Oct 4th St. Thomas/Sparta Track Day

here is the reply I got. im not sure the reasoning either. kind of a king of the hill kinda deal maybe. the small tire guys are running 1/8th mile, dunno if that changes things or what.

Hey Garret, We turn off the scoreboards so that fans or fellow racers cannot see the times, then when visiting the ET shack we cut the et slips in half so you don’t get to see your competitors ET.

You’ll get a time, but we try to keep it hidden to create the NO ET experience for everyone.

Brandon.

sak u should come.

Lol wut?? There’s nothing about that “experience” that makes any sense.

Lot of guys setting up grudge races apparently.

I’ll be there for 11am test and tune.

I would if it
A) wasn’t so busy
B) wasn’t so weird
C) wasn’t 1/8 mile only

Strange.

How much further is it for you to come to Cayuga?

Cayuga is actually closer to KW than Sparta… 96 km vs 130km. I agree this event looks weird.

Sak,

It is not 1/8 mile only just the street king and outlaw events are. It is weird, but I don’t think it will be that busy.

I wouldn’t go simply because they sound utterly moronic.

jones would u consider going to tmp?

it wont be busy the outlaw shootout is only 8-10 cars and they’ll likely start that around noon, i won’t show up till about 4 or 5 and ill stay till close. best runs will be at night for sure.

sak, u mentioned u had an app that calculated DA, whats it called?

Dragtimes.Com?

The opportunity to run in the evening at the weekend is nice.

it’ll be good fun, i think u guys should come!

He might come to beat an rs4, but otherwise it would be 3 hrs or something for him. Not ideal. He’s in Windsor

gotcha, ill go to Sparta no prob. sak u should come, mistro if u see this u should come to if u got your missfires sorted out. do we have anyone else that wants to go. im prayin for ideal weather that day.

I will be there 100%, it’s going to be my dial in for future runs on colder dates. This will be first time to track since spring. Have made some minor changes, hoping to grab records this year.

I will be there early for test and tune at 11 it should still be cool then.

Hoping to drop an 11.5@120+

would probably annoy APR if you did. Not because it beat their top spot time…but it crosses two key thresholds that will narrow the gap CONSIDERABLY on a TVSr1740 performance expectation vs. stage 2.

We know that the RS4 with the 1740 is running around 11.1-11.3 @ 125 on 93 octane. We know that the smaller engine would probably not achieve this same level…perhaps about 11.4-11.5@122 on 93, and 11.2@125 on race fuel. That’s a tough sell to go from 11.5-6 stage 2 to 11.2-11.3 in stage 3 … for $10,000+

Well I know I was dropping 119.5+ consistently in 50-100 DA last season. I have made some minor improvements since.

Fingers crossed :slight_smile:

I would love to be the first to cross that threshold.

I was thinking coming out to this but I won’t have my S4 when I’m out there. So no go.

That’s awesome man good luck. You B8 S4 guys are serious.

ya ill be there too. jones are u gonna stick around all night? I don’t even get out of bed until about 2.
