Just wondering how many are building cars for this class?

Steve

90 Storm Turbo (low 10's on a good day)
95 Neon- Sport FWD

 

your not that dude with the yellow storm are you?
sorry i just saw your sig and was curious becuase i talked to you a few times at the tracks.

 

Yep, that's steve, the man. Jason

 

hahahaah just wanted to make sure, i thught his name was steve.
Im not sure how the NHRA PrO am will be , But my car will prob be running the IDRC pro am class. . . . .i dont think they will let you guys in that class though. Its more for the street driven cars but allow slicks

 

Yeah, thats me. The Geo was a fun project but there was no way it was gonna be
competative in Hotrod or Quick. So I decided to cut my losses, sold it and am
building a new car for Sport FWD and Pro Am.

I'm hopeing this is gonna be a class that will have big turnouts.....

Steve

 

hmmm, hey I got you on tape running against me and my FROG a few years ago ... its gotta be you a yellow boosted storm ... you were running low 12's then and cut them 500 lights.

greg

 

Yeah thats Steve Storm, wow, HT is really jammed up with all the fast guys now, its just like one big happy family, just like at the track , except at the light

 

Haha, greg, i remember seeing you guys run at Etown once , first time i seen either of your cars, both suprised the **** out of me, damn, that was a while ago...

 

That was the best part about racing the Geo, most would laugh when they first
saw it. But usually not after seeing it run. My faverite times at the track were
the V8 street nights, nothing makes you feel better then smoking a big V8 with
a Geo!

Thanks for including me with the "fast" guys, not sure if I really earned it but
thanks none the less. I'm just another backyard racer....

>>>hmmm, hey I got you on tape running against me and my FROG a few years ago ... its gotta be you a yellow boosted storm ... you were running low 12's then and cut them 500 lights.<<<<<

THOSE were the days, I could run that car all year and never work on it. Then I
added more power and never STOPPED working on it!!

Rogers "i got whooped by a storm" story:
i remember a few years ago lining up against you. i felt good cause my zc was capable of beating some GSRs at the time so im looking really good out there. then i find myself lined up with steve. i knew the car was fast looking at the slicks but id never acutally seen him run. needless to say i knew i was in for a vehicular *** raping as soon as he did his burnout! i did my usual low 15 and had the best seat in the house for his 12.xx run!
i dont know if you remember steve but we raced in an idrc bracket final at maple grove. i think i redeemed myself that day.
and for sticking with that car for as long as you did and going that fast. (10.0 right?) welcome to honda-tech and see you at the track.
-Roger

 

Oh yeah, I remember that one. It still hurts just thinking about it!
You broke out by .004 or something and I was out like .008.

Steve

 

We are eventually going to build one as soon as we finish our current project. Right now we are trying to find a cheap chassis to throw our hot rod motor into, hoping to achieve 9's in Sport FWD!

good stuff dude, welcome to the board ... I gotta find that tape, cause a lot of people actually bet on you cause they knew your car was fast ... and they lost, we were neck/neck til the bitter end, and I remember in the video EVERYONE on the stands were on their feet.

*sigh* good ole days with boost.

greg

 

I about fell out of the bleachers in disbelief the first time I saw the Storm run up in NJ. Way to be original with that car.. big props Was it an Isuzu motor or something..? I remember seeing it.. or is that the factory motor for that car?

 

yea i rememeber my friend laughing when they saw it stage im like wtf you lauginh at and they pointed to the storm . . .i started lagunhing and said watch this . . . boom thing goes 10's and they almsot **** themselves. . . i was like I told you , dont underestimate

that car rocks.
i think steve told me it was an Impulse motor in it ? is that right steve?

 

I really think high 9's is gonna be what it's gonna take to win in this class. If you
think about it, that's unreal for a street FWD car. Just hope the new Neon is gonna
be up to it. It has alot going for it but I have to say this, in stock trim this thing
is a POS.

Now the Geo was a whole differant story, it's best run was on a stone stock Isuzu
Impulse bottom end. Stock crank, rods and cast pistons! The japanise seem to go
way overboard compared to the american stuff. The Neon stock might be able to
hold 250hp, the Geo was around 450, maybe more.

Steve

 

Thats an interesting fact. jeebus.. stock! cast! dang...

 

so steve you think you are going to be ready for this season? you still got the back up street impulse for bracket racing? See you soon. I am working on the Corrado as we speak....getting it ready for 150+ rules. We will see if we can do it with an 8 valve first. then more valves.

 

I have my fingers crossed, Forward Motion is helping me out alot so I have to
say a definite maybe for the first race of the year...

The thing is this setup is totally differant then what I am used to. Going up almost
a full liter in displacement should be interesting, can you say torque. Working out
the torque converter, gearing ,tire size, suspention, NO2 and the new Haltech with
it's huge pile of built in tricks is gonna take some time to get right. I hope to be on
my game by mid season. One thing that should help once the car is together is
being able to troble shoot things on the street, an inspected race car has it's plus's!


There's no backup right now except a street beater Neon, guess I could put a little
shot on it and have some fun.. Just about all the Isuzu stuff is gone.
