[Whiplash Performance]

I'm probably not gunna make it. I need to have a garage sale this weekend to make some money, which sucks :(

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

FYI weather isn't looking great that day. I can't make it either way though...I'll be down the shore picking up the boat/jet ski.

[TAdan]

The weather forecast is killing me :( Do I get the 25th out of storage or not? Will the roads be dry/clear? AHHHHH!

[firebirdcrazy]

Spot showers here and there is the forcast. So its a hot or miss this weekend on rain

This is another of those FN forecasts where it MAY shower, there MAY be T-Storms or MAYBE rain, but they don't know when it will happen. If it is raining in the morning, the show will be canceled until a later date, but if it starts to rain early in the afternoon and you pays your money and get just ONE run in, and they can't dry the track, you still will NOT get your money back:-x. Plus if your in the car show and it starts to rain, it's not too much fun to sit in your car and hope it stops and DRYS out soon.:rofl::rofl::rofl: This was the day I was hoping to catch a buyer for the Formula, being that the crowd there was mostly PONTIAC friendly!

the way they have been predicting the weather the past 2 weeks, if they say its gonna rain it will be sunny and if they sunny with no rain (like today, and last saturday) then it will rain

so weather looks perfect for saturday :rofl:

[edpontiac91]

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

[LS1 4Good]

I might have to go for this.. how much to GO?

Edit: NVM its $50 for GONE and $30 to race.

[firebirdcrazy]

Here its usually 30 for both show and race

[edpontiac91]

Here its usually 30 for both show and race

It's $40.00 for both or $20.00 just for the show and $30.00 just for racing!

[LS1 4Good]

I read on the website for GTO GONE its $50 :( I guess thats show and go.. I'll just be racing then! Looking for a 12.9! Wish me luck!

[EchoMirage]

the road course has a track day the same day, if anyone is interested in stopping by. find out that there is more to racing then just stab & steer in a straight line.

[LS1 4Good]

Ehh I'm gonna go to Pontiac Nationals on Halloween at Atco instead!

[mtg6486]

the show was really good awsome turnout who was there?

[LuvMyF8LWS6]

I was eliminated in round #2 because I had 0 traction lol However, the time trials they ran too, took over 3 hours for 1 round! Stupid Civics kept breaking!! I ran round 1 at 3pm, and round 2 at 7:45.... got too cold and my tires didnt hook...

But.... Stupid stupid stupid Civics gambling teams broke out into not 1, but 3 friggin fights... 2 being like brawls.... Which held up soooo much time. Morons even broke out into punching fights under the tower, not just in the lanes.... I have a few pics of that. We witnessed 1 guy getting clocked right in the face... He was bloody afterwards. But no arrests, no real cops. Nothing.

But it was a HUGE turn out. The track was def not prepared for this turn out. It was so confusing... We didnt even know until 2pm what lanes we were in. Tech said they didnt even know where to put us. Wish my tires would hook because sooooo many people left early because of the wait... before round 2, about half had already dropped out.... Would have been great! Oh wells....

I think one of the track officials said it was the WORST Test & Tune in the history of the event. No Old Bridge cops were called and the two "Raceway Park" security cars and personal did nothing but lean against their vehicles and watch. Track grip went into the toilet as night came and it seemed like NOBODY in charge seemed to know what to do with the "Import Crowd". I won my class, but I found out early it was best to walk it out of hole and then get on it.

How was the car show portion? I didnt go, the roads were too gross in the morning to bring the cars out.

[firebirdcrazy]

Car Show? Put it this way a kid that judged my car let it out that he didnt know much about Firebirds took 30 seconds and walked away. Like the visa commercial the look on my face was priceless!!!!

Plus they gave out NO goodie bags/ NO dash plaques and HPP magazine was NOT even there and SLP had 1 car on display. It was like this show was an after thought. Even the awards were the same cheap crap crossed flag plaques that I have from shows 4 and 5 years ago. For an event that has been put on for 29 years, it seems to get worse every year.

I have a stack of those stupid things. :lol:

The event has had the misfortune of changing dates, and having crazy weather for several years now. I think those two factors have really been killing it.

It has been a long time since the car show area was full.

As Firebirdcrazy said the "judging" in recent years can also leave alot to be desired.

[dman88]

ya know i was going to this show and i could not wait and something sunday morning told me dont go so i went to a car show that was rite on rt 9 at oasis chevy and from wat you guys said im happy i went to this other show and got a nice trophy.
