[BadAssPerformance]

Its that time again, and once again, fellow SDAC enthusiast Mike Stimac is campaigning his '88 Daytona CS, with Steve Calder as co-driver.

Mike's Website:

2006 schedule:
http://www.onelapofamerica.com/history/schedule.shtml?y=2006

Look and see what events are near you and try to make it out to support the crew!

Additional Mopar drivers in the event include:

Rick & John Schopp & Chad Milliman - Carpentersville, IL - '98 Dodge Neon

Steve Loudin (Grayslake IL) & Aaron Vanassche (Schaumburg IL) - 2006 Dodge
Magnum SRT8

Dale Seeley (Marietta GA) Jamin Cummings (Bethlehem PA) Nancy Becker (Victor NY) - 2004 Dodge SRT-4

and of course the Chrysler SRT team of Dave Zelkowski and Erich Heuschele
driving a Jeep SRT-8...

Lets get out and support them!

[2.216VTurbo]

Yeah, Mike has a few power 'improvements' this year:thumb: GT-30R, better boost control, and of course the baffled oil pan that he really needed last year:o

Let's see how well a properly set up Masi 16V motor can motivate his Daytona:eyebrows:

Are Mike and Steve here? I'm at the hotel and was at Tire Rack earlier, but I haven't seen them yet. I did talk to Dave Z. and Erich briefly a while ago.

I'm with Dale Seeley's media team this year. http://www.lake-effect-racing.com/ We just posted the first pictures from this morning, and there are lots more coming. Let us know if there is something in particular you'd like to see pics or video of during the event, and we'll try to accomodate you. We already have lined up to get in-car video from the SRT8 Jeep.

I'm sportin' my turbo-mopar.com t-shirt today! :D

My money is on the Ultima GTR in the parking lot.

I need to find out the VIR schedule. It'd be cool to go but I can't make it till later in the day. :(

[CSX321]

Finally saw them after the drivers meeting. I took a picture of the Daytona after we got back to the hotel. It's up on the Web site now: http://www.lake-effect-racing.com

[GLHSKEN]

Frank, decals did not make it in time.

BUT, we will have all the updates passed to us from SC. He has my ph #'s and should be calling. I will type up the reports.

Dave, Remind steve to give me a shout. AND most importantly, pass along everyone's wishes.

[BadAssPerformance]

Can you UPS Saturday deliver the Decals to my house? I can deliver them to Mike tomorrow at Autobahn....

[GLHSKEN]

Appreciate the thought... No big deal. The car will wear the decal later. This was the 2nd of TM's sponsorships of members in the racing world. LOL Steve appreciated the gas money :thumb: I just want them to show well.

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool, we'll be rooting them on for sure :thumb:

[CSX321]

Will do.

[csracer]

I created a website for Mike, it has some info about the car and his current and past One Lap efforts. We were so busy getting the car ready this week, I forgot to ask Mike if they would have the means to send me pics and updates from the road. Here is the link to his site, be sure to check it out.

I'm with Dale Seeley's media team this year. http://www.lake-effect-racing.com/
I'm sportin' my turbo-mopar.com t-shirt today! :D

I should have marked my calendar in advance.
I just called Dale on his cell to check if there were any open slots for the road course in Topeka. (He said there were only a couple left, and I registered online while we were still on the phone)
He apologized in advance in case he offended me in his current well-lubricated condition (after hangin out with ovc guys its really tough to get offended by anything).
He mentioned a couple of vehicles that he thought would be pretty tough including an Evo.
He even took the time to direct me to lake-effect.

Good luck guys.

[sdac guy]

From the Lake Effect Racing website, as of about 11am ...


With most of the wet skid pad event complete, FWD turbo Dodges have 3 of the top 4 spots. Steve Calder is in first again this year in the '88 Daytona

Congrats guys!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Way to go! :cheer2: :cheer2:

Barry

[GLHSKEN]

:peace: :peace: :banaride: :banaride:

Great job Mopar!!!

[CSX321]

I posted some more pics of Mike, Steve, and the car on the Lake Effect site. I have video of Steve's complete skid pad run, which I will try to put up shortly. We're currently on the way to Autobahn. Using a cell modem; ain't technology wonderful?

[2.216VTurbo]

Sweet, Mike has the lead after the wet skid pad competition FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW:eyebrows: By the way he didn't just edge out the competion by a few thousandths of a G, he annihilated them:thumb:

Waiting rabidly for results while reassembling my own 16V Masi motor...

Proud day for us TC fans:clap2:

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm rolling south in a couple minutes to go to Autobahn...

[sdac guy]

Three vids of the skidpad action are on the LER website (and a lot of pics). The Jeep SRT/8 sounds baaadddd. Calder's winning effort is there too. He got a .910 G for the two way average around the wet loop in Mike's 88 Daytona CS.

Here's the link again so folks won't have to scroll back to the beginning of the thread.

Barry

[BadAssPerformance]

Good time spectating at Autobahn this afternoon :thumb: Got some pics and video too.

Hung out with Mike & Steve before Steve ran the time trial there. Met up with Craig too. Never saw David, guess he was to busy filming.

[GLHSKEN]

That "data" cam is awesome to watch with the telemetry it provides.

[BadAssPerformance]

That is cool. Wonder if I can somehow sequence in a roll bar camera with the live data-aq on the laptop *scratches head*

[sdac guy]

I got a call from Mike yesterday afternoon and he needs a clutch for the car. I gave him a couple phone numbers he was looking for. He didn't say how bad it was, and they were still heading toward LA for the event today. I haven't heard anything since.

After yesterdays stint they are 2nd in class, and 12th overall.

Barry

[2.216VTurbo]

I noticed he had slipped way back during run #2 at Mid America, I was hoping it was just a spin and not mechanical trouble:(

Barry, let the list know where the all night tranny R&R is going to be. I am sure there are some of us in the area that can chase parts or lend a hand.

[GLHSKEN]

Steve called and left a message for me at work. They are pleased with the car and the 1st run at no problem, the clutch held. He indicated Cindy had provided parts should they need them.

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool. Hopefully the few hundred mile trip between events let teh clutch re-bed itself

[GLHSKEN]

LOL... Last night was 1000 miles!!!!! I'm sure there was some playing with it going on.

[BadAssPerformance]

LOL, yep. You know, sometimes it just needs a tad more wear to get into the next notch on the adjuster :thumb:

[GLHSKEN]

10th overall... The RX7 is now 12th overall. Funny thing is The RX7 is 10 points ahead in class??? Makes no sense.

The Daytona is second in class and beating the 1st in class car overall.

They ran very well at no problem.

[2.216VTurbo]

Yeah, you might say they had no problem at No Problem:lol:

10th overall is very, very strong for a 15+ yo car:thumb:

No more clutch issues then??

Wonder what that Honda has in it...

[CSX321]

Wonder what that Honda has in it...
Not sure, but it is supercharged. We are going to try to get some more info on it today.

[fleckster]

The forecast for today at Putnam Park looks to be very soggy...do they still run the event in the pouring rain? That could be bad. But then again, Steve does kick butt in the wet stuff!!! :nod: :thumb: :amen:

[BadAssPerformance]

At Autobahn (after placing 1st overall on the wet skidpad) Mike and Steve were both hoping for a week of rain :thumb: The RX-7 they are vying for 1st with in class is fast as hell on the dry, but they gotta have an advantage over it on the wet. :D

[GLHSKEN]

Drag racing should be fun as well... That civic is unbelievable as well. Econo-car class??? WHY... wish I knew more about the rules. econo-car calss sounds like a stock vehicle class.

[GLHSKEN]

Dave Z in the Jeep is doing well also. LOL a jeep beating a Z06 overall Priceless

[fleckster]

If I remember correctly, Ken, the Hooters Omni was entered in the Economy Car Class. I think that's the problem with the OLOA, the rules often don't make sense and are even sometimes changed on the spot when things come up solely at the decision of Brock Yates, Sr. I know the guys that raced "The Green Brick", the '69 Plymouth Valiant from Mopar Action magazine have complained about it in print a bunch. I think they just don't like it when a former New Jersey Bell foreman's car goes out and whips some of the world's more exotic performance cars. They don't think that reading about a half '85 and half '86 Dodge Omni or an original 198ci Slant Six Plymouth Valiant passing a Z06 on a road coarse is great material for their magazine!

[BadAssPerformance]

Mike Stimac won the Econo class in 2000 (I think)...

[BadAssPerformance]

I think they could have raced in Econo if they wanted to by the rules:

Class Structure

1. Sports/GT cars over $40,000 – Engine displacement 3.5L and over
2. Sports/GT cars over $40,000 – Engine displacement under 3.5L
3. Sports/GT cars under $40,000 – Engine displacement 3.5L and over
4. Sports/GT cars under $40,000 – Engine displacement under 3.5L
5. Mid-priced sedans and wagons $20,000-$40,000
6. Economy cars under $20,000
7. Luxury sedans and wagons over $40,000
8. Sport Utility vehicles and pickups all price ranges
9. Classic American: All domestically produced vehicles built prior to
1985, including street rods, specials, etc.
10. Classic Imported: All types built prior to 1985
11. Alternate Fuel class-including hybrids, electric, diesels, etc.
12. Retro: Vehicles intended to reflect past trends or models, Minis, etc.

Note: Classification based on categories in the Car and Driver New Car Buyer’s Guide. The editors will be the final authority in any disputes.

[sdac guy]

Mike told me last year that he wanted to be in Econo again, but Brock wouldn't allow it. The mods done to the car carry some weight in classification. I think Brock wants the cars in a class to be competitive. Mike's car as it sits could possibly dominate Econo, but look how close it is to the RX7.

Barry

[mcsvt]

Yeah I just looked at the individual event standings for the first time and I have to say they are doing great in the Daytona against all those cars.

We just posted a great interview with the driver of the Civic. Also there's a video where you can see the Adee Viper spinning around a few times.

http://www.lake-effect-racing.com/

[2.216VTurbo]

Mike Stimac won the Econo class in 2000 (I think)...

Lets not forget what turbo Dodge won the econ class in '95:eyebrows:

You can look on the OLA history/previous events to see it:thumb:

[GLHSKEN]

OUCH... they dug a hole today... rotten day for the 'tona...

[mcsvt]

Ouch is right... Still in 2nd, just gotta watch out for that ultralight coming up behind them.

[speeddemon]

I got off the phone with Mike a little bit ago. Mike was given the checkered flag at the end of his second lap yesterday but it was for the car that was coming up behind him. He cruised for about half a lap before he jumped on it again, hence the poor time.

The RX7 spun off the course and crashed this morning and ended up with a DNF for the first session at RA. Mike said the car was drivable but had suffered some bodywork damage.

Mike is not out of it yet based on the scoring system and what damage the RX7 incurred.

[GLHSKEN]

Great images from the media team:

Looks like Team Daytona could use some speed rated Duct Tape..

[speeddemon]

It looks as though they have clinched the class win!

[2.216VTurbo]

What happened at the drags, there are no results posted? Was it a rain out or what?

[CSX321]

Yeah, drags were rained out. Today was darn near snowed out. It was coming down mixed with rain last night when we stopped in Racine to eat. :eek:

[GLHSKEN]

Dave!!! Great Job with the coverage!!!

BTW, Lake effect site is slow as all get out today... That just proves the awesome job you guys are doing...

[GLHSKEN]

Almost Clinched... GREAT job... almost 20 year old car moves up a class and will repeat!!!..

Congrats Mike and Steve!!

[GLHSKEN]

[CSX321]

More info craig!!!@
They are leading, with the only event remaining being the skid pad tomorrow. From the weather report, it looks like it will be another wet skid pad, and we already know how fast Steve is there!

Thanks for the kind words. We aim to please! The site has been getting a lot of hits, about 300K a day the last couple of days. I have a service monitoring it, and it hasn't been down, though.

It's been quite an adventure, basically running One Lap without the actual racing. Our media team got a big mention on the Microsoft Xbox Project Gotham Web site today. That was cool. We did some interviews with their team, driving a red Noble M400.

1st in class and 16th overall with one more to go.....GREAT JOB:thumb:

Makes me proud to be a part of the Turbo Mopar community.

[fleckster]

and if it does end up being another wet skid pad event, they could have a very good chance of moving up a few more spots on the overall standings!!! [fingers crossed] I didn't think I'd be asking for even more rain this weekend!

[BadAssPerformance]

I'm not into the rain for IL cuz of our SDAC-Chicago meeting, but I'll do a rain dance for Indiana :thumb:

oh dont worry, its nice and wet here in central indiana.............. :)

[speeddemon]

I just talked to Mike. There was a little drama as they were having trouble getting the car into gear this morning as they headed out to Tire Rack. They made it however and Steve circled the Daytona to win their class in the dry skid pad event. With that win it more than locked up 1st in class and 16th overall. (official results here :http://onelapofamerica.com/history/results.shtml?y=2006 )

Congrats guys! Look for some coverage in the SDAC newsletter once I can get mike to write the article...:eyebrows:

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweet! btw, what is the final event (Event 20 - Tire Rack Midway GA) all about?

[sdac guy]

They pulled a .981 g on the dry skidpad!! That was good enough for 12th overall on the skidpad (and as Craig said 1st in class). Just amazing.

The GA Tire Rack event was listed last, but happened as they passed through near the Roebling Road course. It was a required route stop, but it was not scored.

Barry

[speeddemon]

The Tire Rack GA event was a "control point" and each car received 200pts for passing through the tent. I think they got fed too...

[sdac guy]

The Tire Rack GA event was a "control point" and each car received 200pts for passing through the tent.Yep, "control point" was the term I couldn't think of. :lol:

I said there weren't any points because that page has everybody's listed as zero except those that didn't make it have a -50 (scroll to the bottom). :eyebrows:

Barry

[BadAssPerformance]

Gotcha. forgot about 'control points' so GA must mean gate or soemthing...

Regardless, woo hoo! Mike & Steve did excellent, congrats! Heck, all the mopars did well, congrats to all!!!

[sdac guy]

Tire Rack GA was Tire Rack in Georgia. It was between Roebling Road and Florence Speedway on Tuesday. As an event, it is listed last, not in the order it happened (don't know why Brock did it like that).

I have quite a bit of One Lap video of the Daytona that didn't go on the Lake Effect site. I'm dumping it onto a CD for Mike. I'll see if I can squeeze some of it down to a reasonable size and post it here, too.

Got a nice little souvenir from the guys Friday night when we got back to the bar...uh...hotel...

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweeet!

[SCalder]

I want to send out a big 'THANKS!' to all of the turbo Mopar community for your support during the 2006 OLA. At almost every venue we were met by some fellow turbo Dodge enthusiasts. Thanks Craig, JT, Barry, Bill, and everyone else who stopped by and lent a hand.

I also wanted to mention that Cindy from FWD Performance was instrumental in our class win. Not only did she provide us with a 2 stage boost controller to help with the standing starts, but also went well out of her way to get us a spare clutch after we had problems at Mid America. During the second session at Mid America the clutch refused to hold much more than 10 psi boost. She arranged to have a spare clutch driven from her shop in Texas to No Problem raceway in Louisiana (5 hours away).

Thanks also to Turbo-Mopar for help with the gas money, and to our main sponsor Rock Auto for providing the registration fee. Check them out at rockauto.com.

Steve

[mcsvt]

Congrats Steve :thumb:

I looked forward to checking out the stats each day of the event. Wish I was closer to some of the venues so I could have gone and showed some support.

Once again good job :)

Absolutely Congratualtions !!

To Mike and Steve
After seeing the autographed picture I got an idea for some fund raising for your next venture. I would like to buy an autographed 4 x 6 for $10.00....or whatever you want to charge. If all 1000 of the Turbo-Mopar members got on board it wouldn't take long to fill up the gas tank a few times.

As I said in a previous post, you guys make me proud to be a part of the Turbo Mopar community. It's good to see one of "our" cars do so well. Respect is something that is earned and you guys nailed it! Congtatuations

[Directconnection]

What happened at the drag session? Haven't heard.

BTW...great job guys!

[sdac guy]

drags were rained out

Barry

[CSX321]

drags were rained out

Barry
Yep, it seemed like it rained all week. I was glad I took my rain suit. Sometimes the video camera had to be wrapped up in a Wal-Mart bag.

[Directconnection]

Drags were rained out last year as well, right?

What has the car run in the 1/4 so far?

[sdac guy]

I don't think it has been to the drag strip since the Mas motor was installed last year.

Barry

[BadAssPerformance]

Mike was going to try to get out to practice before the event, not sure what it ran...

[Directconnection]

I watched one video where the daytona made laps around a circle track. Mike or Steve, what MPH were you running down the straights and through the corners? Looks pretty darn good like a purpose built circle track car running laps.

[SCalder]

The car doesn't have a speedo, but it was the top of 3rd gear; maybe 90 mph. It would have been close to a top 10 finish if I hadn't botched the start.

Steve

[2.216VTurbo]

Steve don't devalue any part of your OLA performance, everyone here feels like you represented us extremelly well.:thumb: We are proud to call you one of us:grouphug:
