E20 opening day

[Steves LX]

This was a quote from Curt last year to me. Come on Steve...
Every squirrel finds a nut once in a while...
(I think you need about 3 more wins if I remember right to be at my level of lethal-ness!!!)...

Well I figure were only a month away from the track opening this year and I will go ahead and start stirring up shit now. I got my heads fixed and a freshenesd up bottom end and I say: Listen here Jack!!! I hope you did your homework over the winter because I did and I see it like this. You will be looking at nothing but the tail lights. Just like that country song by Clint Black says. Here in case your unfamiliar with the lyrics they go like this

Now I'm racin in the moonlight,
Seein' nothin' but the taillights
And that's a pair of taillights
I will see over and over again
Steve hit me with the left and right,
Showin' me nothin' but the taillights
And that's about as lonely
As the quarter mile's ever been
Back here in the pits with my log book out again

:rofl::rofl:

THAT was awesome!!! :lol:

[redfirepearlgt]

Red Sevine sang about "seein' nothin' but tail lights from phantom 309."

Look forward to seeing you make some passes this year. Never was down when you were running. You still sprayin or are you going N/A this year?

[12seclx]

I think Steve is running N/A for the first few months...

in which case, he'll be wishing he had the "juice" when I line up against him...

:lol:

I might be a little late gettin' out this year... "Snowman" is workin' his magic on the lower intake and cylinder heads... :eek:.... good luck steve!:lol:

Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine,

Red Sovine did an excellent song way back called "Juke Joint Johnny". I like this post. Very funny!

[KYGTP]

Not to get off of topic, but WHEN does E2O open this year?? Their site has not been updated yet, at least the last time I checked.

[JASON408]

from there website

OPENING DAY WILL BE February 27th for Tune and Test noon to 5 pm
( weather permitting).

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

That's good racing right there so long as the sun warms the track up a bit. There's nothing like some cool early spring air.

[DeckerEnt]

I now have a deadline to get mine ready.

Wow, if it was a sanke it would have bit me, right before I posted I looked at their calendar, and it had nothing on it, never thought about reading the small type on their home page:dork:

No doubt, warm track + cold air = lots of power

I can't wait. Just this past weekend I took my car out for a little drive trying to get some "break in" miles on it, and smelling the burnt race fuel really got me going.

[bestracing]

No it's like this E2O

Cold air + low DA = lots of power

Lots of power + first run of the season - track prep = Lots of wheels spin :D

[Stangman]

No it's like this E2O

Cold air + low DA = lots of power

I was gettin ready to mention the lack of rubber on the track in the beginning of the season :lol: ya beat me to it!

Very true, forgot about one.............

[Mista Bone]

Slickwater.

I know better than to try go out the first weekends....even with shitty FWD on slicks.

[JASON408]

shit its good practice :lol: if you can get down that track you can hook in a mud hole :bigthumb

[redfirepearlgt]

Woodrow Wilson "Red" Sovine,

Thanks. didn't feel like pullin out the album to get the spelling. LOL.

How in the world does a person hook at all in February on a cold track? Isn't that awefully early for T/T? Never thought a drag strip north of Nashville, TN would open before the last week of March.:confused:

[KYGTP]

Very true, I am not looking for any records at the begining of the season, just to be able to get out and have some fun racing.

Its all about making the money, even with the weather being questionable in Feb and March.

[Mista Bone]

Honestly, someone has to go out early and start building the groove up as well as cleaning off the track.

I've been doing this on Fridays at local RC track. Yes, it is oval racing. but someone has to get the groove started. I changed to a high rubber content tire because of this. BTW the floor temps do effect overall grip level. Running 4.2 seconds laps normally, with a cold floor you are lucky to get 1-2 4.4 laps then string 4.5 second laps for 3 minutes.

Off topic, yet racing related.

[black90lx]

screw it i'll be there on the 27th on the mike.... ive raced it in 25 deg weather one night. lol

[Steves LX]

Well I know my junk isn't the fastest in town but I know opening day last year I was pulling 1.57 60's. I think that should be just enough this year on opening day to put me right in front of Curt at the stripe.:D

[Stangman]

You're car just keeps gettin faster with all the more junkyard parts of mine we put on it :D

[firestang70]

Steve does Curt know that you are using my flux capacitor? You will flat out smoke him til 88 mph.

[Stangman]

And if thats the case... After 88 too!!! :lol:

I'm lookin forward to the flaming tire marks on the track!! :bigthumb

[Steves LX]

Steve does Curt know that you are using my flux capacitor? You will flat out smoke him til 88 mph.

I dont think he does. But I think between that and Jesse's kanuter valve off his dads van will be just enough for me to take the strawberry notch at the stripe. Hell if I get just the right amount of Fix A Flat in each slick and nitrogen in my skinnies, I think I might even be able to miss a gear and take 'ole Curt dog by the 1/8 mile. Well maybe not but it sounded good.:yup:

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Be sure to go with the halogen headlight fluid....it's lighter than the incondescent fluid. That alone will drop you a tenth.

[Steves LX]

Getting ready for Curt!!! This is a .500 sportsman Tree.

Steve I thought UMTR wasn't running a pro tree at all this year.

[Steves LX]

They aren't. That's a .500 sportsman tree like what KilKare uses that I have been playing with. So instead of .ooo being perfect .500 is. But I changed the settings back to how E20's tree is.

[Steves LX]

Here's the link to the tree Curt so we can even it up.

[Mista Bone]

Explain what you are doing with feet and button????

[Steves LX]

Explain what you are doing with feet and button????

My foot is the clutch pedal on the keyboard and the button is my 2 step

[Mista Bone]

nevermind.......third try I went triple zero.......using all defaults though......

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m307/bonespec/perfect.jpg

[Mista Bone]

My foot is the clutch pedal on the keyboard and the button is my 2 step

how did you wire up the second switch?

I've not factored the CRX's rollout or nothing yet....just need to get on a tree. They way my old car reacted I launched when last yellow was going off...would get a red bulb every once in a while.

[Steves LX]

I didn't wire up a second switch. I just went up into the preferences and changed the launch key and staging keys to the keyboard space bar. I then stuck the keyboard on the floor and used it with my foot. The other thing in my hand was a dust pan handle I was using as my shifter.

yea, yea, yea... Maybe we can talk to the starter and see if they'll give you the "go-ahead" on the tree by .2 and I'll see if I can get back around you.....

that'll be the only way you might be in front of me at the stripe... ;)

:popcorn:

[Mista Bone]

Opening Day won't be until mid to late March.

Great Miami will flood the track with all this snow when it melts.

why do you have a boot and a shoe on? lol

[Mista Bone]

That is his ass kicking boot!!!!

HAMMER DOWN!

[Steves LX]

I wore my boots that day because of the snow. I keep a set of gym shoes in my office for nice days. I didn't feel like killing my keyboard with my boot so I just reached over and grabbed a shoe and slapped it on to play the game.

[cobra429boss]

screw it i'll be there on the 27th on the mike.... ive raced it in 25 deg weather one night. lol

when i had a stang we always went on opening day.. I thought it hooked up well.. 1.9 on street tires in 40deg weather wasnt bad.

[331TwistedWedge]
