who put u in charge of anything? :scratch:

[enRo]

Im in. If it goes past 10:00PM, ill be an early departure.

[NJSPEEDER]

he has to walk under the staging lights to make sure they are set high enough

[Savage_Messiah]

who put u in charge of anything? :scratch:

the owner of the track.. biyatch :finger:

[Tsar]

the owner of the track.. biyatch :finger:
so what do u have to do?

[enRo]

so what do u have to do?

Guard the gate, and bite ankles when commanded.

[camaroAL]

oh hell yeah!

[Tsar]

Guard the gate, and bite ankles when commanded.
:rofl:

[qwikz28]

is this gonna be an evening thing? i assume so cause of school and work and stuff but just checkin

[PBodyGT87]

I don't get out school on thursdays til 5. there' no way that's enough time for me to be ready and go and run. but i wish i could.

[Squirrel]

neg

[Rich189]

wish i could but i can normally only make stuff friday and sat nights if they are more then 20-30 mins from my house

[V]

I'm in

[Batman]

I'll pencil it in, but no promises if work takes me away. i am dying to get some runs in, even on street tires.

[Balla]

I have classes on thursday, but if I'm feeling peachy I'll skip and head down.

[Ian]

I'll try and make it. I get out of work at 6 so I'd probably be there by7:30. if thats too late then I'll just stay home.

[35thls1ss19]

i am there :)

[jbergan]

Cound me in! I'm new to this, but I live close to Island!

[79CamaroDiva]

this will be an afternoon thing again, same as last time, we won't turn on the track lights, and by that time of year the days are shorter.. we gave over a month because wanted to give everyone enough notice to take off work if need be. its POSSIBLE to move it two weeks up, the day would be a little longer, but don't know if we would lose anyone because they don't have the notice to take off work.


BTW, last time we charged $10 for all the runs you could get plus food... is there anyone who wouldn't come if it was $15? It will still be a one lane thing, not to mention the good september air.. just trying to make it a little less of a hit on the track. Obviously this is not being done for any kind of profit but because the track likes the club ;)

[radialtireking]

I'm out.:cry: Too close to the car show in Ocean City. If I break anything I won't be able to get it fixed in time.

I would say $15 is still a killer deal to have a private day at the track. I usually pay $150 or so to get in to a track rental and this is basically the same thing.

[Bandit]

To far for me..

[Silent Z]

I've never been to a meet or raced on the track. This should be fun count me in!

[Batman]

I can definately do the 14th, not sure about the 28th

[NP_00'T/A]

i'll try and make it !

[GP99GT]

im down. maybe i can get my 14 with the cooler air

[Tru2Chevy]

I could prolly make either week.

- Justin

[enRo]

im down. maybe i can get my 14 with the cooler air

You hitting 14's is like Kasey hitting a growth spurt :lol: :finger:

[GP99GT]

You hitting 14's is like Kasey hitting a growth spurt :lol: :finger:

stfu noah

i got a new best 60' on sunday but i dunno what was up the rest of the way down the track. 2.08 60' with a 15.1x @ 90.4mph...best run is a 2.1x 60' 15.08 @ 89

[its Jeanne-Marie]

i can't do the 28th, i have the LSAT on the 30th and i'll be being mega studious =( have funnn

[enRo]

stfu noah

i got a new best 60' on sunday but i dunno what was up the rest of the way down the track. 2.08 60' with a 15.1x @ 90.4mph...best run is a 2.1x 60' 15.08 @ 89

You'll get there in September of 2008 :-P :j/k:

[12secondv6]

I think this might be doable.

Air will be good.

I'll try and take the day off.

$15 is still a great day for a "private" track day.

I'm thinking N/A..... maybe there is some more weight I can get out of my car before then..... 26XX?????

[project89]

if i still have the rs by then and its fixed ill be down.gota make up for that horrible showing at the nats :(

[baddest434]

i'm actually going to try and get that day off work to make it. 15 bucks is a hell of a deal imo. cost me about 70 bucks in gas though to get there:lol:

[enRo]

i am there :)

Bring that grill!! :lol:

[V]

this gives me an idea...

Melissa, can you PM me with track regulationsrequirements for bikes if allowed that day.(apparel, gear, teather, etc) :-D

[Savage_Messiah]

F you... spray the bitch.. ****, I'll even buy you a new button since AFAIK your broken dollar store button is your main excuse :razz:

[12secondv6]

Blah blah blah..... there won't be a lot of VHT being sprayed down..... why chance it on the bottle?

If I'm going to spray... I'll wait till either E town or Island have a big event (fast cars) and I'll make sure I'm there the next time they open... also I'll wait till weather is perfect!

[NJSPEEDER]

one thing we coudl do if you are willing to take at least a few short shots, 60-330ft pulls, is mess with the suspension a bit and get it optimized for when you do spray the car for a full pass.
it can jerk the fronts for a moment N/A now, we can fix it so it digs in and carries them when you unleash the bottle 8)

[Brando56894]

depending on whether i have my car or not at slutgers, if i have it ill be there

[WayFast84]

Im going to say

Maybe

Its a school day, I get out at 2:30 Id have to get picked up.

And ill only go If I can bring my car, but I wont have it raced....unless some one I trust wants to run it...

[tastyle88]

im in only thing is ive got a 95 mustang now lmao

Bring your car and race it..... maybe I'll spray then ;)

[NJSPEEDER]

Bring your car and race it..... maybe I'll spray then ;)

hit me up on AIM and we will discuss that :grampsch:

[project89]

well as it stands now i wont have the rs.
but i will attend with the 87 iroc

[Batman]

I am still going to try and go but my motor is kaput and I don't think the new one will be ready in time for me. Oh well, maybe I can race in October. Maybe I can race the 84.....

[NJSPEEDER]

bring the 84 and get the rest of the new york crew to come down. it is gonna be a good time :)

[Batman]

I can rock like a 16.5 int he 84, but she'll do it all day long! Besides I am trying to sell her, maybe someone will bite....

[unstable bob gable]

Nutz, I gotta work. And the bossman is already on my azz about taking time off, SO gotta be a no-show. :(

[NJSPEEDER]

The door prize thing has been added to this meet as well :)

*Edit: Just for fun we will be adding a little door prize raffle to this meet. We are gonna keep the prize a secreet until the meet, but the tickets will only be $2 each. The prize is worth a good bit more than that

[garretwp]

[Tru2Chevy]

Sounds great....hopefully we'll get some more great pictures from this meet!

- Justin

[FESTER]

I'm somewhat new also but I'll be there This will be second time there I was there on 8/21 it was fun cant wait:nod:

[TheWraith]

what are the hours going to be? I'm possibly in, pending getting a bit further on tuning my iroc

[Tru2Chevy]

The start time is still up in the air. We are looking to start a little earlier than last time, since it will be getting dark earlier. I think we started at 5 last time....

Racing will only last until sunset, then the track is ours for hanging out and eating more BBQ for a few more hours.

- Justin

yea justin if you can let us know what time the racing will be. from when to when. sunsets what around 8 o'clock now.
will the bbq be before and after racing?

[Savage_Messiah]

after... maybe during the end too IIRC... i dunno

[Tru2Chevy]

yea justin if you can let us know what time the racing will be. from when to when. sunsets what around 8 o'clock now.
will the bbq be before and after racing?

As soon as a start time is decided it will be posted by Tim, Melissa, or myself.

Last time the BBQ was going pretty much the entire time. I imagine it will be pretty much the same this time.

- Justin

[Jclt12003]

I'll be there as long as i don't have anything going on as of right now i can't really think of anything so most likely be there but not running.

Jason

[GP99GT]

[angin52]

count me in if i dont sell the car first

[j0n]

yea ill prolly be there...if all goes well the next couple weeks the crapalier will NOT be in attendance :D

[12secondv6]

I guess I should get motiviated then and get the bird ready right??

[misterjuice]

can i race my CLK???

[NJSPEEDER]

race wuteva ya want. :)

[ShitOnWheels]

If I go (I'll be there if James goes), I'll bring the E :) I'll have it broken in by then...of course I"m assuming I get it next week...gives me 3 weeks of driving back and forth to school to break it in :)

[NJSPEEDER]

1 nice set of donuts in a parking lot = 3 weeks of casual driving.

i dunno why everyone drags their feet about this "breaking in the car" crap. it is under warranty, enjoy it............at the manufacturers expense :D

[NJSPEEDER]

[enRo]

"breaking in" is relative. Since it's a lease, I don't particularly care. I don't know how to do under 65 on the highway, so there won't be much of a chance of that, lol.

[12secondv6]

Uh ohhhhhhhsssss, clk maybe dipping into th 12's????

Genie going mid/ low 14's ;)

Do we have a definate time as of yet? I will proably get there early.... to beat the traffic.

Thanks!

[GreatSave9]

Sounds interesting, I'm asking around in my area to try to get acouple guys to go up from PA here. It's just an easy hop over the river for us and its a nice ride. I assume other cars are welcome like Mustang Cobras.

[Tru2Chevy]

[jimmyboy8301]

wow i just saw this thread, i'm going to try my best to make it

[Brando56894]

ill be there if i can get a ride up there from someone around here. jew? j0n?

[79CamaroDiva]

i just have one question...... why am i not on the list??

[Tru2Chevy]

i just have one question...... why am i not on the list??

Happy now? :razz:

- Justin

[qwikz28]

i'll probably be there

[Brando56894]

i just have one question...... why am i not on the list??

cuz we all know your not gonna go

[slasherbarb]

i'll be there...don't know if i'll skip my 2pm class and go then or wait till later...but we shall see...

[angin52]

i'm already on the list, but i have a question for 79 camaro diva- do i have to leave the mufflers on?

[12secondv6]

I just put in for a 1/2 a day :)

[omarcamaro]

ill go

[12secondv6]

Looks like a decent amount of people!

Any guesses on expected # of runs?

[NP_00'T/A]

i got like 15 the last time and that was with my car cooling down for like 15 min in between

[Ian]

hopefully I can make it there before the racing stops...I have a free pass to drive j0n's T/A 8)

[Savage_Messiah]

2pm till dusk... sounds like we'll get a goood amount of runs in

[Teds89IROC]

hmm, I have class 3:30-4:45, I think I may have to miss it

~Ted

[BigAls87Z28]

due to recent change of schedual, I might be able to make it.

ninja edit: nope nevermind the 2 normal days off that week will be put twards adding onto my vacation.

[PBodyGT87]

I think I'll be coming down with justin, but not running. I dont get out of class til 5 and there's no sense in me getting the car all the way down there to maybe squeeze in time for one or two runs before it gets dark.

[jimmyboy8301]

ill be there if i can get a ride up there from someone around here. jew? j0n?

if you come to my house you can ride up with me. also why aren't i on the list i'm COMING!

[Batman]

I think mI am going to have to pass, if I get back on time from my trip this week I will be in Afghanistan all next week :p . Hopefully We'll be a day or two late.....

[GP99GT]

ill be there...in a different car now.:twisted:

[Tru2Chevy]

I think I'll be coming down with justin, but not running. I dont get out of class til 5 and there's no sense in me getting the car all the way down there to maybe squeeze in time for one or two runs before it gets dark.

I might be heading up there early Lizzie....my request to leave early from work has not yet been approved, but it prolly will be. I'll keep you posted....

- Justin
