Mission Raceway, BC March 30th
There is a TnT on Friday, March 30th. I'll be there most likely with some friends seeing how much good tires a spool and an intercooler will knock off my time, wondering if there is anybody else up this way that might be going?

~13psi. I am thinking about bringing it up to around 15psi, but that's kind of at the far end of efficiency for this small turbo. Also, all the experts say I have already maxed out my stock 29lb/hr injectors, but the wideband says otherwise.. Yeah, a big ebay intercooler. I think it's the same one Ryan K is running, his might be an inch thicker core though. My butt-o-meter says 15hp+, and my ears say my engine no longer sounds like a marble polisher. Pulls a lot harder, especially on the top-end. Also took out all the air conditioning stuff that didn't work. Compared to stock:

But, alas I took off the flat black hood in exchange for a matching red hood I got at the junkyard, so that probably makes me lose about 15hp, so it's a wash
When I hook up then usually I pretty much stomp the person in the other lane out of the hole, because at Mission I run in "Sport Compact" lol. 3.73 rear end and 4.03 first gear will do that, ******* tractor gearing.

It's only $10 to run at this thing and you can pretty much hot lap. I was hoping to see some of the guys from the bike thread chime in. Mission is also one of the best tracks around, IMO.

Several of my buddies trailer cars across the Sumas crossing. They are quite used to having Americans bring their cars up to race at Mission and will usually give you little to no hassle. The other crossings look at you crazy when you say you are going to race at Mission and your car is shaking the glass customs building.

I may head up just to see how the track is this year, its been awhile (2001). It would be baby runs since I don't want to call for a trailer back to Woodinville.
Great, just checked...need a new helmet because its now 'outdated'
