Allright men! At Pacific Raceways in Kent Washington in the next 2 weeks theres going to be a meeting of the areas top import street racers for a track session. I'm organizing the thing through their website. Expect S2000's, BMW's, WRXes, and the odd boosted or swapped honda to show up. If you guys are in the mood to make a showing, let me know, and I'll post details. I would love to see some fast thirdgens facing off against their expensive hardware. Lets show em what torque is all about!

 

Pm me if you think its cool for me to tag along.

 

i'll just post the dates and times when it all is finalized

 

Getting street racers off the streets = good.

I have a feeling that they'll all be really disappointed in their times and just return to the streets though.

 

who the japs or the americans?

 

The street racers. The people who race on the streets. I don't think I can make it any more clear for you.

 

These guys arent too slow, I've run with them a few times. I'd say that anyone will be able to get a good run, their cars range from S2000's and M roadsters to civics and focusses. So wether you have an 11 second street monster, or a lo3 with the free mods and some headers you'll be able to find something to pick on. (an s2000 going down to a thirdgen would be great)

 

S2000's aren't very fast.

EDIT: Well, not in a straight line anyway.

 

yeah sounds like a good time but most average joes around me are just mild modded civics that run high 15's to 18's and love to race at that speed LOL i am sure alot of the guys there are the same way, just some punks that dont know how quick 14's are and think high 15s is fast. but i know there might be some serious guys there too

anyway, any one seriously wouldnt waste their time dragging a S2000. they are a much better platform for road racing and autoX. dragging is not there thing.

 

Plus you have to fry the clutch and break axles just to get a good time out of them. When your power band starts 300 rpm after a third gen would shift, it makes things a little tricky.

 

i was in a s2000 in my buddys dads car.. that thing seemed pretty fast i thought... then agian i have a LG4.

 

It's fast when you keep it in it's power band (6,000rpm to 9,000rpm), and it makes down right amazing power for the size of motor it has, but it's just not a good drag car unless you give it some more torque.

 

how much you think it weighs?

 

i'm guessing 2400lbs, abit less than like most civics weigh

 

s2k's ARE pretty fast, they just dont feel that way. We test drove one with an aftermarket exhaust bolted on, and it felt like a civic down low, but then once you *finally* pulled up to vtec in second and third it started to pullllll...

there will probably be a couple of em at the meet, one with a "new" engine, dunno what thats all about, he had 8k into his old motor.

and theres gonna be some guys who have added forced induction and or nitrous over the winter, they're filling up with 110 and going for broke.

 

so who wants to go? at least 5 or 6 of you need to show up to defend tg.org's honor

 

we already have a few coming, cmon guys! We need a good showing. I will be so dissapointed if I dont see you guys representing for us domestics. BE PROUD OF PUSHROD POWER!

 

LOL Yea tell me about it. They come out to PR & BR ( I live in Washington state & race at the to local tracks) & try to race with the Car clubs but race once or twice then never show their faces. & heck we have guys that race Mini Vans when their car is not running & these guys cant compete with us.

It was funny I was running 14.7s in my car a couple summers ago & dialed in a 14.7 & the honda beside me posted a 14.6 & ran a 18 lol

 

well these guys run from the mid 15's to the low 11's depending on who is showing up. Watch out for the black s4's, theres 2 of em running MASSIVE boost.

 

Thats great **** right there. says a lot about the mainstream import scene.

 

The only guy I have seen that sticks with it is Shawn J he has a Talon that he races that runs 12s

 

Not neccesarily. If the kid showed up with NO trial runs, then maybe. Otherwise it just shows that someone missed a shift and then gave up.

 

No what was happening is these guys thought they were kewl. I asked a couple of the kids & they said they put on a dial in that they thought was kewl. It was for the guys they were HANDING out the wins to .

 

i'll go.

 

well its looking like its going to happen real soon, like june first, or the first wednesday in june. if thats not the first. I hope all of you come out, the more the merrier.

 

Want to throw a 4th gen in the mix? None of my Thirdgens are ready to go, but my 2000 is ready to run

 

LOL I was going to run my husbands Z lol but if its the 1st I cant because I have to work.

 

yeah bring a 4th gen, theryll be s2k's to race, and maybe some awd cars that will give you a run. ALL DOMESTICS WELCOME!

 

LOL, the S2k at the track tonight didn't want anything to do with me, raced a ITR instead.

 

hey did you see the guy that Blew his own door off his car????

I had to chase one of the import guys out of one of the clubs parking places last night He was not happy with me lol. Import guys dont like me they think they can park or do anything they want at the track.

 

LOL, that was freaking hilarious when the doors fell off the car!!

Everyone seemed to want to park where we were parked at PR on Friday. Bunch of newbies or something...

 

So did you catch what kind of car it was?? Of course after seeing me you can see that I cant see over things that well. lol

Yea I am the one they normally ship after to chance the RI CE burners over to the pressure cooker (tell them to move the heck out of our spots) lol

See ya Next Friday?

 

It was a Pro Street. I wasn't anything odd that the door fell off, it barely had a door at all. Just it died before the 60 foot and then as they where pushing it back I think the released the hinge or something and the door came off.

 

Oh ok lol.
I guess I am going to go pass out on the couch for a couple hours then go to bed. See ya next week.

 

Probably not, I have soccer on Friday almost always, we didn't have a game because of the holiday.

 

Allright, wednesday, june 1st 2005. The day is almost here. Dust off the cars and be at the test and tune at Pacific raceway in Kent. I dont get off till 7, but I'll be there soon after. Be there or be square.

 

Think it is actually gonna go? Seemed like kinda cruddy weather here in Shoreline.

 

Yea its suppost to be just as bad tomorrow Plus I wokr tomorrow So I will not be there. Heck I might not even be there on friday if the weather threateds to be bad. Not going to waste the gas for something that might be an iffy if its going to happen.

 

i dont think i am going intell the weather is nice. sucks... i know...





BTW... Krazzycowgirl
