[swayray]

of course i'm going to sign up... i really want to beat my old time of 1:36.506 in a much cooler weather. My car overheated through the day making that time (it was 103 degrees that day) so i hope i can beat it in a cooler weather.

btw i'm running on a stock 235k miles KA24DE, stock exhaust, stock cat, buddy club coilovers, 1.5 way lsd and a jwt cone filter and a stock intake tube.

[azndummie]

What are the rules/restrictions for this?

[let5l1de]

My KA is has about 7.5k miles on it but its got some internal goodies. I'll keep the stock computer and drop the KA injectors back in tho. I don't need the additional power, its a play day...

So what is everyone's choice of tires?

[silsx13]

c'mon paul I told you about this already the last time you came over the shop. Bring your s15 or maybe even your time attack champion Z34... whatever you bring I can assure you it'll be loads of fun!!!

The weather last year was perfect. Sunny but still cool 70-73 degrees. You can't ask for a better weather than that. This year however is still up to the gods... hopefully it'll be the same or cooler... every degree would be make me 0.005 seconds faster... lol

[Knapik]

Silly knapik. How many people are are staying in a hotel.

Knapik- What was the one that had those killer rates.

[Knapik]

and i still dont know how much for both days lol

[mrchomponthis]

[silsx13]

ALRIGHT!!!! I'm going to be bringing LOT'S of COOKIES!!!!

The KA class was small last year....maybe only like 5-6 cars which was including Tom and myself...

SO, I'm guessing the AE86 knights will be out there again.....

[junkyiv]

so your saying non 240s and non corolla's wont be able to run on sunday?

Not at all. Anyone can bring anything out to play, there just won't be a class for anything other than S-chassis and Corollas. So we'll just have to group you by your vehicle and skill level. Just register and pay and you're IN!!!

EARLY REGISTRATION IS OVER THIS SUNDAY!!!!!
BE SURE TO GET IN ON THIS BEFORE THE PRICE GOES UP!!

[mmdb]

payment sent. When will details of this event be up? Please update initial post.

[Dicker]

Is there going to be a miata challenge? or class or whatnot?

Would a 1.8 miata get grouped into 1.8 Open class if not?

Thanks!

[articdragon192]

I don't care about being in a class and competing. I just wanna know if I can drive the event.

[articdragon192]

So, drift or grip? Hmmm lol.

[cheeky14]

don't mean to repeat what probably has been already stated but is the $125 price per day still good until this sunday Nov. 8 ?
and if i sign up for 1 day do i need to specify which day, ahead of time?

Thanks

[DJ PoW]

Yes, yes and yes

Grip only.

Yes it does. We're just trying to get more people to bring their KA's out to the track.

[DJ PoW]

i guess its the original thread maker, should i just ask you my questions? are you running the event too?

[articdragon192]

Grip only.


Oh no, you misunderstand. It was more of a question of want event do I want to do on this day, a drift or grip event. I know this is a grip only event.

[junkyiv]

i guess its the original thread maker, should i just ask you my questions? are you running the event too?
I help coordinate these events yes, ask away.

Oh no, you misunderstand. It was more of a question of want event do I want to do on this day, a drift or grip event. I know this is a grip only event.
Ok understood. Even though drifting Street of Willow is AWESOME!!!! I guess it'll just be clarification in case anyone else is wondering.

[junkyiv]

Saturday is just about full. We still have a few spots open for the beginner group so anyone interested should get registered. It's a great opportunity for anyone who wants to try tracking their cars for the first time or get a feel for what it's like.
There will be many Advanced and Professional drivers there willing to help and give pointers.

Did I mention there will be COOKIES!!!???

[mmdb]

how many people will be out in each group?

[junkyiv]

There will be 15-20 cars per run group depending on total number of entries.

[let5l1de]

Unfortunately, current times have forced me to sit out on this event. boooo..... I'll still show with my camera on saturday or sunday for some event coverage.

~m

[Yeap]

Sent payment for Saturday only. Add me to the beginner group.

[koukikat180sx]

So, drift or grip? Hmmm lol.

i did some research, there's a "misc." class you can run in :)

[koukikat180sx]

i guess its the original thread maker, should i just ask you my questions? are you running the event too?

1. i'm not a dude
2. i'm sorry i'm not on zilvia everyday. my anniversary was this past weekend, and my priority wasnt posting/surfing zilvia.
3. if you needed to get ahold of me that urgently, my aim screen name is posted as well as my personal website which has my personal email address is posted on my signature. if you still need it, please email me at [email protected] driftday.com or my gmail address which is koukikat180sx @gmail.com emails get sent to my phone, so i will reply to you. or your other alternate option is to contact tom - junkyiv who is a drift association staff member.

and i know the flyer says pricing will increase after nov. 1, if you did not inquire with me or tom in pms or on this thread prior to that date, the new price is $135. if you inquired with me prior to today, i will honor the old price.

thanks.

Just do PayPal and get your payment in soon, by this weekend would be good, and you should be fine. This will be a great event for your first time on Streets, plenty of experience and support will be on hand. And yes Saturday would be the best choice of days as a beginner.

Yeah, something like "silver slot shooter" sounds a bit cheap doesn't it?

[let5l1de]

Yeah, something like "silver slot shooter" sounds a bit cheap doesn't it?

Since we are making names, I'd like to add "Palladium Pocket Pistol"!

If I had to name my ride it would be "Butterscotch, yo."

So bummed about sitting on the sidelines for this weekend... T_T

[junkyiv]

I guess I'd have to call mine the "gutless wonder" . lol

[swayray]

anybody claimed the "pocket pool shooter" name yet?

[silsx13]

it's not silver, at least get the color right.

it's a titanium b*tch bullet... (besides its got more of a premium sound to it than just 'silver')

Ok, "Titanium B*tch bullet" it is then...hahah.

But is there a difference between the regular and premium models? Speed settings? *wink wink* hahaha =P

KA class was fun! Least no one really got blown out between 1st, 2nd, etc. etc. The top 5 all drove well (myself included, hehe) but I think it was just getting out and running with each other that was the most fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Thanks much to driftday for putting on this gripday time attack...look forward to doing it again next year!

Oh, and thanks Tom for bringing the cookies! They were great too!

Well, winning by two seconds is a blowout IMO. In real racing two seconds might as well be a minute... I am so bummed that I missed this event two god damn years in a row. I guess I'll just have to make it up at the redline time attack at buttonwillow next year.

Yep 2 seconds is big yes but I guess I meant like 5-10 seconds sorry......

I know that a car that is 2 seconds a lap faster than his competitors in a race would be a big deal because it's stretched out over how many laps, etc. etc. So in that case, 2 seconds would be a blowout and a huge advantage.

Sorry that you couldn't make it out this year racepar1- Try to make it out next year dude! It's a lot of fun!

Which 240 was Mike T. driving that day? Just curious....

And you had to pull out the F&F "winning's winning" quote, haha....

My personal fav: "Almost had me??? You never had me...you never had your car!" LOL

[racepar1]

My personal fav: "Almost had me??? You never had me...you never had your car!" LOL

"granny shiftin and not double clutchin like you should..."

LOL!

Nobody's diamond plate floor plate fell off right???

Ya, in a 20 lap race 2 seconds a lap is a 40 second gap at the finish. I'm used to thinking in 10ths and 100ths of a second...

^^^Anyone know what times Kenny ran? That little MR-S has come a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG way in the last year or so...

Oh, and what tires were you guys running???

[Paul2x]

When I was behind you, I felt like I was watching in fast forward! Although your driving is a-maz-ing as is to post the 1:22.. I wish that you didn't have to fight through so much traffic so that we could've been even more :eek2:amazed at your real time. I hope next time you could be in a group that goes more along with your skill!

LOL, Thanks very much. Yeah I think w/ some more chassie tuning 21's are right around the corner. Congrats on breakin through the 36' barrier, and to the rest of the KA podium. Matt's 1.30.xx, KA record?? Think so.. Freakin Awesome! :rawk:


My Recap:
With a fresh tune from Koji at Drift Speed, Fresh alighment, and Fresh set of Hankook's I was all set for Sunday's event.

Car Set-up:
I tried a few new things for this event.
First off was fresh tune from Drift speed Netting roughly 60whp+ and 30whp in midrange than before, the car was set on hp, and running better than ever. (Thanks Koji!)
Traction was always an issue since the turbo upgrade just due to power deverly but my friends at Hankook set-me up w/ fresh set of their Z214 (Dot r-comps) in (hard/endurance) compound which are essentially like shaved Nt01 (same compound i was told) would be a good fit for lightweight S-chassie. Size was 245/40/17 square, which was a little different from the 235/255 combo I usually run, but allowed me to run slightly less aggressive camber up front than normal.

On track:
On track the car felt pretty loose at first, but with new power and tires and 60 deg temps it was expected. Turns out the low track temps, and light weight car, and only few hot laps per session werent enough to get the tires up to proper temps. I constantly was air'n down the Hankooks from 33, 31, 30, 29 etc to get more heat in them. Each time adding more grip and stability.
On the power side I also turned boost down from 1.25 bar to .8 bar which dropped about 70-80whp but kept the car much strighter.
In the the end, I figured I needed at least 3-4 hot laps before i got any heat into the tires and from 4laps up times began to drop. Which resulted in a best of 1.22.3xx on my 6th lap, which was good enough for 1st place in SR class and possibly 1st overall. (final results pending :Ownedd: )

Next time around, I will try running the tires at 27psi or so to get heat in them sooner or running softer compound :naughty:

At the end of the day big thanks everyone for their help, couldn't do it with out you!:
Hankook -for the fresh kicks :rawk:
DriftSpeed Crew - Koji, Quok, Masa for being super cool dudes and S-chassies masters :bowrofl:
AE Performance - Hommies! Suspension tuning Guru's and parts galor:wavey:
Etnies- for the fresh kicks on my feet =) :fruit:
Dynamic Autosport: Eddie, Mike, Eugene, Thanks for keepin mad parts in stock and being open on SAt! :snoop:

[racepar1]

Next time around, I will try running the tires at 27psi or so to get heat in them sooner or running softer compound :naughty:

Really??? From my experience you want to run more cold pressure on cold days to bring the tires up faster. I've never heard of anyone dropping pressure in order to help the tires come in sooner. Are you sure that you just weren't running higher pressure then the tires were designed to run??? I mean on our hoosier race slicks we ran 13psi/16psi cold almost all the time. I run in the high 20's/low 30's with my "street" tires. I would talk to the hankook boys if I was you because that is exactly opposite of everything that I know about tire pressures.

Congrats on the time, that's some commendable driving and car set-up. I wanna see a time sheet in the teens though... That is honestly my eventual goal at SOW CW. :naughty:

^^The "Return of Coneman!" Larry ALWAYS takes awesome shots! He makes me and my car look good, haha.


Oh, and what tires were you guys running???

Was running Dunlop Direzza Star Specs....had to also air down to get heat into them due to the cold temps on track which sucked at first but when the temps came up after 3 laps, it was all good.

[autobahNESSA]

Oh, and what tires were you guys running???

I was running R1R's

[mrj355]

Thanks Paul for the compliment on the "KA Record" time. I honestly don't know what the best KA time at Streets is. I'll have an SR for next year so we'll see what I can do then.

I wanted to also thank Naoki and Grip/Drift Day ppl for putting on the event and everybody who came out. It was good to meet some of you and perhaps I'll check in to Zilvia a little more than my normal once/yr.

I was using ADVAN Neovas (AD07).

Racepar1 ================
Really??? From my experience you want to run more cold pressure on cold days to bring the tires up faster. I've never heard of anyone dropping pressure in order to help the tires come in sooner. Are you sure that you just weren't running higher pressure then the tires were designed to run??? I mean on our hoosier race slicks we ran 13psi/16psi cold almost all the time. I run in the high 20's/low 30's with my "street" tires. I would talk to the hankook boys if I was you because that is exactly opposite of everything that I know about tire pressures.
========================
This is correct for slicks, my street tire logic below is incorrect for the tires Paul had. My error. To get the most out of those tires, aero and possibly more suspension tuning is necessary to get the right amount of heat in them for use in such short sessions. Also, a softer compound would have been ideal for colder outside temps given the short run times.


Regarding tire pressures (there are a number of variables to consider but here is a simple version).... The sessions weren't very long (20 min at most) and with the race tires Paul was using, it isn't as much about pressure as it is about getting them hot so he was correct in bringing pressures down because that increases contact patch and even (if low enough) sidewall roll over but the benefit is that working the tire harder generates more heat (=grip). Without tire warmers, it is almost beneficial to have gone out with low pressure (not underinflated) to work the tires, come into hot pit, air the tire to your ideal cold pressure +1-2psi and go back out to set times. Higher cold pressure wouldn't have helped the tire generate more heat.

But this is difficult in such short sessions and potential traffic. Regardless, Paul was quick and I think he was able to get some clean laps in because you can't do a 1:22.xx with traffic. More time probably could have been had by finding the happy zone for the tires.

Congrats on the time, that's some commendable driving and car set-up. I wanna see a time sheet in the teens though... That is honestly my eventual goal at SOW CW. :naughty:

I did a 1.18.xx in my Shifter kart at Streets...lol

Thats almost verbatium what Hankook told me yesterday. My low psi's of the day were typically on the high side, but thats what chassie tuning is all about. Also going to try and up my spring rates, and add new LSd if possible.
I'll eventually get her dialed in.

Oh and Kenny did a 1.26.2xx, on starspec's

Thanks again =)

[azndummie]

LOL i ran a 1:37.1xx, yep its slow. brakes were fading all over... ill probably try a z32 master cyl next event and different pads. seems like the bias is extremely front. I shouldnt have procrastinated, but oh well. good job to everyone out there!

Okay..here are some shots from my camera that I took (and some that I obviously didn't :) )

[swayray]

I don't have all of the results for all the different run groups but for now the N/A KA class result are:
1st place. Matt Johnson. 1:30.17
2nd place. John Hartendorp. 1:32.20
3rd place. Tom Flowers. 1:32.81
4th place Vanessa Lam. 1:34.12
5th place. Ray Diaz. 1:34.43


Gosh... I got beat by a girl by 0.31 seconds.... i think its time to get better tires than my direzza street tires (i should try your R1R tires onetime)... or at least gut my interior... or get headers or a one piece drive shaft... can't really do much on a KA on a budget... or maybe i should just stop drifting every corner... ya that should do that next time...

It was still fun playing cat and mouse chase with you Vanessa... of course you were the cat I was the mouse with the pink helmet since I was sliding all over the place.... :keke: I really need to learn how not to drift on a grip event...

Awesome event as always... I had loads of fun and i'm pretty satisfied with my 1:34.43 time since I was aiming to beat my old 1:36.50 time I had earlier this summer. (maybe the c-west headlight cover did help give me that extra .5hp)

Awesome pictures as always larry!!! thank you!!!:

http://www.worlddriftseries.com/ddtimeattack/04.jpg


Paul2x... you are fast as hell... I actually have a video of you passing all 4 of us 240sx on the straight... of course if you watch the video and blink, you'll miss it... (currently uploading it right now at youtube) I now know what that 2x stands for on your username.

I can't wait for the next streets event...

GripDay 2 - Day 2 PhotoSet (http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72157622791685911/)

Great event!

My oh my Larry, what a big..... LENS you have. Very nice! By no means does my 100 dollar lens contend in Larrys league (maybe skills for that matter?). Regardless, enjoy the set. These are also available large format hi-res. If I have missed your car, please pm me with the number, make, model, color... and I'll post them. Enjoy!

Ray, you lost to a girl????!!!! WHAT?! Eh, its ok...blame the tires and the headers and the etc. etc... hahaha j/k. You still did good out there cuz you went faster than you did last time you ran....just stop drifting that much!

And the "2x" in Paul's username stands for "2 times as fast as (insert name here)....." hehehe =P

[autobahNESSA]

Great shot Vanessa! I dunno if you or someone else took this but it's nice! Thank you!

Haha, I don't think I took that picture since I was probably out with you on track. I'll forward your compliments to Steve from Corner 3 :) He'll be flattered! If you want a full res photo, let me know!

Hey Ray! I had such a fun time during that session..you really helped push me along and I am so thankful!!

I am yearning for another time attack event!! :drool:

running with you was the highlight of my day... its always fun to run with someone who is pretty much matches your time slip.

Here's the you tube video of my run with you... (Warning... 9:40 minutes long...)

[allmotorking]

I had a lot of fun on sat. good seeing some of the guys out there that I haven't seen in awhile. the azenis actually held up pretty decent in that cold ass weather. hehe.

[xpertsnowcarver]

I have a video up as well. According to my friends, My best time was a 1:32.3

[Paul2x]

Sweet vid and drifts Ray, cool battle between you and Vanessa. and check out Nessa with the late braking! lol Damm.

p.s My car was about 300-320hp that day, only had it at .8bar to keep her stright ;)


xpertsnowcarver

I love your car, sick build! :bowdown: I had no idea. I thought you were SR the whole time out their. Autech S13 build FTW, So awesome! I'm pretty bumbed I didn't come by and say hi and check out your car.

Thanks for posting that, you have great taste!

[xpertsnowcarver]

lol. Thank you. I am SR, but no turbo.

I was too hesitant to meet every person, since it was my first time. People had more than one set of tires, tools and jacks at hand, and talking to amongst themselves. I didn't know how to approach. I didn't have any of that, lol.

[allmotorking]

hey man,

i met you and your dad on sat. i was in the red m3 along w/ the other live sockets yahoos next to you. haha.

[xpertsnowcarver]

Hi Twee (I apologize if I have your name incorrect or spelled it incorrectly). Yea, my father was not reluctant at all in introducing himself. I didn't know the other also worked with you.

I was just watching the 'Bugatti vs Lake' video on your website. lol. Looks like lake wins.

[swayray]

I have a video up as well. According to my friends, My best time was a 1:32.3



you car sounds so good... you look pretty good out there for your first time out...


don't be hesitant to meet every person... I usually meet the nicest people in events like this than anywhere else... did you only drive the Saturday event?

Besides my tools, I too only has one set of wheels which is what I drove up there with and drove home with... which is also the same set i drive on everyday to and from work....


Sorry paul, I was not sure how much power you were pushing, driftspeed told me it was around 400hp when they tuned it but i just remembered now that you did drop the boost to keep her straight.. :) Your driving skill makes you look like you were pushing 400+hp... lol...

[xpertsnowcarver]

Thanks. Yes, I only attended Saturday. By the time the day was over, I wanted to attend Sunday, but I ran out of money.

I'll have to dedicate myself to meet everyone at the next event, which I look forward to participating in.

[Paul2x]

lol np i was just messin.

Koji was the man and did pull 403hp on his dyno and 378 tq at 1.25 but never got around to it at the track. Tried 1.0 even and that still was tough to handle on corner exits. Would have been nice to have a scramble button for the strights though =)

lol my bad thats what i ment =).

Sweet build though. I'll be sure to swing by next time I see you out. :bigok:

[turbocrazy07]

I gotta agree with xpertsnowcarver, I should have gone around to meet some people but was a little shy with it being my first track day and feeling like a noob watching people and their trailers. Definitely will have to do otherwise next time, met Tom tho- super chill guy.

[Massimo Power]

It was a very very fun day... glad i couold attend...

I think ill be in the market for an s chassis soon... :)

whoa . watching joels video the s-turn after the back straight was resurfaced?
thats good. their was a scary hole there

[Massimo Power]

Yes zir..

The name Chris Billedo sounds familiar...

Not a bad time for street tires huh... :)

R comps and ur going down Paul... maybe if a lose a little weight too >:hyper:

[Massimo Power]

http://www.worlddriftseries.com/ddtimeattack/29.jpg

Teehee i found me!.. God that pic is awesome...

But i cant wait to join the S-Chassis crowd.. that will definetly be fun. Looks like you guys had a blast out there..

Wow, looks awesome. Wish I would of had cash that day.

yes! i was that little red civic that beat you at adams! haha :p:p:p

I also ran that willow springs event with you with redline in may!

how are you bro?! i forgot your name :(

[DJPimpFlex]

I have a video up as well. According to my friends, My best time was a 1:32.3

You really need to work on your shifting and rev matching imo. Thats probably why you were having clutch issues.

Edit: roll your fenders too

LOL...

Whats up man...

My name is Mauricio.. and yea i remember you now..

Ive been good just hangin out sellin parts and workin on cars as usual. Getting ready for next year as well. My 3yr old tires have had about enough... need to get in the game and buy some new tires, upgrade my suspension and work a little on weight reduction n see what happens..

With the help of some sponsors anything is possible.. :)

How bout yourself?

im doing great also, the civic is going to get a complete new set up. its stock at the moment, just seeing what other companies can do for me. im actually building a 240 at the moment but its not going to well.

[xpertsnowcarver]

You really need to work on your shifting and rev matching imo. Thats probably why you were having clutch issues.

Edit: roll your fenders too

Fenders are rolled. I raised the car and purchased stiffer sway bars to increase the spring rate to avoid rubbing the fender or top of the wheel-well, but I still have a considerable amount of roll. I may replace the front springs for 9kg springs.
Clutch is made of Kevlar. Don't really care about it over heating or glazing. I was intentionally shifting quickly just to get the quickest lap time I could. I'll be getting a carbon clutch kit soon.

I value your input; thank you. :)

[junkyiv]

That hole is still there. I dropped a tire into it 2nd to last session on Sunday. OOPS! I'm really glad
to hear that you all had a good time. That's really what its all about. Perhaps if the interest keeps up
we can do more events in 2010. What say you all!?

You made a hole on the track Tom??? Eh, no wonder I couldn't get a faster lap time! hahaha j/k =P

I 2nd the notion of doing more grip events- Maybe make it a semi-annual thang with one in the Spring and the other in the fall.

Oh and wanted to thank Driftday and Naoki and of course, you Tom for putting on the event! Was sooo much fun and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

I have this desire to go faster at SOW because of Mr. Johnson posting a 1:30 KA time, haha. Something to look up to and shoot for. =)

[racepar1]

That is what I was thinking also . I was gonna ask if the said presures were hot or cold?? Just to be clear before I say something.

Really all this talk about cold pressures is absolutely meaningless. It's all about hot pressures. I'm going to have to start recording hot tire pressure and temperature readings from now on to get where I want to go.

Teehee i found me!..

That was kinda cute! LOL! :p

Perhaps if the interest keeps up
we can do more events in 2010. What say you all!?

I will kill you and Naoki in the face if you guys don't keep this up... One of these times I'll actually make it out, I promise.

:axe:

:bigok:

[koukikat180sx]

Thank you everyone who came out to support and drive this event. :)

Maybe we're going to look into having a buttonwillow event next year!

Special thanks to Vanessa for coming out, kicking ass and representing girl drivers. :D

AWW consider my heart melted!!! I have been absolutely on cloud 9 after this event.

A buttonwillow event would be SO much fun! I will go to every one of these events with you guys, please have more!

I tried to upload my vid on youtube but I think I have it encoded in a wrong format or something since it's getting errors halfway through :( I noticed how bad I need to improve on my lines lol Hopefully I can show you all real soon.

[Giebs]

reading all these posts, its clear that i missed out. i made it to the first one and had a blast. i will for sure be at the next one. i will be on the track on the the 13th for a different event though, but i dont think there will be nearly as many s-chassis.

[junkyiv]

I will kill you and Naoki in the face if you guys don't keep this up....
:bigok:

NOT IN THE FACE!!!!!! LoL

Seriously all of your responses are indicative of the kind of interest we need to keep up.
These events are absolutely dependant upon entries so be sure to keep your eyes on the
forums and spread the word when you see our events posted. We'll be working on future
events in the upcoming weeks/months so don't forget to check in. We love this as much
as you! And it was great to finally meet some of you face to face. I hope to see you all
again soon and meet more of you.

[driftsilvias13]

I miss my Lotus... definitely will get another one. Looks like I missed out big time!

I'm talking about corner entry and decelleraion. Under brakeing you don't heel toe downshift, and you acually lock up the rear wheels slipping the clutch. You need to rev match when down shifting. this unsettled the car and puts wear on the clutch and drive train. Just an observation

[funes]

really cute pics... that black s13 w/ the autech swap seems to be strong...

Oh! Right right, I clearly see what you're saying. Yes, I do need to work on that. I was actually trying to heel toe, but I'll admit I'm no pro at it. This is why we need more grip events, so I may practice.
