just fine. Im at almost 70k miles with plenty of launches. So.. whens it going to happen? Keep using that as an excuse, see how far that gets you :zzz:

BTW, doesnt seem like you enjoy any competitiveness. Everytime you write something on here is sounds like youre about to shit yourself your so mad. Relax a little man. Just remeber, I said we wouldnt be a good matchup and Im right.

With headers and an exhaust I'll be in the mid 12's. Thats only a half second difference, and there's no guarentee that you're going to pull an 11.9. In fact the odds are against you. I ran a 13.4 with a 2,000 RPM launch, feathering the clutch. And I was pretty much stock. You ran an 11.9 (or so you claim) launching at redline and frying your clutch. 10-12MPH faster?? Who are you kidding?? You're not even in the ballpark.

Also, since when do you "easily" get a head/cam package and "bolt it in" and just go. Last time I checked they are a couple grand, arent considerd a BOLT ON and take some time to install, then you definitely need a tune, along with some headers. Not exactly installed using a screwdriver and a rachet. But thats besides the point. Youre going to need some tire to hook.

I can get a set of brand new Stage III LS6 heads for $1200. I could bolt them on in a day, and I'd be pushing at least 380HP at the wheels. Couple grand?? Nahh, sorry, its not some piece of shit improt that costs thousands of dollars to make fast. Not to mention, weren't you the one that claimed your cams were a "bolt on"?? But now that we're not talking about Evos, everything changes. I already have headers on the way (learn to read) and a tune is not a big deal.

Now Mr. AWD is going to preach to me about tires?? As if you know anything about RWD traction. I already have Eagle F1 GS 285/40's, and when its warm out they provide plenty of traction on the launch.

like how if you bolt in that H/C package youll need a new rear since that cant handle the power LOL.

Right. There are guys in the 10's with the stock 10 bolt. Its all in how you treat it. Whats funny is the 10 bolt is about 3 times the size of your Evos differential, see our cars have this thing called "low end torque", doubt you've ever heard of it, and it tends to snap things when driven in an abusive manner.

Dumping money? I have all bolt-ons and pair of cams. I spent $400 on a clutch after the stocker kicked out at 52k. Thats dumping money huh? Comeon already, just quit that. Also, you need the head/cam package now to beat me? I thought you could do it with hardly any mods because Im a 4 banger? :zzz:

Right. As if upping the boost with an MBC doesn't play into the equation. Save your bullshit for someone who cares, the point is you've dropped a few grand into that car in order to hit low 12's. Dollar for dollar, and F-Body will stomp your ricebox into the ground. Funny how you like you challenge a practically stock one like myself, instead of someone with some mods that are on par with yours. Obviously you'd get your ass kicked, which is the reason you don't.

I can't just turn up my boost instantaneosly like you can in your little riceburner. Even with Heads and Cam, I'd still have less money invested in my car, and it would be just as fast. Not to mention I'd have a respectable trap speed in proportion to my ET, unlike your AWD econocar.

Youve been set on my transfer case blowing for quite some time now. Funny myself or any of my friends with 400+ EVOs have been just fine. Im at almost 70k miles with plenty of launches. So.. whens it going to happen? Keep using that as an excuse, see how far that gets you :zzz:

Do you not read what other Evo owners have to say?? Its a common occurance for Evos to blow transmissions and transfer cases. Just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. My 10 bolt is fine, does that mean it can't and won't ever blow?? No, you're just ignorant and won't accept the fact that your precious Evo isn't indestructible. I'd laugh my ass off if you launched at Englishtown and puked your transmission all over the track.

You need to use some common sense. I know it will be hard seeing as you don't have any, but you need to try. See, the Evos transmission is about the size of my rear differential, yet its got 5 gears and a differential in it. A transmission's strength is directly related to how large it is, since smaller components can't take as much stress as larger ones, given the same materials. Its simple physics, you obviously don't understand that though. Just because yours hasn't broken doesn't mean you aren't on borrowed time, or that its invincible. Your car isn't built for dragstip duty, 6K RPM launches, or pounding gears. Mitsubitchi took the piece of shit lancer and modified it to go around the twisties, not challenge F-Bodies at the track and end up breaking.

BTW, doesnt seem like you enjoy any competitiveness. Everytime you write something on here is sounds like youre about to shit yourself your so mad. Relax a little man. Just remeber, I said we wouldnt be a good matchup and Im right.

I don't enjoy ricers like yourself coming on here and bragging about how your highly modified Evo can beat up on practically stock F-Bodies. You act like your car is better just because you've wasted thousands of dollars to make that POS fast. Good for you, I still think your car is a complete waste of time and money. Not to mention it sounds like a weedwacker is is built like crap.

Whats funny is the 10 bolt is about 3 times the size of your Evos differential, see our cars have this thing called "low end torque", doubt you've ever heard of it, and it tends to snap things when driven in an abusive manner.







I ran 11.9 with a 1.82 60" with a 4000rpm launch. Rev limit is 7900, I do not launch anywhere near there.

You went 106mph. I went 118mph. 118-106=12mph. Looks like youre way off.

You can get heads for 1200 OK... what about a cam, and Id say a tune is pretty necessary to really get the most out of the setup. Thats over $2000 no doubt. You need to brush on some math.

Either way, lets stop bickering, Ill see you at the track. Better get those head/cam or a 150 shot to make up that 12mph or more, because I wont be on pump gas.

Most of your time is in your launch, obviously. I'm sure if you lauched any higher the entire drivetrain would grenade. Like I said, your diff is the size of a grapefruit.

You went 106mph. I went 118mph. 118-106=12mph. Looks like youre way off.

That was my first time at the track. I took off at 2,000RPM. Your car would have stalled from taking off that low. Track temps were over 100 degrees, and my car was still mostly stock besides 4.10 gears and a shitty 80 series muffler. Once again, way to compare your highly modified ricer to my practically stock Muscle car.

You can get heads for 1200 OK... what about a cam, and Id say a tune is pretty necessary to really get the most out of the setup. Thats over $2000 no doubt. You need to brush on some math.

A cam isn't required when you change the heads. Unlike you, I need my car as a DD, I can't have it surging at low RPM's from an aggressive cam profile. And even if I did get the entire package, LS6 Heads, Cam, and Hardened Pushrods, it would be $1500 from Texas speed. And Like I said, which you didn't bother to read, a tune isn't a big deal. I can have someone with HP Tuners or LS1 Edit tune for a couple hundred bucks or less. Thats not over $2,000 there genius, maybe you need to finish high school.

Either way, lets stop bickering, Ill see you at the track. Better get those head/cam or a 150 shot to make up that 12mph or more, because I wont be on pump gas.

Don't plan on seeing me at the track. I don't like you, I don't like your car, and I don't like your attitude. I'll be hanging out with the F-Body guys, I hate ricers like yourself.

Funny I guess you dont race often, just talk. My mph was 118. Which means I could have gone mid 11s with a HARD launch.

I didnt say it was required but we were talking about doing a head/cam package. Wow so youd spend $1800 or so... $2000 was an estimate, relax and stop trying to insult. Im a college graduate thanks.

EE1983, I have a really good match up for you in mind, and it's something that quite a few from another board will want to see as well. My buddy runs a Third Generation Camaro, w/3.1 Turbo. His old time was 12.6, w/16 pounds of boost (I don't recall mph), and no stall. Now, however, he's since upped the boost 'some' (hehe), and installed a 4000 stall speed converter. Haven't seen it yet since the upgrade, but from what I'm hearing, its definitely running in your range. A very cool guy to boot... :)

Lakewood, EE1983 is absolutely right. Although my camshaft will make very good numbers with a Procharger, it is not specifically tailored for boosted applications. For the amount of boost that I will eventually be running, a cam with much less overlap is definitely in order.... ;)

Providing the weather is good (supposed to be sunny this weekend), Dave is running his boosted Camaro this weekend over at Raceway Park. This would be a very good time to meet up with us, as I think he's scheduled to race a Honda Civic claiming close to four hundred WHP...

I'm not racing this weekend, as I'm saving it for this event. However, this would be a great day to meet up with us, meet each other, and discuss the upcoming event in even greater detail. Also, for those running a fourth generation (and third) F-Body, and are contemplating a turbo system, this is your chance to see one first hand, as he specifically designs them for these cars...

Jeez-louise, time really flies. Had no idea you blew up that motor from last year. Either way, thirteen seconds from a bone stock 3.1 V6 needs to get on tape. LS1.com's event will be in a few months (preferrably Summer), so I'm sure your new engine will be in and ready to go.... ;)

Also, lemme know if you need that ignition module. When I pulled the 3.1 from the '92, it's been sitting in my garage since. I'm actually considering throwing it back in, and seeing what it will do... but I've been collaborating with a few people for the last week via e-mail, and the ProCharger for the '98 is as good as purchased.... :D

Hey Mike. We both left at around 12:45pm, but I came back not too long afterward with my buddy in his 07 Eclipse. I have a lot of races on video, and even more video of the pit area....

Both Dave and I were helping this one guy earlier in the day, a Black third generation Camaro (but with a body kit), that resembled "The Wraith". Guy needed help, big time, so Dave and I helped him adjust his TV cable for the tranny (was way out of whack), and also noticed he had no timing advance whatsoever. You might of seen him, he was the guy running in the 17's.... ;)

Place was PACKED even before they opened. I got there at 9:30am, but didn't get inside until 10:45 lmao. There were EVO's everywhere, with those Civics pulling in around noon. Oh my goodness was that place mobbed.... :yup:

All I saw LS1-wise were some Vettes, 2 Firebirds, & 1 Camaro (That ran 18sec)... I saw some LT1/4's that did pretty good (Mid 13's). Did you run anything?

I initially paid to race when I got in, but a lot of my friends were running late though, and I went there with the wife's car. My friend with the '95 GSX was so frustrated (he was behind me in line), I seen him back up, and pull away. I then got a text from him that he would be back once it settled down, but he came back when eliminations were just starting (I don't blame him)....

Earlier in the day, there were quite a few LS1/LS2 GTO's, a Pace Car vette, C4 vette, and plenty of old school muscle. They were destroying everything in their paths, in fact, they were the only true outlaw class there. Did you see that White 80's Porsche? The one that ran eleven seconds flat? I spoke with him later on in the day,and he was running only 10 pounds of boost. Said he'll be running here all season long, so one of our members will have their hands full with this guy.... :D

I HATE bracket racing. Although, individually, it's a good drivers test, but I just hate the concept of it. I'm a heads up guy, run what ya brung. Didn't want to come back and run my car against some fifteen second Civic, with the Civic winning because I either red-lined, or ran faster than my quoted time. My buddy ran though. He didn't win, but he threw down some decent numbers. Averaged eleven seconds for the day.... :)

Dave, the 3.1 is going back in my '92. I have an itch to build it, but I have to take my time though as my ProCharger needs to be attended to one it arrives. I'm switching to speed density on the LS1, and need to get things right, in respect to tuning, so the 3.1 will be a slow process, but will happen....

You should have ran Dave. Your car seemed ready (but then again third gear wasn't realized in the back, there was no room of course). Despite that, I just loved it when the Import crowd would gather around your car and ask questions. Way to represent! Had it been "heads up", with you actually running, I think you might have taken the outlaw class... :yup:

However (Lethal takes a quick look around the room), I have a CheaTR cam in her car, and she has absolutely no idea lol. Had the cam lying around the garage, so I just installed in there a few months back. The only other mod on that car is a lid. ;)

We'll be down there on Wednesday night, I just need to see what time I'm scheduled to work that day. If I'm scheduled late, should get there by around 8:00 - 8:30. I just got back from the store, and their are cars being trailored over there today. Too out of it for today though....

Wow, yea there were Evo's, Civics, & alot of SRT-4's... Did you see the one black SRT-4 w/ the sticker of the guy pissin on the word "Evo", he's got some balls! I saw the white Porsche run but they didn't post his numbers on the board. I also hate bracket racing only because they truely aren't getting on it... I only saw people break into the 9's as I was walking up from the parking lot. Oh yea, that low 13sec Chevy Diesel truck & Hummer were freakin awesome!!

A lot of guys were posting no times, which I also find to be so very useless (that's what Wednesday and Friday nights are for lol). That spanish guy driving the white Porsche showed me his timeslip, and that's when we started getting into boost. I have a thing against Porsche's, I HATE them. I once had a C4 Corvette, also dubbed "Street Lethal", and I lined up with this turbo Porsche once (quite a few years ago). We both completed our burn outs, and pulled up to the tree....

Announcer immediately emphasized on the loud speaker, "this Corvette is going to get his doors blown off", and I'm thinking to myself, "geeeet the *uck outta here". Suddenly, the tree dropped, the Porsche spooled, and finished with a 9.4, to my 11.3. Ever since then, I've HATED Porsche's.... :mad:

When I got back there the second time, I was mainly in the pits filming, didn't really hit the stands much. Your right though, there were a ton of EVO's and SRT4's there. What was really hilarious though, was when they started swapping announcers. The races were being described in Spanish LMAO. I felt like I was in another freaking country, for crying out loud. Was a really good time though. However, tis just the tip of the iceburg.... :yup:

Thats the point I think I would have demanded a refund and walked out. Thats ridiculous, we speak ENGLISH in this country, people can either learn it or get the hell out.

^ I know guys lol. It's not enough that Toyota has to be the "new" sponsor for the next couple of years here at Raceway, but must they throw in spanish speaking announcers into the mix? LMAO! :rolleyes:

I can understand how you feel bro, and I agree with you, believe me. However, I will never let ANY group of people take me away from what I love doing most. I can guarantee you that the park did what they did, reluctantly, because it was a "street wars" event, and about fifty percent of the racers didn't understand English.... ;)

Its true man, I dont like this press 1 for Spanish either. Our ancestors came to this country and had to speak/learn English in order to function here. Now we are catering to Spanish speaking people. Ridiculous.

EE, let's not even delve into that bro. I totally agree with you guys, but such a problem is way beyond Raceway Park's control, it's a political problem. Anyways, we're headed back their Wednesday for a couple of runs, anyone interested in a little test and tune session... :D ;)

Was really hoping to meet up with you there. Thought for sure you'd be there, but I did not come across one blue Evo lol. It was a good time nonetheless, aside from the little things mentioned. Hope my wife doesn;t read this, but DAMN, some of the chicks that were there were, well, you know what I'm getting at lol.... ;)

LOL Thats funny man. I wont be able to make it to the track until after April 17th since I work Saturdays. My car is apart anyway and I never have time to work on it (or I dont feel like it when I get home anyway)

Mike actually called me while I was at work and said he thought he saw me run so there had to be at least one blue EVO there!
