atco rental 10-20-09 [Archive] - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

Mike whose sponsoring the rental? Anything included...thought the going rate was $200 a car...

me.

rental for 10-15 cars = $3000

additional prep for one lane = $300

3300 divided by 15 cars = $220 each.

that is exact pricing, i am not trying to make a penny off this, i am trying to host a rental for the simple reason that i want to attend one.

How strict are they about running faster than 11.5 on track rentals without a cage?

Mike

09-30-2009, 09:51 AM

i guess it depends how obviously quicker...the score boards arent on, and last time i was there there was no one in the tower, we got our own timeslips

DadsZ28

09-30-2009, 08:54 PM

I was spectating at one 2 yrs. ago and the scoreboards were on, I hope they are so we all can see everyones times , thats half the fun of knowing them before they do.:mrgreen:

Oh ok I've always steered away as I usually just go get one run in and get kicked out. Not really looking to cage the car but I guess I can run a few times with the bottle on and the rest off. Still debating.

the one i was at the boards were off, but the slips came from the printer at the starting line, so the people at the line knew before the driver anyway

Should be a good time for sure. Hopefully I can get this car off the line decently as I don't have much issue shifting it down the track. Should have plenty of opportunity to learn the car with its current setup.

mike whats our plans on food? i know you said you had a grill you could bring. i'll bring some dogs and burgers and rolls and some drinks. should we have everyone bring something and maybe another grill or just worry about ourselves.

i think if everyone plans on bringing one or 2 things we should have more than enough for a good lunch. i am going to talk to my dad and my local buddy (cant put a grill in my trailblazer) and then post up

Yea keep an eye on it. He dropped it in the mail on the 12th so it will probably be there today or tomorrow. Just let me know if you didn't because he is planning on attending.

Mike

Yea keep an eye on it. He dropped it in the mail on the 12th so it will probably be there today or tomorrow. Just let me know if you didn't because he is planning on attending.

as i told you via im, i got it yesterday, cashed and added to the file today. also for everyones information i received another commitment (deposit) from a ls1tech member.

we have enough commitments that the only thing standing in our way is the weather. :). but we still have a couple spots available so keep your eyes and ears open for some last minute interest

i have a grill taken care of, ill check on my propane. we are going to need the usual: burgers, dogs, porkroll, buns, cheese, condiments, soda/water, ice, coolers. i guess the easiest thing to do would be to post up with what your planning to bring and then we will worry about whatever is missing afterwards...

i will also have 2 ezup's but we will need some folding chairs.

ill have my jack, trackside tools, and snapon electric impact, these will be available to anyone in need..

Blackbirdws6

10-20-2009, 05:46 PM

Had a good time as well and it was nice seeing some I already new and meet new people. So close to the 11's but oh well. I got a ton of valuable seat time and if I get the nitrous hitting right as I launch I should be in business. Car trapped a high of 121+ even after the car would get flooded with fuel before the nitrous would hit and spray the rest of the way.

All in all, I'm very comfortable with launching the car which was my goal and I drove home without issue. Can't beat that.

I'll be working on the vids through the week.

Give me a few weeks. I'm just starting to piece together the list. Just been really busy with school, work, college ****. Hopefully the first week of november I can get the car torn apart and make it something to compete with you. It should move out pretty good...probably gonna have to step up to a 27" tire though.
