thats gonna be a pretty crazy job when its done :D

[Drakar]

What's it being built for (Drag, AutoX, Solo, Hill climb, all of the above) ;D

[ReEntry Racer]

None of the above! GT Class Road Racing. no HP limits, no restrictions on anything actually. I plan on 430 HP from my ZZ4 GMPP crate engine (once I finish with it). I have 95% of the pieces to finish and support it now, including 2 engines, 2 trannies, 2 rear ends, etc. Target is August 13th practice day at Rivers Edge Racetrack. I still need a 10 lb fire system and a few small bits, and more spare time...

This is my previous car...

good good, keep up the good work :)

[ReEntry Racer]

Well I actually got it finished and on the track this weekend...Didn't embarass myself while racing either... ;D

[attachment deleted by nin97...if there\'s a problem there\'s a hooker somewhere that might want to listen to you]

[79 Z28]

cool, what it run, and whats a good lap time for the mission track?

[ReEntry Racer]

Considering I had to use a 94 truck 350 engine (my spare)instead of my 430 HP ZZ4, I was happy to place 13th out of 29 in my group. My best laps were 1:23's while the 6 cars or so ahead of me were doing laps in 1:21's. I was happy to have the car just stay together and not loose a major chunk while I was doing 100 mph...Next time with my locked 3.73's and a real engine I will have no problems getting 1:21's or better.

[ReEntry Racer]

Here's a shot of the business end, with more improvements coming soon...(hard to keep the water out when washing it without side windows)

lol how would I get into it competitively? Building the car would be a great start, but honestly, how do I get involved?

[ReEntry Racer]

Go to www.sccbc.net (http://www.sccbc.net) and look at the Driver Training section. I believe the next school session will be in mid-March. It's about $400.00, has a tech for your car and gear, a classroom session and then two days of track sessions at Mission. You can use any car that has good brakes, no leaks, a manual tranny, everything tight, with good belts and seat. You'll need an approved Snell 2000(A) car racing helmet (not a M/C type), leather gloves and shoes...that's about it. It's oversubscribed within a few days of posting the application info so don't waste any time signing up. If you successfully pass the written test, you go onto the track with an 'old hand' and he/she keeps you out of trouble for a while. By the last session on the Sunday, you do your first race. If you don't screw up, you'll get the cert that lets you enter road races as a novice. A least three novice races, and if you don't screw up, you get a regional licence to enter races with the big boys! You will need a properly prepped race car for all the races though. Maybe we should talk?

Not unless you change to a manula tranny in those cars. No automatics allowed except for certified handicapped drivers ;)

[ReEntry Racer]

Why not come to the next (last) race of the season at MRP on the Oct. 16/17 weekend? We can talk about this and you two can see what's going on in the RR world! And by the way, my TA has a welded rear diff. which really does work very well even in the wet ;D

[Drakar]

You've both got mail :)


Hey can you hook me up with the info, Im interested in that stuff too, course I don't have the luxury of building a car (YET), but soon, and it looks like good times. Better then golf!

[ReEntry Racer]

Just check out the post above, all the info is on the link to the Sports Car Club of BC website. I'll make time to talk to anyone who shows up at MRP on the weekend of Oct. 16/17 (as long as my car isn't giving me problems!). Look for me in pit #101 (rear row far end from the entrance). Hope to see more F bod people out there! Cheer for me when I pass the Fords... 8)

Great new Mustang dyno in Haney. Haney Automotive Performance just behind the Red Robin. All the bells and whistles, great for perf. tuning. Charged me $75.00 for the session.


[attachment deleted by admin]

[79 Z28]

so whats the details? ;D

[ReEntry Racer]

Due to a complete failure of my 'real' race engine thanks to a company/person that can't be trusted to tell the truth, I have had to resort to my back-up plan for the race this weekend: a 94 GMC 4X4 block with 300,000km on it! I was worried it would expire if my timing and carb wasn't set up correctly. I pulled 302 lb.ft. @ 4400 RPM, and when I shut it down at 5400 RPM it was just starting to really pull at 300RWHP. I guessed right on the carb jetting: 13.5 - 13.7 AFR throughout the power range. I wasn't really interested in getting max power, given the old heavy pistons/rods and iron crank. I'll use it up at the track near the end of my last race on Sunday...I may have to pay the $50 oil spill fine though...

[79 Z28]

damn liars, id make him pay it :(

[ReEntry Racer]

Got 2nd in the GT1 class. Worst weather I've ever raced in.
I'll post a pic when there's more space I guess.
