Has anyone seen overboosst lately? I'm going through my final checks and he isn't on my master list. And he's a leader. (Kinda freaking out) Anyone have a phone number you can PM me?

Okay... so it's 4:15a. Been working on organizing and making arrangements and making final lists... leaders, you all have PMs from me. non-payers, you all have PMs from me. And to show for my work...

I'm going to sleep....

 

Oh... another FYI to the guys racing.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but if you have a TVS, turbo conversion, or nitrous.... you might need a fire jacket.
I'm not too familiar with IHRA rules, but NHRA rules state that if you are using a non-OEM power adder, a fire jacket is required.

Well, turns out, I don't work on the Friday, but I might be out and about doing stuff.
Probably anytime in the afternoon is fine with me.

BTW, I think I'm going to setup a morning schedule tonight sometime.
And I'll PM the map to my house to everyone that is staying as well.

I was pretty messed up... but I'm one of the more 'subtle' ones.

About the helmet... sure can!

 

yea thats what i been told. Orderd it and then everyone said that. Talked to TTR to see if they can cancel the order on the engine mount but it was already being processed so they couldnt, they said on there test car it still helped but iiunno. I'll probably not install the engine mount and sell it brand new. Pretty sure someone will want it. As for the rotated mounts thats abit over my head so i have to find a shop in the area or a dealership to install them for me. And yea, i talked to steve he said he can get me tuned before the meet. I'm hoping this weekend...gotta start ripping into the car anyways this weekend, got a small coolant leak somewheres. iiunno tho, could be a number of things.

 

Naw they arent to strict with that.
I know plenty of turboed n/a cars that dont wear them
and i know a few people spraying who didnt either.

pretty much as long as everyone is slower than 11.5, then all you need is a helmet and a standard tech inspection.

p.s dont expect to race in shorts and flipflops

 

I think you should be fine with installing the rotated mounts on your own. I had a read through on the stage 2 howto on here, and its pretty straight forward. Print off the howto and follow through step by step you should be fine.

If the mount is already processed, just try it out. try the car with and without it. Only you will know what works best for you.


Thanks man!

btw, are you bringing Jen? Char had a really great time last year, and was looking forward to seeing her again.

 

you have pm'd him right. then all you can do is wait and hopfully he gets back to you. i'm pretty much ready and just have to clean and go. i decided that what ever is next will wait until after the meet. including the cracked windshield a f350 decided to give me a couple days ago. all trucks should have mud flaps, that should be law. (cursing)

 

Well I guess if an area leader wants to flake out, and no one else will take the responsibility, they are on their own for getting to the track in time...

 

hahah you're waaaay to organised with your events, with even the drinking time down to the minute, and now this binder of organisation you show us. I wish my life was the organised. Keep up the good work!

 

I agree.

 

Actually it is. straight from the alberta regs:
FYI: if the vehicle does not have adequate fender flares or mudflaps to cover his tires, you can phone the cops, report his licence plate and description, damage to your vehicle, etc. and he is 100% liable for the cost of repair.

 

Isn't that the truth!!! And SUVs too.

 

I'm gonna keep that in mind next time it happens

 

Yeah, I PM'd him. I'm giving him until Friday. I can't believe I let it slip through the cracks. Damn it. He should be on top of it too though.

So if he doesn't get back to me after Friday, I guess the Calgary leader becomes Southern Alberta as a whole and everyone meets at Deerfoot. Makes sense.

Haha, the drinking time isn't down to the minute. I just wanna have everything laid out so it's easy to execute. No need to have people scrambling on the day of the meet. (Although I have a feeling something like that might happen )

 

just reply'd to your pm's Chad so sorry guys! I have been crazy busy, and i am all the way across the country till sunday. Ony just got internet access. We are good to go! Chad, info about my reg is in your PM.

 

Good to know.
I've always heard they are far more understanding than SIR.

Yup. Jen's coming too. And she's super excited to get out there and meet up with everyone again!

 

damn i wish i had that info a week ago. next time i guess. thanks ehh! overboost good to hear from you. i guess we will let you off this time hahahahahaha. reddeerspeed you can put your chainsaw away hahahahaha. across country where are you? neffieland.lol i seriously can not wait for this meet, good times for all!!!!!

 

WOOOOOO!!! After being annoyed with my exhaust popping apart and bogging out over 4k rpm I figured out my wastegate wasn't opening right. Apparantly tial's instructions are wrong for manual controllers Only have it boosting at 8psi right now but its ready for the meet, so happy I can race now haha. Took a few beers to get me thinking right.



ps. YOUR GOING DOWN MATT, HAHAHAHAHAHA




(Yes im quite excited right now)

 

Haha, sweet. Good to hear!! I'm pretty stoked. I'm hoping the weather is good now. *bites nails*

oh am I now.... we shall see i guess...

 

Yea, stupid weather. Last four times i washed my car, it rains the next day. It was a super nice day out today, got to clay bar, wax, and totally clean and detail the whole car (short of the engine bay, there are only so many hours in a day), and guess what? It's supposed to rain for three days now!
I just checked the weather yesterday and there was nothing!! ARG!

 

Yeah, you're gonna get what we're getting right now. It's drizzly on and off. But totally welcomed.

I was going through the Gwynne valley today and there is the odd poplar that is changing color. In July. And maybe three or four of the fields within four miles are producing... the crop insurance guys have been out and written off all the others. It's really scary. Our corn didn't come up, carrots didn't come up.. sweet peas... it's ******* dry.

 

Well the good news is it's raining in edmonton (so the fire ban should be lifted) The Bad news is I work construction so my sites shut down until it stops raining (so I'm not makin any money YAY)

 

Yeah, it's nice a damp here now.
