It's in the industrial area.

Take deerfoot south to barlow trail. Turn right at 114th ave (beside Deerfoot Casino). Drive down the road for about 3km to 68th st. You'll see it on our right. Turn right on 68th, and enter the parking lot on your left.

Spectators are $5, and racers are $25 for the night.

If you're racing, I would suggest you bring a helmet. They do lend them out, but there's usually so many people on the first night. they run out, and it becomes mayhem. I'll bring both my helmets.

Maybe i will have to make the trip up and see what my car can do. Or what it can brake!
How do they run races at the track? 2 qualifying and then knockout? or is it just a test n tune setup?

it's a "pay your $25, and race as much as you want"

Everyone who wants to race lines up, then they will pull cars off in pairs, and let them go down the track. At the end, you get a timeslip. This repeats until the track closes.

IIRC, Gates open at 5, tech starts at 6, racing starts at 7, tracks keeps running until about 11.

I might check it out. I'll see if I can beat my 14.7 @ 105.
launch much ;)

I was doing 13.6@103 last year on street tires. You should be able to break 13s easily with that trap speed, assuming you can get a good start. What are you running for tires in the back?


I just picked up my TT fuel pump, and drag slicks this afternoon. gotta get my car working for friday!

I think i plans of coming to the track this friday are shot!
My trany did not survive 10 psi and 6000rpm from the t78.
Probably have to have the tranny rebuilt and maybe the diff while im at it.
It's definentlly an internal problem, may also be a clutch issue.

Hope those tires do the trick for ya.

holy shit. That was fast.

What's the tranny doing now?

I got a thread about it in the 1j tech section. basicaly the pedal didnt feel right and then i heard some noises. clutch engages and disengages fine and the pedal is back to normal. but when u press it down the first 1-2 inches u can hear and feel a grind, with the car not in gear, and the vacuum gauge goes from -10 to -5 and my car stalls. i just parked it and wasnt gona spend time lookin into it today. but the external components all apeared good.
