Buying an EZ Up is easy. Its fitting it inside the Evo that is challenging.

I'll try my best. Launching the car I have no problem but shifting I do. I had been practicing no-lift shift few times and damm I feel for the t-case and trans but the boost is up there with minimal drop-off as the way I used to let the gas out and shift. I just hope it'll get into 4th gear like it did when I practiced. :-)

Man! You make me miss the times that I just started draging the car more than 2 years ago. I couldn't sleep and keep waiting for the sunrise so that I can make it to Carslbad (closed now). I thought I'm the only evo there but there were 2 other evos there before me, Tom (Smoggy) and Ron (IE Evo). It was the good times there, you get to run your car until it blows up...

I will definitely be there. Ive been waiting since the rain out in January! My plans are being there at 6 when the gates open. I HAD a cooler but the stupid drain plug on the side is broken and I cant plug it. I will be in the GG 9 MR with my buddy's White 2.5 RS WRX swapped. Looking forward to meeting a lot of you and have a lot of fun.

I think my evo is the white one in the picture above (stock, sunroof, shorty antena, running alone way ahead :-)). Yeah! It was a nice and hot turn out. We were having fun, chillin under the tent, forgotten about real life...

Most of cars ran slow due to the 148 degree on the track. I noticed that the STis can't even break into 13s. There's an ESX Subaru ran 14s all the time, I though it supposes to run faster than that due to the extra amount on top of it.

Smog's car is fast, 11.1 on the hot day. Great driver. Nice meeting everyone.

Tom@TTech
07-16-2006, 10:21 AM
Tuan: First, Thank you for the VN Sandwich. I ate every bite and it was the only food I had the whole day.

Yeah, it was REALLY REALLY hot. The local newspaper listed Fontana as being 109 degrees yesterday. I guess global warming is a beotch - LOL.* I'm really happy that noone's car had to be towed home. Thanks for the nice words Tuan. Good job on your MPH - 121.9 right?

JDM_CT9A08
07-16-2006, 12:49 PM
HaHaHa im the black evo behind the other black evo on your third pick :grin:. It was great seeing all the evos that showed up O0. It was WAY too hot yesterday, i had my hopes up on breaking 12's but i had to settle for a 13.02 time, my best all day. I did get a .008 reaction time though :grin: that made my day hahaha. But overall i had a good time just chillin.

Smog: No problem. What's the problem with the car beside the ic pipe came off?
I was hoping to break 11s but can only did 12.0 even. Maybe next time. :-)

07-16-2006, 02:09 PM
I was hoping for 11s but that didnt happen at all. Maybe next time I will realize drag racing in Summer is not a great idea. I see on the schedule that there is a street legal race in Dec... might be the perfect time. Hahah.

I did meet a few people there. Tuan, that was a good race... Maybe next time I might be able to hang with you. Love your car, it was a real monster. I'm sure you will get your 11s soon. Eugene, thanks for letting me and a few friends share your EZ up, it was crazy hot. I would have DIED if I didnt have any shade.

pog0: nice to meet you and thank for pushing me to 12.0 even, it's my best time so far. Look like I would run faster with good car/driver. Your IX MR is very fast for the mods (EBC, TBE, 110 oct and dynoflash), you must be a good driver.

mrcotija
07-16-2006, 09:46 PM
yeah, i believe my car and smoggy's car were the only evo's hitting 11's.. but quite a few of you guys were in the 12's.. so way to represent... i was even surprised with the pretty much stock evo's running low 13's out there....

i dont think i saw 1 sti run a 12..... but i could be mistaken..

i was the black wingless evo that ran 11.8 @ 119 mph a couple of times... with tuningtech stickers in sliver and blue...


nice meeting/seeing everyone there.. tuan, you'll be in the mid 11's next time, i feel it!

ran a 12.9 twice, missing 4th gear :(

i was just happy to break into 12s in 109deg weather :)

07-17-2006, 01:20 AM
I saw a few other people taking pictures, they must not have time to post them up yet 8). And i spoke to that skyline driver and he said the nitrous wasnt kicking in 3rd and 4th gear thats why he did so bad, buts its an RB25 it shouldnt need nos to hit good times, am i wrong???? Well i was HAPPY to see smog hit 11.1 right after the GSXR bike hit 11.3 HaHaHaHa :grin:. Ive met a few of you at the track or at tune tech im sorry im not so good with names :oops: but ill hit up the meetings a little for often O0.

Oh yeah I was the white evo rs.

Mr. B.K.
07-17-2006, 09:33 AM
We should definately schedule another drag event when the weather gets cooler. 148-150 track temps are doing our cars any favors. However it was nice meeting all of you guys. It was good to put faces to the screen name.

I'll definately try to make it to the burbank meets.

07-17-2006, 10:15 AM
Had fun meeting all of you. It was so hot I saw the Devil at that lemonade stand. My best runs were two 12.74's at 107-108 the rest were 12.8's 1.8 60fts all day.

Charlie, thanks for letting me borrow your helmet when I couldn't get to mine.

Tuan, thanks for the sandwich it was good.

Good times. I was trying to sort out my 20G-9-6 and new flash tune, but all I could muster in the damn heat was a best of 13.1 at 106 mph. :(

It was great to see a handful of Evos having success despite the heat. Cool thing about the heat is that the hotties came out with conservative clothing on.

Fontana is very strict though. Forget that it was nearly 150 degrees on the track, the crew would not let driver's run without long pants and required at least a T-shirt (muscle Ts and tanktops were grounds for not being able to run). I certainly understand the need for safety though.

so everyone had to wear pants for the dragstrip that day to race??? :uglystupid2:

kimletrim
07-17-2006, 11:12 AM
That is correct. In the staging lines, you could see driver's jumping out of their cars to put on their jeans, get back in and then do a burn out.

rino
07-17-2006, 11:23 AM
LOL good times. I was stuck at the light wearing the helmet and the doors closed because someone's car got stuck at the end of the track.. i was sweating my balls off. LOL

I was talking to the safety teams at the end of the 1/4 and they were saying the track was very dirty. I don't know if anyone noticed but none of the hondas broke any cv joints/axles that day. I had traction issues all day long.. something to note for the guys disappointed with your times..

Most tracks require long pants AND a long sleeve shirt in order to run, this is not unusual.

No one said it was unusual, just that it was strictly enforced. Let's just say the rule was a little uncomfortable in the triple digit heat, but I certainly understand the need for the precautions.

From the sounds of it some people didnt know about this (the guy who had to go buy some pants) or understand the reasons why (it slows down the burn time in a fire). Whether it's the drag strip or open track event you should expect this whether or not it's strictly enforced its another thing. Just an FYI.
