Ok folks, zMax is hosting two Saturday Test & Tune's in March, the 12th & 19th. Now I know you love the food and the snappy service at QS&L, but I'm willing to bet you'd be ok if we change venue next month to zMax on the 19th, right??

So here's what we have! The TnT is from 10am to 5pm and it's $5 per person and $20 per vehicle to race. I've spoken with one of the organizers and told him our club is likely to bring 20+ cars with possibly half of them running. As a show of support the organizer is offering us Pit Pass Parking for spectator cars so we can all park together in the staging lane area. On top of that, since we're BRINGING SO MANY CARS he also wants to offer us a discount on entry.

So what do you say? We had a blast at the Farmington Track Day last October...how 'bout double the fun at a track twice as long?? :yes1:

Our TN members are having their meet on the 19th as well and as much as I'd like to avoid that date we're at the mercy of the track's schedule. The good news is there's probably enough distance that we'll see little to no impact on attendance for either. :thumbsup1:

Here's the plan:

We will meet at the Bojangles off Bruton Smith Blvd beside QS&L at 10:30am sharp on Saturday March 19th. We'll hang for 20-25mins until everyone shows, then we'll cruise to zMax together, pay, register and pick up our Pit Pass Parking then roll through the gates and establish our parking area. Note: Putt has volunteered to mark our territory(I'm afraid of what that means!!) Those that can't make it that early can still come as I hope to submit a list of members at the gate so you'll still receive the discount and Pit Pass to catch up with the group. Maybe other's will set up a round two meeting time at Bojangles? It's really up to whatever works for your schedules.

Racers can hop in the staging lanes, make their run(s) and then circle back with the group for some timeslip comparison. Also, while waiting in the staging lanes, members have access to hang with you.

The concessions should be open so you can eat at the track whenever you're ready!

This should really be a lot of fun and I truly hope the club can turnout the numbers I told zMax. There's been complaints in the past about not enough racing events for the club. There's also been complaints about zMax not having enough open TnTs when the weather is better(spring & fall). Well here ya' go...let's kill two birds and bring some SEFB heat!!!
:firedevil::3gears:

To recap:

SEFB March Concord Meet-n-Drag at zMax
Saturday March 19th
10:30am Meet at Bojangles(7701 Gateway Lane Concord, NC 28027)
11:00am Cruise to zMax Dragway
5:00pm End of TnT

Post up if you plan to make it and we'll see you there!!

AAARRRRGGGGG!!! You've gotta be kidding me! I'm moving to Atlanta tomorrow morning and now the NC folks are doing a 1/4 mile track day?! Daaaaaaaaamnit!

I've been wanting to run the ole Greeen Bean down the 1/4 mile since I got it..... I might just have to make a trip back to NC so that I can drag it out of the garage in Gboro and take it down the track!

How fast does your car have to run before needing a cage according to tech? Not that my car will go fast enough. Just curious.

If I remember correctly, tech was more about long pants, closed toe shoes and a helmet. If you're car looks like it'll run 9sec and there's no cage I imagine they'll question it, but otherwise when I tech'd last year it was a 30 sec process. ;)

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. A helmet is required for the driver of any car or truck running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile.

I'm going to try and make it to this but as of now I have no idea I asked for the day off again but my boss could screw it up for me yet again. If I have the day off I will be dynoing my car and running at zmaxx the same day and I may get my brother to bring his msp as well as a few of his Mazda buddys.

For those that are wanting to ride up from Greenville SC area, we could meet up at the Citgo on Highway 14 at I85 (exit 56) and leave from there. Prob would need to leave around 8:30-8:40 to make it to Concord NC and meet up with the NC crew.

BTW I am hoping to get the remainder of my transmission parts tomorrow and start assembly on my AOD, so I may end up being able to make a clean pass down Z-Max!! :thumbsup1:

EDIT: Also geared like a stock fox... yay

93mustang2.3t

Not exactly my fox couldn't do 110 in third barely in fourth. I just wouldn't expect a stock tranny to be geared like that.

5.SLO
03-10-2011, 06:48 PM
*face palm*

1) A 4 cyl T-5 is geared a lot shorter than a V8 T-5

2) Stock Fox = 2.73 Geared 5.0. 4 bangers need not apply.

What does it matter how much mph it can do in a gear when it takes it longer to get there? Talking about a 2.73 geared fox or the SHO.

Negative.

I've had 2 SHO's over the years.

SHO was rated 220 hp vs the 5.0's 225.

SHO also has more weight to pull.

You are right about the weight factor I'm hoping waynes hatch will make up for that. lol


Also I will have no cat's and I will also have a 2.5in exhaust compared to the 2in.

The Y pipe on these things is one of the biggest power killers that and the Butterflies. No I'm not talking about insects. If you guys don't know about them and would like to learn let me know I will happily show you a picture and describe it to you. :lol1:


But think before you make fun of my TORE A$$ atleast it's still a ford and not some stupid acura, honda, or mazda.

Are you now saying that your SHO is faster than a 5.0 fox?

If so, then you're also saying it's faster than a 4.6 SN car... and if THAT's the case, I would LOOOOOOOOVE to race that thing in my DD for $ :deal:

93's were only rated that because the rating system changed.

I know more about SHO's than you seem to realize. I've have had the intake off one before. Done several things to them.
I've been down the 1/4 probably 100+ times in a SHO. Even my old automatic 94 SHO ran a best of 15.26 @ 91 mph... A 5spd would be faster long as you can get it off the line decently...which is tough. SO yes.....a stock AOD 5.0 MIGHT be in trouble.

93mustang2.3t

No worries. I was simply referring to how the '96-'98 GT's are slower than a 5.0 fox.

I hope you and Wayne get to go head to head. Should be a good race. :thumbsup1:

Just fyi there was no SHO in 88.
89-91 gen 1
92-95 gen 2
96-99 gen 3
10-?? gen 4


The reason I like the SHO so much is because it was made by the same guys who made the SVO. :yes1:

Yep. The 89-95's were made with Yamaha, Mazda, and Ford the 96-99's were made with Cosworth bottom ends, Yamaha heads, mazda tranny's, and then ford bodys so a big mutt.

Dude, why do you keep pulling up the specs for a 93 GT when I have an 88?
Just curious as to why?

Also is your SHO stock? Any mods? Curious to hear......

93mustang2.3t

Bc I can't pull up the specs on an 88 kbb doesn't go back that far. It has a 3.2 instead of a 3.0 and a full exhaust system on it. And some 225 Doral SDL's so better traction but not drag radials lol.

Nah, I don't need any power adders. My K&N is enough to take care of most opponents. My SEFB sticker easily adds 5 hp at the wheels.

Oh and for everybody else on the board thats not up on the past, 2.3T's MO is a lot of talk, backed up by skewed facts and "known" stuff until the time comes to run his car, or heck, even show up for a meet then there is a issue with his car, tune or personal life.




And before it comes out. My car is still apart getting paint and body work done to the engine bay so unless you want to run my 2.3L car then don't worry about calling me out.

Just touched base with the zMax coordinator again and mentioned we have close to 25 cars that plan to attend. I'm going to email him a list of SCREEN NAMES by Friday afternoon so post up if you're not on the list but plan on coming. That way whether you meet up early at Bojangles or not you're covered! :thumbsup1:

The ticket booth on the far right(Speedway side) as you face the front entrance will be open and only the pits and staging lanes on the that same side of the strip will be used for TnT. Go to the ticket booth, tell them you're with SEFB and give them your screen name. I believe everyone pays the $5 entrance fee and then another $15 if you're racing(discounted from $20). Racers get a Tech Card and everyone is supposed to get a Pit Pass Parking sticker. The parking sticker is what allows everyone to park together so make sure you get that as well. Those with trailers can still park in the pits with the group so no worries there.

The forecast is currently showing 80 and sunny with ZERO chance of precip...so bring your sunscreen pale faces!!! :lol1:

Again...post up you're not on the list and plan to attend to receive the discount race fee and pit pass parking.
See everyone Saturday!!!!!!!!!:unknowndriver:

Hey I had a faster time than the white sho btw thank you very much. Notch you know I had issues but I know for a fact you would woooooooooooooooooooop my a$$ all day long.

Sorry man but from the stuff I heard you talking about today has me convinced that you're at least 3/4 tard.

As a side note, it doesn't matter what time you run. If the other car crosses the finish first you lose. :yes1:

Awesome time today guys and gals. The turnout was awesome, the weather was darn near perfect and the racing was fun. It was great so see all those Foxes out there steadily improving throughout the afternoon. Some of the "rookies" will be wearing those smiles for the next few days I imagine. :yes1:

Can't wait for The Rock!! :3gears:

Yucking it up at The Lube afterwards was a riot too! :thumbsup1:

Also, Dylan "Foust" will be hosting a donut and drifting clinic down at MW if anyone is interested!!! :lol2: (sorry, inside joke)

One bummer note...I left my camera's with all the pics and vids in Mooresville by accident this evening so I won't be posting them until tom evening when I can get up there and back after chuch and such. :hide:
