Hey

I have been on this board for a while, used to live in Bemidji, but recently moved to Grand Forks. I recently installed a Bullseye V-Trim from SLS onto my spyder, and purchased DSM Link to tune it with. I have read all forums, and instruction manuals but think i would be served best if I could meet up with someone who could show me the finer points of tuning and possibly help me with tuning my car. This weekend I am going to be doing boost leak testing to take that issue out of the equation.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Beer will provided if necessary :icon_santa:

My best was before anyone got there 14.4 @ 100.
This was followed up by a few in the mid 15s, gotta learn how to launch FWD properly.. Next year I guess.

You will need a helmet and the top up. Faster than 13.99 and the driver does need a harness. The track is a NHRA track and if anything were to happen to someone that was allowed to go down the track illegal to nhra rules, then the track would lose its NHRA status. so it is enforced quite a bit.
If you havent run before you will also need long pants and at minimum a tshirt, preferably a long sleeve shirt, or we will turn you around and send you out until you change.

Hope this helps you out alittle bit.

Thanks for the clarification!
I should be all set now.

used to be 13.99, this year the regulations changed to 13.49 (hardtops changed from 11.99 to 11.49).

You'll almost deffinetly want a helmet for starters (not sure they'll let verts run w/o helmet period) and I think it'll all depend on who's working if you get the boot for running too fast. IIRC there was a cobra out there running sub 11.49 and he got talked to a couple times but I don't think he was ever booted.

I had planned on bringing a helmet already. Looking at the rules I dont see anything in particular other then the Roll bar at 13.49 and the 5pt harness at 13.99 and under. I have neither of course. :icon_blackeye:

Just a few questions on Rules at the track..

First off I am going to be running a convertible, am I going to catch any flak for that? I realize that i have to run with the top up. Is there anything special that I need being a convertible.

Also in reading the NHRA rule book, convertibles that have an ET lower then 13.99 must have a driver restraint system. Is this rule enforced at the track? I am hoping to run lower then that. Will I get kicked out if I run faster then this without a 5 pt harness?

Thanks in advance.

I will be there.. 99% sure I will be racing for the first time.

I will trade you straight up for my 89 Caprice Classic, runs and drives perfect.. only 95k miles. Is currently my daily driver. I always wanted a cop car. :icon_rr:

There is a redneck shop somewhere in Bagley that has/had a 2G eclipse shop car. I was talking to one of the mechanics there last summer and he told me then they were working on a 500 hp eclipse.. It was funny though, when I asked him how they tuned it, he didnt seem to know what I was talking about. Didnt even know about DSM link..

Its an auto.

Probably wouldnt have time to deliver to minot, but would definitely meet you half way, where ever that happens to be.
Pics Below

shut up will....god damn fargostreet nazi...lol

anyway does anyone have any real answers?

Do a boost leak test..You will probably find the source of your fuel cut. And get the Boost Gauge hooked up, that will also help you to see if your turbo is boosting properly/ also if your wastegate is working.

I was there and witnessed that run.. That thing was fricken fast!! Probably even faster later this fall when the temps drop.

Did he show you all his powah by spinning out on the icy asphalt ? :rolleyes:

There is an extremely high ricer/regular population ratio around Bemidji. I have seen that probe and that escort around town often. There are a few that are even better then those also. I will have to get some pics this spring when they all come out of hiding again.

Did you have anything done to your AWD?
I spend the summer up in Walker, and we frequent Bemidji quite a bit; you may have even seen me there... I raced some turbo hatchback, teal green I think with some ghetto ass junk yard setup...

When I bought it, it had an HKS SSQ BOV, K&N FIPK, and ported Mani. I added a 3" RNR O2 Eliminator Turboback, and a MBC @ 16 lbs. Was a super fun car, until some jackasses thought it would be a good idea to steal my CD player, and cut the main wiring harness behind the stereo. I had just done all the normal DSM maintenace like the week before too. Seemed pretty fast to me, though it wasnt quite as fast as my old Regal GS. I probably have seen you around somewhere in the summer as I live near downtown and go to Walker once in a while.
I have never seen that turbo hatch before. The only decently fast cars around here that I know of are a guy with a WRX, an Eclipse GST, a few preludes and my old Regal, Not that they are fast in most circles. And as you have seen, tons of riced out civics, escorts, and neons.
