06 Shootout Smack Talkin

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Alright.....this thread is for people going (or planning on going) to the shootout. Call someone out that you want to race and beat this year. Trash talkin welcome, but follow forum rules. Mabye we can shake some peoples leaves a little bit.

My call out: KEN SEEGERS
YOURE MINE!!! Sorry bud, but ill be the one dominating MOD 1 this year. :D
Bring it.

[TwoToneThunder]

i thought u were trying really hard to sell it???

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Im too emotionally attached to my baby. I can never sell it. But anyways, BACK TO THE SMACK! :eek:

[SCme94]

I want to challenge Nettlesd to a race. He can't use his bottle though;)

[VicRattlehead]

I want to challenge Nettlesd to a race. He can't use his bottle though;)

ill challenge nettlesd too, and while im at it, Tony, DaveN, MICAH, Kurt, and DaveD.

Pro .400 tree headsup.

[Duffy Floyd]

I'm not calling anyone out. I hope to make the event though and will be keeping a list of all the "stuff" that gets broken though!!!!!!:)

[Pablo94SC]

I'm calling out all of Mod 1.

[Jeremy_K]

I'll call anyone out to have the biggest oil spot under the car contest!

[Ira R.]

I'll call anyone out to have the biggest oil spot under the car contest!
Ahhhh man, I wasn't going to bring that car!! :p

Ira

[Jason Wild]

I'm going to call out anyone in MOD 1 since that looks like it will be my class.
Maybe I should add the NOS this year.:confused:

[XR7 Dave]

I don't know if I will show up because I don't have any competition. There doesn't seem to be any one with a 5spd who can hang with the SpArksTer, yO!

[fast Ed]

I'm going to call out Neibert for a time trial pass. Maybe he can get by me without having to blow his head gasket this time. Wait, he still ran a quicker e.t. than I did on that run. :p :D


Who's running Street Stock this year? Better practice your reaction times at the local track, you have last year's treemaster running in your class. ;)



cheers
Ed N.

[Jason Wild]

Who's running Street Stock this year?


Must be nice to be still in street stock I'm going to be well pass that class soon if not allready. :p

[racecougar]

All I have to say is that anyone running in the bracket class better start practicing. ;) The DOHC 90 XR7 should be pretty consistent.

-Rod

[CMac89]

Well, I can't talk smack because I have my car in a bad position. I have the mods to go 12's, but not enough to keep up with the rest of the guys in Mod2. I may have to detune my car or just launch it in 2nd gear and move to Mod1.

I am king of Sandbag!!!!!

But who knows. I might get lucky, but yet not so lucky to have a car that's slow for its mods.

[xThunderbirdSCx]

I'm calling out all of Mod 1.

Thats just dumb. Anyone entering mod 1 is technically calling out everyone in mod 1.

Cmon guys, start a little bench racing with someone close to you in times. mabye we can ge some bets goin ;) .

Ken S is going down....down, down, down
Ken S is going down....down, down, down :D

Oh....and any blue SCs are also goin down

[Pablo94SC]

*yawn* Considering I'm probably going to be the only person in Mod1 with a stock M90 on his car, I don't see calling out Mod1 dumb at all, especially when I take the class. :cool:

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Awww.....heeeeyyyyyyle no! Thems fighting words.

Better be ready to be snapping near perfect lights and run 13.2's all day to steal it away from me. :cool:

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Dave D vs Kevin L

It may be an unspoken fact, but when these two catch eyes in the stanging lane, we all know its on. My guess: people will drop everything theyre doing at the time when these two line up next to each other to see what happens.

[VicRattlehead]

Awww.....heeeeyyyyyyle no! Thems fighting words.

Better be ready to be snapping near perfect lights and run 13.2's all day to steal it away from me. :cool:

who builds a v6 anyway thats just crazy:confused: :confused: :D bring yer car and run vs a real THUNDERbird, mine!

[XR7 Dave]

*yawn* Considering I'm probably going to be the only person in Mod1 with a stock M90 on his car, I don't see calling out Mod1 dumb at all, especially when I take the class. :cool:

Actually you have another thing coming there bud. ;) I have a fighter with an early style M90, no coated rotors and no MP modifications that is traction away from literally breaking out of Mod 1. Bring it on if you got it. :D

[Pablo94SC]

Actually you have another thing coming there bud. ;) I have a fighter with an early style M90, no coated rotors and no MP modifications that is traction away from literally breaking out of Mod 1. Bring it on if you got it. :D

So how much weight did you remove to get it to go that quick... or are you on the bottle? *whistles* :D

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Actually you have another thing coming there bud. ;) I have a fighter with an early style M90, no coated rotors and no MP modifications that is traction away from literally breaking out of Mod 1. Bring it on if you got it. :D

Yea well ive got....umm...ive got....wait, what do i have? :cool::p

By May im hoping to have gotten my finances in order, have an S-Port @ 20%, MP plenum, Alcohol injection, and some ET Streets.

Then yall'll have sumptin ta worry bout.

[XR7 Dave]

So how much weight did you remove to get it to go that quick... or are you on the bottle? *whistles* :D

Not my car, but someone I've helped. Nothing that's not totally legal in Mod 1. Car is full weight and will remain so. All I'm saying is that owning Mod 1 will mean being able to run consistent 13.20's and there will be a motley variety of ways to do so. I think the best challenge for Mod 1 is to find the most unique way of running the index. We will really be looking for the most surprising methods people come up with. It should be lots of fun.

Well stock M90 is definitely one way to go. If I do everything right, I'll even be running 13.20s on street tires.

PS: Don't be talkin' smack unless you're the one bringing it. Proxy smack talking is not permitted.

[David Neibert]

ill challenge nettlesd too, and while im at it, Tony, DaveN, MICAH, Kurt, and DaveD.

Pro .400 tree headsup.

Okay Keith...I'll spot you 2 tenths on the starting line and still catch you by the 1/8 mile, and I'll do it with the v6 car.

David

[Pablo94SC]

David

I got $10 on Unkle Dave. All bets are off his car's broken and unable to the attend the shootout.

[Thunder427]

i might be bringing a secret weapon.

i think i might tow the SC in with the Ranch. I need a car trailor though.

or maybe ill make the SC tow the ranchero ;)

[MakoSC]

[CMac89]

That's it. A stock late model blower's going on my car.

I might even put sand and water in the gear drive instead of oil.:)

[pro street rich]

I will bring something to play with if you let me......HEHEEEEE.......Rich

[pro street rich]

:D Are there any out there??????:eek: that want to play??????..........Rich

[David Neibert]

Rich,

So long as it's in an MN12 body it's invited. I think this is going to be the year to see some seriously fast cars at the Shootout. I wouldn't miss it for anything.

David

[XR7 Dave]

:D Are there any out there??????:eek: that want to play??????..........Rich

There's a red one with your name on it. That is if you can handle the white one first. I got your match-up's right here. :D

[CMac89]

Rich,

I can't even make a blast down the ole strip for some entertainment in a 3rd gen TA?

[XR7 Dave]

Um......no.

[CMac89]

*sigh*...Fine

Was kiddin anyway.:)

[Ira R.]

It will be a S.C. body, that is for sure...
Heres one to ponder, I got the tape out the other day and had the hood open on a 06 Fusion... Guess what?? there is room for some added goodies....Now to see if I can get all the parts to do the swap.....anyone ready for a rear wheel drive Fusion with some rumble from it???........Rich

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

Rich,

Too much time on your hands!

[MakoSC]

You are so going down. :cool:

Yeah YEah
put up first 2 round of drinks on it?
Should be good to SC-YA again!!!

Don't go sullying your reputation now!!!!

[Pablo94SC]

....and then there's the complete unknown that's only a tune and a little practice away from owning that index!

Ira

Don't think so Ira. You're going down like the rest of 'em. :cool:

We should meet up sometime and hang out.

I don't know, you TBU guys are scary! :D I guess it would okay if I get the girls out of the house first. ;) Are you bringing Damon for comic relief?? :p

Ira

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

Pablo aint going anywhere! (I plan on giving him advice to go slower :O))

my 95 4.6 PI SC needs at least one car it can beat :O)

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

I'm going to let Pablo badmouth me at the shootout..Make fun of all my blown up cars and piles of car parts strew about my house...Then when he rips a magical 14.9 he can yell at me for telling him to buy this part or that :O)

[Pablo94SC]

Talk all the smack you want Vic. You're just jealous that your big, bad V8 can't keep up with our little V6 engine.



So that's how it's going to be, huh Damon? I guess I'm going to have to do it on my own. I'm not gonna let ol' smokey beat me. :p

BTW, it was the magical 15.2, not 14.9. :D

[David Neibert]

Damon,

You have plenty of time to get off your kiester and fix at least one of those cars.....skip Carlisle if you have to, but don't miss another Shootout.

David

[Ira R.]

It's not as if he can't bum a ride with Pablo!! :eek:

[Rick Mink]

Hey Pablo, I'd be leary of anyone in Queens talking about goin down..lol
oh, and uh Sparkster, you just might be barking up the wrong tree if I get get everything dialied in on my 5 speed 4.2.

THis year is gonna be lotsa fun.

Rick


p.s. no detuning me before this race, 'k?

[CMac89]

Calling out anybody that has any stock exhaust pieces on their cars. I am bringing a portable sawzall and I'ma fix that right quick.

[the-big-e]

Will you still be able to run street class? :D

If 13.9 won the street class last year, then I might have something for ya......

[quick35th]

The way things are looking right now is I probably wont have an SC at the event this year so I am not going to call anyone out. What it looks like is I am going to be at Heartland Park in Topeka, KS for The Tire Rack Solo National Championships 9/26/2006 - 9/29/2006. I'll probably just leave Topeka that night and drive straight to the Shootout. Talk about sleep deporvation (sp) tour. Maybe I'll see some of you guys on the road somewhere. More info on the Solo II Nationals can be found here: http://www.scca.com/Event/Event.asp?Ref=06-solo-nats .

Shane

[Ken Seegers]

Well.....seeing my name was mentioned in the beginning.....Just bring it!!!!:cool:

Once I get done the 4 unit renovation, I can start on my car. I am not worried. Maple Grove does not open until April and I have all summer long to get dailed in!


Pablo,
Since I know you will show up, throw Damon in the trunk and surprise David N. that Damon actually exists.:D


Later
Ken (Mod 1 King) Seegers

[CMac89]

Will you still be able to run street class? :D

If 13.9 won the street class last year, then I might have something for ya......
No my car won't be eligible for Street Stock.

[XR7inWI]

We all know that Damon and Dave D can not exist in the same place at the same time. They are alter egos of the same person and therefor can never meet face to face.

As for callin anybody out or smack talkin.... hmmmmm... I doubt I have much room for smack talkin. Not even sure my car is or will be worthy of racing in the first place. BUT... I guess I got some time to change all that. Just need to come up with the $$$ to make it happen.

[CMac89]

Since I know you will show up, throw Damon in the trunk and surprise David N. that Damon actually exists.:D
Damon who?:confused:

[Slysc]

I don't know if I will show up because I don't have any competition. There doesn't seem to be any one with a 5spd who can hang with the SpArksTer, yO!

Note to self.....make sure Dave has a reason to come to the shootout this year.

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Ken (Mod 1 King) Seegers

No no ken. Theres a Q in queen.

[CMac89]

No no ken. Theres a Q in queen.
No Bill. There's a "P" in Princess. And also in Peon.

[the-big-e]

We all know that Damon and Dave D can not exist in the same place at the same time. They are alter egos of the same person and therefor can never meet face to face.
That would be a paradox....

Does one of them have a go'tee...

All alter egos have them....:D

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

Youuu gguuuuuyysssss.

If I can get work off maybe I'll show up. It really isnt that easy for me though to get days off. Ask Paul how often he actually sees me at home.

Anyone want to rebuild my 4.6 Bird motor? :O) Dammed if I have the time..The SC will be on hold however untill the AR is back in my possesion. By then Dave will have the larger AR kit out and it just wont even be fun anymore:(.

And Dave and I had coexisted in the past...I believe at Carlisle he was avoiding being tboned in go carts.....If I recall correctly....Then again Fast Ed was doing the same.........But there is always a next time.....Always a next tiimmeeeee...........

[EECDOC]

Way to early for some of this smack talk. It's 8 months till it's time to put up or shut up. I really hope all of the talkers cars can make it come shoot out time. I have penciled the event in at this time. My car is apart right now, so I know better than to run my mouth. It will be back together for my frist event in April, but October is a long way off. I hope all of us can attend. I had a blast at the 04 event, and any excuse for me to go back home to Ohio works for me. Looking forward to running with the outlaw V8 guys. Like Coy and I said back in 04 at Norwalk, " we're here to run". Lets rock!!!!!!!!!

David N. hope you have the turbo car back and healthy, but you need to put a rollbar in it. I hated it too but it's worth it.

Pro street Rich, I really enjoyed meeting you in 04, I hope the big block car can make it this year.

Randy & Connie Baker, loved meeting and tipping a few drinks with you ex bikers! Hope you make it. Randy you are the best at lining a car up in the waterbox and the starting line!

Dave D. thanks for making the V8's welcome!

Hope to see you all there.

Mike.............:cool:

Mike,

Glad to hear your planning to attend this year. At this point I'm not planning to bring the turbo car unless my 91 is broken. Like you said... 8 months is a long way off and a lot can happen between now and then.

David

[VicRattlehead]

Great to hear you plan on coming! Had a lot of fun at the '05 Summer Blast and I got some great insight and ideas just hanging out that weekend. And thanks for the referral to Mustang Magic. Shame they hate 3.8 engines..... :eek: They had some .... interesting... hellos for you though ;)

Ira

[xThunderbirdSCx]

So, we havin a burnout contest or what? :cool:

[xThunderbirdSCx]

No Bill. There's a "P" in Princess. And also in Peon.

Ouch....not original, but still hurts the same.... :(

If that is a call out, bring it. But i get a 2 second head start :D

[Slysc]

So, we havin a burnout contest or what? :cool:

How close is the nearest Walmart to the track?

[tim]

Dalke shifts like an old lady! I wil hands down have the fastest car with a stock m90 at the shootout! Not bragging fact. Look for a low 12 to high 11. Thats right I said it. v8 cars my butt!:D Bring it on!!

[Nettlesd]

I want to challenge Nettlesd to a race. He can't use his bottle though;)

Huh, you want to race the Sable? Ok, but I think the Sable only knows how to race in reverse.

[VicRattlehead]

Thats right I said it. v8 cars my butt!:D Bring it on!!

oh boy here we go

[Kurt K]

Dalke shifts like an old lady!
I'm sorry, but Micah holds that title :D

[coolhand]

Well, I might have the only car at this shootout that will be timed with an hourglass, but, I plan on owning the Bracket Class. As long as EdN isnt in the next lane intimidating me, I will be OK. I really would like to break the 16 barrier though:o

[Kevin Leitem]

How close is the nearest Walmart to the track?
how close is the nearest windshield installation place?:)

[19TbirdSC91]

how close is the nearest windshield installation place?:)

oh snap...better check those hood pins bill!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
mwahahahaha ;)

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

hehe heh hehehehehe thats funny

[xThunderbirdSCx]

how close is the nearest windshield installation place?

Oh snap! Ok ok, you got me.

Too-shay!

[David Neibert]

Oh snap! Ok ok, you got me.

Too-shay!

Bill...I think that was directed towards Dan Sly, because he has broken his windsheild at the last two Shootouts, because he forgot to put the hood pins back in.

David

[xThunderbirdSCx]

Oh....thats right. I heard about that. 6 times was it? :D

Oh well...im one to talk, i couldnt even figure out how to install some UD pulleys.

But dont you all worry, ill be ready for the shootout in no time.

Im training under one of the best. But its my secret. ;)

So is there a legal drinking age at the shootout?? :D :p

[RedSCSpeedster]

i think dan sly needs too have a windeshieid installation guy on hand at all times for the shoot out, or i shound stay home, every time i have gone hes lost a windeshield, but 04 shoot out i was stock 05 shootout was mod 1, and i have a few more rabbits too pull out of my hat for 06, so i hop i have more then one car to race this year, i hate to see every one i race this year brack soming, thats just on way to get 2 place. and i dont plan to miss this years event

[MakoSC]

race you race?
when?
Don't look like you race much in these last shootout pics:confused:

[xThunderbirdSCx]

ouch...:D

You gonna take that?

[RedSCSpeedster]

like i said its asy to get 2 place when your the only one that dose not brake things axls, trans, extr , hoo needs race to race when all you need to do is keep it together, and that was not my car i was under

[19TbirdSC91]

Bill...I think that was directed towards Dan Sly, because he has broken his windsheild at the last two Shootouts, because he forgot to put the hood pins back in.

David

wow...i didnt know that about dan sly, since im pretty new around here, so it was to bill, maybe they should just go back to the traditional latch, and not have to worry about it eh?:rolleyes: ;)

[quick35th]

wow...i didnt know that about dan sly, since im pretty new around here, so it was to bill, maybe they should just go back to the traditional latch, and not have to worry about it eh?:rolleyes: ;)

But see that would be to easy :rolleyes: :p :D

Actually with some aftermarket hoods, particulary the Cobra R hood, you have to do alot of work to make the factory latch work so most poeople just would rather not go to all the trouble and just put hood pins in instead.

Shane

[RedSCSpeedster]

i have seen the stock hood lachs let go too on the fibber glass hood s all so. i have a hood that is badly damaged do to a blow off.

[19TbirdSC91]

But see that would be to easy :rolleyes: :p :D

Shane

well then maybe they shouldnt get aftermarket hoods then :rolleyes:
haha...jp guys, if that happened to me, i wouldn't tell anyone, lol...would be too embarassed;)

[Slysc]

It's hard to keep something like that a secret when you are at the shootout.
The first time it was on the trailer and I didn't know until I heard the hood smash the windshield and looked in the rearview mirror. Last year was just mindless. I had just changed the EEC file and wanted to see how it was running before I put it on the dyno so I hopped in and started down the road with my hoodpins in my pocket. My hood struts are broke off from the first time it happened so the hood stays down until you get going about 40 mph then SURPRISE!!!
My FMIC mount is in the place where the latch was. I just need Chris Walker to follow me around and remind me to put my hoodpins in or better yet, this year maybe I'll just keep my hood shut.:rolleyes:

[Kurt K]

Dan, I just noticed your title. I think you've got a good shot at beating me this year....but I've thought that the last 2 years :rolleyes:

[RedSCSpeedster]

sounds like im gowing to have to paint a confederate flag on the roof and a 01 on the door just to keep up ha haa

[oldschoolmuscle]

sounds like im gowing to have to paint a confederate flag on the roof and a 01 on the door just to keep up ha haa



thats what i would do

[tim]

Well this week I am going to order my lightweight racing seats from Summit. Hope its warm at the shootout cause I keep looking at the heater and all that duct work, to pull or not to pull thats the question. Radio and speakers are comming out this weekend if its not to cold. I dont have all the big power you guys have so its serious weight reduction time. I may be going way out on a limb but I am seriously shooting to get into the 11s.:eek: Laughing gas here I come. If I make 300 on the motor and use 100 hp. of nitrous, with a car as light as mine is going to be 11.70? Is it wrong who cares!:eek: Am I normal? please!!

[Kevin Leitem]

yank the heater!! if it gets cold get a 12 volt cigarette lighter heater. it doesn't matter how you get it fast. fast is fast.

[tim]

Kevin, I hear you, People keep telling me this only weighs 10 pounds or that only weighs 15 lbs why bother. I guess my answer is it all adds up. I dont know how light I can get my car? The goal is to get into the 11 second bracket. I dont want to wreck the interior . If I do thih right then It should still look nice on the inside.:D

[xThunderbirdSCx]

But make sure that you check up on the rules of what is required in your planned bracket or not. Dont wanna yank the heater to find out you ahve to have it in your class.

If you are going for a race car yank all you want. There is that fine line between what will I get for what I give up. At our weight and stock hp you may get a tenth for every 100lbs shed. The seats are a great way to reduce weight as they are heavy thats a good move. AC, Power steering, hood also can get you soem weight off as well as less drag on the motor and better airflow to radiator. Someone like Kevin probably knows exactly what youll lose for what you remove. Disconnecting the front sway bar should give you better weight transfer , removing it less weight and better weight transfer. I couldnt imagine doing that to my Sc..But I guess there is a potential to .5 seconds of your time if you strip it down. Speaking of which soem drag wheels would help greatly as well.

For what I've seen every 10lb's of rotating weight is about 100 pounds of static weight. Shoot for lighter rotating weight too.

yank the heater!! if it gets cold get a 12 volt cigarette lighter heater. it doesn't matter how you get it fast. fast is fast.

Kevin , Tim blows enough hot air when he is talking about his SC Bird.
He do's not need a heater in his car. As long as he is talking & driving.
:p :D

The reason they call Chicago,Il. the WINDY CITY.
Is because Tim lives on the north-west side of Chicago.
The direction the wind comes from to hit the city.
Then you got Pro-Street Rich, he lives just up the road from Tim.
So now you know how Chicago got its nickname. :)

ha.. yehknow in my last bird the heatercore was shot, it hink.. or it could abeent he constant disappearing coolant ehh HG's... anyways, when my heat didnt work last winter when it was fre4ezing, I decided it was cheaper to buy a 2nd coat then to fix the heat...i looked everywhere for a 12v heater and everybody said they dont exist.. then the other day i saw some nice ones online.. man i wish I knew then it sucked driving to school in the mornings with a blanket on

Well GOLLY MILLER..Now we know why your headgaskets went. You were probably low on antifreeze. When a heater core goes it generally leaks as in your car....When no heat comes out that means your probably low on fluid. Now if the fan for your heat didnt work..Now thats a different story .

Ok back to smack talking:O)
