B8 S4 runs 11.67 and it's not me... Boom...

B8 S4

lol

I don’t disagree that this might be the fastest B8 S4. To really know we will have to race 81bear vs. primetime vs. rynurz. We already know imolamonster is slower than PT.

IHRA/NHRA certification means a bunch of shit happens. One being you pay money of course…but there are also standards to uphold and your equipment is checked out/calibrated. While as I said above, I’m sure he really ran these times and I see no reason to believe there’s something tricky going on (unlike the B8 S4 owners who were pouring over his stats and saying they didn’t add up 2 pages ago), I just think we’ll stick to our guns with this list. You don’t need to care about our list anyway. You can always sift through the AZ B8 S4 only list you like so much.

I am just waiting for you to address the MRC times from GTI INTL in Europe. Why aren’t you lobbying ARin (and me) to add those up? There’s video and witnesses and everything. They smoked a REVO car in the process.

It doesn’t matter what any of us think. The guy who ran the time understands the policy here, is going to try to make it to a certified track and isn’t afraid of racing primetime in the name of finding the king of the B8!

Ryan, welcome aboard and for being a good sport about all of this!

Bottom line, it’s on the AZ list, it won’t be on the AR list, and the guy who ran the time is fine with that!

I just saw at the top of the page it says updated 4/11/2012

saki - is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAYFcSPQnCc

What’s interesting is TMP doesn’t show up as IHRA or NHRA as a track. TMP claims the NHRA logo on their site, but they don’t show up as NHRA.

Someone should verify this, if it’s such a concern to everybody.

#96

Could be, but Cayuga has been an NHRA certified track for a few years, and they have it as IHRA only.

ummm…that link is to a fucking blog lol. So yeah, I don’t think we’ll use that as the official record.

Here you go

I’m talking about the official lists on IHRA and NHRAs websites. Better check Saki, hopefully it is.

#98

Here are the official sites… TMP is an official NHRA… Thompson is an official IHRA…

Yeah no doubt… that would be the best way to do it… I raced Imola and his gutted car at Thompson… If you ever want to make the trek I’ll put you up for the weekend… Hoping to go this Sat./Sun. if weather allows… Got an extra pail of Shell Advanced URT with your name on it ;D Wife and son are out of town, stocked liquer cabinet, and some other party favorites… lol

So the rears are lhm, do you mean jhm? Also, do you know what brand of race gas you used? Was it Sunoco GT260, MS109, Shell Advanced URT… just curious as if it’s something I haven’t tried I would like to… Like I mentioned I normally use Sunoco GT260 since I can get it at the pump but APR turned me onto the Shell and wanted me to do some logging with it so I ran it once and plan on running it the rest of the season…

Oh and welcome to the site!

#100

Good stuff. I was worried since it didn’t show up as division 3, but it was in division 1

#101

man, I bet JNAUT was ready to slay me with trash talk (for getting his fastest stock RS4 title back)

#102

Not sure if jspazz was really unsure or just a bit of a wind up! lol

Cayuga has held numerous NHRA events, many of which have thwarted some of our plans to go. For SW Ontarians (and judging by the Port Huron/Sarnia border, Michiganier people), don’t forget the drag strip at Sparta: http://www.stthomasracewaypark.com/ I was surprised such a small, middle of nowhere strip was NHRA certified. Cool people. The new owners had to spend money on the pavement to get it up to speed for NHRA certification.

#103

I think he is just being a tool now because he realizes that not everything gets waved on by over here…

#104

I’ve been to Sparta many many times, coming on 20 years ago. Used to be London Motorsports Park.

It’s a nicer track and surface than Cayuga, at least it was back then, but once Grand Bend was built it lost a lot of events.

Cayuga was the crappy track at the time. No I really didn’t see them listed, the map is deceiving esp looking on my iPhone. I wanted someone to check.

#105

St Thomas/Sparta looks great. Set in a forest. Cayuga is a shit hole, but it’s close to Toronto. Somehow it’s still near bankruptcy ever 5 minutes.

re: that map, it’s not your phone…it’s a retarded map. Looks like the divisions were made by Miss Teen South Carolina

Talked to the guy that runs no limit raceway, and he said its a waste of time to be certified NHRA/IHRA.
Hahahaha! Another words MONEY!

#107

Hahaha! I guess TIME = MONEY. I thought dragstrips made their money from NHRA/IHRA type events. People travelling from far and wide, crowds spending money at the concessions etc… I know it gets busy in the Summer at Cayuga/TMP, but enough people paying $30 to turn a profit? (I’ve never been when it’s really busy, so I have no idea)

#108

^^^they do. The ones that don’t host those events go bust. Hell, most of the ones that DO host those events go bust.

The biggest event of the year though for these places? Armdrop. That’s that nerd from pinks…he has a ‘tour’ he does every summer where he goes to different places and does the big armdrop bracket competition. It’s Cayuga’s biggest weekend too.

#109

He would say that though, wouldn’t he? He’s justifying his reasoning for not bothering with it.

I don’t think it’s a waste of money, and personally I wouldn’t want to go to a non-certified dragstrip for a number of reasons

  1. did I really just run what the slip said? Or is this guy making sure he has ‘the fastest track around’
  2. are they following the safety rules?
  3. are they doing proper safety and tech inspections of the other cars (i.e. the ones that are side by side with my RS4 on the track at 100+ MPH?

The fact there were SIX cars there on a Saturday should tell you all you need to know about what the public thinks about his track.

There was an event at an airstrip in upstate new york that a friend asked me to go to. It was a quarter mile event. I said ‘what’s the point’? If you want to go to an airstrip and we can do rolling start runs up to 150 MPH and compare some cars, and just go batshit wild, speedwise, sure let’s give it a shot. But if I’m going there just to run the quarter mile, but in a non-certified environment what’s the point? I’d rather just go to Cayuga.

Hey, thanks for the offer! I believe I run Sunoco gt260, I’ll check for sure. Yes JHM rotors.
