Spring Fling Speed Festival XII, Thursday, April 12th, 2018

Spring Fling Speed Festival XII
It's on again Thursday April 12th 2018 at Big Willow in Rosamond CA!

Tim said to put up the info
http://alltimeracing.com/spring-fling-speed-festival-xii-thursday-april-12th-2018/
$275 pre register and $325 afterwards. The website dates are not updated yet but I will confirm with Tim! His PayPal is therren_2000@yahoo.com

I have already signed up! Can't wait!

Sweet!
Currently thrashing on the AMX to get it done by then. When is the pre registration cut off?

Hey Brent!

I emailed Tim but he didn't reply yet? I'm going to take an educated guess and say 3 weeks prior to the event. That would make the cutoff Thursday March 22nd 2018.

Based on previous years info, I'm pretty sure Tim would update his website to this:

"Registration:
This all day track event is $325.  Pre-register before 3/22/18 and pay only $275.

No refunds after on time registration date 3/22/18, which is 3 weeks prior to event. Same Day Registration add $50. So that’s $375 same day for you disorganized, uncommiting types. No credits or refunds after 3/22/18."

I may or may not be able to make it dependent on school. I'm on double time now that I'm trying to finish my master's by June. Also, if I run, I'd need to find out how to make oil not come out of my left valve cover oil fill hole on long sweeping right turns.

Early registration closes 3/22/18, RylisPro is correct. Typically drivers start signing up by now and this year is no exception.

MUUMUU101 What seems to be the problem with the oil fill hole? Does it have the screw in cap? Those dont typically leak.

Put the cap on.

Try something like these. One is Mike Ritz's car and I believe the other is from Rick Guisto's car.

Yup, good ol roundy round and road course track breather setup. :-)

ahhh! So simple when you put it that way!

Hopefully you bring the 70 Cuda again this year Tim!

I will be bringing the Cuda for Sure. Will be sporting a couple changes.

I will not be able to make it for the Speed Festival. Just too much going on.

The event is exactly one month away!
Time to start getting ready for it!

Any recommendations on a hotel, I don't remember the name of the one from last year

Hey Eric!
The Motel 6 I stayed at the first time I was there wasn't that great. Last year and this time around I got a garage like always do when going to a track day. I have a kot and a sleeping bag so I'm all good haha!

I'm still hoping to sell a car by the end of March, then I can drive down to watch, no time to get proper tires for the AMX, or to double check stuff, like main bearings and all, but it'd be fun to watch and maybe ride along with somebody, hint hint. lol

Make sure to bring a helmet!

Mine is kinda old, like from '98? or early 200000000s. :-)

M95

Aug. 8, '97.

Yeahhhhh, I didn't hear or see that....

Well, it's never been crashed, or thrown from a frustrating run.

Regarding helmets, most clubs require a helmet no older than the Snell date of within the past 10-years. So, current oldest would be Snell 2010... good through 2020 (they only come in 5-year updates... 2015 most recent.. and then good through 2025).

Some clubs may have allowances -- its an "insurance" issue beyond the club's control. Check with every club's requirements before you intend to enter and get on the track.

i cant wait for track day!!! i dont think there is any host hotel. might want to try airbnb or vrbo in the area. thats what i did. if you are planning on coming to track day, plan on coming out wednesday afternoon, as we sit around and bbq, bench race, and check out the cars in a very casual setting. i'll see if i can get tim to post a updated list of entries. even as a spectator it is worth the trip to watch all the vintage iron on track.

Timing and scoring is back again for this event for those interested.

Bill Surber, Chrysler Racing and chassis engineer is back again this year, he was a liaison to Richard Petty from 1968 to 1976 , also designed the MoPar kit car, GM space frame, Karma formerly Fisker. He will be there both days.

and my scale set again to weigh cars that weren’t there or didn’t get weighed last year.

Awesome! I think my car will be a little porkier this year.

I am getting a garage next to Tim's and we can setup the weights there again.

I’m in too, after failing to make the last two years...
Tim, I sent payment via PayPal
See you guys there, going to try and make the wed afternoon meetup this time.

What’s your guess on what your 70 Cuda weighs?

Right on Steve, I have been wanting to weigh my car!

Eric, you are go to go. Wednesday afternoon is awesome

Steve, so glad you are bringing the scales again! And your challenger.

Everyone be thinking of good GoPro ideas. Wednesday is good for interviews and car tours.

Does any one need a solid GoPro or standard camera mount for their rollbars?


http://www.rylispro.com/category/kw-machine-works-gopro-camera-mounts
I can get KW Machine Works mounts for those that need them. Order before April 1st to get them delivered to your door. One can also email me to order and I will bring your mounts to the event to save on shipping.

They are Made in USA

Last time I weighed it ~3529lbs but that was probably before the interior was back in it.

That engine probably resulted in a decent weight loss over the 440.

Yeah me too!

SFSF XII event t-shirts!!! There used to be one in your size but the guy right before you just bought it! $30

Willow Spring Raceway, April 12th, Thursday.

All cars welcome. If it will make it to the track then it’s probably good enough.

If you haven’t signed up, then your late.

Honestly, a lot of guys just tow [censored] to the track that they have no idea if it will even make it one lap. We put them in the Jack Stand Group.

That's an awesome shirt Tim! Put me down for a blue one!

I'm also bringing a couple of `Cuda spoilers as well if anyone wants to purchase one and save on shipping. Will also bring samples of Planted Technology seat brackets and KW Machine Works GoPro mounts. Does anyone want any billet steel or aluminum flywheels? Will bring those as well!

im always interested in AL flywheels.

Here is some aluminum goodness for you Tim!
10.5" 130t zero balance, 6 bolt small and big block Mopar. Constructed of domestic 6061 aluminum plate and SFI certified

Super premium quality and I have them for the lowest price anywhere. Best of all Made in USA

Nice .... are they available balanced for a magnum 360?

Yes! There should be a counter weight kit available for Magnum 360's.

Getting ready for the track! I made some videos of me highlighting what I do to get ready for a track day on my YouTube channel. I also did an unboxing video of my Safecraft automatic fire suppression kit that I'm installing in the `Cuda if anyone wants to check it out!



Oh yeah I forgot to mention in my track prep video is to check your header bolts!

I ran into these guys today, they where heading to Willow Springs and then off to Spring Fling.

Have fun guys.

this one too....

Someone took this pic and posted on Facebook. It's making some rounds

That's so cool

YESSS... really coolll!!!!

Well I almost made it. Got near the Colorado river on I10 when the water pump on the RV took a leak. Managed to get back home with countless refills and no cap to keep pressure off the pump, thanks to a strong tail wind and cooler weather. Maybe next time.

Dang. Bummer. Was looking forward to meeting you at the show.

Some pics

My Dad is in Bakersfield and will be heading down there. Is there a meet-up and cruise from there tomorrow? I have an unreliable daily driver so I won't be coming up from San Diego.

Daytonas all the way down!

Looks like a good turn out and a nice day for. I soo want to get down there and do that again!!

*Meet at Woodley Park in Van Nuys at 930 AM on Friday April 13, 2018. We will leave by 10:15am.*

All kinds of cool tow vehicle. Not just wingcars.

Just made it back home safe. I was having clutch issues all day at the track. Not sure why yet? probably due to all the heat generated when driving hard but car drove home fine. I got some video and its up on YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXhbOQTel00

I also got some 360 video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-U9dbk53xQ

Thanks for posting that - proof I was actually there!
We limped the car home, made it ok. That was a long day! Left San Jose at 5am, got home to Sac at 10pm...800 miles!

Glad you guys made it home safe!

Glad everyone had fun!

Spring Fling Speed Festival 12 videos part 1,2 & 3 out now!
Check them out at http://www.youtube.com/user/RylisPro

Thanks for posting the videos Ariel! Did you get clutch issue figured out?

I haven't bled my clutch yet. The weird thing is the clutch worked normally driving home? It only acted like that when running hard at the track so I can't really test it again until my May 5th Sonoma event so we'll see.

Fluid boiling maybe?

Hopefully that is the case and a simple fix.
It could be master or slave cylinder going bad also, so we'll see...
