Anybody up for a group run at Moroso again?

[Blackmobile]

I was wondering if anybody was up for another night of test & tune:burnout:
in the near future? I personally have realized my foot has gotten a bit heavier around town, and Moroso seems to be a good way to vent. I know that there have been a lot of upgrades to many members MM recently, and I figure this could be a good opportunity to test them out before Marauderville IV:banana2: .

[ghost03]

Im interested in it. The only thing is that the weather is hot and muggy and the humidity sucks. The cars wont run too well but Im still down for a Moroso night.

[Cobra25]

I hold a interest in it too. I only went to the track once and feel I could do alot better than last time I went. Becides I need the practice for Marauderville.

I say we all go on Friday Aug.4. If the weather Holds. What time does the track open? Also Note : You can rent a helmet at the Track if you need one.

[magindat]

Be in line by 5:30. It's a long line.

A good helmet will only cost you about $150. Renting helmets is worse than bowling shoes! Ya'll know you could borrow mine if I'm too slow. I'm hoping to break the 14 barrier, though.... Just wash your dang hair before coming to the track! Except Rob, of course!

[magindat]

Really and truly, as organized as our chapter of SSM can be, I'd like to see this become a regular meeting. Like Tower on the 3rd Friday and Moroso on the 1st Friday maybe (as Moroso's schedule allows).

There's a backfield to park for those who don't wanna run and plenty o' cool cars to look at and people to talk to just like at Towers.

Let's think about, huh. Whad'ya think, Z?

[StevenJ]

Im interested in it. The only thing is that the weather is hot and muggy and the humidity sucks. The cars wont run too well but Im still down for a Moroso night.

That's what I was thinking. I'm going to start going again but not until October/ Novembor. Plus my rear tires are down the ribs in the middle. I want to wait until I get a new set.

Let's think about, huh. Whad'ya think, Z? What do I think? Why don't You & Blackmobile work it out & post it starting next month lets say the first friday of the month, or every other month, lets see what happeneds. Maybe it will work out to be something good for our group. The weather right now isn't ideal for racing ,but I'm sure as the weather starts to cool down It might catch on and be a steady thing.

[ghost03]

Sounds like a good idea. I agree with Z about the weather being so crappy lately. It would be a waste if we all had to drive all that way ( Some farther than others ) and have it rain all night....

We can go a few times in the next few months, then make it a regular thing once September / October roll around. By then the weather should be cooler and much less rain. Besides I need some time to get my customized helmet for the track:D :banana2:

[juno]

I'm at least a month away from running the 1320 again, but I will be needing a lot of test and tunes once I start dialing it in.
Luckily Moroso is close to me! :D

[Blackmobile]

Last time I was at Moroso my rear tires were just about gone. Just lower your air preasure and stay out of the water. OR You can just come on up and root for your favorite Secret Service vehicle.

[rozkopeeko]

yoooooo i'm new to the threat and i'm in Ft. lauderdale and hey i'm game!!!!!!!! for both dates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on the road for the month of August and either way my car will not be ready for Moroso during this time frame. But rumor has it, rumor:hmmm: , that Diablosport is looking at renting Moroso for us Marauder guys in September for some real time drag race tuning. My little mouse at DS :thinker: is on top of things there so I will keep everyone posted on this "rumor." In the meantime you guys have some fun. :sweat:

[ghost03]

All you need is a helmet. I think you pretty much have everything else. So dont worry about reading it. Want a Tylenol or Advil :pill: :pill: How about a :beer: and a :pill: :pill: that will make you feel better :puke:

[ghost03]

Hey Z!! Actually there is One thing you need to do. You need to take your hub caps off before you go down the track:banana: :lol: You wouldnt want to hurt anyone if they were to fall off while going down the track

[StevenJ]

Last time I was at Moroso my rear tires were just about gone. Just lower your air preasure and stay out of the water. OR You can just come on up and root for your favorite Secret Service vehicle.

Nah, that's okay, I should be able to get a new set of KDW2s on the rear by the middle of next month. Don't forget to have that safety loop installed Rob!

[MarauderTJA]

Thats funny ,I heard almost the same thing. But a different month.( October). Either way, it's a nice Rumor.

Either month, I hope it happens.:D

[ghost03]

Don't forget to have that safety loop installed Rob! Its already done. Thanks

Well then it sucks to be you:D Dont say I never offered to :help: :D

Well then it sucks to be you:D Dont say I never offered to :help: :D First you post those Dame Rules that gave me a head ache :banghead: ,then you offer me a Cure :cool: ? I will get even! :tantrum:

The jacket isn't required for street legal cars over 12 seconds. I called on this last time cuz jackets are EXPENSIVE. All WE need is a HELMET for the times we run. Unless you're gonna start competing with MARTYO!!!!!

Edit: and I guess the DS loop is under 14. I'll just set my dial in for 14 although I am HOPING to break it!

[MarauderTJA]

I have yet to see any track enforce all the rules on a test n tune night. Only at major sanctioned events are they strict. Have a helmet and you guys will be fine.

[ghost03]

Summit has a nice black and white jacket for 59.99. Its not that expensive and may be worth getting just in case. You never know when you might need it especially since the MM is a never ending project

[Rick-n-Miami]

I think everyone should come down to Miami and join in the "Castro is in the hospital" block party along Calle Ocho Friday night. From there, we can proceed to go out and eat our last supper as we prepare for Hurricane Chris's arrival on Sunday.

[ghost03]

VIVA CUBA........CUBA LIBRE.......:beer: Lets have a nice cold one to celebrate. Hey Rick..I thought I saw you on the news last night celebrating on the streets of Hialeah with a few cuban mama's on the hood of you Marauder.

As for the hurricane.....Im not surprized. Last night it was just a depression and the news said that it wouldnt even make it past 35mph winds. That just goes to show you that they have been celebrating down in Hialeah all night. Supposidly its going to be a cat 1 on Friday...Of course. It always rains on Fridays..I guess its time for the Florida Hurricane exersise program. Put the shutters up, Take the shutters down. Put them back up then take them back down.

[StevenJ]

Ah even is Castro dies his brother will take power and if something happens to his brother then his children will take over and so forth............

Sounds cool though, the idea of a party before the first hurricane.

[greggash]

It is time for a run down the 1320

last time I was able to run 13.0 (numerous things done incorrectly)

Since then:
Widdened rims with Nitto 555 rubber all around
Metco control arms

I have been told this combination will help a bit in the launch,

I hope to see times of 12.8 or better,

See you all there

[magindat]

See you all there

So are we going this Friday, next, or BOTH?!

[Blackmobile]

I'm not sure about this Friday with only three votes,
but I'll be ready next Friday.
My excuse for this week is, I have to cover the rent check this week.
Next week: PARTY:party:

[Cobra25]

Count me out then. Next week end I'll be away. Have fun guys.

[magindat]

Let's do BOTH! Then, we can organize a regular meeting!!!!

[Blackmobile]

OK people, So far it looks like Friday is a go. Rain doesn't appear to be much of a threat (sporadic showers here and there, but the evenings look good for some cooler air for the MM to breath). So far we have 3 S/C, and 2 N/A, so can we interest any others to join us in breathing the fresh air of burnt rubber, racing fuel, and Carbon Monoxide at Moroso? I used these terms to get my girlfriend to stay home on Friday, and my kid doesn't like the flying bugs he encountered the last time they went with me to the track.

[ghost03]

I only count 2 S/C MM's. Whos the third? I hope to make it this Friday. Depends on how the weather is after work. What time are you guys meeting up? So what is the final head count..........

[StevenJ]

I don't know Ed. I would love to go again but it is 180 miles total and I don't have a new set of rears yet. I may have to pass but definitely I will make it up there by the middle of september.

[Blackmobile]

I only count 2 S/C MM's. Whos the third? I hope to make it this Friday. Depends on how the weather is after work. What time are you guys meeting up? So what is the final head count..........

I checked out rozkopeeko's profile and it stated he was S/Ced, which brings our head count up to 5.
I was planning on getting out of work about 3:30 and heading home to drop off my trunk organizer
and grab a bite to eat before heading up to Moroso at about 4-4:30. Predicting normal Friday traffic on the turnpike,
I figure I'd get there to be in line about 5:30-6:00. If anyone wants to meet up before hand just let me know.
Traffic tends to move out of the way when we travel in a group. Ed

[ghost03]

I might not be able to make it. The past few days have been rough at work, and today is going to be the same. Im hoping to get my work done at a decent time and go home but I doubt it....

[Blackmobile]

To ensure that you make it, just cough on your boss a couple of times, I'm sure he'll let you go a little early.

[Blackmobile]

I was wondering if everyone that voted for tonight was still going?

[magindat]

I plan on going. I pick up my kid at 4:30, so I may be a little later than 6, but I'll be there!!!!

[MarauderMarc]

Ill be there. Just put some goodies on the GT...:burnout:

[ghost03]

So how was moroso last night? what did you guys run?

[MarauderMarc]

It was a nice turn out. It was hot, but we all had fun. 4 marauders total and me in my GT. It was my first run with this car and I did a best of 13.960 @ 101.90 with a .233 r/t and a 2.110 60'. Ill let the others who went post up their times.

It was great hanging at the track again guys. Lets do it more often!

[StevenJ]

Um.... HOT! It was 100 degrees plus on the early runs. Oh, Greg, Rich, Ed, Mark, and I came. You didn't miss too much..........

[Blackmobile]

Man, did we have a time and a half. My first run was my fastest run at 14.8 and my Best R/T .066,
too bad they weren't on the same run.
I found some faults that have to be addressed but all in all I had loads of fun.
I also found the best place to sell a S/C, and that would be at the end of the track,
because if one was there I would have scarfed it up("We need more power Scotty").

[Cobra25]

Hope everyone had alot of fun. I was up in Disney from Tuesday to Today. Hope to make it next time. Buy the way how was the track condion and how did the rest of the guys do ?

[Blackmobile]

I almost forgot about the track conditions being a measurable factor because the longer I was there the slower of I felt I was going.
I'm taking into consideration my R/T of .066 was the beginning end of a 15.08 @ 96.2 run. My 60' started at 2.23 and ended up being 2.51. But I have to keep in mind my brain deadness since the majority of the night I forgot to turn off the OD.

So the lesson learned is that I need more of the 2 P's.

More Practice and more Power.

[Blackmobile]

By the way Rich,
was I correct in hearing that the Yellow Hemi Charger was running in the 15's?

[MarauderMarc]

By the way Rich,
was I correct in hearing that the Yellow Hemi Charger was running in the 15's?

It was sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooow!!! It was a Daytona Hemi Charger. I dusted him and Rich beat him as well. He was a nice guy, but I was not at all impressed with the car. Never saw him pull under a mid 15

[StevenJ]

It was sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooow!!! It was a Daytona Hemi Charger. I dusted him and Rich beat him as well. He was a nice guy, but I was not at all impressed with the car. Never saw him pull under a mid 15
That car can run low 14s. He just wasn't trying hard enough.

[magindat]

By the way Rich,
was I correct in hearing that the Yellow Hemi Charger was running in the 15's?

Ya, He didn't break 15 all night. He was a nice guy, though. Another Big Sedan brother.

Anyways, I can't talk. I didn't break 15 all night, either. The mods I've done since the last Moroso trip have actually slowed me down. Just goes to prove you gotta tune for extra air!!!!

I'm looking forward to going again. Z said me and Eddie should arrange it if we want it to be a regular thing. So....

I'll see ya'll again September 1st!

I already checked the MMSP calandar. It is another test & tune night. We need to all decide which class we want to run in so we can stay together!

Bracket Style or Heads-UP?!
