The only day Indianapolis Raceway Park has test and tune is Tuesday. The only day of the week that it is guaranteed to rain if I am not working that night in Indianapolis is.... you guessed it.... Tuesday! They don't seem to realize that they would maintain a bit more loyalty if they would move test and tune to Thursday in weeks where it gets rained out on Tuesday.

I will be going to munciedragway Wednesday night if anyone is interested in showing up. It is a longer drive, but I havn't been able to get to IRP since opening day this year

This is what I want to do right now:

I hear ya, Keith. Seems like every time I get a day to work on building my deck, it rains. And when I think I'll actually be able to make it out to IRP, I end up working my part-time job

 

I actually ended up making it out to IRP last tuesday and ran a 12.511 @ 110.65 on pump gas and 19 psi of boost. Then as the night got colder and colder traction got worse and worse and after I put the race gas in I ended up running a 12.498 @ 112.80 on 21 psi of boost with a pathetic 1.874 60' time. Looks like it will be as cold this Tuesday as it was last Tuesday. I think I will take my GF's WRX to the track instead this time. It is bone stock and I have always wondered how it would do

Got the Advans on?? Are you spinning off the line??

 

There is talk of the subaru guys going out to IRP. So you wouldn't be the only one out there. I think I may actually be able to make this one, If I don't end up working on the deck.

 

Yup Advans are on, and with the low temps (must have been down to near 40 deg) they were giving me some wheel spin off the line if I launched to agressively.

Sounds good! I would love to see you run your EVO at the track. What all do you have done to it now?

Keith

 

Well, it's starting to rain here. I wouldn't think the track is going to be open. Even if it stops, I will probably try to get some work done on the deck. I need every chance I can to get that thing done. Since I have to build it myself. My family keeps bailing on me when it comes time to do some work. Isn't that nice?

The only thing that I have done to the EVO so far is the Helix DP, UR cat, & Perrin cat-back. It sounds great, looks stock and even feels like it took some pressure off the motor. And the Install was very easy (probably 1 to 1 1/2 hours at the most).

 

Yeah, I ended up not going due to the rain. Oh well. I hope to have the EVO back on the road this weekend, and if so I will try hitting the track again this Tuesday.
