They open up the raceway here in Spokane on friday night at 8pm to let people grudge race. It's $5 to get in and no more to race and they just let you use the track all night to keep kids from organizing illegal street racing. I went for the first time last night and it was actually pretty fun. There were stock cars and trucks, the typical 15sec Hondas, some moderately tuned stuff, and quite a few 9 and 10 second cars. An A/C Cobra was running mid 9s, trapping over 150, and stomping the bikes that stepped up. Crazy. I was surprised it wasn't just all highschool kids in sloooow cars.
I raced 3 times later in the night. I turned down the boost to 19psi and logged 10.5:1 AFR and 18.x* peak timing and was trapping 106. I'm going to try a test and tune on a Saturday and get this thing back to where it should be. I just got into line and raced whoever was in front or behind me without a race lined up so I ended up with 3 poorly matched races. 1st was a super tricked out Integra that grabbed about 3 cars off the line when I spun the tires but I ened up a full second ahead of him at the end. 2nd was a Buick something. He wanted a head start so I let him go and reeled him in by the end. 3rd was a T-28 GS-T running 17psi. I dropped the 2 stage too low and launched at 3500rpm which gave me a nice bog, then crazy wheel spin. He hooked up perfectly for the first time all night and I was only about a quarter of a car ahead at the end but what seemed like 20mph faster.
Very fun! At only $5 it keeps kids from gathering around town and killing themselves on the street. Probably the funniest thing was some wankster with a 95 civic coup w/ a B20 swap who came up and said I was trying to race him on the main road here last week. He had a bit of an attitude said he heard my blow off valve therefore I was trying to race him... :roll: He asked if I would race on the next run and I agreed. I was already in line and he watched me beat the Integra badly and when I came back and found him parked off to the side, he refused to race. Silly kids. THere's my fun for the night!
