In

The pricing is a bit confusing, so It's 20 per person for the day spectating, then $5 to park per person to park regardless? So essentially $25 per person for the day?

[Blackbirdws6]

Anyone going to be attending besides Bear and I?

$20 to spectate and $5 to park a car. It's not $5 per person to park unless each person is taking their car.

[PolarBear]

Zorns will probably be with me

Most of us Usual South guys are going to Roadhouse. Not alot of interest in MNJMSP from the folks I have talked to.

Kind of a shame considering they are on two separate weekends.

IDK. I can tell you for me I really dont feel like sitting watching. I would much rather go there on the days that you can actually race your own car around the track. NJMSP is cool but most of us go to Atco down here to race or watch as its 15.00 to race and 10.00 to spectate. The Roadhouse meet is nice because we hang out for a couple hours and afterwards we cruise to the shore or other car shows around the area. Its usually very nice weather.

[PolarBear]

I think we plan on BBQ, but since no one has really responded, that is kind of out.

I think this is more fun than going to the drag strip. That is the same ole same ole. Lemons is funny because of the themes and then you also get to see all the road course action, crashes, parts falling off cars. You can go to many different points around the track to watch and you can walk around the pits and see how the crews are doing things. Plus there are other things that happen behind the scenes. This is a lot more to see than a day at the drag strip

[Blackbirdws6]

As of today, they are calling for guaranteed rain during the middle of the day for Saturday. Sunday is likely the better option but is anyone besides who posted interested in attending?

[Blackbirdws6]

Looks like the forecast got a whole lot better so it should be a nice day. I will be there in the G8 with a few others.

Yes for Saturday and negative on the BBQ. If you are bringing one, I can pull some stuff together but it looks to be a small group. My Dad and sister will be tagging along with me.

[PolarBear]

I dont have anything for BBQ, I guess we will just hit Wawa on the way down.

[sweetbmxrider]

Ya I don't have a way to haul **** down there, mostly a grill.

Does this meet count towards the attendance race?

[PolarBear]

That is the slowest car here

[PolarBear]

Like so slow it shouldn't be on the track

[BonzoHansen]

it's an endurance race! lol

[PolarBear]

it's an endurance race! lol

That doesn't matter if everone else is lapping the crap out of you.

Found thi;

The UDC is based on a 1.3-liter Ford Festiva unibody—obviously—and thus isn’t likely to top the leaderboards

[BonzoHansen]

is this correct?

*Blackbirdws6
*PolarBear
*Zorns

[PolarBear]

[Blackbirdws6]

Correct. Adam was not there.

For your sake, I hope you can handle it. Those guys got up and raced all day. You stayed in bed.

^^^ Saw them working on that car while I was walking around the pits. I didn't see the accident but the miata catching on fire was entertaining.

[PolarBear]

That was a really nice color camaro.

Turns out the car was originally white, they painted it orange just for this

[sweetbmxrider]

I figured as much. Does look good and what a great idea.
