Ennis 1/4mile: Saturday 10th 9am-5pm Test n Tune!

PlanoSER · 11-08-2001, 03:43 PM

Hey guys, just found out that on Saturday November 10th from 9am-5pm Ennis will be open for Test and Tune. It costs 15 bux to race and 8 bux to spectate. This will probably be your last chance to get a 1/4mile time for your car till spring. I am going to be meeting up with some people at the track and I hope to see some more SR20's there to help me represent

sh*t, have to work

tommy · 11-08-2001, 05:49 PM

Dang it! Can't make it back to Dallas this weekend!

PlanoSER · 11-08-2001, 05:51 PM

that's cool. Hey i was thinkin about goin down to houston for a weekend with my friend to run at their 1/4mile track since this is gonna be the last day to run at ennis. maybe we can hookup in a few weeks down in houston or somethin.

tommy · 11-08-2001, 05:59 PM

That's cool....If you know a time already, I'll plan to go too.

Hehe, I wonder how fast James can install a turbo. The game has begun!

yeah man I have to work on Saturday morning. Damn . I really feel bad. I have never tried out my car on the track. hey how much did it cost you guys to dyno your car. I know a place that charges 65 for 3 pulls. They are really cool. It's Intercrew here in Richardson. Let me know if you guys want to try this out.

PlanoSER · 11-08-2001, 06:59 PM

Intercrew sux really bad, please don't give them any business.. they have screwed over some of my friends.. Even my friend Will who used to work there.
Anyways I know a shop called Speedworks off of 121 that will give u 3 dyno runs for 60 bux and they even hook up the A/F so you can see if youre running lean/rich

brian · 11-08-2001, 07:49 PM

ya, speedworks is good, but I can't talk bad about intercrew, they have always been good to me, and did my brothers motor swap, and the distributor went bad in it a few weeks afterwards, and replaced it, but who knows, I have not been over there in a while ya, I wanna get my car dynoed though.

tommy · 11-08-2001, 08:10 PM

I think you have to show up to get your car dyno'ed

Mike sr20de · 11-08-2001, 08:37 PM

I think I have to agree with Tommy on that one!

Mad Sentra · 11-09-2001, 01:12 AM

ok back to topic.... I'll be there.. how do i get there??

And its 15 bucks for ONE race? 8 bucks to watch?

explain to me the situation and I'll make it out there before it ends... then off to huffines for the regular meet if its still on

tommy · 11-09-2001, 01:29 AM

$15 bucks to race means you pay and race as many times as you can during the night. if it's crowded, then you won't get many runs...if it's not crowded, you can get a lot of runs in

i gotta try it sometime too....just not this weekend

Mad Sentra · 11-09-2001, 02:18 AM

how crowded do u think it'll be?

I'm plannin on showin up at 2:30pm and stayin till it ends at 5... and hoping to get 3 races out of it to be worth it.

If i can only get 1 race between 2:30 and 5 then i'll go ahead and show up early with Matt at 11ish

Mad Sentra · 11-10-2001, 12:52 AM

How do i get there? i need directions

PlanoSER · 11-10-2001, 01:19 AM

Mad Sentra call me in the morning if u want to tag along, im leaving around 9am so dont forget to set ur alarm

214-566-5107 thats my cel
u can call me later on if u decide to meet me down there and need directions.. basically its I75 into down town, take I-35E exit to Waco take I-35E all the way to 287
u will turn left onto 287 and take that down till u see the track on the left side

Mad Sentra · 11-10-2001, 01:40 AM

ok this is my predicament... it starts at 9am... and i got a movie at 12noon in Highland Park to see..... SO... I can be at the track at 9am and be there till 11am then hightail it to highland park then at 2pm after the movie head BACK to the track and stay till 5 then go to Huffines....

But I won't do that if i don't HAVE to... it depends on how crowded it'll be... do you think it'll be crowded? I'm hoping to get in 3 races between 2pm and 5pm... is that possible?? or will i be in line too damn long... i mean.. keeping in mind that cars run the 1/4 MAX in 17 seconds each... so TECHNICALLY u can get 2 races per minutes with time to spare... and 2 races per minute means 120 races in an hr... which means 360 races from 2pm till 5pm... will i get 3 outta 360? heheh..... math whiz here..............

Mad Sentra · 11-10-2001, 09:02 AM

It's 8 am and I'm off to the Motorplex to get there when they open their gates at 9am according to their website....

Meet ya there, Matt. My cell phone #214-334-8588. Anyone wanting to meet us there call me up... i'm bringing my camcorder too... how can i camera and drive at the same time? hmmm

PlanoSER · 11-10-2001, 07:15 PM

hey thx for showin up alex that was cool. Let me know when u get those videos uploaded i wanna check them out

my car greatly exceeded my expectations hehe i was happy 14.7

tommy · 11-10-2001, 08:15 PM

14.7? Good job Matt!! How many runs did you get in? Was it crowded? Did anybody else go? How did Alex do?

Did that guy with the turbo Golf go? The one who dyno'ed 320.

PlanoSER · 11-10-2001, 10:28 PM

i only ran 6 times because i didnt want to run it TOO much. i DO have my limits haha. But i coulda seriously ran abotu 15 times if I kept going back in line.. it wasnt too crowded at all. I forgot what alex ran.. a mid-high 16 in that range but im sure he'll post. I met a ton of ppl i know up there...

My friend Jason ran his GTP with i/e/pulley to a 14.2

Jaysons GTi VR6 with chip/exhaust ran a 14.8 and pulled a 2.1 60ft

Turbo GTi VR6 ran a 13.4
the 320whp 1.8T didnt make it out

GSR with intake ran a 15.6

Prelude with i/h/e ran a 15.2 (i dont think he could launch very well .. 2.4 60ft)
