Title: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on March 30, 2010, 12:25:52 PM: I have booked a spot for T&T at Mission for April 9. Anybody else ready yet? I will say though, if the weather looks not favorable, I won't be showing up. Will be going for that 11 second slip. Will be playing with 14 to 20 psi boost this time.

Post by: red snapper on April 04, 2010, 09:28:01 PM: Not the ghia! Dont expect anything too impresive. I havnt even taking it around the block yet. ;D
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 06, 2010, 09:33:42 PM: I'm pretty sure I won't be coming down. Our truck just lost its tranny, and unless its something electrical and easily diagnosed tomorow, it won't be fixed by Thursday at 4:00 which is the latest I should leave by so I could be there for Friday. To say I am disapointed is an understatement. This just sucks. I hope it is an electrical solenoid or something less than $1000. My friend had his same tranny rebuilt for $5400.00...OUCH! I don't need that right now.

Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 06, 2010, 10:24:47 PM: Dont worry about it James, er Kev. The weather isnt looking so good for friday anyway. I havnt heard back from the track for confirmation yet. So, I dont know if I even have a spot. Maybe I do now.......
Sorry to hear about your truck. Hope its something small.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 07, 2010, 08:43:06 AM: Well, it looks like the test and tune is completely full. Im not sure if Im gonna make it either.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 07, 2010, 08:51:45 AM: What James, I mean Brian, right back at ya ;D haha good one.
Don't count me out just yet, scan in my driveway says solenoid pack, so taking it in at 11:00 to double check, could have the truck ready still if that is all it is. Heres to hoping. Enviroment canada weather says showers for friday, well if its not the truck that keeps me back, the weather might.

Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 07, 2010, 04:03:16 PM: Definitly not coming down, Tranny is coming out and might not get the truck back till Monday - Teusday. Sorry guys to all that were planning on coming out.

Kevin
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: CHEECH on April 09, 2010, 08:50:13 AM: Brian are you going to make it out to the street legal drags? A few of us are heading out to spectate and would love to see some VW`s or VW powered fiats out.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 09, 2010, 10:29:36 AM: Hey Cheech, definately not going to the T&T. Never got a confimation and was told that they were fully booked. I want to do a T&T before I take it to the street legals. I need some seat time and want to make sure it goes straight.
I will make sure I make it to the next one. Its all ready to go.
Brian.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 09, 2010, 10:51:01 AM: I will also try for the next one too. Brian your smart for not wanting to do street legals until a T&T is done first. Saftey first ;D

Wow, the trip down would have been pushing snow the whole way yesterday, and today the coq looked horible this morning. I can't imagine driving with an open trailer towing my car with the amount of snow that was falling. We woke up to 1" on the ground and it snowing lots. Crazy weather forsure. I can't tell from the web cam if there is T&T right now, so maybe it was delayed some cause of the wet track. I guess the sign for manditory winter tires till April 30 is for a reason up here. We havn't seen snow this late since moving up here.

Post by: CHEECH on April 10, 2010, 08:14:41 AM: Great time last night out at the friday night street legals. Man those mazdas are gettin fast, I think one ran a 10.16. The burnout competition was great but I really think Geoff could have walked away with the trophy last night.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 10, 2010, 06:51:14 PM: Monday we can book for April 23 T&T. I will be e-mailing Sunday night so they get it Monday morning.

Kevin
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 10, 2010, 07:43:47 PM: I will put my name down tommorow night as well, just to make sure. Hopefully you get your truck fixed in time Kevin. Look forward to seeing you down here and hopefully bring Moose if you can.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Billyisgr8 on April 12, 2010, 01:13:37 PM: I am booked for April 23 Brian. hopefully you can also get a spot. I look forward to seeing you go down the track. Waiting to hear back if Marty can join me this time too.

Post by: Jord63 on April 22, 2010, 12:49:43 PM: Have you seen the show Passtimes on speed channel? Bret Wagner (the host of the show) is up here this weekend. He is touring some Lordcos doing autograph signings and he is to make some apperences at the car show in the tradex this weekend. This has me wondering if they are going to be filming an epissode at the mission T&T this weekend. That would be cool to see some local guys on the show.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 22, 2010, 01:45:48 PM: Better Bret Wagner than that wanker Rich Christensen from "Pinks". I would like to give that guy a kick in the junk!

Post by: CHEECH on April 23, 2010, 05:11:06 PM: Great afternoon out at the track. Brians Fiat was a hit I think his best time was a 14.8 pretty good considering it was his second pass in it. An unfortunate oil leak forced it back onto the trailer. Kevin did awsoome PDT_Armataz_01_37 PDT_Armataz_01_37 He got his 11 second pass!!!!!!!! 11.9 at 112.9mph well done dood :D :D It sure was a pleasure watching you guy`s rip it up!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: OUTKAST on April 23, 2010, 09:09:55 PM: PDT_Armataz_01_37 Way to go guys nice to see It on the track Brian And no more Bench racing Kevin you nailed the 11 second slip Right on guys Pics ?
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: red snapper on April 24, 2010, 02:34:29 PM: Congrats Kevin, must be a good feeling hitting the 11's.
Cheech, thanks for all your support!
I have a few bugs to work out but It was fun to finally get the Fiat out to the track.
Title: Re: Mission T&T
Post by: Jord63 on April 24, 2010, 02:40:33 PM: Nice work guys. Did you see if they filmed an episode of Pastimes? Would have been cool to see the Fiat on the show. I bet it would have had the contestants scratching their heads.
