[BonzoHansen]

Let's start again considering the date is a few weeks away now. There are too many links out there in webland so I just cleaned up so we can start fresh.

[NJ Torque]

I should be able to make this one.

[79camaro]

Im in and racing. Maybe with a spectator.

[WayFast84]

If I'm free I'll head up there with the WRX and get a baseline before a tune.

[Jersey Mike]

Pending the start time of family function, I should be able to make it.

[Blackbirdws6]

Should be good plus 1

[nj02z]

I will be there with at least two other cars.

[omarcamaro]

can't make this one work schedule change

[ThoR294]

should be good and a +1.

got my headers in, just need to tweak the steering shaft or put a LS1 shaft in :)

[Paul Huryk]

At this point yes. But as with every other event, something customer related always comes up at the last minute. Spectate only...

[heavy_chevy29]

i should be good for that day.

[V]

I'm gonna try to make this.

[FlyingDutchman]

Dam, brother's wedding that weekend, can't make it.

[creeper]

Dam, brother's wedding that weekend, can't make it.

...to the wedding

I may be available that weekend

[foxriderry]

I wont be able to make it, unless the trump closes early, the g/f and I are supposed to go see a concert there that day

[L695speed]

I was easily gonna make the original date, but 10/11 is the AACA Fall Meet at Hershey, gonna be out there instead. If I don't make the regular October meet at the show, will be it for me til the Wild Wings meet in February if that is going to be a normal thing.

[YMMV]

I am going to see if I can get that Saturday off. If I can, I will be making some baseline passes. Its been about 5 years since I last made a pass. lol.

[12secondv6]

I'll be there

[amargari]

Hoping to be there and make a few runs.

[Street Lethal]

Never raced at Island Dragway before, maybe we'll come down and check it out...

[ThoR294]

Currently I'm a maybe. Lady friend has some possible other plans.....

[BonzoHansen]

you need to fix that lol

[ThoR294]

you need to fix that lol

Lol story of my life. #gfthathatescarsproblems

[BonzoHansen]

Bump, the ante is upped!

http://www.njfboa.org/Meet_Info/FBN2014.png

[heavy_chevy29]

is there going to be a decent amount of 9.99 and quicker cars?

[BonzoHansen]

no idea, you'll have to come out and see!

[79camaro]

Will there be njfboa hoodies for sale? Hopefully in XXL

[fraxum]

Can 5th Gens come? (edit: Yes) I have never been to Island, only to Atco and Cecil.

I would run T&T.

Sounds like fun if I can make it.

[Ian]

I'll be there. :shock:

[ThoR294]

According to the site it's not fbody brackets

[CGMSS]

I'll come up for some runs. Car may not be as clean as I'd like.

[Jersey Mike]

We're going to have quite the showing this month.

[ThoR294]

So..... Is it fbody nationals or "Test/Tune plus Gamblers & Impalas" like the site says ? Lol

[NJSPEEDER]

Due to the date change our planned gathering got rolled in with the other activities planned at the track.

This year it isn't a full blown East Coast Nats as we have held in the past. For this year things are slimmed down to the three racing classes and hanging out together. You can expect the return of the larger event in 2015.

-Tim

[ThoR294]

alright so its fbody nationals and the gamblers & impalas? awesome. island needs this attention!

[WildBillyT]

alright so its fbody nationals and the gamblers & impalas? awesome. island needs this attention!

I believe Impalas were there in past years as well.

[MyFirstZ]

I'll be there and my buddies 600hp cobra as well. Both racing

[TaKid455]

Will there be a second rain date?

Depends on storm path and pressure from the north to hold it down.

[ThoR294]

hopefully its only the morning!

[12secondv6]

I'm ready....challenger is clean....looks like test n tune for me....cause the fbodies are scared of my land yact! :nod::lol:

[CGMSS]

^ That boat moves pretty good. What do you have for rear tires?

[NJSPEEDER]

The way things are looking at the moment the rain should be tapering off around 10ish and cleared out completely by around 11ish. It's looking like we will be in good shape.

[IROCZman15]

I'll be there for a few hours; we had previous night-time plans so I'm only coming by as a spectator and bringing the wife along. Prob be there from 2-4ish. Was thinking about racing the truck, but it will have to wait for another time. In +1 Spectate only (unless it's raining in the afternoon.. then not going to make it at all)

[12secondv6]

^ That boat moves pretty good. What do you have for rear tires?

I got a 12.29 with the stock 245 50 20 all season tires

I then put my old jeep srt8 rear tires (285 40 20 all season) on the back and now got the 12.19 with a best of 1.795 60 ft.

I'd love to put a drag radial on the back to see what it can do as I'm launching off idle.

[The_Bishop]

I may show as spectator. My drag radials are so old that I don't trust them to hold together anymore, and I have no interest in trying to get any sort of traction on street tires.

[NJSPEEDER]

Rain out!!!

No racing today.

[CGMSS]

DAG NABBIT!

[amargari]

Rain Date?

[BonzoHansen]

Nada. It's not meant to be this year.

[grazi]

I think we should crash jersey mikes house.

[Jersey Mike]

I have a tiny apartment (which I am currently trying to figure out how to weasel out of, now that Island has been cancelled), but by all means, come on by and do the chores I'm running from. The 1st lady runs a tight ship on the weekends.

[The_Bishop]

Well, at least by next year I should have my heads/cam upgrade done and some decent tires? :shrug:

When you say chores, if you mean drink beer and eat chicken wings then I am in.

There's a full dishwasher and a grocery list with your name all over it.

[IROCZman15]

speaking of wings... I was considering going to this place for some wings after Island is over since it's only a few mins away.

marleys Gotham Grill... check out their 50 different flavors of wings on page 2 of the menu on this page http://www.marleysgothamgrill.net/?page_id=33

ive never been, but was considering giving it a whirl

[thehazguy]

Never been there but I know a few folks that have been. They like the wings. Amazing that I live in town and haven't gone. If you plan on going look at the link for coupons. Can help the cost.

Best place to park is around the back and walk up to Main Street. Parking on Main Street can be a hassle.

[The_Bishop]

Their wings are very tasty but a bit expensive.
