1st Annual RSI Show n' Shine and Track Day

[Stereophile33]

RSI will be hosting an inaugural event on June 27th and 28th. The 27th will be a Volvo track day at PIR(Portland International Raceway) and Sunday will be a show n' shine event.

The track day is the 27th and will run $200usd.

The car show is $10 to get your car entered, we will have some GREAT prizes from gift cards at RSI, to some parts, as well as slew of other booty.

The details are still firming up on the location of the show event, we have some ideas but we need to nail them down.

Please give us a call at 503.408.6573 or e-mail info@r-sport.org for more info and how to sign up!

The RSI crew!



Car show is Sunday June 28th at RSI

4334 NE 85th Ave
Portland, OR 97220

Starts at 9:00am and goes till 1.

See everyone there.

[klr142]

Yes!

[Cameron]

Oh! I wonder if I can get my wagon ready to cruise the track. Or at least show it at the show and shine since you know, it has a couple RSI parts... ;-)

[GabAlmighty]

I'm interested...

[Tfest]

my engine will be in by then.... btw, thanks for the poly!

[NChoy]

Jonathan/Pat... count me in for the show. Barring any huge problems (I don't foresee any), the R should be done.

Are you guys doing the show at the track, or at the shop?

[Poik]

I need to make it to this. Will there be drag racing as well?

[harribert]

my car should be show off-able by then, can't wait!

no racing for me though, the extra wear is expensive :nod:

[dmelvi007]

I think I need to do this since I was unable to attend Thunderhill. Have you thought about posting this over on VS?

[adrianpike]

Sweet!

Got any rules & regulations-type info about the track day? I'm assuming modern non-dot helmet, no visible leaks, tight suspension, is there anything unusual to know?

If I can figure out a solid contingency plan in case I biff it bad, I'll be all over this here track day!

[Stereophile33]

danny, yeah i want to, but we arnt paying vendors over on VS yet and so i havent posted...

We are trying to get waterfront park for the show portion.

adrian, good to see you again this weekend. Helmet needed...no regs. Preferably few leaks, running fairly well. Instruction will be provided as well.

We are about to post up A BUNCH of details, so I will let those interested know about said events.

!!!

that's primo location, man! i think it would be a good idea to get a few other euro cars to pad it up this year, since there might not be that many of us, just sayin'

[Group A]

..no regs. Preferably few leaks, running fairly well.
:omg:
Let me clarify...

There will be rules and regulations to follow while on the track, but there is no limit to modifications done or needed for your car. So you will be able to run anything from your showroom stock mint low miler to your full race prepped trailer queen and everything inbetween.

And leaks are NOT acceptable. If you have a leak, fix it.
Most cars will weep a little or be slightly wet. That is okay. It does not have to be pristine in any way shape or form, but it must be mechanically sound and safe.

We will post up more specific details as soon as we can.

[F13ND]

I'll try and make it, if anyone is willing to trade a ride from seattle for gas money that would be great. I don't think my gutless wonder is going to be too awe inspiring on the track.

[Group A]

I don't think my gutless wonder is going to be too awe inspiring on the track.Several people will be running n/a 240's so it's not all about power. I've seen people run bone stock 544's and have a blast.

[Jordan]

This would be awesommmmmmmmmme.

Excellent - I think my RMS weeps a little bit and so there's almost always a little drop forming on the oil pan nut. I usually wipe down everything south of the head gasket before an autox, but I just wanted to make sure, since I've never done any real track days.

[NChoy]

Actually, if I can get the ECU tuned and the motor broken in by then, I'll also be down for the track day.

Is it $210 for the track day AND the show, or does $200 cover it all?

Jonathan... seriously, Waterfront park? Don't tease me with that.

[245GT-Turbo]

Sounds cool. Probably will be a spectator in both cases.

i can't decide which would be more awesome...i like the idea of showing off volvos in a relatively high-traffic area but camping at PIR would be pretty win.

[WeezilUSA]

Thought about it... and I'm in. Is there going to be a registration deadline for the track day? I want to make sure my car is running before comitting.

[Captain Bondo]

I wish this wasn't such a long haul for me. :-(

[WindowsBreakerG4]

Hmmm I might have to go to this! (Not going to race though, too far from home to break something)

[Group A]

I wish this wasn't such a long haul for me. :-(Well it is so suck it up and start making plans because you have to be there. We won't accept no for an answer. :-P

[Cameron]

I wish this wasn't such a long haul for me. :-(

Better just move to Portland then. ;-)

[F13ND]

I wish this wasn't such a long haul for me. :-(

It's not a haul from my house, and I've got garage space for the wagon. I would be glad to take care of it for you. :oogle:

[WeezilUSA]

What kind of tech inspection is required, do we have to get it done ahead of time and have documentation etc? (that is how the BMWCCA did it last time I did a track day).

[Alex Buchka]

I will definitely be in attendance.

[adrianpike]

I will definitely be in attendance.

I'll post it up there then. I wish I would have seen this post before the garage sale so we could have talked about it in person :lol:

[Poik]

Good, and bring all that **** you owe me you snake.

I will definitely be down for this, just have to make sure I get it off work. I won't be tracking my 744 though, I'm not confident it can take that much abuse and I'm too poor for the fee, but I'll definitely be down for some drag racing if they do that afterwards.

[b4_ford]

Will the track day be limited to Volvos or will other clubs/makes be there?

[Group A]

Will the track day be limited to Volvos or will other clubs/makes be there?It is a Team Continental track day, but as long as we have enough entries, we will get our own run group.

[Zappo]

Awesome. I am in for both.

As for NAs, they hold their own at Thunderhill. I was only at half boost this year at TH and still had a great time.

[Alex Buchka]

Good, and bring all that **** you owe me you snake.


Only if you bring me the money you owe me for said ****.

[Poik]

After all I've done for you.

[Tfest]

i will commit to the car show, sending email now.

no money for the track though, its tattoo season for me.

[Cameron]

...it's tattoo season for me.

There's a special season for that?

[Tfest]

There's a special season for that?

nah, just directing the fundage to a different hobby :-P

[Canuck]

Man, I'm here now...so sad I can't make an additional trip of 1500 miles!! Maybe next year.

[Canuck]

Sorry for the double post...interweb in Dayton, OR sucks.

As far as I know, the track day is getting quite full... I need to send in my registration soon!

[Zappo]

Who all did you pass at TH? Well, besides that Jeep SRT. Fast in a straight line, couldn't corner and was always off line.

For NA I was thinking of you and the guy in the 1800, at least for our run group.

[WeezilUSA]

What are people running for track pads on the 240? I know the PBR Deluxe that we currently have are going to fade away like nobody's business... But hopefully there is a suitable alternative that isn't the $200/per end that I ended up with on my E30 last track day (carbotechs)...

I passed an 855R/T5R, the Z06 Vette, was coming up on one of the S60Rs during one of the later run groups, was pretty close to the race Miatas depending on who was driving them and the V8 240 depending on the driver. I usually wasn't near many people on the track, and only got passed by the V8 240, the maroon 855, the race Miatas and the Porsches. I can't remember if there was anyone else that needed to get by... I wasn't happy when I pulled off the track during the open session and waited for someone that I could play with to pass, and then when I started to go back out they waved the flag for it being over... :( 80mi on the track just wasn't enough!!! Haha, so much fun.

But hopefully there is a suitable alternative that isn't the $200/per end that I ended up with on my E30 last track day (carbotechs)...I was running PBR/Axxis Ultimates all around, without dust shields on the front. That being said, they're no longer available I hear... Metal Masters in the back should be just fine, and as far as the front goes, I'd remove the dust shields and/or add some ducting to them. Metal Masters may manage if you aren't pumping too much power, but with real track tires and some actual power that's likely going to be a bit much. I don't really have a recommendation for a track compound pad for the front, but there is stuff out there that doesn't cost $200 an end.

I just removed my Ultimate's from the rear of my car to try out some new Akebono stuff, so my rear Ultimates could be purchased possibly if you must, otherwise I'd like to keep them around.

I was in the black 854R. The only car that passed me was the maroon vette, and that was only because I got stuck behind that Jeep for so long. Well, in the first 4 sessions. The open session I got passed by the Chevelle and 2 of the race miatas because they were right behind him, so I let them all through and followed. I pulled off the last session about 10 minutes before the end because my rear tires were picking up all the race rubber from the Group C guys and the rear was sliding all over.

I followed you for half a lap before you let me by. :) No idea you were NA when I was on the track. The black 855 you passed is a friend of mine. I am guessing he was being conservative in the corners and braking because that is where I really made ground on him.

[WeezilUSA]

Thanks Kyle.

I've been doing some reading, and it looks like the RX7 conversion in the front would really open up the options for pads; while still not having to spend too much money. I was thinking maybe EBC Yellowstuff... Depending on how well the car is running, it is going to have sticky tires and quite a bit of power, so I don't think the PBR deluxes are going to cut it.

[Renny_D]

Ohh just saw this. Now I have to get my beast running.. It hasn't been answered yet so I will ask again -- will there be drags? Lemme know.

Thanks
Renny

[dmelvi007]

Yeah, bit confused since I haven't heard back from my emails. Maybe they don't have new info yet. :)

Haha, yeah no turbo, automatic, 240...

Which session did you pass me on? I only got three laps in the first session and had NO clue what was going on. I took too long taking the adapters off and putting the track wheels on to go out for the slow track walk around, and I had no idea what to expect. Never been on the track or seen video of it. By the third session I had most if it down, and by the end of the day I was flying, relatively speaking. I didn't want to stoppppppppppp! So much fun.

Sure there are more pads available, but did you REALLY look around to see what's available for the standard 240 stuff? The RX7 swap has less piston area... Buttttt, has a larger diameter rotor(with more mass, too). It's almost a toss up with regards to braking power(stock has a slight advantage, supposedly). See the discussion here: http://ovtuners.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4313

Thanks
RennyThere are drags both Friday and Saturday night, according to PIR's website. The track day is Saturday, and people who have not done a track day before will be required to go to the ground school that is held on Friday night...
We need to send in registration?If you want to have a spot in the track day, absolutely. www.teamcontinental.com Peter says they are not going to have a Volvo class, so everyone will be grouped according to skill(and car speed, I'll be in group 2 because my car only will have 115-125whp). Sign up now if you want to be guaranteed a spot.
Yeah, bit confused since I haven't heard back from my emails. Maybe they don't have new info yet. :)I haven't confirmed with the RSI guys, but see just above for the track day...

[Poik]

I thought the RX7 calipers had larger pistons?

[klr142]

I haven't measured anything personally, but word on the street is they don't...

Yes, I am George. I just reviewed my video again and it was in the middle of the first session. I was behind you for almost an entire lap. It was probably the 3rd lap since the first 2 were full course yellow. A black Vette passes you on the front straight and I catch you by turn 2. Didn't get by until the front straight again. I was going to catch that Vette, but the Jeep got in my way as usual.
Thunderhill is the main reason I go to the Davis show. I have done 4-5 track days there now, so I know the course well. Love the elevation change.

Thanks for the info. I will register directly with Team Continental.

[WeezilUSA]

Apparantly they have 36mm pistons vs 38mm pistons of the stock 240... But they have a bigger pad... I dunno to me having the option of running better pads is worth it... I haven't looked a ton of places, but I have looked at brands that I know, Carbotech, EBC, etc etc... And there seem to be offerings for newer 240's with ABS, but not the older ones (now correct me if I'm wrong that they are different calipers)... I'm not totally sold on Lucky's argument over on that OVT thread, but I don't want to clutter this up here.. Just was having issues registering for some reason... Anyhoo, I already have the 740 jumbo's, so all I'd need is a set of JY calipers and a set of pads to give it a try. hmm. We'll see.

[adrianpike]

haha for about 30 seconds I thought that the lucky over on OVT was our lucky. :rofl:

Thanks for the info. I will register directly with Team Continental.Ah, cool. Yeah, I was basically stopping on the first session at every hill and blind corner, lol. I had Toyo R888 tires on, so I was no slouch once I learned the track. There was the C6 maroon Vette that was fast, but the C5 Z06 was a slouch once I learned the track. Tons of fun, will definitely be there next year again! There's also the new track out in Grass Valley, OR that is a whole 'nother sort of elevation changes... Do this track day with TC in June, and you're able to get the green light for the track day over there at Oregon Raceway Park with TC in Grass Valley later this year. THAT is going to be NUTS. Check out the videos on Youtube... :)

Check out Hawk, I think they have some stuff for us. And I'm not sure if the actual pads are different between the ABS 240s or not, but I'm 95% sure they're the same thing...

And actually, the Tirerack even has stuff: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/results.jsp?autoMake=Volvo&autoModel=2+Series+Sedan&autoYear=1991&autoModClar=

[WeezilUSA]

Ah... The only place I didn't look... Yeah I think maybe some Hawks will do the trick... That is untill we just go 17" so that we can put some R bits in there.

Any idea on when the track day may fill up? I want to make sure we are running and driving before shelling out for a slot.

[klr142]

No clue, send Yea, Right a PM. :) And R brakes are EXPENSIVE, you'll likely find a cheaper option by the time you need more brakes.

[Poik]

Woo I officially got this weekend off work!

Any chance of buying in some seat time for the road race day with someone? My car will not be back up and running but I would really like to hit the track again. Anyone wanna let me help pay for the entry fee and get some time on the track? RWD preferably

Thanks

No argument from this end on that!

[Quin]

[sbabbs]

I'm going drag racing for sure.

The details are still firming up on the location of the show event, we have some ideas but we need to nail them down.

It looks like we will be on the grass at PIR for the show and camping will be allowed the night before.

Johnathan's gonna be on grass at PIR...

I'd do the track day thing if I could swing the loot, but a little short right now.

Track day was pretty fun for most except maybe...

George had some problems with his 850R. Doesn't seem promising motor wise.

Jonathan's ITB 242 caught on fire after a battery power wire rubbed on a bracket through it's loom, wire insulation and then shorted out on the bracket. Engine compartment will need to be completely redone. :doh:

Amazingly fun day today. It sucks about the carnage but I guess it's bound to happen sooner or later. Thanks again to RSI and Team Continental, I've never had so much fun!!

[SWDN LOW]

:wtf: Sucks about Jonathans car, Engine bay was really nice especially for a race car. Guess it just give you a change to make it better?

Lots of people looking at your car.

[SWDN LOW]

Lot of good that does if no one has the money to take it home! :lol:
Sorry, its been a rough day at work... and I'm a little stressed, its inventory week at the warehouse.

Oh did you take Nordi up there btw?

[B-dub]

Holy ****. That's terrible! That totally sucks.

[Zappo]

Looks like I lost a piston. Time to build it stronger I guess.

I told Jonathan to drag the car out for the show and give me bonus points for dying on the track. :)

I see a set of Wiseco pistons and H-Beam rods in your future...

Rods are in there already!

[b4_ford]

Didn't take the time to thank the RSI crew yet, so thanks for hosting! Pat, my son is still talking non-stop about the R/C truck. He wants to go visit you everyday...

[Group A]

Or legal!Only thing not legal is the cam gear and he's still running his novice races to get his competition license so that's not a big deal at the moment.

Pat, my son is still talking non-stop about the R/C truck. He wants to go visit you everyday...Haha, glad I could help. :-P

[Jordan]

Are there no pictures?

[Renny_D]

Damn, engine fires suck, my poor car still hasn't recovered but thankfully I have all the bits except a new set of wires now to get cracking. Sorry I missed it but since it is a first annual hopefully there will be a second annual :-)

Hopefully there will be a track day or two this year also for me. And second on the pictures.

thanks
Renny

Sorry we didn't get to hang out for longer at the show... Essie had to get back home for work.

So, where are the pictures/vids of the track day and such???
