Great Lakes Dragaway October 5

If you have Vag Com, you can pull the fuel hose off the hard line and empty the tank via vcds.

Takes a couple minutes to do from start to finish – just make sure the car is cold when you pop the lines as it will spray everywhere.

I drain my pump gas into a couple jerry cans, fill up with race gas, run around the block then switch to the 100 file. Burn up my gas at the track, fill up on premium on my way home, dump the stuff at home back in the tank when you make room.

I just used PVC hose in the fuel filler neck. Siphon into a drum/jerry can by applying suction from a shop vac on the drum/can, to get it started. Let gravity do the rest.

Take that pvc pipe and hook it up to the hardline, push button on your computer and watch your fuel pump do all the work. Quick and easy. Plus you you completely drain the lines.

I take it these suggestions are for cloch.

To those who are coming:

The current forecast is constantly changing and, at the moment, shows a significant chance of rain. If that happens, is anyone interested in going on Sunday? Weather will not even reach the 60’s on Sunday so the conditions will be great.

Fingers crossed that Saturday still works.

I appreciate the suggestions. If I had some kind of workspace, I would definitely look into this. Unfortunately, I park in a public garage with about 250 other cars. It’s really not feasible to even try draining the tank. Not to mention there’s not even a flat surface to work on - it’s all incline/decline.

Ken - I may be down for Sunday if we get rained out on Saturday. However, I’d probably only stay an hour or so. Because football.

Agreed. If it ends up Sunday, I plan to get there at open, knock of a couple of mind-blowing 10 second runs* and then head home.

Can someone pm (that is for sure going) what the meet up details are? I’m 88% going, my first drag strip visit so you have to be okay with taking a noob.

I’ll post a coin delete pic in my build thread so I don’t derail this one anymore

Here is the hard line.
Unclamp the soft line, hook your 1/4" hose to one end of the hard line and the other end to a gas can
Set laptop on supercharger, plug in vagcom.
Empty gas tank.

Yep. I’ll make sure to send you the details and my number. At the moment, it’s really dependent on weather. Worst case we have to go Sunday, still interested?

Sounds good, I am good for Sunday as well.

Shot you a PM.

At the moment, everything is really dependent on the weather. Hopefully things go in our favor. Temps aren’t looking nearly as good as originally predicted :frowning:

According to weather.com, the forecast for tomorrow morning from 9am-11am is 72-74 degrees, 30% chance of rain.

Thoughts?

I’d still be down for tomorrow but Sunday is starting to look ideal. Highs in the 50’s. Overcast. Low chance of rain.

What do you think?

I filled up on 100 today so I’m ready to do this!

Let’s push to Sunday instead then. This will probably be my last time for the season, so I’d rather go when conditions are favorable. I’m still on a full tank of 93, so that’s what I’ll be running on Sunday. I assume it’s just us two now.

Anyone else planning on going? Bueller?

dblearon is still in I believe. I’m not sure about B6Joe or anyone else. Looks like ZCD is a no.

I’m still game either day just text my cell when it’s for sure. In coming from downers grove.

Cool. Sounds like we’re good for Sunday. Conditions should be decent in the morning - certainly better than tomorrow. Dragstrip, then football = awesome.

Planning on arriving around 9am. See you guys there.

Looking fwd to results. Hope the weather pans out.

Working 5:30-2:30 today. I might come out there if I’m not too tired.
