Crash712us Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yeah same forecast here too, hopefully if its going to rain will occur in the morning or after the event. But I don't put a lot of stock in these weathermen. We will be doing dinner and drinks some where Thursday night, who is in? Taking suggests on the where as well.

bpd1151 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Looks like rain chances increased to 70%, but they did at least say most of it was supposed to occur overnight (tonight), and may possibly linger into tomorrow morning. Hopefully it'll clear out in time to run the track though. We'll see :noidea: Other development on my car though is that it appears my car was running excessively rich, most likely due to faulty front O2 sensors (which I was obligated to purchase 2 new one's). Car did NOT get done today as I was hoping for, but as I teased Darrell already, he's been like totally hogging the dyno...... Hahahaha :boink: But hopefully i'll be all squared away by tomorrow. So we'll see. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoman04 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Forecast for Detroit from Meteomedia in Montreal is 66F. With strong winds of 15mph coming from South West with sun, variably cloudy and 30% chance of rain... I will host my motherin- law and sister-in-law coming from México, so it's a fact that I won't go... But I will gollow you with the ebof.com during the day to follow your races and will accompany you the previous day for the fee beers! I really hope weather will cooperate as I am curious to see how recent upgrades from Livernois will translate at the track. Cheers guys! Ha steve, I'm going to Mexico by boat from Fla this weekend (for a week) with the OLD LADY, So I can go to LSM track day next yr with the OTHER WOMAN(SHO) LOL. Hope all have a good time.

Crash712us Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Everyone stay tuned tomorrow. If the weather cooperates with us I am confident we will see one of our members break into the 11's without a doubt. I am not a liberty to say why I am so confident that this will happen, but tomorrow it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Look'n better and better with each passing hour. Latest check of the radar at 0645hrs shows the storms related to the cold front are actually DISSIPATING! :whoo: Forecast for Milan, MI still calling for rain, but definitively done by late morning / early afternoon with high's projected to be in the low/mid 50's and temps falling back into the upper 30's by late evening. So looks like the racing Gods may kind to us after all..... If that's the case, as crash712us has previously eluded, stay tuned EBOF community.....

bpd1151 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Alright, a couple of what if variables..... IF the weather cooperates and this event actually does take place.... And IF there's enough lead time for the track to be prepped properly before racing actually commences.... I'll go out on a limb and predict a..... 11.7-11.8 in the 1/4 Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 With the heavy air, these 11's may be illusive. But sure would be nice if someone or ones does get into the 11's. Looking forward to the reports. Good luck, and good racing everyone, just stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve142857 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 How does it look in Milan now? Is it raining, as itstarted or is it ending? The humidity will be high and the air heavy. I don't know about the winds, are they blowing in the good direction at least? As much as I appreciate being the fastest (and quickest Darrell), I would really like you guys to be able to run today to test the newest additions and see how it translates on the track. My next mod will be downpipe and I am curious to see the results! Good luck with the weather guys, I am sending positive vibes! And in Montreal it is in the 70's today with sun... the day I believe you had yesterday... I wish it would have been the opposite for you in Detroit! Keep us posted please...

Crash712us Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 No records for me tonight. Traction is a huge issue for me still. Will report more tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingozzy Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Back Home from milan! I would like to thank Rick and Dan and everyone else at Livernois for the track day! The MKS ran a best of 13.11@105.14. I am really happy although I was trying for a 12 sec run. The track had some traction issues due to the cold weather my 60' was 2.0. I met some really nice guys that were running a lot faster than me but due to traction I didn't see any 11's. Good luck to everyone still there!!!

bpd1151 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'll echo same sentiments as Chris..... Traction issues are prevailing for literally everyone. That being said, the best I ran was a 12.3 tonight. So i'm happy with that given the condition of the track. Hopefully that will satiate some of your appetite for #'s there Steve :thumb: Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Well bpd if it is any consolation you have beat my best of 12.4. What tire pressure did you run? I had major traction problems this last weekend and kept lowering the pressure. I was down around 25 PSI on all 4 corners, still slipped, but seemed to help. 12.3 is still a screaming time!

bpd1151 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I dropped the fronts down to 25 psi, rears I kept at 27psi. Seemed to slow me down a lil.... so I went back & increased fronts to 27psi, then the rears to 30psi.... that seemed to work the best all factors considered. I'll post a couple of slips up later as I still have a long drive home ahead of me..... I'll probably toss up my newest dyno sheet also. Last dyno pull was this morning when it was still raining & what not.... Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nice time Mike, those are are smoking times. I don't know if you guys realize how hard it is to get a car to run in the low 13's much less the low 12's. And doing it in a car like the SHO is very impressive. But the 11's are not going to give up easily. They are fighting to remain a virgin to the SHO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
