You really wanna get smoked don't you Wally?

 

looks like you haven't been to Irwindale in the G before haha

 

I hear ya Hexx I can't wait for the colder weather!! Have you done any test runs on your DRs yet?

 

Not yet but if we end up going to Cali Speedway on one of those Fridays, (for $100) I'll just do a few test runs that day before I really open her up and go for it. If not, I'll try to hit up Irwindale when it cools down some.

 

Had an awesome time at the track. Nice meeting you guys!

 

What did you run?

 

Times? Not really expecting anything spectacular with this SoCal heat wave.

As long as you guys had fun and Wally-Mike kept on going at each other...

.

 

the conditions were absolutely abysmal!!! Weather.com said it would be 76 by 9:00pm HA!!! Fat chance… our car thermos were reading 90-93…

I had a couple of 9.2+ but was avg 9.3s… a couple of 9.4s… Nothing really worked – I got to the point were I was even launching by break torque – even though the ECU was clearly cutting power initially, I managed to hit 9.2 on one of ‘em – but most of the break torque launches were 9.4… so I did my normal off idle.

Wally did pretty good – he actually managed to run a 9.18! Which was by far the best run of the night… He took every race (except 1)… Wally’s car is doing very well – in cold weather it will be @sskickin’!!! (too bad he won’t be driving it).

It was worth it to hang out and visit with Wally and Adrian? Andrew? (sorry dude, I forgot your name – guy with the Acura)… and to see Wally’s car doing very well… just horrendous conditions.

I’m done with racing in 90+ temps… my last LACR was 90+ at 9:00pm… Fontana 100+, now Irwindale 90 at 9:00pm… I think I’ve finally learned my lesson.

 

Oh man those conditions sucked!! Like Mike said even when I left around 9:40pm my temp. gage was reading 89-91 degrees!

I have a relatively stock 05 Acura TL 5speed auto. W/ just a pulley and a TB spacer, I was getting consistent 9.8s. I'm a bit off the normal pace for our cars (****ing heat lol) will definitely be going back when the weather cools down.

Again, nice meeting you Wally and Mike, btw my name is Shawn.

 

Nice meeting you Shawn! Always good times to hang around, race, and talk about our cars and ways to improve.

Shawn, PM ME your number so I can text you from time to time and let you know any other times we'll be at Irwindale or California Speedway. thanks man!


I ended up doing 8 runs for the day/night and I got there @ 5:30!! my first race was I would say 10-15 minutes at the very most! AND Mike and I could of done 1 last run around 9:40ish but we decided not to.

Until next time guys! Have a good Labor Day weekend.

 

Should atleast the MREV2 & HFC added to my current lightly modded 6MT, probably before Cal Speedway or possibly another Irwindale. So this time, I atleast won't be getting smoked by Wally and Mike

.

 

Damn, I’m sorry Shawn … I’m so crappy with names. It was good to meet you too… look forward to seeing at the track again!

 

Nice Henry! I look forward to your cars progress... it will be fun! Now that Shawn is doing tuning for the VQ you have a nice little incentive there... I would definitely go to him (if I didn't already have TS twice)...

 

niceeeee set-up Henry!



I need to remember to stiffen my rear shocks when i get home lol

 

Yeah. I think the UpRev osiris is too good to pass on. The TS is an excellent value & performance mod too, but I just think the Osiris has a slight upper hand over TS; Free flash updates, 5 maps for different tunes, flash via laptop/cipher, and most importantly, the cipher for data logging

As far as dyno tunning, I think I will probably just get the UpRev Osiris and have their tuner (Punkidd) do the fine tuning (free) via chiper data logs; almost as good as a dyno tune, except they can't adjust the timing to pin-point efficiency/aggresive timing like a real dyno tune. Once I add headers, TB spacer, and possibly cams, then I think I will head down to Church's since they are closest UpRev tuner


Just make sure you hold on to that G35 Coupe; I need to beat you atleast once before you get the 335i
