Our 2nd SC3G 3rd Generation F Body Shootout will held at:

Irwindale Drag Strip
500 Speedway Drive
Irwindale, CA 91706
(626) 358-1100

Irwindale Drag Strip

Like the last event, this event will be incorporated into the regular Thursday Nights T-N-T

The track opens at 4PM for tech and racing usually starts a little before 5 which is why I recommend that everyone that is planning on running their car be there a little before 4. I have found that the sooner you get your car tech'd and moved into the staging lanes. The more passes you will be able to make over the course of the evening.

$20 to race
$10 spectator
$5 for Kids 6-12
Kids 5 and under are free
Parking is free

As always if you have any questions, comments, or to RSVP please feel free to contact me

I want to go but I will need borrow a helmet. This will be my first time so it is going to be a new experience for me.
I don't want to get caught up in the in fighting that happened after the first meet.
Andy

 

I've got a helmet for you...

Fighting!? More like a dick measuring contest lmfao!

This event (same as the last) is all about getting a little seat time at the drag strip and lining up with fellow 3rd gen enthusiasts for a few passes. TPI, LSx, TBI, Carb, doesn't matter, run whatcha brung!

 

Ah... this one's looking like its going to be much bigger than the first one! WOW!

 

If my car isn't broken I'll go.

 

Would love to be there but i'm at work till 6 and with traffic, I would get there late. But I do hope everyone has a blast.

 

Ill be there

 

Nice, it will be a great opportunity to get some baseline numbers on your new combo

It generally goes a bit past 10 so even if you just came out to spectate, it would be worth it just to see all the 3rd gens making passes

You had better be coming! There's along line of people waiting to line up with you so they can spank that ***!

16 days to go!!!!

 

I'll try to make it then. Havn't been to Irwindale in years.

 

Imm going but no camaro

 

I've been getting weekly updates from 'my buddy' that works at the track on a handful of 3rd gens that we all know and love that are just flat hauling ***!

This is going to make for some serious head up 3rd gen action!

7 days to go!!!

 

Trans is going in on Tuesday, I may be able to make this.

 

Better get a decent tune first.

 

I've already had a second tuning session with Kevin, I'd like to get a dyno tune, but that trans **** the bed.

 

Nice, hope to see you in the staging lanes...

2 days to go!

 

Good morning guys... Just a couple of reminders before everyone heads out to Irwindale Speedway for our Shootout this afternoon.

There is going to be a high of 96* so it is extremely important that everyone stays hydrated and out of the sun whenever possible. So remember your hats and umbrellas/parasols for the ladies.

I will have an ez-up set up in the pit area where everyone can leave belongings (chairs, tools, wheels, ice chests, etc.) while making passes. I will also have an ice chest full of bottled water. Look for the SC3G banner to find us.

With free admission for the first 500 spectators, turnout is expected to be substantial so the earlier you get to the track the more runs you will get in. Track opens at 4PM with passes starting at 5PM.

Also remember when filling out your tech cards to put SC3G into the club/organization area. This will help track vehicle attendance/participation and give us a reference point with the track later when we build a stand alone event at the drag strip.

Finally, for those that will be making their first pass on a drag strip this afternoon. Make sure to get to the track early so Vincent and I can give you a little drag racing 101 you before you hit the staging lanes and making passes.

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me 714-713-0768.

This is going to be a big one so lets suit up and do the damn thing!

 

Sounds like it's going to be a blast out there. While you all are out there, I'll be putting together my steering an loading the car to Gene Jones Racing. A fair well to this engine combo. There wont be any last burn outs or anything like that. Driven into the shop for it's final fair well an leaving it with it's 442rwtq street legal wise.

 

Another great turnout last night guys! Thanks to everyone that braved the heat and came out and supported our second 3rd gen f body shootout. It was literally 99* in the shade! However the majority of us got 5 passes in the first 30 minutes which was remarkable in itself and an additional 3-4 after taking an hour break.

Congratulations to Andy (Ringo234) on not only popping us drag racing cherry last night, but on getting faster and faster eventually dropping a full second off of his initial pass! I also believe that he literally beat everything he ran against which is pretty cool in itself. It certainly didn’t go that way for me when I started drag racing. Quite the opposite in fact lol… A fresh set of drag radials and plenty of seat time you will definitely be one of the quicker 3rd gens to watch. Again, great job Andy

We have lots of images and videos to sort through from last night so I’ll get everything put together as up for everyone to enjoy hopefully much sooner than later.

It’s looking like November for Shootout #3 but I’ll keep everyone posted.

Thanks again guys, it was a blast

 

For those of you that want to know how big a difference headers can make on a stock car... This is a text book example. Two stock-ish 89 RS's with L03's and exact same bowtie overdrives stage 3 transmissions. Only difference is my 3.42 rear-end to Frank's 3.73's. We both cut a clean light with an almost identical 60' time...

Dyno Don's headers quite literally FTW


More video coming soon!

 

Dang, half a sec in the 8th from headers? Nice!

It was nice meeting everyone, sad I could run my car... still had a blast tho!

 

Thanks Mike
It better be a Lot cooler in November to get me back.
I'm going to try and get some Drag Radials by then.

 

Put the Drag Radials on your stock rims. Tire size 255/50/16

 

The stock rims have been sold, so I need rims and tires.

 

Would go....much cooler.......especially if I can figure out where some of theses wires go and the SS lines with blue colored ends.

 

I bought these slicks on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271291526368...84.m1497.l2649
Was thinking of get some cheap steal Chevy rims at pick a part, any better ideas appreciated, but must be cheap. Actually Don has a set I can use so I'm ready to go back to Irwindale in hopefully much cooler weather.

Well as it turned out I made a mistake the tires I bought were not drag slicks but road race tires.
I contacted the seller and explained my mistake and that is wouldn't be worth sending back because the shipping cost would be to expensive. He agreed that the shipping would be stupid and sent this email reply"

"Apologizes for the disappointing tires----I try to be clear in my description , listing the tires as ROAD RACE TIRES----many of my customers do use these as inexpensive substitute drag tires and they are satisfied----have you tried the tires out-
If these are not what you expected I will of course stand behind my 100% Satisfaction Guarantee----
A full refund will be sent thru Pay-pal.""

He did refund the full price including shipping, I was willing to just keep the tires but he refunded the money anyway.
So I am going to give these tires a try at the next race day in November.
Andy

 

Has any date for Nov. been picked yet? My nitrous project is a step closer, maybe at date will motivate my lazy a$$.
