Tell me about Irwindale?
- Thread starter Mach4.6
- Start date
I have gotten there right when the gates open at 4 and gotten as many as 6 runs in and that was even leaving around 7. I think it gets more crowded the later it gets.
I think it is too hot to go out this week for me, but I want to go again soon

have an itch to go but need a need a place to leave the cooler and some tools
I usually get about 1 run every hour. I usually go from 6-9pm. Oh and by best runs have been in the left lane.
Gates open at 4 and racing starts at 5pm, like everyone said the later you get there the more crowded it's going to be. Either way you'll have fun, I always do :-D
Ive noticed it be emptier then normal now that Fontana is
Open.
Open.
If you have never raced Irwindale be prepared to pass tech and have the correct safety gear for the times you are running. The tech guys are cool about it, trying to teach you the rules, but they will flag you if something isn't right. Seems like I learn something new every time I go through tech!
It's a great track but they at times they can be a bit too strict but overall its good. Depends on the days, last time I went with my brother it took about 2 hours to get one run it was on a Saturday morning though.
IMO Famoso is better but still nice at Irwindale.

Last time I went to Irwindale I noticed I'd roll forward when letting off the brakes once I staged. I think it was the left lane only. Drove me nuts. :shrug:
past two times ive dealt with tech, ive been told two different things by the same idiot tech guy, I didn't care last time I went I was only making 1 pass that night (racing someone)
Last time my cage was not certified but I was missing an sfi balancer, he okayed it to 6.40s second time cage was certified and he okayed it to 7.40s. he said cause the balancer. Sure dick next time I will give him hell and will have the rule book with me. I got everything on my car now to be legal to 8.50s in the 1/4 so whatever that is in the 1/8

The prep stinks but, it is a lot of fun if you just want to get out and hammer down. As stated prior, if your'e there at 4PM and ready to race at 5, I've done as many as 12 passes and still leave at 9:30 provided no wrecks or oil downs. The first six passes will pretty much be hot laps though. You didn't state your power but, on street tires you'll probably only need a D.O.T. M2005 or better helmet.
What upcoming mods do you have in store for her?
Just got long tubes, cat deletes, shorty x, boss manifold 
and a C&L intake. Going to get everything installed and tuned soon and planning on getting a Paxton/vortech in the near future. Roy, I saw your car run and it's fn fast. Have you ever considered getting set of wings so you can just land on the 10 freeway? Haha
