[Extremedsm]

I will be there!!!

[DSM Girl]

I will be able to attend this event. I will also be needing some help changing my wheels on the Evo at the track that morning if anyone can spare some time.

[Dizmm]

^ changing wheels? do that the night before.

[DSM Girl]

I was told I shouldn't drive on the tires to Marshfield.

[Dizmm]

I was told I shouldn't drive on the tires to Marshfield.

why, are they showing cords?

[Deadly_Evolution]

Probably won't be there.. won't have my EVO after next Wednesday.

[TomKat]

Probably won't be there.. won't have my EVO after next Wednesday.

Huh?

[TomKat]

I will also be needing some help changing my wheels on the Evo at the track that morning.

Yeah we can help. Just don't jack up the car on the track pavement. Do it on the concrete in the pits.

[devlish]

Probably won't be there.. won't have my EVO after next Wednesday.

Huh?

he said HE WON"T HAVE HIS EVO ANYMORE.

get your ears (or eyes) checked out old man!

[Getsideways]

Nice shots

[Draven8795]

Well sh!t I wont be able to make my run at the title at this event. Just found I need to drive to Missouri to help my dad with some outpatient surgery which is obviously more important but sad to miss this event.

[VPT]

lol

[Extremedsm]

Keep your hands in the car jackass!!!!

[devlish]

hands???? how about entire arm?!!?!?

[mrslysly]

Probably won't be there.. won't have my EVO after next Wednesday.


Bring the DD.

[Deadly_Evolution]

Bring the DD.

This will be the DD for a few weeks or so.

http://images7.ecarlist.com/photos/1155/626859/640/00.jpg

[devlish]

you turn in an evo, and they give you a lancer?? please. take it back tell them you want a comparable car for a loaner.

[Getsideways]

A few weekes holy crap , what is all being done ?

[Deadly_Evolution]

^ New brakes, new floor carpet, replacing that wiring that makes the wipers and SRS go wacky from the water seeping issue, and fixing my ECU. They only order parts once I week I guess so I figure its going to take a few to figured out what wiring they need, order it and then install it.

[Getsideways]

Im really glad they are taking care of it all for ya thats nice to see.

[Deadly_Evolution]

Yep and best of all I don't have to pull any of the mods off the car.

Oh that reminds me.. I have some new info about my on the box issue. Noticed something yesterday that explains why I had a shit ass launch sat night. Something weird is going on for sure!

[mrslysly]

Looks like the DD would be perfect for an autox.

[BLAQK]

I'll be there, not sure which vehicle yet

[Extremedsm]

Blupy has more fuel and can rev to 8200 now. :cool:

[1gnR/T]

My neon revs to 8150 :)

The guy with the powerstroke wants to bring 1 of his 4 cyl. stock cars that he races at golden sands to marshfield maybe, would he be able to race it? it has a cage in it and passes tech at the track so should pass auto x tech right?

If he goes maybe i'll bring the R/T and beat the crap out of it.

[VPT]

Poopy has been taken above 9000 lots of times.

[1gnR/T]

I want to see poopy vs big ford redneck truck next time.

[northsydryd]

poopy's a fast car but i think he would lose his ass to the hill billy hot rod

[1gnR/T]

It would be a good race I think.

When are the next festivities taking place?

[TomKat]

Hell yeah he can bring it. If it goes as good as his truck we all may be in trouble.

[TomKat]

I want to see poopy vs big ford redneck truck next time.

Poopy is scart and the owner will complain and whine until he gets to cheat.

[northsydryd]

It would be a good race I think.

When are the next festivities taking place?

tt?

[devlish]

If he goes maybe i'll bring the R/T and beat the crap out of it.

you should bring the R/T and beat on it anyways!!! don't need to follow your friends around all the time do you?? you'll have fun either way!

[1gnR/T]

Awesome i'll let him know.

I'm scart to bring the neon just yet, it needs front wheel bearings and tie rods and ball joints first.

TomKat vs poopy real race this time? no hit for poopy lightweight fly and all gutted if it doesn't get off the line good too bad, then winner of that race vs the powerstroke would be cool.

[VPT]

I want to see poopy vs big ford redneck truck next time.



Poopy beat the car that beat the truck already.

[1gnR/T]

Yes I know but the truck wasn't running 100% He thinks the fuel filter needs to be changed thats why it was only hitting 27 psi and he had to launch on 2 psi.

[VPT]

Fuel filters don't plug up.

[TomKat]

Fuel filters don't plug up.

And VPT is scart to line up.

[1gnR/T]

Fuel filters don't plug up.

What are you smoking?

A dirty filter affects performance.

[TomKat]

Get that filter changed and we'll rematch.

BMW vs. 4 ton Super Duty

[1gnR/T]

Get that filter changed and we'll rematch.

BMW vs. 4 ton Super Duty

Lol, sounds good I will let him know.

[VPT]

What are you smoking?

A dirty filter affects performance.



Why is the filter dirty?

[RedNeckDually]

The filters get dirty from crap that is in tanks at the station and crud around the fuel cap when you take it off and where ever the fuel touches a an area that is open to dirt ie. fuel nozzles. Plus alot of small town stations don't use as much diesel as gas so those tanks don't get fresh fuel as much. But all vehicles need to have the filters changed often plus it will NEVER hurt the vehicle to have a new filter. They know these truck get dirty fuel cause they put 2 filters on it, the first is bigger than some small cars air filters LOL
The fuel pump is also wore out from 205k of pumping this beasts thirst for diesel, so I have a new one on the way.
I am not making excuses for the loss, TK beat me straight up. His stuff was better than mine. (I need o do my homework BMW 335 i's = wicked :)Thats racing. So now i will tune her up and give it another go. I may be quicker I may be slower, i am all about talking crap but I will at least put-up if needed LOL if i want lengths my truck is LONGGGGGG
I am all about fun win, lose, draw. i love looking at vehicles, racing vehicles and talking vehicles. I am glad I got to meet a few of you and hope to meet more. I may seem like a red neck truck guy but I have owned my share of fast cars and trucks. So thanks again for letting me join the fun.
P.S. I might bring it sunday to do a 60' run she loves to launch.:drool:

[VPT]

^ That is all false. Fuel tanks don't pick up gas right from the bottom of the tank so no dirt ever is pumped into your tank. Dirt around the filler neck? Not ever never nearly enough to plug up a fuel filter, the fuel cap should keep dirt free from the inside unless faulty or you throw it down ion the dirt every time you get gas?

The ONLY time a fuel filter plugs up is if you have another problem. It can happen from a rusty gas tank, rusty lines, old rubber fuel lines falling apart, etc.


What year is your truck? I wasn't paying attention.

[RedNeckDually]

I will not get in an argument, But even Manufactures say to change around 30,000 miles or every 24-months so if the filter don't get dirty why do thay say that. I could show you a filter from a new car that is black with crap, plastic tank and plastic lines so no rust or rubber lines coming apart. Cut apart any fuel filter with a few thousand and it will not be white so if its not white its dirty. Like i said My truck has 2 (TWO) fuel filters. A filter don't have to plug completly up to hurt performance. Ask any mechanic he will tell you the same thing. If you think the fuel in the tanks at fuel stations never stirs up look at a fish tank as the water is run through the filter it picks up crap on the bottom and pushes it around just like when fuel is put in the tanks so dirt is picked up in the fuel.

Its a 2003

Im glad you will be coming sunday
And it was fun to watch a truck take up so much road and hang with a quick car , good luck on you fuel filter hope it cures your boost issue

[RedNeckDually]

Well I am glad it was at least a good show. yeah not many people think It will be very fast (SLEEPER). Yeah I hope a new pump and filter change will get her going good again. Diesels really need the fuel to keep boost up. fuel=heat=boost=hang on :cool: i knew it was getting bad but was not ready to change it just yet.

[northsydryd]

i want to see the 60 ft time to,but dont those trucks have more sack after 60 feet?

[VPT]

What do you have done to that beast?

[RedNeckDually]

It has intake,exhaust and tuner. Yeah it pulls pretty good once it ges going. It takes alot to get 4 tons moving

[VPT]

EGR delete part of that exhaust? I'd take it easy with the tuner if that truck has the original tranny yet.

[RedNeckDually]

Yeah I deleted the egr even though the exhaust doesn't connect with the egr, the egr is part of the up-pipe and intake. I don't have a Allison LOL, The 5r110 is good for about 500 hp stock and I am not there yet!! . Plus i have a spare in the garage so if i gernade it I have one to put in

[2fastforyou]

Plus i have a spare in the garage so if i gernade it I have one to put in[/QUOTE]

[mrslysly]

[Dizmm]

Ask and you shall receive?

sweet, noah's a grandma driver anyways.

comptech - Competition Vetec(h)!!

[Dizmm]

you comin tomorrow Mr Sarge???

[VPT]

He said he is going to stay home because it is going to rain.

[Dizmm]

thats what you said last time and it was nice and sunny for the entire event.

[Dizmm]

also, doing some beta testing. at this event, you'll be able to access the Pax results via your mobile phone (if you have internet connectivity).

www.cwscc.com/mobile.html (http://www.cwscc.com/mobile.html)

[VPT]

thats what you said last time and it was nice and sunny for the entire event.



I just agree with weather.com all the time.


http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/54481

[SgtRauksauff]

I'm still not sure. I've got brakes to bleed, a set of tires to bring back and bolt up, van to fill with fuel, trailer to connect, and the car to load up.

I've been outside almost all day since about 9:30, it's been about 93°, and I am frickin' wiped out right now.

I'm drinking some water and cooling down right now, and it feels great, and I'm almost sayin' screw it. But I've never been to a marshfield autoX, I've heard good things, and I don't know if there's another one this year.

so, I might try to make it, but holy crap do I feel lazy right now. the heat just saps my energy like a mofo!

--sarge

[Dizmm]

just drive the car up. dont need no trailer.

[Draven8795]

Sarge are your brakes that soft that you need to bleed before an autox? If you can make it I would try. Marshfield us always a great course to run on.

[SgtRauksauff]

At Brainerd, the brakes finally started to get soft at the very end, after a bunch of laps without really letting things cool down. I just haven't had the time to bleed them since then.

And I don't NEED to trailer the car, but since the transmisison is making some very loud whining (almost sounds like straight cut gears, but it's not. That, to me, equals transmission on the verge of death. I mean, it does have almost 220,000 miles on it, with the last 4000 or so being exclusively autox and HPDE miles, and the commute to those events. I'd really rather save the wear for during something fun, rather than commuting. Plus, I'll most likely be dropping the car off at VPT's on the way home, so he can work his magic on my not-quite-fitting-right header.

Ok then. to sum up today's work: fixed the exhaust leak on the Van. It sounds MUCH better now.

Ran some new discharge lines for my dad's compressor, this took quite a chunk of the day. This was when I was still planning on busting a bunch of tires.

Replaced the motormounts on the corolla. Verified fuel pressure at 36 psi.

Drove out to storage, grabbed my A5's mounted on the CelicaSupra wheels. Drove back, ate some pizza, drank a lot of water.

Bled the front brakes.

Mounted the A5's on the car. Checked the oil, topped it off.

Put in the new breakaway-safety battery on the trailer, squirted the grease zerks a couple times, hooked up to the van, checked the lights, loaded the car on the trailer.

most of the van's packed, just filling my tote right now. gonna gas up and get some ice and water in the morning.

Pretty much locked and loaded.

See youse guyz ta-marrow!

--sarge

[Getsideways]

glad your coming , looks like early scattered rain but great weather in the PM

[northsydryd]

^sweet

[northsydryd]

Damn vpt and his rain dancing

[VPT]

Yup, raining. But it looks as though it may pass.

[northsydryd]

Fricken pouring in rapids

[VPT]

Hour by hour weather channel says it will stop by 10 but then there is a chance for rain again by 1.

[devlish]

now's it's only a 30% chance around 2pm... should be done by the time i get to marshfield... heading out soon. raining good and hard here though at 750 still

[flosho]

Great event today guys. Had a blast!

[flosho]

I also have about 7 gigs of pictures to go through. I will post in a separate thread in the next day or so..

[BLAQK]

flaming brakes...awesome

[northsydryd]

wow i knew those things got hot.when i was staging you could see how blue they were.great picture...i have a bunch of pics and videos to,i will load them to photobucket and post the link when i get to it tonight some time.they may not be the best but im not a photographer

[Getsideways]

Thanks everyone for making this event so much fun.
And if i forgot at the track thanks for letting me take rips in your cars i had the most fun at this autox then any in recent memory just from being able to take a rip in your vehicle .
And i cant wait for the next one !

[VPT]

Had a great time as well! Glad the rain stopped. When I was driving out in the morning it rained all the way to Blinker or Millador.

I'm gonna have to get some new tires for sure. The tires I have this year are worse than the fleet farm specials I had last year.

[flosho]

I wanna know who missed Jeff's last cone near the wall of death. Cost me the stock class trophy!

[mrslysly]

It was an awesome day. Wish more had turned out but none the less, great time. I had fun letting people take the vette for a spin. Every corner when the ass would start to slide a little bit I just kept thinking "slide her out!".

Haha.

I hope giovanni got some video of my last crazy run. Want to see what that looked like from the outside.

[krazyk]

thanks for the rides and the great event.. it was alot of fun!!

[Deadly_Evolution]

It was fun sliding around and plowing like no tomorrow in my RS and the bald 400 tread wear rating tires but, wow do I miss my EVO!

[SgtRauksauff]

Marshfield is just a fun track, the event turned out great, and even the applesauce was fun!

Driving Bluepy is one more notch towards considering a Honda product someday. Maybe when all my other projects are finished. But hot damn, the power steering was nice! I'd forgotten what it's like to autoX a car with it, much less an insanely powerful, uber-sticky, ridiculously loud, absolutely FUN piece of machinery!!

--sarge

[TomKat]

Great event today guys. Had a blast!

Glad you made it out.

Thanks to all who attended.

The course was very fun indeed.

[paulmeisterpk]

Had a good time. I really liked battling Kronztech and I've got to hand it to him, he drove the wheels off of that RS.

[mrslysly]

I really enjoyed the mixed between wet/dry pavement. Super challenge that was fun all day.

[northsydryd]

ha,my photobucket account is full so im gonna have to delete some pics and reload yesterdays pics again.

[1gnR/T]

I had fun just watching, bluepy was fun to watch and seeing the 4 ton dually hang it out was pretty sweet too.

[northsydryd]

i should have video of that somwhere in here.
this is only half of what i got,mostly videos right now but here they are
http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh194/northsydryd/MSS%2071810/

[Dizmm]

flosho, awesome pics of my brakes throwing flames. Also i checked both the computer and the hand written results, no cones marked down. But thats not to say the corner worker didnt call it in. sorry man, either way, you 2 were battling it out. good driving!

thanks extreme for testing out that honda, i want one too.

Nick, you were ripping and launching like crazy in your new RS.

speaking of RS, good driving kronztek!

I'll have results up soon.

the combination of rain and slick pavement brought me back to the ice racings days. i cant wait for winter.

Also thanks Blaq for helping out with timing.

Thanks to Steph for cooking food and kicking ass in our new SM-FWD class.

[VPT]

It was mentioned last year and I am curious why double driven cars don't have their drivers split up between the two groups?

So one of two drivers for one car works while the other drives in group 1 than they switch for group 2.

[devlish]

^ at bigger events the cars are supposed to be in run groups by class... i.e. all SM & BSP cars in heats 1/3, all GS & HS & ASP cars in heats 2/4. since the car classing is constant, the car should always be in the same heat. (ok, so my example has weird classing, but you get it right??)

however, i agree with you VPT. split it up. i had people in the double-driver cars asking me to wait to let them in the let the car/tires cool down! i think that would solve it running it the way you mentioned!

[StephaniEvo]

Fun day, thanks to everyone who made it happen. I'm impressed with my new car, that was the most fun I've had at an event in a while. I can't wait for Shawano to see what it'll do.

[Dizmm]

yup basically what Kurt said. all people running in SM needs to run in the same heat. if weather conditions change, then half of SM gets wet runs and the other half gets dry runs.

[Dizmm]

results:

Frank is in the wrong class on these results, I'll fix that and update later.

At the same time it is unfair to the workers. Group 1 yesterday was done racing within 30 minutes both heats. Group 2 took an hour the first heat and 1.5 hours the second heat and we were short handed for workers because all of the double drivers were standing around in the pits waiting for their car to get back so they could hot lap the shit out of it.

Weather is chance, take what you get.

I had the same number of workers in heats 1/3 as i did in 2/4. this would also mean the run groups should have been really even.

[devlish]

heats 2/4 did take longer to run though, seemed to be many more double-driver cars in heats 2/4, i was working grid... and at least for heat 4 it seemed all i was doing was fitting in the double drivers...

[SgtRauksauff]

Maybe the number of drivers in both heats were the same, but the 2/4 heats had a lot more cars doing double-action, and the cool-down as well as driver-swapping adds time. cool-down is *supposed* to be long enough so the car doesn't go out any sooner than a regular single-driver car. That definitely wasn't happening.

--sarge

[flosho]

Well first car went out around 11 and we ate lunch around 1230 so I'm sure the 2nd run group did not take 90 minutes.. I would say it was just under an hour for our group and not quite 45 minutes for the first.

Andy, as for the missed cone on Jeff's run, not a big deal. I knew he had a good run going and then he clipped the inside cone on the death wall so I knew he would be mad but it must not have gotten called in (or magically flipped up in the air and landed in the box? haha) Either way, as long as he can sleep at night with that trophy, I don't care.

Wish I could have stayed for some fun runs but I had to be back in Eau Claire to work at 530!

[Deadly_Evolution]

HA HA omg if you lookjust right you can totally see the look on Joels face in that pic. Epic!

[snoxracer183]

Had a great time as well. Not only did a get to spend a great day at the track but I also got my workout in running after cones at the end of the salomn/wall of death.

Thanks Noah for letting me drive your 'Vette. I know for sure that the Mazda is going down the road now. You've turned my itch for RWD hp into a full out disease.

Time for a new 5.0 Mustang!

[TomKat]

From the pictures it looks like we were running a rallycross on Sunday. LOL

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting.

[northsydryd]

noahs vette is st ?

[Extremedsm]

Nice pics and videos!!! I did not have as much fun as I wanted to due to my back but still did have fun.

I was happy with super blupy. Too bad the only thing I was thinking about when I got in it was how fast I could get out of it because of my back.

To those who took blupy for a spin, I am glad you liked it. Looks like Dizmm is going to have to get a blupy since he got beat in his own car by getsideways. =)

[Dizmm]

Maybe the number of drivers in both heats were the same, but the 2/4 heats had a lot more cars doing double-action, and the cool-down as well as driver-swapping adds time. cool-down is *supposed* to be long enough so the car doesn't go out any sooner than a regular single-driver car. That definitely wasn't happening.

--sarge

this is the advantage double drivers have. many guys that run SCCA nationals have double drivers, one just to keep the tires warm. Not sure how you expect double driver cars to not run twice as much as single driver cars.

If all heats have the same number of workers, the run heats must also be the same. would you like me to post up the worker's schedule VPT?

Nice pics flosho!

ha, getsideways should get to have my evo since he beat me. but that should also mean i get bluepy since i beat you Mr Frank!

[Dizmm]

noahs vette is st ?

No, its SS. I will have the revised results later. I dont have the timing computer with me.

[TomKat]

With 25 cars entering the event it's hard to keep all of the cars off the track with warm tires.

If the future with low turnouts we can do that rapid-fire run as we did at Golden Sands in the past. That way everyone can go out on warm tires.

Dizzmm is right about SCCA guys having co-drivers just to keep the tires warm. I know guys in Milw. that attended events just to co-drive so the other driver had the advantage.

[flosho]

If each heat had the same number of drivers that means each heat had (approximately) the same number of runs... I don't see how 2 & 4 could have a longer session or how that would benefit much. It takes literally no time to switch drivers.

The delays were more likely due to the timing equipment going dead and issues like that, that are no one's fault.

[Getsideways]

With Only 10-12 cars in each heat there was no warm tire advantage to be had.
Also the 2 driver grid allows the 2 driver car to run exactly twice as much which i didnt get all my runs in andys sweet ride ;) i think i had 8 runs .

I never seem to notice a tire needing much heat at all ,, after the first initial corner / and first run they are usually pretty sticky for the rest of the session ,
Also the course layout allowed for your tire heat to not matter much with two corners right away that didnt require a ton of grip thanks for that super awesome layout !!!

[flosho]

I was pretty impressed with the street tires on the focus. They held up really well to twice as much thrashing. They didn't get sloppy at all near the end!

[VPT]

And good hamburgers as well!

[RedNeckDually]

i should have video of that somwhere in here.
this is only half of what i got,mostly videos right now but here they are

Do you mind if I copy that to my account just to show my buddies nice vid by the way. thanks again TK for letting me run it was a blast.

[northsydryd]

if its posted on the internet its yours

See, look at all those evos! Just sickening.

[snoxracer183]

See, look at all those HONDAS! Just sickening.

[paulmeisterpk]

So my Star Specs chunked and blistered after this event. This was the second event on them and less than 1300 miles. I wouldn't think they would have gotten hot enough with less than one minute runs, but I guess it would be a cool if two driver cars could run in opposite heats. But I can see how that could cause a fuss.

My tires were eaten alive by this track this time (chunked up and peeling). I think the pavement of the actual race track was hard on street tires. I had zero grip out there on my street tires compared to my Hoosier R6s I had last time we were there.

[northsydryd]

i didnt see any chunking, blistering ,or peeling on my tires.i havent realy checked either but i didnt knowtice any shaking on the drive home

[TomKat]

Damn. That sucks that tires got eaten up.

I know Getsideways front tires (on Dizmm's car) chunked also.

[SgtRauksauff]

My tires (A5/A6) chunked up too. Lots of rocks and pebbles, and even small bits of glass, just chunks stuck in the tire all around...


--sarge

[WhiteEightBall]

I had no chunking or peeling issues on my $58 Sumitomo HTR Z II's....

Also, wish me luck. Got an interview today with West in Wausau. If it's anything less than $10 / hr though, it won't be worth the gas money to drive there every day....

[Extremedsm]

My tires are all fine.

[StephaniEvo]

My tires are good as well. Maybe you guys should have lighter cars. :P

[VPT]

I think my tires got better even.

[flosho]

Too much whining about double driver cars...

[mrslysly]

I had some small cuts in my tires. I think it was the edges between the concrete and blacktop sections, or the transition out onto turn 2 of the track. Great photos guys!

[Dizmm]

Too much whining about double driver cars...

ha, yup!

[Deadly_Evolution]

My tires are good as well. Maybe you guys should have lighter cars. :P

Sarges car weighs less then yours if I'm not mistaken :P

[StephaniEvo]

I was giving crap to everyone in general that was commenting on tire wear...most have heavier cars.

[SgtRauksauff]

I believe mine was 2463.4 lbs with driver, in a 53/47 F/R split, and dead-nuts 50/50 diagonals, last time I was corner weighted. However, I had a mostly-full tank of gas this time, so probably a bit more. My tires were just fine too, I was being a smart-ass about all the rocks and sticks and glass and "chunks" of debris that Hoosiers like to pick up.

--sarge

[devlish]

my tires are not different than they were before the event. well, just a little wear on the outside of the fronts... but nothing too noticable.

i had a great time by the way!!!

[Deadly_Evolution]

I was giving crap to everyone in general that was commenting on tire wear...most have heavier cars.

And I was just giving crap to you in general, for giving crap lol.

[WhiteEightBall]

Guess I'm going to be the one to point out that I didn't actually auto-x......

[BlackJack03]

Thought you guys might be interested to see a video of the course...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKbEdiIvF38

[VPT]

Great video!

[devlish]

yeah, good video. really shows the course layout well.

[BlackJack03]

Thanks.

I'm working on a home-made montage video of everything we captured that day. Should be done in a couple days! If you have any shots you'd like to see in it, post 'em here or PM me or something...like shots of the Dually, or Kyle in the trunk...

[northsydryd]

heres a link to the marshfield pics and videosi took ,they might suck but ohwell.towards the end i have 2 or 3 videos of the dualy hanging the ass end out.
http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh194/northsydryd/MSS%2071810/

[krazyk]

im tellin you that trunk ride was the best ride of the day!

[BlackJack03]

Here's the video I made for now. I got impatient :P I'll see if I can add some other pics in, but I was just too psyched about making it!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le85FQtPW4w

Also I fixed the credits at the end to include EVERYONE who made the event happen (which includes drivers), but I don't want to wait for it to re-publish and re-upload and all that garbage.
