See you all there!
Guess I'm in B Mod this time...

[1337trix]

if all the rumours are correct... gonna be like 10 strong cars in b-mod


should be interesting

[twinch]

I should be able to make that. Funnily enough, I've never gone carting before so I'll be the guy blocking everyone. :) See everyone there!

[Taylor]

Anyone want a B-Mod codriver? :P

New ride this year?

[yangsui]

O.M.G. B Mod!

I'll likely be at the autoslalom school that day. Can't make it to the open house. Still series registering though. Dibs on number 42.

[Ziploc]

Mine isn't a Type-S. High Milage.. and $2500 for Tein's is.. not going to happen. :)

Now if I could get special dispensation for having JDM ITR shocks... I might consider hitting redline.

[elementZ]

Sounds like its gonna be a great season in b-mod :D

[dhall0519]

No, new motor. Project should be done in time for first event!

[13inches]

Still plenty of room for a turbo.

[dhall0519]

Should have said C mod & "YOU WILL NEVER SEE A TURBO" doesn't belong in this car Its all about N/A !!

[max attack]

You should put the front cover on that engine,plenty easy for a stone to go thru the the pully and ruin your day.

Btw unless you have HUUUUGE money to make NA power with the 4ag it'll still be slow unless you add boost.Been there done that kinda comment so don't hate.;)

[Kuruma]

I'll be representing C-stock, series + novice registration this time around!

[1337trix]

novice??? you've done too many events no?

[Kuruma]

novice??? you've done too many events no?

I didn't series register last year, lol

[13inches]

I didn't series register last year, lol

That doesn't matter Louis. 3 events is 3 events.

I guess you're going for overall this year ;)

[Kuruma]

Oh okay, news to me then. oops :p

[dhall0519]

Yes there will be a cover for the belts, as much as I would love to show off everything thats under there. This is just the old engine being used for mock up & fabrication of brackets & lines etc etc.
As for N/A power, no "hate" taken max attack. Secondly I'm hoping that what I've built should put me pretty decent. 170ish Hp. Lots of care & consideration has been taken in the development.

[max attack]

That 170ish hp sounds pretty optimistic,I'd love to be proven wrong though.What comp ratio and cams?,which head big or small port?.

Heading to the dyno?Love to see the #'s,tell me the above parts and I'll take a guess and see how close I get.:)

[Mr2Rob]

Planning to move to C-mod as well, if allowable. Based on last year's numbers in the class, should be a fun year.

[dhall0519]

engine specs: 4th gen block/crank/rods
ARP studs for head & mains, bolts for rods
(they don't make power but certainly give security)
cam 9.2 mm with 272 duration
TRD carbonfiber h/d gasket
Toda cam gears
TRD GpN big port head port/polished for midrange power
Cyl head C/C out & engine will have 11:87:1 comp
TRD springs & retainers
ITBs from silvertop controlled by Autronics standalone Ecu.
As for the dyno scheduled to go in next month.

[max attack]

Sounds like a good combo,for midrange I probably would've used a massaged small port with the 272's but this combo should get you close to your goal.It without a doubt will sound wicked with the itb's.:D

Btw what do you expect to rev it too?.

[dhall0519]

power should start to drop off around 7800 so I'll probably set rev limit to 8000 to 8500

[max attack]

power should start to drop off around 7800 so I'll probably set rev limit to 8000 to 8500

Sounds good,I spun mine with boost to a little over 8k a few times with no problems.

[twinch]

Jsut a general and perhaps a silly question. My WOSCA membership expired because I didn't do any racing last year. For the PITL series do I need to renew my WOSCA membership or join any associated clubs with CASC? Or, can I just join PITL without a club membership?

[13inches]

CASC affiliation is not required to enter our series.

If you would like to become an MSOC member for your CASC affiliation, you can speak to Darryl at the open house or any of our events.

[Mr2Rob]

With no luck in the used market we finally decided on new Hankook Ventus Z214's in 225/45/15. What's everyone else running this season?

[AtomicPunk]

Since the Open House is at Formula Kartways I thought some of you might be interested in a current Groupon deal - $20 for 25 Laps and a One-Year Membership to Formula Kartways ($45 Value). Deal expires Midnight, Wednesday March 30th, so don't wait!

[1337trix]

are we gonna see a return of the blue celica?? ^^

[AtomicPunk]

Hoping to be back for a few events this year, though I'm not sure it'll be with the Celica.

Sadly, none of the above - nowhere to put a child seat. I did manage to prove I could use a 2-door Scion tC as a family car, though - http://sciontestdrive.blogspot.com/2011/03/sunday-drive-in-scion-tc.html

wink, wink, nudge, nudge - "Hey honey, I think we should get a tC." Don't think that would go over too well.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Gs3ORsDvIpA/TYgHmnTZg0I/AAAAAAAAD4U/Sx00laqO9JI/s400/P1050140.JPG

More likely than not, given my blind devotion to Toyota products, it'll likely be a Scion xB (http://sciontestdrive.blogspot.com/p/2011-scion-xb-my-review.html) with all the TRD suspension goodies (needed for my sanity). B-Mod for me. I'm sure those watching the "toaster" run around the course will have some cutting comments. ;)

Not sure of the timing though, depends on when I sell the Celica, so maybe I'll still have it for the first event.

[AtomicPunk]

Stumbled across the recently enlarged Maple Go Station parking lot today. It's quite large, and it isn't littered with those little yellow posts. Couple of issues, perhaps - 1) proximity to residential area on the west side of the tracks and 2) it has quite a slope to it, though it may create interesting challenges.

Google Maps doesn't currently show the extent of the lot so I highlighted it. Anyone ever look at this lot? No trains running on weekends here.

[13inches]

Thanks for the suggestion Todd, I've sent it over to Darryl to look into. Given the residential area across the street I'd say the prognosis isn't very good but it never hurts to ask.

Feel free to keep the suggestions coming!

[dhall0519]

:eek:
Thats a 1hr drive for me.....
THAT WOULD SUCK !

A whole hours drive eh?

Good thing you don't live where I do or you'd never go ANYWHERE!.:)

[13inches]

If you haven't been to our site recently, you may want to pay it a visit and see what's up with the series for this year ;)


Also, we are looking for 2 or 3 able-bodied folks to help us out for the season. Arrive early, help with setup, registration and maybe even design a course or two, hang out under the tent and do some timing or starting duties for the day and help us tear-down at the end. There ARE PERKS to this job ;)

Drop me a PM if you're interested and can commit yourself for the season.

[twinch]

Just a note, on the registration form the link to the Williams form is broken. Is there another link to it?

That form is outdated (it says 2010!). Look for the 2011 registration form to be up in the next few days.

You've managed to change time and somehow make June 1st a Saturday? I'm impressed :D

[AtomicPunk]

Hey, great news on getting Scion as a sponsor! I understand from my Scion contact that they are providing a tC at each event.

[1337trix]

shootout car!

[yangsui]

^no, I vote Dave's Levin as the permanent PITL shootout car :P

Kidding. A tC would make a fun shootout car.

[Sober99]

Is event 3 on June 11 or 4?

The Website shows Wednesday June 1

If I had to guess I would say June 11. It's the 11th on the flyer - http://www.wiredmotorsports.com/pitl/pdf/pitl-2011-series-flyer.pdf

It's also the eleventh on a different page on the site - http://www.wiredmotorsports.com/pitl/seriesinfo.html

Probably just a typo on the front page, but I'm sure Ryan can confirm.

[13inches]

June 11 is the date.

What exactly is a VIP class?

[1337trix]

you're not in it val... no need for you to worry :)

[Ziploc]

Do I need to paint my wheels orange too!?

[1337trix]

no more orange wheels :(

[AtomicPunk]

What exactly is a VIP class?

If you have to ask.....

Actually, it's a good question. I don't recall that term being used in the past.

[13inches]

The V.I.P. class is an invitation-only class comprised of local media, celebrities and emergency services personel to who come out for the day and drive spec-cars.

The last time we used the class was in 2007 at the Brampton pro-slalom.

And it was used before that for maybe 5-6 years straight when Mazda was donating a Miata. Stopped about the time the series moved from Go Dixie to Hershey.

[dhall0519]

:eek:
Sorry guys I haven't had time to do anything more than get the car completed.
Did I miss something, I dont see a 2011 registration form anywhere.

[twinch]

Totally pumped for the season. My brand new suspension is complete!!! Bye bye K-Sports. I can't wait to take it out for a test and get it set up properly. It's been a number of months to collect the parts, and build it and get it installed. It's an odd setup but I'm hoping that the time and effort will be worth it. I'm using koni yellows with ground control coilover springs(approx 375lbs front, and 550lbs rear). To get camber up front now I had to slot the towers. Oh man, I'm so excited. Anyone want some K-Sport Kontrols for cheap? :)

[1337trix]

hopefully its a huge change, bmod i think found something like 1.5 seconds last year :)

[MastaDeeMon]

Nice, PITL is back. Looking forwrd to doing a couple of events.

This year i'm in A-mod, sucky. :(

[twinch]

1.5 seconds?!? Woh, I'm going to be way behind. I'll call this year, a "Development Year" as my excuse.

[dhall0519]

:confused:
Haven't come across a 2011 registration form, am I just missing it?

[13inches]

There will be forms at the open house. Just bring a pen :)

(And your helmet)

[yangsui]

Is there any way to reserve a car number? I can't make it to the open house but will series register at the first event. Would really like to be #42 again.

[94mx6-ls]

There wont be run groups again this year will there...?

I'm in though. Have to see if I can make it this weekend or not though.

Will I be the only one rockin a Scion out there? Looks like I'll be B-Mod...anyone care to clarify where a 2011 Scion tC will class with basically the TRD catalog of parts installed?

Run groups: sometimes yes, sometimes no. We'll see what the turnouts are like.

You won't be alone in the Scion. Check the series' website ;)

As for classing, assuming that catalog of parts doesn't include a supercharger you should end up in B-Mod. List the mods and I'll confirm it for ya.

[AtomicPunk]

Will I be the only one rockin a Scion out there?

I expect to be out for a few events in my xB.

[yangsui]

Don't worry Yang, your number is protected ;)

Wicked. Thanks Ryan! Y'all can expect me to hold on to that number for many years to come. :D


I expect to be out for a few events in my xB.

We really need to see more xBs everywhere.

[AtomicPunk]

Given the support from Scion Canada maybe we should ask for preferred parking in the paddock?:D

TRD doesn't make a supercharger...unfortunately!

Here's a brief overview of the mods for help with classing...

- TRD Big Brakes
- TRD Lowering Springs
- TRD Strut Tower Brace
- TRD CAI
- TRD Quickshifter
- Descendant Racing Cat-Back
- Enkei RPF1 18x9.5" with 255/40R18 Advan AD08's (all around)

There's more, but that's the stuff that matters anyways.

From my observation, it's still B-Mod, but correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kuruma]

See you folks on Saturday.

Nope. But sad to say, these wheels/tires are 5.5lbs lighter per corner than factory.

See everyone there tomorrow! Again, I apologize for being crap on the track. I've never go carted before.

[twinch]

Great seeing some faces I haven't seen for a while. Carting is just too fun. I can see myself going to some winter carting events this coming year. See everyone in 2 weeks. Thanks to the pitl crew who have organized this year.

[1337trix]

good to see a couple familiar faces back out as well


the off season is far too long

[Kuruma]

Good to see some of the guys again.

I assume my FTD from the first karting session got wiped out :D

[Ziploc]

Great to see you guys again!

[twinch]

I went through the thread to see if this was in there. I didn't see it, but if it was I apologize. The last event says Sunday Oct 1. Is it Supposed to be Saturday Oct 1, or Sunday Oct 2? I can't read the pdf with the schedule so if it is correct there then I missed it. My pdf reader keeps saying Insufficient data available. Stupit Computers!

Almost 1 week to go till Event 1!

[Snizzoop]

The PDF says Sunday October 1st.

[13inches]

Saturday October 1st.

I like how Travis is looking way ahead at the end cone even before entering the slalom :D
