Facepalm plus rolleyes.......lol Just waiting for winter to finish. I have no desire to go out and lay on cold concrete. You need to get that thing ready and come with us to Norwalk and Thompson this spring!

His car has the power equivalent to a cow powered by a mouse fart, but then again I might be really full of shit. Mystery is good for the imagination Howdy Chuck...........hows life going?

lol.....idiots

PM'd

Bump.........especially for you bragging 700+rwhp guys. Lets see what your shit runs at the track

You can PM Joel Walter as he is a member here and a long time trusted friend of mine. He owns his construction company specializing in remodeling. http://www.njwconstruction.com or http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/member.php?u=5095

They are leaving soft. With that mph it could of been an easy 9.50 pass if they could of launched harder and pulled around 1.4 60fts. 1.6 60s is more in range with 11 to 12 second cars, generally speaking

They are neat but they really lack rigidity. Great for plastic and circuit board but thats about it. A coworker had made a few of them lathe and mill, neat machines but almost worthless.

Very true but I was hoping someone might of had inside info to maybe a reopening or something

What ever happend to this place? It was a lot of fun going there and racing the go carts. There interenet site mentions a possible re opening but I think it has said that for a couple years now. http://www.speeds.cc/

Be careful of winning because the king dick Richard will reward you with a higher ranking. Keep lots of innings and sometimes sand bag now to win later down the road

Well call me a dumbass then, also one that lives in cardboard box if that makes you happy, and one that likes things that are easy enough a monkey can do. Once I grenade this c4 again a Rossler 400 will sit in its place. You can have your c6

If the c6 is such a popular swap, why not is there more people doing it over the th400??? Maybe because the aftermarket for a 400 is freakin huge unlike the c6

The pure fun of pin your ass back in the seat accelleration, consistency, and less worry of part failure

Thats a friend of mine "Jay". I was actually just talking with him lastnigt trying to convince him to put a th400 in it and get rid of the TKO. He has an 8 second ride with ease!

PTC can build a great converter for 1/2 the price of some of these others.

You guys get to hung on dyno numers that do not mean shit at the track

X2

Yeah he did. I was shocked as hell when he told me he was at trails then trailered up to Norwalk. Koolrayz Sorry to see that happen. I tried to find ya later on that night but you were not near your car. They try to run that event pretty quickly. Hope to see you back up there! I am going to talk to trails about getting a class something like that up at trails for next year

Big thank you for taking that!! I believe that was my 2nd pass and I had Randy Barch up there with me help tune it. Best pass ended up being a 9.24 @147. I upped the launch rpm from 2200 to 2700 and we added more timing in for the last pass but it just blew the tires loose. If it would of hooked i would of assumed to be an 9 teen pass. Watching the video its funny as it looks like a slow car

It was pretty nice out as no body was really there. I ran my best times to date for trails

I plan on heading back up. Going to hit trails friday night for a little testing, I need to get closer to that 8.90 to 9.0 range. Chaos is really a great event

Anyone have a set of the inner fenders for 91-93 mustang??? Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking the pics! Norwalk is one hell of a track and they know how to run a event. TO bad trails can not be able to have something like this. There were some bad ass cars up there! This 1st photo was me waiting right after Koolrayz engine let go and oiled the track. Sad to see that happen http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w243/dropdatbirth/chaos/2101.jpg http://s178.photobucket.com/albums/w243/dropdatbirth/chaos/?action=view&current=2069.jpg
