Gateway Motorsports Park April 6th, who's going!? Haven't seen a thread yet and it's only a week away.

 

May go what does it take to run your car there. I don't have a cage or any thing?

 

Were planning on bringing out the blue car again

 

Well I plan to give it another try in the FWD class...maybe the car will start this time, and maybe I won't look like such a total idiot! i.e. Wichita

 

What fuel are you on?It was soo cold I had issues with starting to, i think everybody on Ethanol did haha. I missed the first round of qualifying cause no start. I am on E98, I sent a friend to the parts stoe to get some started fluid to spray in the manifold but he got stuck in that long as line n the way back in. Luckily the car finally fired up after about an hour of letting it set out in the sun to warm up a bit haha.

 

I will be there! Looking forward to some bracket class action!

 

Im on E98 as well. Yeah I really think I was having the same problems. Lesson learned there. Then I had a coil go down for some reason. Was a nice 6.5 hour road trip! I do think I have it all sorted out for STL, but will be brining some extra plugs and some way of getting it started or warmed up just in case.

 

anyone know if you can run skinnys in the FI sport class
i looked the rules over and it didnt really say anything about skinnys.

 

Yes you can run skinnies in FIS

 

Ok thanks. What class U gonna run?

 

We will see what the classes look like when we get there.

 

I'll be there running bracket again this year.

 

Humm don't really know about all the classes and **** I know my car is slow and I want to have a chance at least placing. I figured FI SPORT is my beat bet

 

Hope to see you in the finals!

 

Ill be running bracket too! See y'all Sunday.

 

Good times, went with a group of friends to spectate. Some quick cars today. Thanks to IFO and hope they come back. The drag racing is getting better each year. The reschedule hurt things a little I think unfortunately.

 

Updates?

 

It was ok.

I thought turn out was kinda low


I raced fis and my car broke on the starting line the first elimination
I got 4 passes in 2 qualifying and 2 test tune runs.

I was bogging off the line and falling out of boost between gears.
I am running a brand new set up so working out the bugs plus first time on a pro tree

I did run personal beat or 11.1 &137

Winner of fis was a ultra clean evo pte 64mm
10.5 &140

I was struggling with 60'the whole day and never for t try out the changes had a fuel system problem. Fuel rail fail!

Here are some pics

 

I thought it was pretty good, better than last year. Temp outside was much better. Got a personal new best as well 12.16 on this wore out 300K mile stock ls turbo.

The only thing that sucks about running bracket class is i didnt get to see hardly any passes from the heads up classes (bracket/test n tune get called to line up as heads up classes are doing work). Was hoping to see Luck4mrkc and $mike$ make some passes, but didn't.

 

Yea I saw luck4 broke down after a pass, my truck and trailer where right by the
Lanes. And tech inspection.

This was one of my second qualifying run

Nice NSX
