Default Bandimere Track Day by Boulder Nissan - 04/07/2012

Okay guys,
I contacted Larry at Bandimere and secured a track day!!! The date is set for Saturday April 7th. This is Easter weekend but it is the only Saturday that I could find that worked before the season "starts". The make up day if necessary is Friday April 20th. The cost will be the same as Steve's day at $80 a car. I have decided to change a few things and am open to feedback. The plan is to cap the paricipants at 40. With a bit of wiggle room up to 50 participants. We will also be running a dedicated slick/drag radial lane.

All NHRA rules will apply. The gates will open at 7:30 AM. And the track will go hot @9:30-10:00 depending on the weather. I need to confirm when the track closes. Initially Larry stated that the track would close @3PM. But Steve said he thought his events ran until @4PM. Assuming it is 4PM I was thinking of running the dedicated lanes until @2:30 and then opening both lanes up to street tire cars for the remaing hour and a half if street tire individuals would like to run eachother.

I am sure I am missing some info for everyone being that this is the first time I have organized an event at Bandimere. Please let me know what other questions you have.

In summary;

Where: Bandimere Speedway

When: April 7th (make up day if needed is scheduled for Friday April 20th)

Time: gates open at 7:30 AM

Participants: 40 allowed

Payment: $80 via Pay Pal; BOULDERNISSANMOTORSPORTS@Yahoo.com (please provide your Car details, name and phone number with ref; Bandimere)

Looking forward to seeing everyone there,
Jason

Yea turned out great except for me had few problems with the car and I got there late. But finally at the end of the day I got a decent run. 11.1@127 with a 1.77 60ft. I am sure I can get a 10.9 with a little more practice and more seat time.

I didn't get to see other people's runs and didn't meet a lot of people. I hated that because that's the fun part about those events is meeting new people and talk cars and what's not.

Woa...11.1, that is pretty good...I looked at your garage and your car is stock, with only headers and and intake? Were your running slicks or drag radials?

oh no its a built 441ci LS7 with bolt-ons and nitrous. of course I didnt spray on those runs. I had a new fuel system installed the day before the track day. I couldnt tune the car before the event (I picked up the car at almost 1am, 7 hours before the event LOL)

so there is some more power left in the table and also I was seeing like 2deg of knock in third and 4th so I am sure it was pulling timing. too bad I dont have the logs for those runs as it would be nice to know what was going on exactly. I was having problems with my HP tuners

I was running 18" Hoosier Drag Radials.

couple of quick pics.





I will have some more and also some vids posted in couple of days. dont have time to edit and upload them now.

Yea I think I did my first run at around ~12:30 so you probably missed it. my best was at around 3:15 or so. need to check the slip. but it was toward the end of the day. I still need to practice. this was the perfect time to do so but my stupid belt broke and had to leave and get a new one and install it. oh well........
