Hitting the drag strip...North Edition

Our first chance in Alberta will be May 3rd at Castrol in Edmonton. I am making arrangements to head there in my S4

Ok, so tomorrow (Saturday), we meet at the Petro around 9:30/9:45 and leave at 10am for TMP?

Who is coming

Thiv may be out
George is out
I am in if you’re going Axel. Give you some bench strength.

I’m going for sure. I’ve been waiting since November when I got my final tune.

Sucks about Thiv and George. I thought Thiv said Saturday was actually better for him than Sunday.

Nah I’m in… Just have been having a bunch of nagging issues over the last couple weeks. Rough idle/rev, CELs for missfires. Been trying to pin down what it is.

Got an EPC coming into work today too but won’t get a chance to scan until I get home.

As long as it’s nothing major I’m in for tomorrow. Awesome weather.

EDIT: I just realized this sounds like I’m already making excuses for any shitty times haha

You already got a great time. I’m the one that needs to improve lol

I’ve since gotten tuned, lwcp, lwfw and clutch though lol

I’d be happy with 12.3x. 12.2x would be great too but I’m gonna be running on my 18" winters though. I’ve never weighed then so hopefully they’re not too much heavier than stock.

Really looking forward to what you’ll run. And maybe saki will break his own record lol. Should be an awesome day!

I might be able to join you guys after all. It looks like the sound may have just been from some dislodged shields. It is at the local garage now getting checked out.

It’ll be a last minute decision for me, if I take a car out of winter storage.

^^^you just need to get 6 passes in without car trouble! That would be a victory in itself.

We need to rent a diesel Q7 and a flat bed trailer for these trips.

Bora - get us something green!

Good luck to the fuckers running their cars…get some good video

Axel you need to bring home that fastest avant time

Anyone bringing a video camera? And does anyone have a gopro they could bring? I’d appreciate it if I could do one run with it inside on my sunroof or something so I can check out my technique.

I will be bring a gopro and laptop.

Edit: Sak - you bring the pbox and a SD card?

Sure I can bring it.

Out of curiosity, why 6 passes?

If I’m there I’ll have a gopro, could lend it. Mistro I still use my iPhone a lot at the circuit, just pick up a suction cup adapter from best buy or whatever.

More than the 2 he usually gets. He has had some really annoying little things that shut the car down for the day after he makes a couple of passes.

Crap never even thought of that. I have a suction cup holder for my old phone. Should be able to record stuff with that.

^^^then you’ll have good audio too vs. the digitized gopro sound that can get a little funky. You can also use my ghetto method. This is from a few years ago. Just crammed the camera under the headrest on the passenger seat…this is me (modded B7 S4) vs. bangoman (stock). You can just adjust the camera angle
