Nick's mystery friends (3-8 ranging from an LS1 Camaro to a TT LS2 GTO)

[BonzoHansen]

Open!

[coolmanvette75]

Put me in as maybe but doubtful. I doubt the car will make it out of the jsfboa nats in one piece. But if it does, I'm in...

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

So come up in a regular car! Even moreso than a regular meet, this one will be just as fun without a car. There's already cars drag racing and you don't need an f-body to eat at a restaurant with friends.

[mc73nova]

I'm down + wifey. I know I should try to branch out more for the other meets but this is an easy one for me to attend.

T&D

[PolarBear]

[TheV6Guy]

[WildBillyT]

Probably

[88WS-6]

Yes for both

[68bird]

[LS1ow]

ill be coming out of giants stadium area if you wanna meet there. i plan on takin 17 to 80 to island.

[68bird]

Ok it looks like the Firebird's not going to be ready and tested in time but I'll still try to come and watch and I'm definitely still in for dinner.

[ib4200]

im a maybe for both. all or nothing

[The BIG Show]

It's been way too long for me. I'll be in the daily driver since the WS6 has been in Arizona for about 6 years.

Anyway, I'm a 99% T&D. Will have 1, maybe 2 kids with me.

[coolmanvette75]

I should be there, regardless of my car's status. T&D

[Stupercharged]

Count me in for T & D

[88WS-6]

I may be running the Suzuki so everyone better look out. I'm taking the slowest of the day award.

[68bird]

I may be running the Suzuki so everyone better look out. I'm taking the slowest of the day award.

We may share that title. I may run the Liberty just to make a few passes.
I've never raced on any type of track before (outside of F1 Karting).

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Liberty's run high 16s, I've raced my buddy's sister in hers when I was in my truck. I ran slower but treed her :mrgreen:. Dunno how fast the Suzuki is.

[88WS-6]

Ok maybe the Liberty takes the slowest award then. I've seen a best of 15.8 1/4 mile for my Sport GTS but I'm not holding my breath. I've only been driving stick for 3 months anyway.

[LS1ow]

[townsend]

[LS1ow]

[88WS-6]

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

think ill pass tech with a cracked winshield?

Depends how bad it is :-P

[88fbird]

88fbird yes

[88WS-6]

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

All of you maybes or people who are thinking of coming, I need a head count to call Applebees soon. Supposed to be gorgeous weather.

Does anyone have a spare fire jacket or willing to let my friend borrow one? He has a TT GTO and wants to run. He wears a size XL shirt

[LS1ow]

[PolarBear]

[DAcoatAH]

[ib4200]

[JL8Jeff]

I'm going to try and make it. It looks like it's supposed to be pretty windy on Saturday, do they shut down or only run 1/8th mile if it's too windy?

[coolmanvette75]

Me and beggs should be down. I'll be riding co-pilot with him

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Maybes, you need to be definites! And what time is everyone planning on getting there?

Don't forget we will be going to Applebees at 5:30 regardless of weather conditions - even if Island doesn't open we are doing dinner. No rain date.

[coolmanvette75]

[Cycule]

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I'm leaving in about an hour. Do we need to do anything special for tech? How many runs do you think we will get?

Decent amount. There's some brackets so it'll be a bit more limited than normal but it all depends on how many people show up.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

[drmrman]

You have my number. Just send me a txt a day or 2 before?

[JL8Jeff]

I was planning on going to the track since I haven't seen any racing all year, but I had a tree split in half at some point overnight/early morning and Saturday is the only day I can get the tree/branch stuff over to the drop off. So I spent most of the day cutting up and transporting tree parts! :cry: I thought I could get it done by 2 but that didn't happen. Sounds like it was pretty windy up there like it was here.
