New England Dragway Day!!!!!

[KB-Marauder-S]

I have talked with the Track manger at New England Dragway and I found out some great info.

Normally there are a few days / nights per week when anyone can show up and make a few runs but, it can get busy and if you wanted to run side by side with someone you know, the odds are slim.

Good news is, if we can pick a Saturday (some time soon) and get atleast 10 plus cars together (any make / year ): the Track manger will set us up with our own lane and make it so we can run side by side !!

We will get a bunch of runs in and first class treatment.
He gave me his direct line and said once we pick a day, give him some notice and we will be all set.

Price will only be around $30. each to be paid in advance.

I think this is a awsume deal and a great price, so lets make it happen while we can and before he gets all booked up!!

:drive:

[Rocknthehawk]

I'm in with the thunderbolt

[Adam12]

im definately in on that and in sure i can round up some of my buddies with stangs and lightnings

[Paul T. Casey]

Anytime after May 25 is good. Bring all your n/a Marauders, and your wallets!:cool:

I know what she'll turn now. I'd rather run it with boost.

[sd8683]

Have you ever ran it?? If so what was your time??

[KB-Marauder-S]

I know what she'll turn now. I'd rather run it with boost.

You should go with or without the Blower.. it will be a good time.

[Adam12]

[hot-rauder]

[sd8683]

Lol, Keep dreamin Alice your not in wonderland yet!!

[courtmarshall]

I would love to be there, but can't make it. I have Military Duty, Annual Training. The only way I could do it is if I could convince my boss that it was a recruiting opportunity for the Army Reserve.

Oh well....let me know if anyone wants to come get my car to use it for the weekend....JK :lol:

[Go Mifuni]

My gears are going in on the 27th of this month but I prolly won't be picking her up until the following weekend. I may need some break-in time too.
My weekends appear to be free starting 6/14.
I pulled a baseline last year so I will be anxious to hit the track again to see the difference.

I'm curious mike, what did you run last year?

[Raudermaster]

Never had it to a track Sean, but I used my d-pic (not sure how accurate that is) and I ran a 14.4. What if we do it sometime in the middle of June? Like the 14th or 21st? That way we can get everyone, courtmarshall, Mike and whatnot, his gears should be broken in by then.

I think we have too many Mikes here lol.
I made 5 runs with a best of 15.6 @ 92, bone stock. It was wicked hot and muggy that night too.
I can't wait to see the difference a CAI, gears and tune make.

So with the Scangauge II the temp after the supercharger intercooler was 113 degrees F. I did not even go WOT but got a full shot of meth and as fast as the Scangauge could sample the data...near instantly the temp was 75 degrees.... muggy and wicked watch out.:mad2:

[quote=Go Mifuni;617550]My gears are going in on the 27th of this month but I prolly won't be picking her up until the following weekend. I may need some break-in time too.

I've had new gears several times over the years.
The quickest and best way to break them in according to the pro's is to:
Take the car for a good 30 mile plus drive, try to stay on a highway and keep it under 65 mph.
Then let it sit over night, take her out again around town, do a few burn outs and a quick run down the highway 80mph again.
The next day your good to go!!
If your going to have any issues you'll hear it by then, they say.

Good luck- Boston Mike

[Raudermaster]

Chris Chris I told you when we're out here in the wild, call me Rooster Cogburn.

[Raudermaster]

See Mike I've heard other ways to break in gears. Most common I've heard is take it for a 10 mile drive, bring it back home and let it sit for about 30 min, then go for a 20 mile drive, let it sit for 45 minutes and you should be good to go after that.

that means my truck should be faster....

[KB-Marauder-S]

As for now we are all set up for Saturday 5/31

Gates open at 8am and we will report to Tech Department and Joe (the track manager) is going to set us up with our own Special Elimator Class.

I will pay the deposit to hold our spot, but who ever goes will pay $30. entry fee when they arrive. So you do not need to pay me in advace.

I hope this works out.. I can only get so many days off from work and this will be one of them. I am told they are getting booked up but, if it turns out to be a rain day; he will do his best to get us into the next opening.

If you are 100% committed to going, then please reply here so we can start to get an accurate count.

I would like to show up with atleast 10 cars.

This will be a great time if everyone goes, make some vids, pics, etc, this is what it is all about!!!!! Lets make it happen.

Some basic rules, each car will be inspected by the dragway.

Everyone must have an overflow for the radiator. (l used a can)

If you run faster than 14 sec you will need a Helmet. (maybe we can share if not every has one)

The rest is just basic inspection.. you can view the rules on the website:
www.newenglanddragway.com (http://www.newenglanddragway.com)


Lets make this happen, start recruiting and lets get a count going..

Well the basic idea is to heat them up and then let them cool down over night. Normally people just take it for a long ride under 65mph then just let it sit till the day and thats it.. go racing.
But, if you are nervious or just want to be extra safe.. they do the 2 day gig.

:confused: A what?

[Rocknthehawk]

wouldn't the overflow just be the resevoir?

i'm confused.

reminds me i need one for my show truck....

[Raudermaster]

Aaron did you finish the motor yet?

[Go Mifuni]

So basically I just have to heat them up, then let them cool, huh?

[Rocknthehawk]

Aaron did you finish the motor yet?

just have to put the new plugs in...and put the distributor back in.

then put it in the truck.

but it's all painted and looking nice on the engine stand.

[Adam12]

Just keep making excuses, you know there will be plenty of OT. What you going to do, bag out every time. Like taking one day off is going to kill you.
You only live once, got the rest of your life to work.
You got a nice ride, take a day and enjoy it.

Paperboy???? If I get that maintainers job I will not get any overtime, there's a reason I was the high bidder, there's no OT!!!!

[KB-Marauder-S]

[Paul T. Casey]

31st is my Dad's 79th birthday. If the party is a different day, I'll be there. Special Eliminator? Will the loosers be able to run all day? Thanks for stepping up and setting this up.

1 thing I don't like about Dez, he locks his tunes.

1 thing I don't like about Dez, he locks his tunes.

Well, I'll be happy just to be done with it all.. I have no intentions of pushing any more power out of it. Its fast enough for what it is.
I picked up some new tires and a few more dress up items.. I think i'm done with it till it blows. lol

Jarod you should come just to see what a real supercharged marauder looks like.

or put your supercharger parts in the trunk, and call it a marauder with a supercharger.

[Raudermaster]

Yea keep it comin' smart ass. I better bring a shovel with me when it's in so I can peel your carcass off of my seat.

I'll slip...

the rest of the parts where overnighted to him today...

[bob6364]

1 thing I don't like about Dez, he locks his tunes.

Locked so people who don't know won't mess up his tune and blow the engine,he gets blamed for enough stuff,its just cheap insurance.

[Raudermaster]

Don't you think that sucks though if you chose to go to another tuner? He may not use the same tune, but he could glance at it and learn a thing or two about THAT certain car. No, so then you have to go out and buy another $300 dollar SCT tuner, since that one's a paper weight now.

[Paul T. Casey]

Dez runs a business. He probably considers his tunes to be proprietary informaation. Did you negotiate leaving it open? Perhaps for a fee he would. Thing is, there's a lot of research work put into tuning. You just don't futz with numbers and have it come out right. The time spent getting a tune right is time not spent on other projects in your business.

[FormulaMarauder]

You guys done bickering yet? I'm actuially interested in taking the MM out to this, but it seems like this is turning into a Kindergarden field trip.

For what???? I thought you only needed a helmet if you ran 14's or better, so why would you need one?!?!?!?!?!

[Rocknthehawk]

For what???? I thought you only needed a helmet if you ran 14's or better, so why would you need one?!?!?!?!?!

I've got one...but it's old...from 1973. Not sure what newer standards there are.

[KB-Marauder-S]

I've got one...but it's old...from 1973. Not sure what newer standards there are.

Track rules say a snell rate of 95 or better, I guess that is a fairly old rate, new ones have a snell rate of like 2000.
Mike

[KB-Marauder-S]

For what???? I thought you only needed a helmet if you ran 14's or better, so why would you need one?!?!?!?!?!

Well I guess you better hope you don't run better than 14 becasue it is going to be hard to find a helmet to fit that big fat bald head of yours..

AHAHAHAHAHAAH. Man, Adam had it right on. How can we post more in this thread now? It should be closed for Adam because that ruled so much.

[Raudermaster]

Man, I'll race both Sean and Aaron, I'll start BEHIND the tree, go around it and still beat both of you.

[Rocknthehawk]

are you going to be blowing all the hot air you're talking into your supercharger?


you're on.

i'll even bet $10 my truck will beat an n/a marauder down the 1/4 mile.

Now we're talking. I usually only make food bets, but I may be able to scrap a few dimes and nickels together.

As for the helmet issue. The guy with the 1973 hat, just leave it home. Helmets are cheap, just go buy one (motorcycle shop, performance store, etc). I'd also double check on the Snell 95 deal. IIRC, you must be wearing Snell 2000 or newer (probably Snell 05 is out by now).

One other BIG thing for any s/c guys. Check the rules to see if you're required to have a Flame-proof jacket. Since any s/c Marauder is after market, I believe you'll need the coat.

I'll make sure to bring my camera, so i can post the embarassing results on the web.

I honestly have no clue what a marauder runs, but my truck is supposed to do the scoot in 14.9 or less.

I'm hoping to run low 14's so it should be a good race, I'm looking forward to it, good luck?

Looks like lotsa last minute mods going in this week. Saturday should be an interesting day to say the least. Just dropped my girl in Hyannis for her gear swap. :D

[Raudermaster]

Last minute, too bad I won't be able to make it up :(. It will probably be done by nightfall, but we're having a family BBQ that day as well.

[sd8683]

Ughh!!!! Showers off and on ALLDAY Saturday!!!!!!!!

[Go Mifuni]

Ughh!!!! Showers off and on ALLDAY Saturday!!!!!!!!

So we'll make our runs on the off. :D

yes

and i will proudly duck my head in shame when her Mach1 destroys me.... gotta teach her how to race with a 5 speed now

[Raudermaster]

Lol, destroy your car? It will probably take Mike's KB with a good driver behind the wheel.

[KB-Marauder-S]

Not looking to good for Saturdays Dragway Day.. so far they are saying rain.
I guess we'll have to see if things change.
I really want to go, I'm all set packed and ready.. but, rain.
Not good, I may even try to go Friday night if they are still sure about rain on Saturday.

FFFuu :censor: kn Rain!!

[Raudermaster]

Those Mach's row through the gears with ease. They should have been a 6spd, they could have used the extra gear.

[Go Mifuni]

I took one for a test drive a few years back; shaker type. I got 3 gears of solid rubber out of it. Very nice. It's amazing what our motors are capable of without that extra 1500lbs.

[Egon Spengler]

Count me out for this one I think... weather looks bad and I have alot of stuff to catch up on this weekend... we will see... I dont think my stocker is worth taking down the strip... get laughed right out of the pits

MIKE... we need to meet up some time... I can't believe how close we live to eachother!

I just checked the weather for Epping and it says thunder showers. The forcast could certainly change by then, this being New England and all. Put me in the "tentative" column. If it looks like it will be clear in the morning, count me in. I'm dying to make some runs with my new gears. :burnout:

TJ, I took my "stocker" down the track a few years back. All the rice handed me my ass. I had fun anyway. I was establishing a base-line. Now I can measure my gains. Maybe I'll let you take it for a spin so you can see if a gear swap is something you'd like to do in the future.

[sd8683]

I'm gonna have to skip it this time, I'm just gonna go to work, I don't wanna risk going all the way down there and have it poor allday.

Yup, pretty amazing since R&T put it up back in '04 against the brand new '04 GTO 6spd. The puny 4.6l vs. the God like 5.7l. The GTO trapped faster mph, but the Mach destroyed it time wise all 5 times. Adam said he found some guy online bone stock turned a 13 flat out of it. FYI, all the '03/04 Mach's have Shaker's ;). However, they do make a shaker kit for the GT. Not to mention they have a better crank than we do.

Mike he's talkin about the other mike (gomifuni) that lives out west

[KB-Marauder-S]

I've checked 4 different stations and each say there is a 100% chance of rain / thunder showers at Epping this Saturday. :mad2:


That being said, This Saturdays Dragway Day is canceled.
Of course any1 who wishes to still go can but, I will not go in the rain.

Question is when do you guys want to go, next available date is Saturday 6/7. After that will be another month wait, so I do not want to wait another month. I would like to post a new thread for 6/7. ???

Another ???? is, would people prefer going on a Friday night 6/6 gates open at 5pm. I could talk to Joe at the Track and see if he can hook us up on 6/6.

I am just asuming it would be easier for everyone to do this on a Saturday and we'd have more day light.

What do you guys think?? Thanks- Mike

[KB-Marauder-S]

Mike he's talkin about the other mike (gomifuni) that lives out west

I didn't think he was close lol. I seen that otehr Black 03 at Citgo after you left today.

[sd8683]

I seen him too, but he didn't see me

[Adam12]

wtf... can we get it for the 21st? thats the next time ill be able to go. god i hate rain

[KB-Marauder-S]

wtf... can we get it for the 21st? thats the next time ill be able to go. god i hate rain

As far as I can see from the schedule Joe sent me, the next available date that he can set us up with our our lane is 6/7, then nothing again till 7/13.
I don't want to wait till 7/13. All I can do is call him tomorrow and see if he can do the same set up for us on one of the street nights like a Friday night.

Either way i will let you know. if 6/7 is no good for anyone else then i will just go by myself because I'd like to run my car and see what it does. I'll still go to another Drag day if you guys still want to pick a day.

Mike

[Raudermaster]

I can probably go Mike :up:. Blower will be on too!

[KB-Marauder-S]

I can probably go Mike :up:. Blower will be on too!

When 6/7 ?? or can you do Friday 6/6 ??

[Raudermaster]

Saturday.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[FormulaMarauder]

[KB-Marauder-S]

Ok, lets try for Saturday 6/7, I'll post a new trhead tonight.
Then for those who can't go, we can maybe do another meet next end of june.

[Paul T. Casey]

Wed. nights are pretty decent up there also, not so much waiting as fewer people show up. I'll be away for the 06-06/07 event, but I'll make the next one. Can't wait to spank a bunch of MassMarauders! :rolleyes:

I'm good for 6/7. Early morning is best; nice cool air. :D

[Egon Spengler]

I'll try to clear my calendar for 6/7... Mike(GoMifuni), we should try to meet up before then just to put names to faces... (better than myspace has done for us)

Sounds good Tom.
My Saturday is pretty much booked up, but all I have Sunday (I think) is my son's graduation.
What's your schedule look like?
Any chance on you getting out to Fitchburg some Thursday eve? You could possible meet some other Marauderers there as well.

[KB-Marauder-S]

I'm good for 6/7. Early morning is best; nice cool air. :D

Once I get the final ok from the track.. I'll post a new 6/7 drag day.
I was so hoping to go tomorrow, this weather really s*cks.
Hope more guys will still go 6/7

Mike

[KB-Marauder-S]

Figures the weather here is good, I called Epping and they said it is over cast. Well guess I'll go clean up the car, needs a oil change.

Bad news from track.. Joe said next date for a Saturday he has open for us will not be till SEPTEMBER !!!
