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.

Ha, that's another lost cause, those are all mainly trailer queens. :lol:

here are some more pic of the race....

fun in the sun........looks like all the rotor heads are in hibernation

Hey you beat me too it on the wheelie pic. I just got the email from Carlos. I'm going to make some prints of that one. If you guys want an autographed pic, let me know. :lol::lol::lol:

i saw some other pictures but cannot get them...i will try to link it up they look good.

Yeah it was nice seeing and running into you all...Turns out i destroyed the tranny...I'm currently looking for turbo II tranny but won't buy one till i get the rear end in there first...Manny already warned me that if i got the car running with no rear end he was personally going to kick my ass lol...

As far as the weight goes yeah I lost a lot of weight...I went from 320lbs in total mass weight benching pressing 450lbs leg pressing 1300lbs...all the weigh down to 190lbs, barely able to bench press 135lbs...But I'm happier and I look a lot better...I just don't talk about it or bring it up everywhere i go...

As for the racing that day, somebody summed it all up, it was hot as fucking donkey balls out there...between manny, my bro who couldn't put his fucking beer down to help us for nothing in the world, and myself we put a lot of work into the car all month...But it was fun, and im glad the tranny broke...pushed me to get my rear done!!!

To be honest i was more thrilled and stoked about getting my very first IDRC stickers placed on my car!!!! believe it or not...thats just me

Nice pics Teddy and that chic was smokin. Hey now I'm pissed off for helping you push your car at Sevenstock that one year when you could have just put it on your shoulder and carried it in.:lol: 450 bench and 1300 leg press! Damn, that's some good weight for a fat ass. :lol: It's wierd that you lost all your strength though when you lost the wieght. I know when you lose fat, you lose a little muscle but I didn't think that much. You look good either way, congrats. Now get that car ready for BOTI on November 21. Oh, and I will be selling my TII transmission soon and it is already shortened so that it will fit your first gen like a glove. Hit me up.

so jay whats up this eric darby i had to miss the race bad motor next race will try to be there your car looks very good

damn darby is in the forum........what!

Hes always been on the forum reading, He finally decided to chime in....

Thanks Eric and glad to have you in the forums now. :icon_tup:Looking forward to November 21. Hope to see you there. Keep us posted.

hey you are famous Jay.....

http://urbanracer.com/articles/anmviewer.asp?a=4510&z=1

Haha famous, not quite......yet. Look out next year though as I'm coming in full force and will be carrying a rulebook in hand for those Honda cheaters.

well hopefully there is an All Motor Class next year heard most of the drivers are going turbo you should too and run Quick class.

Maybe after I get the all motor record. :)

What is the all motor record anyways?

I did not know there is another event in Nov. I should be ready by then

Well, there's many all motor records out there, but the one I am after is the stock chassis record and is currently held by the all motor king Jesus Padilla with a 9.8.

Yep, November 21. Battle of the Import finals at Fontana.

Guys, we all have to start attending these races. If low attendances to these races keep hapening they will eventually close down for good. I always hear guys whinning about how there's no drag racing down here in California. Well, part of the reason is because no one is attending. No attendance, no money coming in= events closing down. If you're in it for the money, then your in the wrong game. There's no way your going to get rich drag racing at events were first place is 500 bucks and you have 20-30k+ invested in your cars. Come and race because you love to race and hang with friends and family. That's what it's really all about.

Well put Jay, I seen dozens of well built rotaries at seven stock with big engines and turbos, They love racing and speed but wont support the races :icon_tdow

trying very hard to make the race have to rebuild motor and fix trans
