Its seemed like a good event, too bad the weather didn't hold out. I was running but in the test and tune lanes. I didn't make it there in time for the street car shoot out and only got one run before the rain started

 

[flyin ryan]

Don't feel bad...I never even got one run today

 

[flyin ryan]

I never noticed... Neil at HP Solutions is the guy/shop that did my cam/heads/dyno tune!! Good bunch... tell him Tony said hi...

 

[Riley P]

Best of luck Ryan! That would be awesome to watch. I should mark that down as another must do trip!

Now, if they just had a slowest street car competition, I bet I could win that with my S-15.

 

[HLN A55]

James at HP Solutions has an S-10 actually.... Turbo LS-1... Runs mid-high 9s... LOL You sandbagging on us Riley???

 

[Riley P]

If I could get under 17's in a stock, 4x4, auto, 2.5 liter, 92hp from factory in 1985, S-15, I would be quite impressed. My brother raced a Chevette back in high school and it was close! I don't think the speed limit was broken at any point.

 

[HLN A55]

good thing... we cant talk about that

James doesn't actually work at HP Solutions, is just a friend to Neil & myself. His S-10 has gone a best of 9.38, from last year yet. Neil ran a new personal best on Sunday! Was a good event, good turn-out. Hopefully bigger next year!

 

[Riley P]

Nice time for an S-10! I assume it is not a 4x4 and has been tubbed? Any pictures?

Did you run in the event?

 

[HLN A55]

Not I... go the horsepower solutions website... (Is a link ok???) anyhow... horsepower solutions edmonton should get it in the google serach...

the truck is in there... all black. The times on the web site are out dated.... says ONLY a 9.8 there LOL... Neil's MUSTANG also has a turbo LS1 and runs 9s...

Damn i fell slowwwwww ;P

Nope, no 4x4, LOL. It's not tubbed, runs a drag radial...295, I think. I looked for some pics quickly but didn't find any. Should be easy enough to find around the internet, type in 'BlackX'.

Neil's MUSTANG also has a turbo LS1 and runs 9s...

Neil doesn't have the Mustang anymore. Took the basic combination with some tweaks & put in in a 79 Zepyer, I built his engine this year but all the tuning is his deal. Has gone 8.97 so far...The Mustang only went 9.55, I believe?

 

[HLN A55]

Holy F@CK LOL I saw that car there last year when I was getting my car done!!! It was in the corner beside the blue turbo 'stang! The motor was on a stand too I believe... I'll have to drop by and see what "evil" those guys are up to. LOL

Frankly I thought the idea of building somthing that crazy in to a Zephyr was awesome

Update: Neil & I were at the track (Castrol) Tues., Neil ran best ever's all day. He went 8.96, 8.94, 8.94, 8.76 & 8.74...in that order. He also drove to & from the track. That was what you call a good day!

 

[HLN A55]

WOW... Incredible in my opinion for a street legal car!

[flyin ryan]

You should come out this Friday, a bunch of the boys will be out, Neil, James & the rest.

 

[HLN A55]

what time do the festivities commence? is it a street drags night or other?

Ya'...Just a regular Friday night street legal deal. Gates open at 5:00PM, Tech shortly after. Runs usually start by 6:30-ish. Usually goes till Mid-night or close to it. Has the makings to be one of the best Friday street legals for the year! If you make it out, stop by & say hey...
