fill me in on super shifter.

Post by: James Buchan on October 08, 2004, 04:03:29 PM: Not sure about NOS fill - I think Taylorwood Auto in Langley fills though.

Super Shifter is bracket racing - 2 time trials in the AM then into eliminations. I ran in the Sept double header for a day it was a lot of fun as there alot of other classes running and you get to see some really nice cars.

Payout on the day I ran was 800 bucks to the winner of an 18 car field.

Gates are 7:30-8ish (can't remember) and you get in and tech from there. We started running around 10am when the fog cleared and the track was dry.

There are other Vw's that run in that class so you wouldn't be alone.

You will need a helmet, and I think after anything faster than a 11.0 you need a Jacket, and roll bar,

Good luck man... let er rip!!!

Post by: Island bugs on October 09, 2004, 07:08:08 PM: He's right 11.99 or quicker roll bar & jacket for sure, maybe race belts too and they do check the dates on belts & helmets.The other item some bugs have problems over is the 12\"max of rubber fuel line. If you have more wrap it with some of that silver wire wrap. They usually let guys run the first time and warn you to replace it before coming out again.You can make one pass before they give you shit for running too fast though. Tell them you think ot will run 12's or 13's then you can say \"Wow where did that come from?I'm sorrry??\"wink wink! If you do it again after they warn you then you will get kicked ! The window markers they sell at the track do not mark Lexan. Good luck! wayne

Post by: Island bugs on October 10, 2004, 09:22:45 PM: Hi guys The word from Terry is that someone called the track about Test & Tune and was told they could run with the Super Shifters but no one showed up so unless you were to count Terry's 10.67@123.5 the top ten list likely stands as posted before.

Damn Jim, dissapointing!
well not completely dissapointing,i was up at 5.00 am got the car and trailer and equipment ready ,at 7.30 was watching the weather and live photos of the track.at 8.00 am got intouch with the track and was told they would be lucky to run by 1.00 ,well had some coffee and watched the live web cams and since there was no track prep going on at 11.00 i decided since the weather is nice in vancouver i will have my own fun .!!!
as much as i wanted to race ,just like last year i was a little late.
but ! as much as i'm dissapointed in not running at mission this year ,i could not be happier with the results i did accomplish.
top 10 it was your lucky day! congradulations everyone .
