We rented four garage bays, stop by and say hi if you are just coming out to spectate, speculate or postulate. And check out the Kognition S14 Silvia with the new race kit. Sickly sickness that must be beheld. :bow:

Are you related to Rev. Jessie Jackson by any chance?

[kognition]

I resemble that remark. :keke:

Seriously, get your asses out there and support the only S14 in the unlimited class!

I wish I could join up the CA Speedway hpde driving school, but its a little pricey for me. However, I'm very interested in joining Redline's street of willow weekend event on Jul 26th. Their time attack program looks to be a lot of fun. If I see you there, I will be sure to stop by and say hello.

[Aoshi112]

If I have time I'll try to swing by your garage. I'm going to be pit crew-ing for my friends at the event. I can't wait!

[Relentless350Z]

We'll be there with the Z and EVO!

[dirtdiggler666]

im going to try and make it to watch

i have never been to a redline event

[mmdb]

Yo Mike. What's this race kit you mention? Details? Btw are your hoods available yet? I want one! Btw I called your phone, but no one picked up. I'd like to make it to that event, but I got a speed ventures one I'm going to the following weekend! :D

[A Spec Products]

I'll be there helping pit for a friend

[krayzbigmac]

A good portion of all the SoCal R/C drifters are going to be down there for a competition. It's part of the festivities going on so we'll be there. Stop by the HPI Racing R/C track and say whats up to some of the guys in orange and black pit shirts. haha

Race kit, basically it solves the issues i have had with wanting to make certain parts and integrate them effectively. Wide body fenders, bumper that matches the fender lines, and the bumper allows our splitters to bolt directly up without having to do any home depot voodoo stuff. And the headlite deletes bolt onto the bumper. Intake areas for our brake duct kit as well.
Hood i am still testing. :)

I saw the Kognition S14 roofless at JWT a few weeks ago...so sick! Definitely looking forward to seeing it run.

[kognition]

Wow what a great weekend!

Yea it was a great event. I didn't get out to watch much, but it was awesome meeting all the people that stopped by our setup.

[tracks13]

Any videos? .

[kognition]

I'm still trying to find the in car video on my camcorder. I guess they did not press the button. I was strapped in and could not reach back for it. :-/

Any videos? .

[krayzbigmac]

It was a crazy weekend, tons of fun. Too bad I didn't really get to walk around due to our R/C event. But hey, I won time attack for R/C! A great event, really glad I went both days.

[kognition]

Not fast enough though, i came in 4th behind the Relentless 350z by 20 seconds. Of course i am the most underpowered car in unlimited class, everyone else is 400 to 800 Hp. I am 260 :). Moreso because i have been learning to control the car out there with pro time attack drivers. That was my only run of the entire day! No practice. I did get lapped by the GST Suby, but he actually broke the track record when he lapped me. I didn't spin out once! :Ownedd: New motor (400hp) for the new season.

Those little cars are amazing to watch! I was mesmerized just seeing all that torque of those motors.

went saturday could not make it sunday i was super bummed when i could not find the Kognition car on sat:-/ :-/

i got a bunch of pics i will post up later

[dirtdiggler666]

oh and on sat the relentless z looked like it was having probs on sat it was smoking alot anyone know what was wrong??

and what time did the blue s15 put down it looked like a nice car

[kognition]

I missed Sat , sorry.
The Z was running a whole 10 seconds slower than the last time it ran this track layout. Not sure what the problem was, but usually when a new motor is built (as it was) there are gremlins of some kind.
The Endless S15 (amazing car) was running 2 minute times.

The car was fine. For some reason when we are in boost and then do a hard decel, the turbo system created some blow-by and the burnt oil would smoke out of the exhaust. The problem had stopped by Sunday. This was the first run on that motor so there are a few small (thank god) bugs. The only real mechanical problem we had all weekend was some heat issues and a pinhole leak in one of the fittings in the coolant system. Our main issue was that our cams from the old motor (non-Revup) didn't transfer to the new motor (Revup) and we couldn't get new ones made in time so we were on stock cams which created a ton of lag with the turbos. We couldn't feel boost until 5k rpm and then it came in hard and our redline was at 7750 rpm. It was pretty much impossible to keep it in that small window for a lot of the infield turns so we were losing A LOT of time waiting for the turbos to kick in. Like Kognition said, we went there 2 months ago with the car and ran a 1:46 on Toyo R888s before that motor went. The best we did this weekend was a 1:51 in practice and a 1:52.0 in the time attack so it was a very frustrating weekend for us.

i went!!!!!!....it was badass!!!!!!....great cars

I know there are more pics coming. Here's Mike blocking a perfectly good view of my car. :rolleyes:

[JayDee M Rolly]

barely saw the car show or the race that weekend cuz i was at the r/c booth as well. saw some awesome cars on the track hauling ass though. and i used my longboard to take a quick peek at the show and found some nice s-chassis love at the end.

[Aoshi112]

I was too busy pitting for two cars to walk around but otherwise a great event. I'm completely exhausted still from running around all weekend.

[Raskalking]

hung out for while there good stuff. heres a spot with a bit more on the event and the endless fifteen (http://domstat.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/endless-redline-time-attack-ca-speedway/)

http://domstat.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cp2_2715.jpg

This was my friend's car who I helped to pit for (Endless USA)

Car mechanically was running fine, it is still in shakedown mode technically, only second event out on the track since completion for time attack

Best time was 2:00.439, but unfortunately blew trans and lost 4th gear at the end of the day...but main thing is that the car ran well and came back in one piece

Overall I had a good time, it was neat to see another side of motorsports I typically don't immerse myself in, but I'm super zonked from the weekend (and Formula D was the previous weekend so I want a break!!! LOL)

http://domstat.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/cp2_2602.jpg

For those who are curious, its putting down around 333hp / 334tq

Engine wise it's pretty much:

HKS Inner & Outer Valve Springs
HKS Valve Stem Seals
HKS Retainers
HKS Rocker Arms
HKS Solid Lifters
HKS Step 3 Intake Cam
HKS Step 3 Exhaust Cam
HKS Injectors
HKS Head Gasket
HKS GT-RS Turbo
HKS Turbo Elbow
HKS Downpipe
HKS Twin Power DLI II
HKS Intercooler
HKS Oil Cooler
HKS F-Con V Pro
HKS EVC

...does anyone $ee a trend? LOL

Crap. I hate you.

[kognition]

I have a build thread going in the premie section, and just when i thought i was happy with my new rear fender widening project... i looked at this car yesterday. Back to the drawing board....... wider!
Really a nice car in person, amazing paint as well. I wonder if i actually got in a single practice session if i would hit a 2 minute time. 5th gear just bogs in the straight away if you don't have any serious HP. My quick moves were all happening in the corners.

[dirtdiggler666]

ok guys here is a few pics i took now rember i got a pos camera so it was really hard to shoot any pics on the track as i was really far away, oh and all the pics were from sat.

[kognition]

Thank's, the car was in the middle of a widebody design session when i had to pull it together for the weekend. Which is why it has the old front end and primered back fenders and roof. Check my build out as i go along.

great event!! Met a lot of cool enthusiasts and gained a lot of experience!!

Our car had several mishaps during day-1's practice sessions. Due to crazy amount of downforce created from the Aero (we were hitting 170mph at the straights!), our front bumper and rear diffuser were ripped off!! See pix!

However we were able to get the front bumper and clutch line fixed before the actual Time Attack, and ended up finishing 2nd behind 1st place MFQ in Modified Class. (about two tenth of a second)

Zip ties FTW!!
