Audi Drags at Toronto Motorsports Park Cayuga - Fall 2015

General Discussion
#41

Matt and I went last night. Super guy.

Conditions were good, at least for me. Matt did a bunch of runs at low 11.7, but there were bypass and DSG tune issues that are supposed to be addressed by APR. His spray works awesome considering he’s running two pulleys and 91 gas, on the 100 and 104 tune file.

I did a bunch of 11.9s, best of 11.938@118.08 and 11.947@118.38 in the stock P31-package C63 with 275 street tires. It’s the fastest stock sedan time I’ve seen, one guy did an 11.915@118.40 in a coupe at ATCO.

That’s awesome for a stock run this time of year. Also jealous of that exhaust note. Did you have trouble hooking up at all? A buddy said yesterday was a waste of time for him and his S/C’d s550 mustang GT. Nice video btw.

As long as I heated up the tires good and hot in second, and eased in enough throttle to transfer enough weight, I was flat before the end of first gear.

These are almost to-the bone 275/40/18 Bridgestone RE050s. They seem to be perfect at sticking to the track rubber there in the right lane.

I gotta work on my left foot during burnouts, my brake pad warning went by the end lol.

#44

So who’s going today?

#45

Im going to come for around 12:00pm. Im trying to get an old buddy in his 335xi auto with a tune to come, If he does come please play nice lol.

#47

I should be there around 11:30ish. Coming solo today looking like a brown Brian Spilner.
Will look for others. I have a B8 in Phantom Black.

#48

lol brown spilner.

My brother and I will be there for 11. Charcoal c63, look for two guys wearing their sideburns almost as low as Rhodes and Gibbons.

Matt will be there, not sure meth or race gas or both.

#49

Will be there with madman

#50

Fucking Douchebag Uli Bieri closed the track. There’s about 50 guys here and we’re negotiating to open it

#51

I wish I read the memo earlier, I just go back from Cayuga

#52

Well Toronto Motorsports Park didn’t update the website or phone by 11:40am, maybe they never did.

There were many of us, all sorts of trailered cars, and with everyone milling around, it was VERY weird only Matt and I were willing to try to get them to do anything about it. Eventually Matt convinced them to get the track manager down there again. He said he can’t get staff back here now after already trying to clean up in the morning (although there may be water still in the cracks at the big end).

We talked with the Sat/Sun track manager Neale and I have his number for future events. Left a letter for Uli Bieri and we’ll see if he calls me back. VERY disappointing.

This is why they closed:

Right lane:

Not happy.

I’ve met Uli a few times. I didn’t think he was as bad as people said. But they said in the office, when I asked, that he made the call, but maybe nobody in the office would own up to not updating the phone line or website.

#53

The suspense is killing me!!!

#54

Oh the other guys went to Sparta. They can comment, I won’t spoil it :slight_smile:

#55

I was pretty pissed. Kinda ruin me day.

Allasandra and I drove from London to Cayuga after calling and hearing nothing regarding closure of the track. Show up after running my car 37km passed empty just to be told by the fuel boy that the drag strip is closed.

I then had to drive another 4km to the nearest gas station to put in crappy 91. Met up with s4matty and headed to Sparta which was anther 1.5hrs away after out drive from London which was about 2hrs from my place.

On the way, Jones aka Jeff called and said e was heading there also. LOL I thought that was kinda funny.

Anyways, Get to Sparta and there was an oil spill. So waited around and let the cars cool down. Jeff arrives just after 2pm we shoot the shit. Wait a it more and get to the staging lanes around 3pm.

First run, I clean off my tires and and got a lot of wheel hop. When I approach the start I could hear something odd. However I was in the zone. And said F it. Used Launch control get to the end and I hear a horrible sound. Something is dragging. Pull over at the end of track. My belly pan came out from underneath the front bumper and was dragging on the ground. FML

Roll up to the booth and was somewhat surprised to see a 11.74@118.46. Went back to pits and had to fix that POS with some zip ties and gorilla tape. (It actually held up… For now)

Back into the line and realized the place was closing in 40min or so. I got 3 runs after that and they were all 11.7-11.8.

We needed to hotlap and did not get a chance. Couldn’t even find the time to log. Had the laptop but could not setup in time.

We are crossing our fingers that next weekend is nice.

#56

call sparta and ask them to rent it. Offer him $600 cash. I bet he does it.

If we get 10 guys that’s basically 1.5x the Cayuga price for T&T

and you can hotlap your tires off. Post on the C63 forum and the SRT forum and we’ll easily get 10 guys.

#57

Saki, that’s a solid idea. However. I have organized in the past on the forum and it consumed way too much of my time. I am a small business owner, who works too much as it is. However, if anyone else is willing to make the call. I am in for sure.

#58

Maybe my car will be fixed for this weekend so I can join but I doubt it. Either way I want to you guys go down the 1/4.

#59

those are the exact reason I suggested you guys do it lol

:slight_smile:

#60

Jones said he would call this week and ask about a price for the following weekend on the Sunday. Nov 8.

It’s a fat chance the weather will be good enough. But who knows, a couple years ago I was riding my motorcycle into late Nov.

This weekend looks decent. So will see if we can get guys together. I need to log.
