They told me they scrape it every July. I saw that bogged launch. Thought that thing was gonna stall. Track wasn't too bad when we first got there. I think we were one of the first down. Then they prepped it again and it was decent for a few passes.
This is true, but it would make it interesting. Good Luck spraying anything on radials out there. I bogged once on motor @ 3500 w/ no 2step right after they drug the track. anything time later and over 4k I spun pretty good. I have hooked better on bare concrete.
BTW car sounds good Trey

I might be in town for this![]()
Besides the issue of track's current condition, I think a few cars need a little extra time to get ready for this. We are considering pushing the event back a few weeks. I will let you all know ASAP.
---Event will be held at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Saturday August 18th. 5-11pm.
Well damn it, Ill be out of the country for this. Next time I guess.
Yes I was... CrippleGTO is currently rebuilding his mkiii supra and cuco has to fix the turbo civic. Justin hasn't tested his vette with his new modification, ect... We have had a lot of rain lately, not many dry days to hit the track.
We are also looking to recruit some more quick-8 cars but I had been too busy lately to promote for this race so the extra time will help to get more cars.
If for no other reason than more favorable track conditions, I'm happy with the pushback. I'll run my car regardless of whether or not my latest updates are ready to go.
krpytonite, now that the date is changed, will you be able to make it out?
Hmmm if I bust ass maybe I could make it out on motor for true street.
julio car is quicker it would not be good race.well not for me.people keep talking shit saying its a 10sec car and it was but i had alot of issues.headers had about 10 cracks,c4 tranny was shit,stock bottm end and crankshaft was being pushed forward wore out the thrust bearing tore up the crank had a shit load of blow by.clutches in the c4 were gone.stator tube broke.also had a issue with the 76mm running into back pressure.the car went 9s once and got slower.piece of shit tune with only 11 degree of total timing and i ran it on 10psi most of the time off the wastegate.with the setup the car should have went 9.6 on average on 93 pump gas.
the car went 10.3@ 134 took it next day to get tuned.car only made 460 and we turned up the boost to 16 and added some timing car made 581.took it to the track the next week cause it felt the same.long story short car went 10.2 @ 135 which is just stupid cause no way to pick up over 100hp and times stay the same.
i think i got fucked on the tune.i think the tune when it made 460 i think he took all the timing out and then added it back with boost to make the 581.either way that setup is gone and im building a new setup now.i know it sounds like excuses but i figured i would jump in since i had a buddy tell me people were talking about it
mph was 135 which is low for that setup.i talked to steve from crt like you told me a while back he took the c4 apart right in front of me.clutches were gone.stator tube broke in half,bushing were tore up you name it.he said i was lucky that ran 10s cause it was maybe a 500hp built c4.
new setup should be nasty new turbo,tranny same stroke 351w just better rods,pistons.i actually just talked to julio the other day abot getting a meth kit from him.

here are some slips i have the car seems to get slower and slower.turning the boost up didnt seem to help much.list of the combo below all the stuff is good stuff not the best but good stuff.car on 16psi should have went 9.6 at around 140

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...312001447.jpg/ these 2 were the night the car blew up.the slower MPH was the pass the car broke.

new setup is on its way motor is at the machine shop now.just looking at getting a tranny just not sure if i should go glide or th400 im leaning toward the th400
I'd go TH400 for what you are wanting to do. Like I said, try Larry Hart...I know you are St. Pete side..but it wouldnt take much if you get a core to build up to hold and you'll prob like it better for the street.
