I don't think the stang will be ready for this. However Gross will be in town, so maybe I can talk him into bringing the porche up.

The plan is to bring it up, although it is short one key component. Anyone have a 23 spline transfer case they need destroyed?

Me and Gross will be there for sure. Possibly with a real loud porche, pulled the mufflers off yesterday cause he got a wild hair on improving performance or some shit.

I'm going early to open the gates and get things ready. I think we are going to run Evan's freshly re-powered BMW 325 for fun.

Will any of you be setting a up a caravan to the track? Those trips are always filled with some fun jackassery.

I've got some great news of additional entertainment for our Sunday event!

You can now expect to see a Jet car make a couple hits durring our track rental!
We will also have a number of 10.5" tire race cars and a Nostalgia drag car making Test and Tune runs throughout the day.
This is a nice bonus for us all to check out.

See you there!

Alright everybody...Today is the day!

I just talked to Cordova at 7:50am this morning and they plan to have clear skys by race time at noon. It's dry there now with overcast skies. All the rain is headed to Peoria. Perservier for great racing weather because we will have to probably drive through the rain to get to sunny skies.

See you there!

wish we could've made it, too late of a saturday for both me and gross. How many cars were there? Hope you had a good turnout.

On a side note, maybe we can hit BWW sometime before the end of the month. Gross in town till start of july.

Braving the weather? Psh, It was great out!
I set a new personal best after my auto swap, 11.4 and another 11.4 to back it up lol

Have to work on the tune to stall it up faster. Took waaaay too long. I played around with the tune today and didnt get anywhere sad.gif

Had a great time!


Good to see you again Hult... That is one of the sweetest looking 1G DSM's I've seen in a long time. Good to hear your numbers have improved. If you don't me asking, what was your personal best with the manual trans?

BTW - When I left peoria Sunday morning it was like driving in a hurricane. I assume that's why most from our area didn't make it. laugh.gif

Thanks for the kind words! Shes my baby lol
My best 5-speed time was 11.7, missing 4th once. I made a few passes that night all around that time.

That was the first and only time out with my "built" double synchroed, 4-spider diff trans. The 600 mile old clutch went out the next trip to the track. Needless to say I was a little fed up with the car and had to change something in it or I was gonna lose interest in it quick.
So I changed over to auto and absolutley love it, on the track and on the street.


I updated the link in my sig so it works now if youre curious about my setup.

A 3 tenth improvment definitely makes the automatic a worthwhile swap! Good job. I wish I would have gotten a chance to see your runs.
Did your MPH change at all from the manual transmission runs?

What's a built Auto trans cost?

Lord know I've spent enough coin putting manunals together.

I got the entire swap for $800 yeah i know i stole it lol, including a re-stalled converter. Trans, t-case, rear end, shifter, tcu (im not using a tcu at all now)

Building the trans cost me about $1600 and its good to run 9's all day long

By far the best money ive spent on the car. I absolutley love it on the street and on the track.

Im running a RoadSurge shift box. Push-button shift at full line pressure is fun smile.gif
