Big_rig
"right on brosef, it looks like we have a sac crew on the map now lol. im in between stockton and modesto in manteca so like a half hour or so from sac. nice color choice btw haha. it seems to me that it's about time we have an a/c meet"

Big_rig
"im totally down for a sac track meet (hehe that sounded dirty). either sactrack (that name is growing on me lol) or we could meet up at 99 speedway on a drift day. drift events are the s*** to watch"

Downedzephyr
"hey hey i'm in SJ, that's not too far a drive lol.

WOW! after all the hyp thats been going on and everyone saying they want to have a track meet and now no one is responding? mmx23z is a new member and hes even the one who contacted me about a meet. come on ppl, we got to get something going

Post by **srwong** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 11:27 pm

too far for me. that's 4 1/2 hours

Post by **Flypinoy457** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 11:39 pm

Put me down as a maybe, depends on the Wednesday we pick. I would have to take the day off from work or see if I can cut out early. I coming from San Jose and Sac Raceway would be about 2-3 hour drive depending on traffic. Does Sac Raceway have any weekend open track days coming up? Also might look into Infineon Raceway to?

ill look into different tracks & see if theres anything goin on on a weekend... also it wouldnt be fair to make u guys drive hrs & me & hussain are in our own city... so ill look up & see if theres anything in between & lets try to get srwong over here too.... also u guys wanna keep it a coupe theme only or u wanna invite some sedans over too??? the purpose of the meet was an opertunity for me (being new) to meet some of the fellow members & check out their rides

Post by **mmx23z** » Sat May 01, 2010 9:32 am

ok i was looking & since all the tracks i found are only doing drags on wed nites...
what about this...??? http://umigoracing.com/newintro.aspx
its an hr & a half from me & hussain
45 mins from flypinoy 457
& 3 & a half hrs from srwong if shes up to it?
anyone else want to do it???

we can pick out a date & make a reservation or something...
it should be fun, ive never done this B4 & always wanted to try it

Post by **Hussain** » Sat May 01, 2010 1:01 pm

eh, never really been a fan of indoor kart racing. we got one close to sacramento raceway. its called RPM. it's like $30 or $40 for 5 min and I kept getting black flagged cuz I guess I was drifting or something lol not too sure about infineon raceway's schedule but sacramento raceway is open on some saturdays BUT its either $30 or $50 depending on what event you go to. grudge fest is I think $30 and "test and tune" is $50. these events cost more BUT you can run your car as many times as you want. I remember running my car and then coming right back and going again right away lol so it has its pros and cons. cons being the cost, pros being everything else.

I probably wont be racing my car though. due to the fact that my tires are 100% bald and look like slicks

Post by **Flypinoy457** » Sat May 01, 2010 7:09 pm

Hussain - Yeah Saturdays will probably better for me and I'm fine with $50 track fee's, as long as I get to run at least 1 or 2 times. As for time periods I'm pretty busy the month of May with work and other stuff, but I'm assuming other people will be busy also with finals. So maybe shoot for 1st or 2nd weekend in June? Maybe you can get some new tires by then too. Big reason why I got my new set up was my tires were completely shot. Only 24k miles on the car too, but from what I read on the forums pretty common.

Post by **Hussain** » Sat May 01, 2010 9:07 pm

lol with the $30 or $50 days, you can easily get in 30 runs if you want. BUT its mostly hella fast cars so be prepared to lose a lot lol they put me against a C6 Z06 and I was like wtf??? 500 hp car against mine

I saw 9 sec cars and their was a truck that was doing 7's! 7 seconds in the 1/4 mile! its insane... fun to watch too so if anyone doesnt want to run, they can still have lots of fun watching. 2nd week of June sounds good (I got something going on, on June 5th).

Post by **srwong** » Sat May 01, 2010 9:20 pm

beginning of june is bad for me, i have surgery

Post by **mmx23z** » Thu May 06, 2010 10:43 am

sorry guys havent been on in a while, was sick,birthday 2 days ago & just found out my dog needs $500 dollar eye surgery... FML lol but anyways lets make this official then?! a date & time?

Post by **RicerX** » Thu May 06, 2010 10:47 am

This sounds like so much fun, but unfortunately, I'm in AL. CA is a bit of a drive from here. lol

Post by **Hussain** » Thu May 06, 2010 12:38 pm

ok so wednesdays are probably not the best because people have work and the only people actually close to the track are me and mmx23z. soooo "grudge fest" or "test and tune" it is... those events are saturdays and sundays.... my biggest concern is the weather. If its hot outside, no one will get good times PLUS it gets to 100+ degrees in sac sometimes so that would also make it an unpleasant meet. sooooo should we set-up a more distant date like October or November?

Post by **mmx23z** » Thu May 06, 2010 12:50 pm

damn, i still problably to to the track b4 then just cuz i wanna record my times after each mod... but im down to do it later... should have my car fully done by then lol u should check both sacs & infineons (infineon should have cooler weather no?) calendars to find out the exact date & hopefully some people will stop being shy by then

Post by **Hussain** » Thu May 06, 2010 2:41 pm

Sacramento raceway and some other track on the east coast have the fastest times. sacramento raceway has an elevation of pretty much 0 ft. the lower the elevation, the faster the car goes (plus wind and heat factors). but ya you should go to the track before and after mods to see how much of a difference it has made. wednesdays are good for me and you because we're close but a big meet will need some time..... plus keep in mind when testing your car that its going to be hot in sac in like a month and I ran my car in the cold and in the heat and their was almost 1 sec difference! 13.912 in the cold and like a 14.8 in the heat... with the same exact set-up

Post by **mmx23z** » Fri May 07, 2010 12:56 pm

thats crazy... yea im ordering my header hopefully 2nite & next wedsday that its somewhat cool ima head out to the track & see where im at in my 1/4 mile after my bolt ons if u wanna go... i just better be outta the 16s lol

Post by **Hussain** » Fri May 07, 2010 3:45 pm

lol ya you better get out of the 16's. my mom used to have a 2005 2.5s Altima 5 speed. thats the car I was driving when I first got my license. I never took it to the track but I raced my friend's 5 speed dodge neon and would barely beat him... he went to the track with his neon and got a 16.1 soooo I'm thinking my mom's 2005 STOCK 2.5s sedan was about 16.0 or 15.9 I'll see whats up. wednesday is my last day of class (till my finals) and also the day before my mom's B-day so I might be busy.... most of my family has May B-days. mine is coming up soon (May 16th).

Post by **mmx23z** » Fri May 07, 2010 4:03 pm

lol nice!! mine was may 4th, just turned 22....
sounds so old

lol
but yea... i thought... i read that altima coupes 2.5 ran 15.8 somewere
so i was all excited goin to the track got there & hit 16.6 fml!
the only thing more emberrasing then that was the eclipse racing my that hit 18 something lmao

Post by **big_rig** » Fri May 07, 2010 4:58 pm

my bad guys, i haven't logged on in a while, my boss had a heart attack and i've been working like 15 hour days, so i have not had a whole lot of free time lately. im hella down to make a track meet. i will admit, i didnt read all the posts before i posted this, but do we have any dates set?

Post by **mmx23z** » Fri May 07, 2010 6:19 pm

i figured.... lol

I'm turning 22! lol so you're 12 days older then me.

how cold was it when you ran 16's? because weather makes a HUGE difference. I get my best times at night right before the track closes when its like 60 degrees.

and big rig, I was wondering where you were... we were missing you and aaron (chiapetchua)... I havent talked to aaron in hella long

Post by **mmx23z** » Fri May 07, 2010 6:43 pm

lol i dont remember what the weather was like.... it was like 2 yrs ago lol maybe it was hot... i dunno im just super excited im finally orderingmy headers lol ive been wanting them since they came out

Post by **Hussain** » Fri May 07, 2010 6:49 pm

ya that should be a nice upgrade. remember to do that think that the member with the silver sedan (I think his SN is like "ElBlackey" or something like that) was saying so you don't get a check engine light.

Post by **mmx23z** » Fri May 07, 2010 6:59 pm

yea, imma ask him when i get it & am ready to put it on, but yea.. if i can get cooler weather & these bolt ons i better be in low 15s??? hoping thats not too much to ask lol (assuming i did track it on a hot day last time)
