IDRC Finals September 4th Fontana Drag Strip
 

Who's going from the west coast?

I know a lot of the fucking honda's from SD and LA are going to be showing out for this event as well as the sac town drag race event...

I know ultimatejay told me he was going as well...not to sure of anybody else...:scratch:

You know I'll be there. And you can count on Chris being there too.
I think Rene is trying to make it.
What about Eric Darby and Steve?

What about teddy...last time i heard he was racing in palmdale with hondas with his Rx7:scratch:

He said he'd be there, but how many times have we heard that?

It is what it is...you going to be there rene or what...

8 Days left

Someone's finally getting the itch. :icon_tup:

Teddy making it?

Is that all the people that is going to race in IDRC? Seems like there are more people that has rotary out here in CALI, but yet they just don't go out.... What is the total count of cars and people with rotary going? I hope all the ones that is going post up.. Good luck on all that is going...

Yep, you called it. Alot of rotaries and alot of no shows. How about you? Are you going to race and if so what are you bringing? C'mon guys, you don't have to have a 9 second rotary to race. Just go out there and enter the fun runs and have a good time with your fellow rotary brethren. :icon_tup:

I think Krazzy rpm will be bringing his car the white 7.. I hope the Fontana gremlins won't be cursing him and get a full pass.. James, are you confirmed on running this Sept. 4?? Let me know...

Hey Jay, Nice seeing you at irwindale with chris.. Ya, I hope I have the car prepaired for this event.. But, I came short in preparation and didn't have the extra end to dyno the car... You don't know how much i want to race this weekend.. I also, need a couple of final touches in the car...

Ok, I know who you are now. It's hard remembering multiple names and usernames and faces. :lol: Well, I hope you can make it. We need more old schools representing. Like I said at Irwindale, the track makes for a great dyno. Anyone hear from Steve with the green rx3 and Eric Darby? Eric, I know your watching out there. hehe I hope you can make it brother.

where are all the rotor heads ????MIA......jajajaja ...the rx3 is getting close to being finish

No Butterflies
 

So whats up mang , are you ready to roll :egrin: i figure if you can get a 12.9xx you should be good :nod: we shall see :egrin::egrin::egrin:

Could not get Wednesday -Friday off so. My hot rod ain't going to make it

car needs $ that i dont got

Damn, that sucks cris, sorry to hear. I know if there was a way you of all people would have gotten it done. Are you going to come out and watch?

I hear you. Is it your tranny that needs fixing? I remember last time at Fontana you had 5th gear tranny problems. This sucks, that's two guys down. :(

I am gonna race either way gonna take the 3 Rotor Drifter out there.....they are gonna have a Drift drag race class:)

Heck Rene, you may just win the turbo class with your drift car. Last event, the turbo cars were running pretty slow and inconsistant. Slap some slicks on and ease her out of the hole- yes, I'm talking about your car not your girlfriend. :lol:

See you guys tomorrow. Damn, weather is going to be hot! Mid 90's :(

Any drag racing updates?

It was hot as hell at the track.......jay did some good runs he did some low 12 sec pass but lost on the final runs,he got 2nd trying to beat a 9 sec DVS Honda.I didnt see Teddy run but i heard he broke an axle......hey teddy i didnt know you where there until jay said it was you leaving the track,the whole day i thought it was your brother.Jay said you lost 150lbs fuggg man incredible.

As for me i had a blast.....did some crazy high speed burnout runs ,couldnt get the car to hookup even with low tire pressure and spraying some home made VHT.I was trying to Feather the throttle but everythime the Semi-P ports kick in it was hell,I did run a 13.1 at 119mph going a bit sideways.The drift class was the highest payed in the whole event could of won 1k for first 500 second,but lost on the semi runs trying to catch the Mazdatrix Rx7 ended up 3rd place.I wish i would of put slicks on but since this class was new i didnt think they will let us run slicks but they did.

hey jay hope you have some good footage of the runs of yours and mine.I didnt take any cameras myself so i wish i could of caught the whole thing to edit =(

Yeah, like Rene said it was hotter than dog shit at the track. Ambient temps were 105+ and track temps were 135! It was another low attendance show for a finals but I think that was due to the hot ass weather and labor day weekend. I only had 3 cars in my class and one broke, so I got lucky and got second place. Got a little plaque and some cash. :icon_tup: I didnt' have time to modify my carb. so I'm still running out of fuel after the 8th mile and nosed over really hard. My mph was only a 105mph.:( That and super hot weather it was lucky I didn't crack a fragile carbon apex seal. The Honda I raced had a full tube chassis with a carbon fiber floor pan. I don't think he was legal in my class but I didn't have my ducks in a row to protest and quite frankly I was just happy going home with some money. I was talking with the driver and his best et is 9.17 @ 150+mph! What the heck is going on? How the heck can we compete against Honda's that are running this fast and are allowed to weigh less and are making more power than the two rotors? Guess I have to start a bitching session with the event owner. Probably a loss cause, but we have to step up or there is going to be less and less rotary guys that want to race.

Teddy, poor guy, snapped an axle on his first run and was done for the rest of the day. He is now putting a 9" in. It was good seeing you Teddy and thanks for coming out. Next time when you have your 9", you'll be set bro. And yeah, congrats on the weight loss bro, I didn't recognize you either. :icon_tup:

Rene had the drifting drag race in his hands but didn't know you could use slicks. He would have easily taken the 1k purse if he had known. He was litterally sideways the entire 1/4 mile track and had zero traction. Hopefully there's a next time as this was a special event. Oh, and Rene, unfortunately my dad's camera had a tape malfunction, so the video came out with stripes through it and is junk. Sorry.

Chris, nice seeing you again and sorry you couldn't get your car ready in time. I know you really wanted to race. You'll be ready for November. See you.

Sounds like the old days, Light pro fwd cars againts full bodied mazdas, Complaining will not help or change anything, I been there, done that at the peak of so-cal drag racing. Maybe try going to seven stock and talk to the hundreds of turbo, ported engines mazdas to show up and race next time.
