I may show up with the daily driver to make a few passes with a guy in a similar car.

I'm going to see if I can weasel my way out of a horrible dinner party and get out to Island tonight instead.

I know for a fact there will be more NJFBOA'ers there tonight than this thread leads on! ;)

I was there running a Blue Focus ST. 15.8, 15.3, 16.1 (spun tires playing with TC settings), 15.3, and 15.6 (spun tires but not as bad as the first time, playing again the the TC settings). Guy I know from the Focus ST forums was running the black ST that broken into the mid 14s. His was modded, mine was stock. Hot night too. Great crowd, great cars. mc73Nova, which nova were you? There were quite a few there. I know there were a host of F bodies, some seemed familiar, but between the hot lapping and the comparing notes and the long ass traffic jam to get in, I didn't ask anyone.

I was the 73 Nova running slow as hell! I only made 3 passes early, best I could get was an 11.20 pass. Spun the first two passes, they prepped the track for the third and it hooked perfect but I was trying a borrowed converter and it was way wrong. Switched out converters this afternoon, I'll be there tomorrow running the Nostalgia Nats.
