[contraption22]

This year's annual DV-SDAC Cecil County Invasion Day will be Saturday November 22nd!

All are welcome. It's a regular test & tune day at the track. Gates open 8am.

$35 to race!

Come on out! It's always a great time!

[moparzrule]

I will try to be there!

[neonkitten63]

[J&G_BlueGLH]

We'll be there with Greg's GLH.. he's hoping to make some passes again this year.. and of course a bunch of the SV-SDAC aka SV-TD gang will be there in full force as well! :) Cant wait!

[Pat]

I'm in as usual...racing something.

[DaveSkrab]

I'll be there, Maybe I'll bring the ZR1 so I can take Ruthie for a ride! Wait, that sounds bad... in a good way though.:evil: :love: Or maybe it'll just be the rusty looking CSXT that I've got.

[neonkitten63]

LOL....Dave you are so bad! The T will do ;)

[Pat]

LOL....Dave you are so bad! The T will do ;)

I think you need to discipline him.....

[85glht]

Cool!! I will keep the date open and will try to come down weather permitting :thumb:

[89boostedminivan]

i mite have to go to this, im in newark,DE only like 20mins from cecil, have to see what the van is running :)

[contraption22]

Looks like cecil has changed their schedule. We'll probably have to change the date.

[Turbo3Iroc]

This isn't the first time, seems as though they like the crisp air down there also. They must get big $ to rent the track on a Sat.

[moparzrule]

Whats wrong with the 8th, it's sooner!

[contraption22]

Whats wrong with the 8th, it's sooner!

The 8th looks to be a real possibility. The only downside is for those that wanted to attend both the Cecil and Turbopalooza events, they would be on the same day, although it seems fewer and fewer people from the the OVC will be likely to attend.

[neonkitten63]

Invasion Day - 22nd
Rain Date - 29th

[moparzrule]

+1 because the later we wait the more chance we could get snowed out!

[mopar-tech]

Looks like cecil has changed their schedule. We'll probably have to change the date.

I'll keep an eye on the date bro, I'd like to make the trip down!

The Man! The Myth! The Legend! It would be really great to see you again!
How's the EVO comming along!? haha

[Turbo3Iroc]

What happened to the 8th?

[neonkitten63]

What happened to the 8th?

The original date was the 15th but then the mustang guys rented out the track so we moved Invasion day to the 22nd.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Yes I saw that the mustang group rented the track but the last time I checked in here it looked like the new date was the 8th. Now I see posts edited to reflect the 22nd.

[moparzrule]

Well I dunno if I'm gonna do the 22nd. Thats pretty late, you guys might get snowed out. Think I'm gonna go to mason dixon on october 25th and cecil on the 8th for my last blast.

[contraption22]

The 22nd was actually the original date chosen by the DVSDAC but I mistakenly posted the date as the 15th. The 22nd gives us more time to get ready in between events if people are planning to attend both Turbopolooza and Cecil day.

Snow before January is fairly rare in Maryland, even more so before Thanksgiving. We have a backup date of the 29th if needed. Also cecil is open thru mid december weather permitting.

[Turbo3Iroc]

The 22nd I can deal with but we see snow flying up here earlier. Once the salt flies my cars are parked.

[neonkitten63]

Ok. :)

[mcsvt]

More time to get something ready for me :)

[turbojerk]

Daum the 22nd....

Maybe we should all bring a coverd dish and deep-fry a turkey in the pits..... Haha!

[moparzrule]

Leave it to you to think about food at a car event Troy haha.

[turbojerk]

Leave it to you to think about food at a car event Troy haha.

I guess that you didn't catch the "Thanksgiving" joke in that.......:confused2:

[moparzrule]

Sure I did, but I just thought it was funny. Everybody knows how close that the 22nd is to thanksgiving but you are still the only one that thought about food! :p

[briceturbosports]

um fryed turkey :D

[MOPAR_AMC_FAN]

New guy here. How many people (or cars) usually show up to this? The wife and kids and I are heading to VA for Thanksgiving. If I can talk her into driving again, maybe we could hit this on the way down. Not that I have anything I could run yet... Well, nothing turbo or FWD. ;)

[moparzrule]

Last year was atleast a dozen cars and 20 people, atleast.

[mopar-tech]

I'm planning on coming down with the new car =)

Mike are we ready for that 10sec side by side pass

Pat sorry to hear that, I like watching it run

[Csx254]

Hey bruce, looking forward to seeing the omni go! Is Greg coming as well with the charger?

Hey all, whats the total number so far? We have small group form up here in Allentown. Just curious. Any of you guys in CT coming again?

[turbojerk]

There's a pile of SV-TD members that will be there!

Hoagie will be racing too, at least that's what he told me....

I'm definitely going to be there racing something...just not the Shadow. Barry Miles is also going to be there with the GRM Charger. There are also a few others from the DC area heading up, I'm just not sure who is going to be racing or not.

Felt bad for you guys last year with the rain cancelation. I was pissed and I only drove two hours to get there! However, looked at the extended forecast, and all looks good! can't wait!

If anyone can use some of these parts, I will bring them with me. Let me know.

Well combining cooler weather, cam setup, and chemical enhancement... it's a possibility that I could cross into the 10's, but I don't wanna jinx myself.

[mcsvt]

hmm I could race the Durango... Just to see what it can do. I really want to SC it some day... turbo would be more fun, but then I'd need a welder so I can build some manifolds. :)

[VVLtrain]

Trying to get my buddy's 16v (Full swap non hybrid) Omni down there from NJ. We've been playing with his stand alone (FAST) on and of during the week (our schedules are too busy to afford any time :( ) and trying to work out the bugs.

This will be its maiden extended voyage. Driving it to the track and racing and hopefully driving it home (about 3 Hours each way) Everyone cross their fingers! We may try to do some boost tuning on the way. :eyebrows:

Know what sucks???


NOT having a garage to work in when it's in the 30's outside. F-me it's cold out! Have to come back inside every 15 minutes so my hands don't get frostbite. Almost done though, just have to get the timing belt on and valve cover back on, couple sensor's plugged in and should be good to go.

I feel your pain, I was out in my unheated garage and I was still freezing!

[moparzrule]

Even a garage would have been nice cuz the wind was kickin too. Wind chill was below 30. Got it done though, fired up and ran it, set the base ignition timing...tomorrow night I'll go do some driving and tuning to get ready for saturday. Talk about last minute just getting it done! :yuck:

With your software can you go from 8mm to digital? I have a audio/video bridge somewhere but it's been years since I have messed with that stuff. it may not be beneficial for me to tape to 8mm.

Probably take awhile to get through PA, we got hit with a good amount of snow today especially in the northern counties.

[pokadot1]

I hate to be "pain" But there is snow on the ground here 13 miles from the track. SH T I hate snow. Not that much,,, but it covers the ground and roads.
Cliff

[J&G_BlueGLH]

Yea we're bailin. We got hit pretty good up here today.. no sake in riskin it w/a truck and trailer when there is ice and stuff around... It took me 3 hours to get home from work, when it should only take 15 mins. Hope you have a good time for those that go..

[moparzrule]

Still up in the air for me. Gonna see what the roads are like tomorrow morning, maybe give the track a call or whatever.

[mcsvt]

I'm ready to go, if the track is closed somebody post, I'll be leaving around 7am.

[Turbo3Iroc]

I just got in at the old Crystal Inn. There is a very light coating of snow on the grass. Should melt off pretty easy.

[Xtrempickup]

good luck to everyone tomorrow. i hope to see some good videos of running

[moparzrule]

Roads look dry, so I'll be rolling out here in the next few minutes. Called cecil, they say they are open. But hopefully the weather keeps lots of people away so we can get tons of runs in!

[mcsvt]

Heading out in a few minutes also. See everybody there.

Thinking about going to atco, who all is going? Just 2 people? It's 2.5 hours away for me.

Edit-changed my mind, gotta get some boosting issues under control first. Have fun. See you all next week at cecil.

[Pat]

I'm out for Atco....have a great time everyone!

[Csx254]

Two years in a row...maybe we should schedule this event earlier in the fall, say October. Just my two cents.

[Xtrempickup]

earlier in the fall would be a good idea, it got cold in a hurry this year, I raced last weekend and it was damn cold, i could only imagine what today is like, ice on the track, its gotta be in the upper 20s low 30s, that does wonders for tire spin. I was trying to get to Island for the last day of the season for tomorrow but couldnt get anybody to cover for me.

[moparzrule]

Two years in a row...maybe would should schedule this event earlier in the fall, say October. Just my two cents.

If the damn mustang guys wouldn't have rented the track on the 15th we would have been done and had fun already.

But anyway, I thought the ''rain/snow date'' was the 29th? Isn't anybody else going next week?

["Top Fuel" Bender]

we were going to go earlier but the mustang rental and turbopoloza moving back and forth messed everything up

[g0bbledeeg00k]

I wish I had known before I made it all the way to the Maryland House rest stop...

[Reeves]

So what's going on? Did most people go to Atco? Ready for results!

(anxiously awaiting)

[turbo2point2]

I wound up going to Atco today as did a few others. Not many cars showed up for t&t, around 40. I rolled in around 9:30, unloaded the car from the trailer and realized I had a frozen motor. When I flipped the water pump switch on, the fuse blew. So it took a bit of warming up to get the water flowing.

By the time I had the water moving and ready to run it was after 12 noon. I rolled into the lanes and up through the water box. Do a decent burnout to get the new slicks warm. Stage, and leave at about 4 psi, running on wastegate springs-12 psi, 1st run:

r/t... -.013 red,whoops
60'... 1.886
330... 4.866
1/8... 7.277
mph... 101.10
1000... 9.390
1/4... 11.201
mph... 123.91

Wow!! I was shocked. The car felt great, drove nice, and pulled hard. Head back to the pits to look things over. Forgot to datalog that run(doh!) I felt that the car had a 10 sec pass in it with a better short time. 2nd pass:

r/t... .319, wow I suck
60'... 1.663
330... 4.523
1/8... 6.897
mph... 102.06
1000'... 9.000
1/4... 10.803
mph... 125.13

Awesome!! I knew it had it in it. If I was able to cut a regular 60' she might have gone low .60 but I will save that for a later date. I did get a third and fourth pass, 3rd pass was a mirror image to the 2nd and for the final pass I tried to load it a bit harder only to spin and ran an 11.23.

I am very pleased with how the car turned out. Unfortunately, a few months behind schedule but I did reach my goal of getting the BSX down the track in '08. Thanks to everyone who helped today. Mike Marra, Ruthie, Gary, Justin Cronk, Kelly G, I needed the support!! I know some of those guys got some good video, so when I have a link I will post it.

[moparzrule]

Nice! Are you coming to cecil next week Brian?

[Turbo3Iroc]

If the damn mustang guys wouldn't have rented the track on the 15th we would have been done and had fun already.

But anyway, I thought the ''rain/snow date'' was the 29th? Isn't anybody else going next week?

Last Sat was a rain out also and they are scheduled for Sun for a makeup date. Also was mentioned it rained on Nov. 8th since that was mantioned as a possible date also.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Made 4 or so passes, nothing spectacular. Slips are still in the car but my best was only a 12.6 at 110 or 111.

This was a Jr Dragster event and once they started running rounds it seems they forgot about TnT. By 2 most of them had left anyway.

Good seeing Brian getting down the track again. 2009 looks very promising for the BSX. :nod::hail:

I'm all done for the year. Got to roll out to Ohio and visit the family next weekend.

Good day, but I'm just finally warming up. Fricken cold!!

Nice to see everybody though. Hope Dave's car is ok.

Last Sat was a rain out also and they are scheduled for Sun for a makeup date. Also was mentioned it rained on Nov. 8th since that was mantioned as a possible date also.

It rained on the 15th too? I know about the 8th, cuz I made it all the way down to the track to find that the gates were closed....also called the hotline and they still hadn't updated it, it said they were open. Bastards.
But the 15th was a decent day in south central PA, and cecil typically has the same weather we do.
So cecil hasn't been open for the last 3 saturdays? LOL, wtf!!! Well I've been looking at weather.com and it's all clear for next weekend. No snow or rain from wednesday on and the temp's in the 40's for saturday. Not that the weather people have always been right, it changes daily, but I'm just being hopeful LOL.

I'm out for next weekend. Got too much family shi.....tuff going on next weekend.

[Pat]

I'm out too...I'll be in NY with family. Thanksgiving weekend is just a rough weekend for most. Maybe if the track is open in early December I'll run up for last few passes.

I think it was a coastal Nor-Easter type storm on the 15th. It rained all day here in CT also.

Well I was gonna go racing with Bruce today, but looks like I need a new lower hose. Looks like it was rubbing against the front motor mount. Nobody has a lower hose for it in this area. I have one comming from RockAuto.

You talking about the lower intercooler hose? I thought Omnipotent has them:

I didn't think you could still get them anywhere else? BTW, I know I still need to pick up my part from you :)

No, the lower radiator hose, but thanks for looking out for me!

Can't you just use a non-intercooled lower rad hose, cut it down some to shorten it, and put a connector in it? The non-IC hose is $10 at autozone.

Do ya fricken think??? wow.......

Can always count on someone having a stupid remark...


Anyway, brian, those are some nice numbers. Glad to see the shadow out and about again.

Actually Mike I mistyped.....Omnipotent, from the link I sent you, sells the lower RADIATOR hose, not the intercooler hose.

I totally mistyped that, I should damn well know by know your intercooled is far from stock lol. Anyway, sounds like you got what you needed, but the link I posted does have the whole set of *radiator* hoses (still cannot believe I mistyped that lol)

I can, and do use that hose, but nobody within a reasonable driving distance had it in stock or was open sunday morning.

I believe that I have a very unhappy rod bearing. I'm glad it showed its face now and not waited till next spring to do so.
Now I have something to do this winter:rolleyes:
