I have talked with the Track manger at New England Dragway and I found out some great info.

Normally there are a few days / nights per week when anyone can show up and make a few runs but, it can get busy and if you wanted to run side by side with someone you know, the odds are slim.

Good news is, if we can pick a Saturday (some time soon) and get atleast 10 plus cars together (any make / year ): the Track manger will set us up with our own lane and make it so we can run side by side !!

We will get a bunch of runs in and first class treatment.
He gave me his direct line and said once we pick a day, give him some notice and we will be all set.

Price will only be around $30. each to be paid in advance.

I think this is a awsume deal and a great price, so lets make it happen while we can and before he gets all booked up!!

My gears are going in on the 27th of this month but I prolly won't be picking her up until the following weekend. I may need some break-in time too.
My weekends appear to be free starting 6/14.
I pulled a baseline last year so I will be anxious to hit the track again to see the difference.

Never had it to a track Sean, but I used my d-pic (not sure how accurate that is) and I ran a 14.4. What if we do it sometime in the middle of June? Like the 14th or 21st? That way we can get everyone, courtmarshall, Mike and whatnot, his gears should be broken in by then.

So with the Scangauge II the temp after the supercharger intercooler was 113 degrees F. I did not even go WOT but got a full shot of meth and as fast as the Scangauge could sample the data...near instantly the temp was 75 degrees.... muggy and wicked watch out.:mad2:

I've had new gears several times over the years.
The quickest and best way to break them in according to the pro's is to:
Take the car for a good 30 mile plus drive, try to stay on a highway and keep it under 65 mph.
Then let it sit over night, take her out again around town, do a few burn outs and a quick run down the highway 80mph again.
The next day your good to go!!
If your going to have any issues you'll hear it by then, they say.

Good luck- Boston Mike

See Mike I've heard other ways to break in gears. Most common I've heard is take it for a 10 mile drive, bring it back home and let it sit for about 30 min, then go for a 20 mile drive, let it sit for 45 minutes and you should be good to go after that.

As for now we are all set up for Saturday 5/31

Gates open at 8am and we will report to Tech Department and Joe (the track manager) is going to set us up with our own Special Elimator Class.

I will pay the deposit to hold our spot, but who ever goes will pay $30. entry fee when they arrive. So you do not need to pay me in advace.

I hope this works out.. I can only get so many days off from work and this will be one of them. I am told they are getting booked up but, if it turns out to be a rain day; he will do his best to get us into the next opening.

If you are 100% committed to going, then please reply here so we can start to get an accurate count.

I would like to show up with atleast 10 cars.

This will be a great time if everyone goes, make some vids, pics, etc, this is what it is all about!!!!! Lets make it happen.

Some basic rules, each car will be inspected by the dragway.

Everyone must have an overflow for the radiator. (l used a can)

If you run faster than 14 sec you will need a Helmet. (maybe we can share if not every has one)

The rest is just basic inspection.. you can view the rules on the website:
www.newenglanddragway.com (http://www.newenglanddragway.com)


Lets make this happen, start recruiting and lets get a count going..

Well the basic idea is to heat them up and then let them cool down over night. Normally people just take it for a long ride under 65mph then just let it sit till the day and thats it.. go racing.
But, if you are nervious or just want to be extra safe.. they do the 2 day gig.

Raudermaster
05-22-2008, 09:26 PM
Don't you think that sucks though if you chose to go to another tuner? He may not use the same tune, but he could glance at it and learn a thing or two about THAT certain car. No, so then you have to go out and buy another $300 dollar SCT tuner, since that one's a paper weight now.

Paul T. Casey
05-23-2008, 04:09 AM
Dez runs a business. He probably considers his tunes to be proprietary informaation. Did you negotiate leaving it open? Perhaps for a fee he would. Thing is, there's a lot of research work put into tuning. You just don't futz with numbers and have it come out right. The time spent getting a tune right is time not spent on other projects in your business.

Track rules say a snell rate of 95 or better, I guess that is a fairly old rate, new ones have a snell rate of like 2000.

Now we're talking. I usually only make food bets, but I may be able to scrap a few dimes and nickels together.

As for the helmet issue. The guy with the 1973 hat, just leave it home. Helmets are cheap, just go buy one (motorcycle shop, performance store, etc). I'd also double check on the Snell 95 deal. IIRC, you must be wearing Snell 2000 or newer (probably Snell 05 is out by now).

One other BIG thing for any s/c guys. Check the rules to see if you're required to have a Flame-proof jacket. Since any s/c Marauder is after market, I believe you'll need the coat.

I took one for a test drive a few years back; shaker type. I got 3 gears of solid rubber out of it. Very nice. It's amazing what our motors are capable of without that extra 1500lbs.

I just checked the weather for Epping and it says thunder showers. The forcast could certainly change by then, this being New England and all. Put me in the "tentative" column. If it looks like it will be clear in the morning, count me in. I'm dying to make some runs with my new gears. :burnout:

TJ, I took my "stocker" down the track a few years back. All the rice handed me my ass. I had fun anyway. I was establishing a base-line. Now I can measure my gains. Maybe I'll let you take it for a spin so you can see if a gear swap is something you'd like to do in the future.

Yup, pretty amazing since R&T put it up back in '04 against the brand new '04 GTO 6spd. The puny 4.6l vs. the God like 5.7l. The GTO trapped faster mph, but the Mach destroyed it time wise all 5 times. Adam said he found some guy online bone stock turned a 13 flat out of it. FYI, all the '03/04 Mach's have Shaker's ;). However, they do make a shaker kit for the GT. Not to mention they have a better crank than we do.

I've checked 4 different stations and each say there is a 100% chance of rain / thunder showers at Epping this Saturday. :mad2:


That being said, This Saturdays Dragway Day is canceled.
Of course any1 who wishes to still go can but, I will not go in the rain.

Question is when do you guys want to go, next available date is Saturday 6/7. After that will be another month wait, so I do not want to wait another month. I would like to post a new thread for 6/7. ???

Another ???? is, would people prefer going on a Friday night 6/6 gates open at 5pm. I could talk to Joe at the Track and see if he can hook us up on 6/6.

I am just asuming it would be easier for everyone to do this on a Saturday and we'd have more day light.

As far as I can see from the schedule Joe sent me, the next available date that he can set us up with our our lane is 6/7, then nothing again till 7/13.
I don't want to wait till 7/13. All I can do is call him tomorrow and see if he can do the same set up for us on one of the street nights like a Friday night.

Either way i will let you know. if 6/7 is no good for anyone else then i will just go by myself because I'd like to run my car and see what it does. I'll still go to another Drag day if you guys still want to pick a day.
