it's not really about laying down a killer time...it's more about having a load of fun and getting some people out and on the track!!!

just show up at mission on friday the 14th and find me (tall skinny guy driving the black 64 steel sunroof beetle) and let me know that you're ready to have fun!! make sure you read the rules and regulations pages on the smc website so you know what you need to pass tech and all that. it's really easy when you tell the tech guys that you're planning on running a 20 second pass!

20 seconds won it last year lol

actually...a 21 second pass won it last year!!!

and with the added variables of reaction time and mph (kmh) taken in to account...everyone has a fair chance!!

new sponsor!!!

www.adventureswhistler.com

dave hord and the fine folks at Outdoor Adventures have sweetened the pot and made a very generous donation to the SMC!!!!

-one lucky winner/participant of the SMC will receive a tour for two at Outdoor Adventures. the winner can choose from one of their ATV, Hummer, Horseback, or Summer Dogsled tours.

thank you Outdoor Adventures!!!

that should make even the guys with 2L motors want to swap 'em out for a stocker and compete!!!

let's get the word out and get some stockers out on the track for some fun folks!!!!

http://www.freewebs.com/stockmotorchallenge/
Rule # 3 states 3 - No dual carburetors (unless your motor came with them as stock equipment from the factory, and they must be stock duals that are the correct size)

silas · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2009, 10:57:45 PM »

thanks for explaining that gary!

i have considered having a SMC class for dual carbs (stock displacement + dual carbs....it seems like a popular mod)....but it's too late to plan for this year. maybe next year?

sorry gerry....but dont let that stop you from running your sc on the track anyways!!! you'll have a blast garunteed!!!

Heres a q.

I suppose a husband & wife cant share the driving?

We are going to fight over who is racing the fasty, guaranteed.......

el_flechador · « **Reply #25 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:34:10 AM »

What one to drive and one to read the map.....eeerr go straight honey, er no i mean straight........

I'll try and get the time off work and then i could race you in my also all standard 69 auto Squareback, although i might need a calendar to register my 1/4 mile time.

Where do i get one of the metal fuel filters from , Silas? Anyone know

good question. i'm not sure what mission raceways rules are about sharing drivers duties. i would say your best bet is to both go to tech with the car, tell them the car will run 19's or 20's, show them that you both are licensed responsible adults and that you have the proper gear (long sleeves, pants, shoes, etc), and that you both want a turn driving the car. i would thonk they'd let you do that!

as far as the SMC rules go....you can have as many drivers for the car as you like (as long as they're licensed)!! it would be kind of cool to see who can pull the best time in that car!

it would be great to have you run your car flech!!

word on the street is that there just may be a few other squarebacks running in the SMC!!!! looks like the type III's are coming out in full force this year!!!

as far as fuel filters go....try AVR http://www.avrparts.com/. allthough....i know folks have run plastic ones without trouble...a nice metal one is far better...plus i'd hate to see you turned away for something like that. remember your hose clamps!!!

fasty69 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 09, 2009, 11:22:12 AM »

Great thanks, we used to share driving with our jetta a few years back, just wanted to make sure its acceptable with your SMC .

Cant wait, see ya Friday
