TurboDodge/Mitsu Day @ Etown

[guyd_15]

Guys,
I broke my arm so I haven't been able to do much of anything to my POS. Are there any volunteers out there that might be able to help me out? April 23 is coming pretty quick,and I'd really like to go.
Thanks, Guy Douglas

Think the Iroc R/T will make an appearance there also for some runs

Thats if they are letting the TDs near the track to save the Mitsus from crying from the hurting some of the guys around here that go will put on them. My Kumhos on my Laser are gonna have to do for tires since they are new and wider and if i light um up a bit i should be able to get them sticky enough for a decent run without a load of tire spin and wheel hop. hoping for a disappointments.

Don't bother doing burnouts with street tires. It doesnt help and wastes rubber. All tires have a temperature range at which they are designed to perform best. Burnouts with street compounds overheat them and make them more slippery.

Only 12 days left. The T is 99% ready, and it's quite fun to drive at 14psi.

If all works well, my friend will be bringing his GLH down. Just have to do the 555 swap, and it's ready to go.

[dodgeomniglh]

I'm going, my GLH will not pass tech with the rear axle slightly bent (or will it... but hopefully my buddy will bring his Mini and his brother will bring his GLH. I wish his 2.4 GLHT was done.

I have never been to etown can you get race gas there or do you need to bring it with you?

[contraption22]

Yup. Its a full-on NHRA National Event facility. One of the nicest in the nation.

[xtrempickup]

what does Race gas cost?? i never used it or seen it for sale and whats the Octane rating on the stuff usually.

[contraption22]

Usually about $5.00/gallon or higher. The stuff I use is for boosted and/or heavy nitrous engines and costs $8.00/gallon

What kind of gas and what octane rating? Is it C-16?

Around here I pay between $3.50-$3.89 for leaded 110 Octane.

Glad to see your schedule allowed it. I guess you got the alternator issue resolved as well. See you there.

Like Marra mentioned, you can get it there. You could bring some with you as well. I sometimes bring a 5 gal can of 110 leaded from Moran's on Route 2 for those "just in case" moments.
