The 2009 East Coast F-body Nationals will be held at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ on Sunday, August 9th. You don't have to wait around for the main even to get out to the track though, we will be kicking the weekend off with the traditional F-body vs. Mustang action on during Island Dragway's Friday Street Night on August 7th.
The 2009 East Coast Nats are set to feature four exciting drag racing classes, two index and two traditional brackets, as well as the great car show that we have all come to expect from the NJFBOA's Anniversary celebration.
While the action on the track and show field will be all about GM's pony car platform, everyone is welcome. As with all of our great NJFBOA events it is open to all owners, friends, and fans of the F-body platform.
FRIDAY NIGHT STREET FIGHT: F-BODY vs. MUSTANG:
Date: Friday, August 7th
Time: Gates open at 5:30

Good idea with the index classes. I guess I will be running in the 10.0 index. That is if the car ever gets finished over at Kasper's. Got some trick new front end parts going on the car taking out some weight. Dumb thing better be together by then or i might be in jail for it not being done. :shock:

I might try to make it. It sounds like a good time. I just don't like the idea of putting mufflers on the bird to run the street class. Oh well, it might sound good.

I won't be able to make it this year. I have commintments at another track for that weekend (Saturday and Sunday). Perhaps I can bring up the Mustang on Friday night. I spent the past weekend setting up the 14 second pony to shallow stage. He's ready to stomp some F-body's.

I'll be foot breaking my daily driver on DOT (BF Goodrich Drag Radials) tires with the factory stock mufflers. I don't care if the F-bodies use open headers, slicks, and electronics. They will need it. Pony Up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will probably be there some nights to watch, and I will try to get the '84 TA to the Nationals in August. Its not in the best shape but I will bring it into the show as a "survivor", because it is one. All original except for the tow bar in the back and that L69/LG4 hybrid motor swap. The motor was free. I still have the original numbers matching block for future rebuild.

04-19-2009, 08:56 PM
I might make a couple runs. But at best I am a high 14 sec car. 14.8 at best maybe. But I am most likely going to be running 15s and 16s, even then, thats if I ever do make a couple runs.

There are usually meet up / cruise threads started by the middle of July in each of the regional sections. If you are planning on racing and / or showing make sure you get there early! Once a long line forms it can take a while to get into the track.

Any chance you guys would put aside 2 lanes for grudge racing? I know the F-body Nationals is all about F-bodies but I have noticed a bunch of hostility amongst members! What better way to put an end to it than in front of the whole F-body community at NJFBOA's biggest track event of the year. If not, dont shoot me, I was just throwing it out there!

We don't officially have grudge lanes open as part of the event, but Island does run a test n tune at the same time, so if you wanna show up and issue a challenge or two, there should be plenty of opportunity to do so :)

I've been wondering the same thing. Right now its still possible I might have the TA at the nats.....can't say for sure yet though (my timing is still off and the damn crankshaft bolt is rounding on me.:evil:) After I get it running the plan is to have Q plates and a regular insurance policy, so no mileage limits and no inspections. I'll probably go anyway for a day of racing and fun.

lol the good news is I finally got the car running. I've been working on it between school, work, and everything else in life for the past five years. The ifs are probably irrelevant. Me and my brother are thinking of going to Maine a couple weeks after my Mom and sister go up (they are going up the week of the nationals). The Paperwork should be done by next week at the earliest. Tires and exhaust should follow the paperwork shortly thereafter.

I will be there, whether I have the 84 TA is still up in the air. I had to push the muffler shop back a week because of an exploded armature. Did a couple test runs. It runs good, loafing at 55 MPH. Again, I'll be there, car still a question mark, if I have it it will be in the show as an original motor swap survivor, and a beat up one at that.

Class Exceptions:Any vehicle that is running unmuffled exhaust or a back halved/tubbed or converted suspension system will be bumped from the Street Bracket into the Pro Dial Bracket.
So you would be put in Pro Dial Bracket if you don't want to run mufflers. :shrug:

That puts a HUGE BOTTLENECK on getting into the track, as everyone sits there waiting for 11:00, you also have the sloooooowdown at the ticket booth:rofl:. By the time we actually get in and set-up, it's almost noon and the show is over around 3-4:00. Even if you get there early (say 9:00) that means just sitting there for almost 2 hours. If that's the way is, then so be it. Can't change it this late in the game!

I'm facing a possible pass on this year's meet. I picked up a second job for some extra money and I got scheduled to work on Sunday even though I asked for it off. Apparently a lot of other folks wanted that day off as well so the prospects of finding someone to work for me are very slim.

Sorry guys but I won't make it. I was going to go for sure and was also going to bring the TA with me due to how it was running. (was running good enough to take a chance on a run, not leaking a damn thing and did runs at temp for long enough to justify giving it a try) My mom is having me run up to Maine to pick up my sister over the weekend. Hope its a blast for all going.
If I get the car back from the mechanic by tomorrow afternoon there is a shot of some of you seeing me. There is a cruise night at the NJ State Fair at the Fairgrounds in Augusta. Starting at 5. I will be there along with my brother. As I said I might have the TA there if its back in time. Other than that, look for me and the car at the Chatterbox.

The last four years we have had rain in the forecast each year for this event, and only once has it actually rained before we were able to complete the days activities.

It's not so easy to reschedule a racing event since the track is probably booked up the rest of the season.

The track's number is 908-637-6060 - they will make an official call most likely between 9:30 and 10, so feel free to call after 9:30 - or sign up for their PageGroups notification if you haven't already: http://www.pagegroups.com/

That's what I would figure. The really nice cars won't be coming out with it still raining right now and the roads wet. It might be clear and dry later for racing, but the nice cars will still be in the garage. :-?
