I can sympathize. There isnt anything particularly close to me either.

Im keeping my fingers crossed though cause there are couple guys trying to bringback the minnesota dragstrip. They just need find an appropriate location. Which will be nice if they do it. State of the art and within an hour of downtown.

I'm from Jax...where is a 1/4 mile track here? The only track I know is Jax Raceway (dirt track, asphalt track, 1/8 mile).

12-01-2003, 03:46 PM

I still wanna know how that car pulled a 15.1 with almost the SAME MPH as my 15.7 run in my completely STOCK Alero

I was told by a couple of guys that I race with that there was 1/4 mile track in Jacksonville, they could be wrong, though. Hey since we're talking about FL, how about trying to get something together with some other members here in FL. I would love to meet some people from this sight and see their cars.

AleroHawk · 12-04-2003, 12:11 AM

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing that too, but all of the FL people on here are spread out like crazy (drawback of being such a long state). Any FL people got a nextel? Could plan out a meeting place one day.

I'm considering having my ecu programmed by vette's unlimited in corpus chyristi texas! does anybody know the best performance settings, (fuel curve, timing, auto trans settings) or where I can get them, to compare to what he is gonna do to mine? I'm very finicky about my car! and I'll most likely have to reset it for the super or turbo charger! the custom exhaust you did? did you fit 2 pipes under the car?

It was also a GAGT 3400, not a twin cam.

Saw lots of stock, or close to stock GAs run low 15s.

the 2.4/5 speed is a mid 16 sec car.

MY ALERo has not been able to visit the track yet. boohooo. Well thats ok the highway is my race trak.

Well, have fun, but know that emergency services laugh at you when they pull you mushy and mangled body out of a wreck. You have now topped your most stupid statement. I've been to accidents, where an innocent person was injured, quite seriously, from the consequences of "The highway is my racetrack, hyuck"

Sorry to get off topic Flalero. But I had to say that.

Don't worry about getting off the topic, check out my post earlier in this thread, I said something about her comment of street racing.

I also was at Englishtown on that day I thought you ran a 15.3. My car was out of aligment that day, well it still is, after I get it fixed I'm going to head over to Acto. I thought I saw on their site that they have test and tune on the weekends in the wintertime.

12-31-2003, 03:10 PM

yo guys January 25 a bunch of us aleros are going to atco, meeting there around 10 to 11, u guys should come that live around NJ , PA< DEL

Redog · 12-31-2003, 04:22 PM

I'm hoping that I can run about 15.5 at Atco, but I'll be happy with 15.69 or 15.70.

My main goal is to get into the high 14's but I don't know if that will happen

12-31-2003, 04:52 PM

You guys have to understand that not all cars are created equal. Even if they are the same model year and make. When i went to MGM this past fall there where 2 GAGT's that both where literaly stock that where hitting 15.2-15.4 all day. I couldnt break 15.6 for the life of me and my mods greatly out weighed them. But none the less they stomped on me all day. My buddy at GAGT.com (kubiache) only has headers as far as "serious performance mods go" and his best was 14.8. Ive also watched other GAGT's that have headers, P&P EVERYTHING, big @ss TB, PCM and they couldnt break 15 flat. It comes down to the car itself. No one really knows why this is. American cars are known for having factory freaks. I will be hitting high 14's this spring for sure. If not im gonna cry.
