I'll be out as soon as Sheptrans sends my transmission back. Hopefully customs doesn't bend me over to badly.

STOKED that they are actually opening the track a few times this year. I haven't run this year yet, still working on some tuning, but I've been out there almost every single one! :)

Is the track still open? We should all go there soon, I'll try out the old 4Runner. Plus I can meet a few of you PG DSM'ers and check out your rides.

It was rained out last Fri. Should be open this one though, Aug 28th.  I usually work in the burnout box.

Yes it's definitely open this friday rain permitting.  I might be in the office registering racers instead of the burnout box.  Short brown hair, glasses, 5'9", North Central motorsports shirt, that'll be me.

Just got back from the track. I didn't enter my 4runner, its just to damn slow. Richard were you down in the burn out box the whole time? I signed up to volunteer for the sept 11 event. So stoked for that. Is the person with the white 2G eclipse on the fourm? Very nice ride. Also saw a white 1GB talon parked on the opposite side of the track, again very nice ride. Just being there tonight makes me want a DSM again soo bad its not even funny. Had a really fun time there tonight and can't wait to volunteer for the next event! and Mike, you need to bring your car out for the next event. ;)

I'm hoping to bring it out. Gotta change a CV axle and figure out my boost problem, just keeps overboosting :P

Mike, get more fuel and a good intercooler and or methanol injection.  Then don't worry about the overboost.

Got 680cc injectors, Holley 255LPH -6AN lines to filter(waiting on PM back for -6 filter and line to rail) Shane's old HUGE FMIC.

Car is in downtime right now awaiting all new gaskets, and lines, and small 16g(blown oil seals on 14b).. then we'll see what happens

Yeah Jason, that was me in the tower lane burnout box... they had someone lined up for the office and the usuall starting crew no showed, so I jumped in since I done it 3 x this year already. 
  John from Vanderhoof (white 2g GST) isn't on this forum although we should try and get him to join.  He has a 20g, aem wideband, greddy bov, mbc and exhaust.  Too bad he couldn't get into the 14's last night.  Real nice guy to talk to. 15.00 was his best I think.  I didn't ask him what his tire pressure was.  My bud who had to work Friday night has a SRT-4.  He dropped from 15.10 to 14.6 just by dropping tire pressure  from 35-30psi. 
 Jason, were you in the office around 9:00pm talking to the lady in the white shirt about volunteering for the first time? I was right behind you, waiting to get my 5 bucks back for volunteering.
 I think the white 1gb in the grass tower side was Ed Altizer who is a member.  I think he's saving for an intercooler and a clutch, pressure plate upgrade before he runs it.

the 2g with the 20g etc, its tuning, not tire pressure.  Hell even if the tire pressure took off a FULL SECOND(and its not gonna)hes still at least a second slow.  That setup should be able to go high 12's if driven properly.
