Default NW Dragweek"end"

Guy on Yellowbullet trying to get a Dragweek going in the NW. Just a weekend type deal, streetcars.

I'm part of this group, we had two races last year at Woodburn. Great bunch of guys.

Very cool idea. Wish I was in a better position to get my car up/running and do something like this. Wouldn't be interested in the drive up to Bremerton and back down to Vancouver afterward, but I'd be down for the Woodburn/PIR runs. Lately I've been getting the itch to get the black car running again though.

Swoop, if that's a current time in your sig, then your car and mine would be a damn close match, if mine was running that is....

If this ends up being successful, you should offer a stick shift class.

So far we have the following bonuses offered by generous supporters...

$100 per day to quickest stick car.
$250 to quickest NA car per class.
$100 for quickest nitrous pass of the weekend
$50 long distance award (determined via mapquest from Woodburn)

I want to thank all that are making this possible! !

Yep, times are best so far. Need a roll bar so I can spray this thing here.


What's your set up?

The last running setup, forged LS 370, ported L92 heads, stock plastic intake, 90mm tb, 1-7/8 headers, custom 4" exhaust, 9" rear and T56. Best run with that setup was 11.03@125 on 1.6x 60', N/A.

The next round of mods is the same long block, Vic Jr and FAST 4bbl throttlebody, faceplated T56 and adjustable clutch setup. Hoping to pick up 30-40whp with the single plane manifold. The faceplated trans with adj clutch should drop the ET a lot if I can learn how to tune the clutch. A Racepak datalogger would make it much easier,,,,, someday maybe.

Have you ran yours locally yet? What have ya done to it other than the nitrous.

Mike

Mike - if you check his sig there is a 11.56 run at Woodburn. Not trying to speak for swoop, but I know that he ran that this summer.

swoop - you need to come check out the busa now. Wheelie bars and a new clutch (thanks to Daniel). The thing still needs some tuning, but it leaves sooooo soft and smooth, I bet you could almost ride it.

I have a moderate cam, ported 5.3 heads and a tight nitrous converter.

I've been leaving it alone last year, really didn't want to do a roll bar. Car spends a lot of time with car seats/kids in the back.

I'll have to do that Cody, haven't seen you guys in a long time. Don't tease me with that busa, taken me 5 years to get racing bikes outta my head

Classes are set for the inaugural event. The only way more may be added is if someone stepped up to sponsor a class and preregistering shows big interest for that class.
