MCR parts test and tune up at NED
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: TorchRedSVT
Hey guys, so after talking to a bunch of you over the past two weeks it seems like there is some interest in figuring out a day and having a group go up to the drag strip for a test and tune day.
So I know there is Tasca day out there on the 5th, and I'll include it in the possible dates but it's a busy day at the track with the show and the official event....so it might make sense to just do a test and tune instead.
Who would be interested and which date would work best? this wouldn't be until the end of Sept or first half of Oct to take advantage of the nice cool air.
My vote goes for 10/18, the dates below are some of the test and tune dates..feel free to suggest another one. I didn't go too deep into October as the weather tends to be unstable and NED does 1/8 mile when it gets cold

The october 18 looks good, I have plans for october 5, I'll be at tasca running my car....

I don't know that I'd do anything with my own car, but I'd love to at least watch. Doubtful I could make any other date than October 18th.

This is a great idea, as I was looking to do this regardless.
*NOTE* To Mr. Mach_1 (JIMBO)..........Great opp to get your car down the track. We want to see the new VP of NHMC......run down the Track!!!!!!!!!!! Do it, Do it!!!!!!
Posted by: TorchRedSVT
good response so far.....i'll keep this open atleast until the end of next week so as to give people time to plan accordingly.
Right now 10/18 seems to be the best date
tony, it would be AWESOME if you were to run your car. Sorry to use the MCR parts name but it was all I could come up with at the last second.

You'd have to hire a driver too Ed! lolI am bringing the converter back down to Ultimate this week. Eric put an additional cooling cannister in the car so it holds about 12 quarts of tranny fluid now (the second reservoir is in back of the car so that there is plenty of circulation for the fluid). The tranny is generating no heat anymore, except when I am standing on the transbrake for 10-12 seconds to build boost, which is due to the fact the converter is too tight. We had to make it tight to solve the heat problem, but the heat problem is gone now, so loosening the converter will let me spool up fast. Eric was also kind enough to throw the Weldon from his race car on mine since my Weldon would never support 25-30#'s of boost (for those that saw me make my one pass in True Street, you may have heard me cut out three times during my pass, which was the pump not being able to keep up with the 25# setting). Precision says the setup I have is good for 1350 hp, but they also warned me I can kiss my Lentech goodbye!! lol May be time to go to a turbo 400 and skip OD....with 3.27's in the car now you can comfortably cruise the highway in 3rd gear, so OD may not be necessary. All I know is one of these street nights soon spectators are in for a treat!!

Let me know when that night is. I've always wanted to see an airplane run the 1/4 mile

As this really wise Turbo car driver once told me, "Dyno numbers don't matter if you can't do it on track"
All I need is one miscalculation on your part and you guys will never hear the end of it!!

It's cool and flattering that you guys would take it upon yourselves to do an event like this.I would do more events and stamp my name on it,but treading water over here like everyone else right now.
Posted by: jmac72187
We should all rep MCR apparel and sticker that day so that everyone at the T&T sees it and checks out the site.

Nice swirl marks!!!

bump...im going to close the poll this week and probably start another thread in Oct for this
Posted by: TorchRedSVT
bump....anyone still interested in this?
I am still planning to go as my schedule just opened up
Posted by: LILBLKSNAKE
I'll be in RI.
Hope you guys get some nice cool passes in!!
Posted by: jmac72187
I might be. I was planning that cruise/photo shoot that day. Maybe we could do it as one event. I don't know that I will run. I sold my DR's.
Posted by: TorchRedSVT
we could make a day of it...spend the first half at the track...second half going for a cruise
Matt, test and tune is treated as it's own class that day...so we'd be called up to run during whatever event is going on that day. Reason for going on a saturday as opposed to a street night is the track is properly prepped and # of runs you'll get in.
Posted by: 1BADSNK
If I can get the rear cover bracket on before then I would like to go. Bracket should be in on friday. So its just a matter of finding a night I can get it on my father in laws lift. Any word on the format?? Never been

Posted by: 1BADSNK
Ian, I wont be able to make it next weekend(18th). The car is going under the knife that weekend in hopes to be ready for dyno day. I wanted to get things done this weekend but it just didnt work out.
Posted by: TorchRedSVT
No worries bro, as we talked bout yesterday, my plans for this weekend have changed as well and I won't be in attendance.
Posted by: EastCoast5.0
I wont be there either now that CMDR is there. I'm going up the 25/26th.
