Looking forward to the results w/ the trick flows. What compression going to be bumped to?

 

About 11.5-11.6ish.

 

Ya didn't think it'd be worth the money, just figured if you planned on doing a bigger cam now would be the time. I agree tho just leave that cam in there

 

Its comforting knowing Id have trouble beating a stock cadillac......





Time for more mods.

 

Garage walls are getting started! I keep forgetting to go take pictures lol

 

Don't give our jobs away! Just kidding, I'm union and work on pipelines, we have more work than ever. But I agree the wages are better up North but I didn't see much of a difference for living, granted I'm talking about hotels.

 

Unions are no longer needed in the current world. And I am a UAW member too. But a member only because.... and you know it too... if you are non-union, they don't represent you... when needed, in the same "manner".

 

Off to the dyno in a couple of weeks. It's idling a little high now cause of the old tune.

 

I want to bounce an idea off you guys, I'd like some feedback. Here locally we have a dying racing/car scene. We get kicked out of nearly every meet spot and our local drag strip is out of touch with the 16-25 group. I'm working on putting together a program that would run on a week night. Test and tune from 6-9 and eliminations from 930-1030 ish. Pretty similar to some other weeknight events at other tracks. 8.50 index, 7.50 index, bike class heads up, king of the streets style class heads up and maybe a heads up diesel class, cash payouts for all classes. DJ, cheap beer and an 1/8th mile foot race for $100. My goal is to make this a solid weekly car meet, and to get more people involved in drag racing. Any feedback or suggestions?

 

Why the **** would you want 16 year olds there?

 

Find a core group of like minded folks and try to do some things for kicks. you'd be surprised how many others will take notice and want to be apart of that. If you have a group of 5-10 people that are willing to be apart of it and it's generally enjoyable then you can grow from there. Something can grow quickly from 4 people to 40 but the core group defines the type of people it attracts.

 

Why? Because I want to bring back our car scene and get young people into drag racing.

 

Well hell man since you are looking for the fresh meat see if you can find a highschool shop teacher that would be willing to do something. I still stand by my post in that you have to establish a core group of people preferably your age with the same like mindedness or it's going to be a hot mess of awful with little to no direction.

Unfortunately this is a dying genre. Kids are into stance and cosmetics so getting the interest of young adults is going to be a challenge

 

This is done locally here with the import guys. Some times us v8 guys go out just for fun. But its a bunch slow cars really.

Another guy started this in tx. Then he was pushed out cause people seen money in it.

 

I know I can get 300+ people a week. I'm looking for ideas to bring in the spectators really. There's two events within 5 hours of here that draw 2-3k people a week. I guess you all don't have anything similar?

 

The guy in tx had 200-300 people showing up to his drag/roll race events and it was growing. Thats why he got pushed out. Greed took over.

now he does autox events that draw 500 cars plus lots of watchers.

 

100.00??? I've passed on private rentals at 40-50... I wouldn't expect a good turnout once you go above 50.00. Just my take on it... Desposible income isn't the same for everyone though.

 

It would be 10 to get in and 20 to race.

 

I misunderstood what you were saying. That's actually perfect IMHO

 

Where the Florida guys at? I know a couple said they wanted to come out this weekend to OSW to run/Watch

Funday Sunday looks like the best day for the people who want to go. (Ill be there weather permitting the 1st 2nd and 3rd) and work has no way to screw me this time !
