Who is going? I'll sure as hell be there again!

http://highboostforum.com/forum/showthread.php/28954-21st-ANNUAL-DSM-EVO-SHOOTOUT

Already marked down on my calendar.

Will be there come hell or high water.

I am going to do my best to make it out to this one! I am going to have to spy on Salomon and see if I can steal any of his fancy techniques he uses in the autocross.

sandra and i are going. with hopfully 2 talons.

I'll also be there come hell or high water! even if i'm running on 2 cylinders and three wheels

Sounds about how I was running at last year's ('11) SO...amongst other issues.



Also, for next year's SO. No writing on my windows by anyone unless you're a track marshal. Spent way too many hours cleaning that crap off and it stained the black outer window paneling and more. The red stuff was the worst...the white wasn't too bad but it also stained wherever somebody accidentally missed the window.

I can't wait

I'll be there for sure, I was really depressed about missing this years

So you plan on getting one of those can-am roadsters? I held you higher then this Mike.... Tisk tisk...

The event is marked and I want to be there! But even more so, I hope I'm employed an on OJT somewhere at that time....

I've got vacation to burn.. I'll be there again! dsm or lancer... hmm..

I might even try to make it out with the wife for this one, since we can't ever get a decent DSM meet going in Canada. I got a lot of vacation to burn too Not sure if I should represent in the Mighty DSM or Ralliart. Hmmm....

It's the DSM/EVO Shootout..not the DSM/EVO/RalliArt Shootout

Yeah Reza and Eric... bring your DSMs. There should be no question about it

Nah I'm gonna come in my Ralliart, since I am just coming to watch

But since it is the DSM shootout, I guess everyone here with their DSM's will be competing............

NOT.......

Thought so

everyone did last year... well except for ryan . and there are many ralliarts too.

Rezzzza!!!

C'mon Man. Bring the DSM and compete. We always go with tons of spare, CAA membership and a few bring along a Trailor.

Ghislain

I'll try my best Maybe if I can convince Helder to bring his DSM, truck and trailor I'll make it. Not that I want my car to break, but I'd rather be prepared for such a thing being we're so far from home.

Will CAA tow your car from Ohio to Ontario anyways?

Looks like you didn't read the rules:

Quote:
"ECM TUNING sponsored-MAX EFFORT
-All DSM's, Ralliarts or other Mitsubishi powered shootout legal vehicles will compete in DSM."

"DSM/EVO SHOOTOUT DRAG RACES:
-Any Mitsubishi powered vehicle can run at the shootout as long as it has either the original engine in the car (Genesis Coupe, 420A, 1.8liter Mitsu, 4B11T, Stealth-3000GT, 3 liter Mitsu V6 etc.) or is powered by any of these Mitsu engines. Cars NOT powered by a 4G63 or 4B11T MUST run in either Bracket 1 or Bracket 2."

200Ks at the time. We are just about 800 km from Norwalk so it would take about 4 "cards" to bring one car back.

Ghislain

were thinking of either driving both cars and lending the trailer out. or we will drive one car and haul the other behind the truck. if we drive the truck we will be leaving the night before and taking our time. Its too hard on gas and the truck to keep up with jamie in his truck.

FAK; few years back Scott trailored his car. We wuz driving 130/140 for most of the trip... I never asked him how much it costed. Maybe I should.

Ghislain

Ahaha...you know I'm just yanking your chain.

I've seen plenty of RalliArts...I'm still itching to see your beast of a car! Maybe I'll have to stop by Ajax on one of my many trips out to Belleville and back.

As for your comment about competing, I brought home a trophy last year and wasn't too far off one this year

I will go again but this time I am taking Monday off. Sounds like i missed most of the fun on Sun since i had to leave early. I am looking into renting a trailer for next time. It was way too many kms for my car. Plus i dont want to risk breaking something while i am 800 kms from home

I'm about 1300km away, I'd love to run the car but I've chickened out every time so far. My friend is a CAA tow truck driver and he told me they charge $2/km after what CAA covers, so that's about $2200 to tow the car back. Would be far cheaper to hire a transport truck to haul the car back.

I'd love to find a 2 car trailer to bring my DSM and my friends Evo behind my truck but that's a lot of investment for a once a year thing, not to mention the minimum of $500 of diesel it would take.

We always drive together and a few guys trailor their car. That allows for a few option in case one guy breaks.

Aside from bringing a busted car on a trailor we can always use 4/5 CAA membership to bring a car back.

The DSM Quebec also trailor a few vehicles.

The experience is defenately worth it so "lift up your skirt" and come along.

Ghislain

i'm really hoping to make it for this one...

Don't hope, just come along!!!

Ghislain

i was going to this year but i got "in poo" at work, remember? when i say i hope i can make it, i mean i'm planning on it, but hope i don't frack it up for myself

You be just do'n fine!!!

If i go next year i will trailer the car. That way i can make a few passes without the fear or breaking. I think u-haul rents car trailers.

I dont know how much it is or if i could get a lowered car on it but i will be looking into it for sure! It was a great time with a great bunch of guys.

Tim, a lowered car will definitely go on it. I have found it easiest to run the tow vehicle's rear tires up on car ramps to lower the back of the trailer. I also use 2X10's to extend the ramps further.

i donno... i watched ryans budy with a lowered audi drive off a uhaul car hauler and took out his fuel line on a peice of steel that giudes the tires.

what are you gonna haul the trailer with?

Is your car an auto?

Tim it can be done but uhaul dosent have winches on there car haulers.. so you have to drive it up.. Just have someone watch your cleanances so you dont bottom out.

BTW dont listen to anything Jamies says about hauling a car on a trailer! Hes not very good at it!!

lol.

I used to put ramps under the rear tires of the truck to get my cars on my trailer of they were too low.

Thanks Jay!
Notice I didn't give any advice about strapping it down. Just loading.

That's great advice anyway. I was contemplating buying a cheap used trailer or renting one for the SO this coming season. Still weighing the need VS. want.

a trailer is a need. i biult my car hauler into a utility trailer with sides. they come off when i need to haul a car.

Not a bad idea Jay.

Insurance is easier on a utility trailer then a car hauler.. specially if own a business.

is there a webpage of the rules for the SO? I see in other threads a few of you talking about NHRA rules and wondering if any of it applies to the SO?
