Now now Mister Buchan - baby steps for the newbie driver.... shoot for something within your range like a 14 second ghia or a single port turbo then think about the bigger fish.

But then again Miss Snapper is full of excuses this year so you won't see him at the track...

Shaner used to have a fast car... now so do alot of other people... we'll see if he wants to run race only or street legal and then I will get to hand him his ass at the track.

For me, I am No2 hunting this year, time for the wok to get cooked! I'll be playing that like a sushi chef on Robson!

So ya stick to hugging your island trees and leave the racing for use mainlanders...

Forgot to mention to all - check the rules section of the ACTop20 to see where your car should be placed. There are some new features to the list this year like:

Expanded lists - Top 15 N/A with a section of the next best 5 (so top 15 are prize catagories and the other 5 are runners up kinda idea). Same idea on Turbo No2 except it is Top 5 with a 5 spot runner up section.

ALL Entrants that place WILL recieve a prize - small or large you'll get something for your efforts besides having some fun.

NEW SPONSORS on board: LanD and Britoria and returning sponsors Franklins and Cut & Buff

And more so check it out!

Josh we'll have to see how your dedicated drag car does at the track :huh:  you better line up with dilley's ride.  Race gas vs. Race gas. If you race Tom H you'll be admiring his split window.

I wonder what 94 octane does for my street car this year  :rockon:  :rockon:

My first time down the track with my 65 I did a 12.70 with full interior and 1/2 tank of gas. That was about 4 years ago. Its been challenging to shave time on pumpgas.

I agree with Jeff. You have to pay to play.. Don't chance anything with Pump Gas... The only reason they brag about racing on Pump is because they can't afford c-16 and you can't afford not to ;)

Post by: Project Decade on April 26, 2007, 05:25:21 PM
I agree with Jeff build the car the way you want it to be and if that means on race gas then it runs on race gas. You still can drive the car on the street no madder what gas you use. This hole thing about running on pump gas ho cares. I have seen that car run and if it where me I would put it back the way it was, not many cars up here N/A run as fast as that car did. Just my 2 cents.
Title: Where's All The Smack?
Post by: josh on April 26, 2007, 08:58:52 PM
I bought this car with the intention of running it on the street mainly. Realistically I might make it to mission 3-4 times a season and our piss ass track at western speedway isn't worth it to me to have a dedicated race car.
Title: Where's All The Smack?
Post by: AlanU on April 26, 2007, 09:46:06 PM
Jeff lovells former car was a dedicated drag car.

Josh, just bump the engine c/r to 14:1 and drive that drag car and race it with Terry Hoogstin, Cosgrave (sp?) or Dilleys drag car. Why race a street car on pumpgas if your in a differnt league. You'd never see Terry H taunt anyone with a street car to a race against his consistant dedicated bracket racing beetle.

We can smack all we want but heres my take on things. Pumpgas is by far harder to make a car go faster than a car on race gas...duhhhhhh. If you have a dedicated drag car NA run it with the big boys. But heres the thing... If your an enthusiast you can run pump or race gas its your car.

A different category is the street car with nitrous or turbo. You can run pump on the street and when you take it to the track you can increase the boost or Nitrous and run race gas.  This is the big huge advantage of a street car with boost or nitrous. That kind of setup you can enjoy a car and have both worlds.

I drive my 65 as much as weather permits which can be enjoyed on the street and track running pump. If I had a 5 speed it'd be even better.  I'd rather have a pumpgas NA car 3-5 tenths slower on pump gas than a so called street car limited to race gas thats faster. Thats just me. If I wanted a drag car I'd build a dedicated drag car. I've been dreaming of running a Wasser case 3L for a street car and of coarse on pumpgas.  

I cant afford race gas LOL.  Reason is I drive my car more than most guys on the forum. I doubt anyone running a NA Race gas fed \"street engine\" would drive aproximately 5000 km + exclusively running C16. I've intentionally went the pumpgas route because I want both worlds but I prefer driving on the street with some track time fun. Here I am talkin' shit....I have a complete progressive \"Dialed in Performance\" Nitrous Kit from Jim Martin. Its still in the parts bin and my all motor pumpgas quest is still on!!

I trailer my car because if I break at Mission Raceway  I can bring her home without waiting for a tow truck. I see no point in abusing and adding wear and tear if I have the means to trailer my car.

Smack talk aside: Josh, if your making that car of yours into a car mainly for street I'd go no more than 10:1 c/r and run 94 octane. If you keep that compression the way it is you'll need to run a mix of race and pumpgas and its not really worth 1-2 tenths IMO. The marginal gains from 10:1 to that 11.xx:1 isn't worth it for a street car with limited track time. If you want bragging rights you should build another motor for track use only or build another turbo setup.

Look at Lanny's 12.40 street car or Dannyboys 12.40 pumpgas car. Thats something to admire coming from pump. If your sticking NA all motor for the street I see no point running high c/r if its a street car. If your going with a dedicated drag car go big c/r!!!!

 
Title: Where's All The Smack?
Post by: jim martin on April 26, 2007, 10:23:09 PM
going fast on pump gas for many is the true definition of a street car .
meaning:if i have to run race fuel in my vehicle in order to run it on the street it is no more than a race car with insurance ,you may not agree with this but in my opinion this is where the pump gas debate really stems from.

i have to make a comment on why we don't have to many fast n/a cars up here .

the real question is how long do they run ???
that is due to the fact many do not have a dedicated race car such as the one josh has bought and i have to ask this,please don't think i'm being a knob but,
using josh's car for example,it was bought as a race car with a hurt motor,how many runs at that high level were done before the last failure and what about previous engine work,has the falure been diagnosed in order to prevent it again.
this may be  a good example of why there are not many fast N/A cars up here.

fast n/a cars due to the fact are running on the ragged edge either at the track or on the street  can be expensive and a lot of work at times,many including myself can attest to that.SPEED COSTS MONEY.
and after awhile we all get sick of the costs and time needed to keep these cars going.many people don't realise this and i have seen many a project and or person sell stuff off because they are done with it.
there are many ways to have a fast car and make it live for a reasonable amount of time at the track and on the street,but that comes with experiance and alot of trial and error.

i see alan has posted and i could not agree more with his comments.

I gotta agree with Al and Jim - 10:1 with 94 chevron and make it street legal and street drivable. With my car I can dump 94 in it to enjoy it on the street with 10psi or less and then crank the nob at the track with C16 and 22psi... best of both worlds really.

Make the car enjoyable to yourself and what you want to do with it - who gives a shit about a couple extra tenths or what others think.

Kroc did heads for Christopher Gilbert in Michigan. Chris runs 12.70's in his full trim 67 with slicks. He can go on cruises  for  along haul an pull decent numbers on 92 octane. His brother Scot runs 11.70's  in a street car naturally aspirated dependant on race fuel only. Chris was telling me that he logs virtually little miles because he really cant and wishes he could drive it more.

Testosterone is always making up our minds. My 65's downfall is the 4th gear. Its really short so on the freeway I can only go speed limit and no more and the engine just buzzes!!! I've driven to mission raceway many times pulling 12.00's and stop into the gas station and drive home. I have a pumpgas street car I can enjoy.  People that know me understands that I dont drive on freeways often and I go everywhere within the city limits. If I had to go on a longer freeway drive this is what my stock 67 is for.

Darren K, Jim Martin have fully streetable cars running 11's, Shane's former hulk ran 10's.  These cars were pump for street and prepped for race with race gas.  All of these have helpers. People running high CR naturally aspirated dependant on race gas is a drag car IMO. If you pull 11.70's or faster with racegas thats awesome but your gonna be limited to street miles. Each to his own.

If your wanting a drag car run 13:1 and much higher and pull mid 11's and faster. If you want a street car NA run pump or go Turbo or nitrous. That will give you both worlds.  

People that just want a weekend only car with little miles logged can live with a drag car on the street with racegas. I'm not one of them.

Race gas will get an NA car easily in the 11's. Josh you can get on the top20 no problem but maybe there should be a classification for race gas cars. Run it on 94 octane and see how you do. Its definitely alot harder. Took me 4 yrs to get my full steel street car to get into the 11's once and alot of 12.00, 12.1 second runs. I went the fastest on 92 octane. But the difference is I drive my car pretty well everywhere with miles logged.

\"I trailer my car because if I break at Mission Raceway  I can bring her home without waiting for a tow truck. I see no point in abusing and adding wear and tear if I have the means to trailer my car.\"

makes sense.


\"Smack talk aside: Josh, if your making that car of yours into a car mainly for street I'd go no more than 10:1 c/r and run 94 octane.

that's exactly my thinking and next year it's gettin' a heavy dose of turbo power, probably sell the carbs/heads and build it on the existing bottom end. call me whatever but I need to have a pump gas \"street car\" not for bragging rights but that's what I want.

And Jim great post too SPEED COSTS MONEY only a dummy would contest that. as for the hurt motor, it swollowed a allen screw off the velocity stack, hence the tear down.

I can live with a couple tenths more if I can pull off a mid to high 12 i'll be more than happy, I was just tryin' to get you guys all rilled up with the whoop-ass coments at first and I think 3 pages later it kinda worked :D  :D

allen, you're smashin the nail on the head. by no means am I striving to be the fastest NA street legal, i'll leave that to the big boys with deeper pockets and more experience than me. I just wanna get my feet wet and have some fun.

I'm not to sure how well these comp elininators with 48/38 valves are gonna dig lower comp and how they're gonna perform on the street. Kroc will be getting a call from me this winter on the turbo heads for sure.

If i did'nt sell the car ( im already wishing i would of kept it ) I would of built a 2165 cc 7.5 comp, fk-8 , vw style heads , and a turbo. The trany would be changed out to a stock style gears or maybe a little taller. This would last for ever and kill anything on the street, drive on the freeway as fast as you dare go and still be super fast at the track. Or i would of left it alone , lots of fun the way it is.

  One of my first engines that car had init was a 2165 cc 44 idf's 125 cam welded up 35x40 heads 8.5 comp. I could drive it to the track and pull high 12's on pump gas. screaming rpm's down the freeway at 55-60mph not fun but lots of fun around town. 4.12 r/p 4.21 4th i think.

  You guys should come down to woodburn for the northwest vw bug run on June 2nd good size show with lots of drag racing.

Hey Jeff, it's cool you're on here keeping up on your old ride. whatcha think my wiring job on her? I'm sure it was a blast the way it was last run :rockon: but it's just not gonna work for me. In my eyes running turbo you get the best of both worlds.

where's woodburn? is your promod ready?

if your lookin for a little more highway, my trans  has a 1.04 4th with a 4.12 ring and pinion, with the tall tires on the back, its really not THAT bad on the highway, i can cruise at  60-65 comfortably, and 70 if i really want to get there....
it doesnt pull all that great in 4th but i think its a great compromise between a full race close ratio and a stock 4th...
Title: Where's All The Smack?
Post by: josh on April 27, 2007, 05:38:30 PM
the box that's in it is a 3.88r+p, 4.25 1st, 2.54 2nd, 1.54 3rd, 1.37 4th. I punched it into a gearing calculator and 60 mph works out to 4000rpm so yeah it looks like back roads for me ]:(

I think we all agree about the street car/race car debate. The big difference locally is the price and availability of C16. I think it's over $20 a gallon and relatively hard to get. $200 to fill up a beetle..ouch. :o

Why do you need details Jim - SCARD?????

My sights are set on you and your frying pan... just be ready and don't make excuses.

I always like to put a little something on table - what's your drink we'll put a bottle of it up for grabs, I'm not much of a drinker so make sure it's something that I can share when I win it.

I've done a few minor things to my car over the winter, let's go for a run and see how they work...

I wanna see Jamie and Dannyboy, Hulk vs Dilley, kroc vs the wok,  Caswell vs Brian......those would be some good races!!!

Would be cool to see a shootout at the end of the season with guys that are close in times and comparable cars.....would be a battle of wits and driving ability.

I just took apart my 84mm full circle DMS 2332 engine for some freshening.

Hmm make it mild with a split duration nitrous cam for my \"dialed in performance\" progressive nitrous kit  :)  or just make it 14:1 drag engine....oops I mean a \"real\" street car that runs on dedicated RACE  gas LOL!!

For the street,  pump is where its at unless your turbo or nitrous.

I dont understand all this pump gas and c16 stuff. Does it really make a difference? How much? Put whatever you want in your car and just bring it!! Im waiting. :P  Thats what its all about. Good times with good friends.

I agree.

I could not do it my self. When it come down to it, I am very competitive and I would have to get the best time. That why I choose to watch and celebrate the winners. Besides, I can not afford it.

higher octane fuels have the potential to create more power if the motor is built to handle them and is tuned properly. alot of forced induction motors wouldnt last very long at the track without race gas, they would ping themselves apart.

how much? just check the actop 10/20 list and look at the numbers that guys running pump gas and the guys running race gas are turning.

I never got to see the Sicamous Single run.  Was quite looking forward to it.
Have no fear.... an 11 second run is near........I'm hoping to do some testing  at the 1/8 mile in Kelowna at the street legals in July.... I will definitly keep you posted as too how my progress goes.


Ohya....James where are you :ph34r: !!!!!! I like Barks root beer.....

Kinda defeats the purpose of seeing how fast you can go in a turbo'd singleport 1500.....
