Barona Test & Tune-7/24/09

Oh no. Talking about the additive 104 not the octane. No way I'm adding that high a octane in my car. LOL!

. The weather is almost the same here as where you are, but you guys have the humidity.

Not quite. The weather has sucked here the whole time. I think we had one somewhat hot day here so far. It's rained 3 of the days and been cold 50-60's the rest. This is the middle of July!! WTF!????

Any who it's nice to see family. See you guys when I get back!

Welcome home BJ!

I want to go for the panel interview of the 24 cast. My buddy might be able to hook me up with a press pass. We'll see. Go there then head up to Barona afterward.

yea that might work but i would like to swap tires up thier wich would mean that i would need a place to put my jack and street tires whille i race i

I hope you are not talking about octane? It doesn't work that way. Higher doesn't mean better unless your car needs it and is tuned for it. Octane controls pre-ignition. If your car doesn't have a hot enough cylinder (compression=heat) to light and burn the octane that you have it will act as a timing retard and the unburned fuel will collect in the cats.

Wish I could go, but I'll be on vacation until Sunday.

He is knocking and pinging when he gets on the gas. I'm guessing his tune isn't what it's suppose to be...maybe some 104 will help it run a little better.

We always grab a spot in the pits to work on our cars. I have seen some very expensive jacks left around during racing with no problems.

Sounds like it should go back to Dante. Maybe you got a bad batch of gas??

 

[02gt]

will be a little late for the race, pulling in late tomorrow, im going to pack everything up and head strait overthere soon as i get off the boat....

 

[Mustangcwo]

Sounds like we'll have a good turnout. I'll see all of you tomorrow evening.

I'll have my jack up there. I leave my street tires and all my gear in the pit and nobody messes with them.

The car is running nice after adding the 104. Haven't heard anything since I added it and got on it pretty hard couple of times last night after the El Cajon cruise on the way to Sonic. All I have to say was Blackstallion's fault. :laugh:

Me too and never even thought about them.........

 

[sdsubzero4]

Nah....I don't worry about that up there. Most people up there are good decent people just there to race. RaceLegal, I'm a little more worry about it.

 

[Misled20]

i'm looking forward to running at barona again

will anyone have a floor jack? i might swap my 235 front tires to the back if the 215s are too horrible

I'll have mine there. You're welcome to it. I'll also have my compressor if anyone needs to air up later.

 

[IgottaV8]

I'll try to leave Comic-Con early, who knows, I may see KillerBee there.

 

[IgottaV8]

Hey KillerBee, Want to Cruise up there together, Will you be taking the Trolley, and if so, from which station??
