I'm not a big fan of walk-ons but if I can't fill the min 10 spots, I will have to take what I can get. Keep in mind we had 25 racers last year. Surely you can swing a $20 deposit :).

[Blackbirdws6]

Thanks Joe.

Based on feedback from the group so far, I have selected Monday, November 10th as the rental date. The $200 rental deposit has been paid. Now we just need more racers and deposits sent to hold your spot.

[ThoR294]

Awesome I'll request off that day :)

Recommended amount of $ for spectators for food or do we just bring food to share?

[Blackbirdws6]

I will need to discuss the food situation with the powers that be but if I recall, it was $10/person to eat.

[heavy_chevy29]

[chknhwk01]

[Blackbirdws6]

I would like to have the racer list firmed up at least a few weeks before the rental date.

when is the last day to sign up? I don't know if my car will be ready.

There is no formal deadline set but as mentioned, I would like to have the racer and spectator list finalized a few weeks prior. I know we will have a few last min folks looking to jump in.

[BarneyMobile]

I'm in. Hopefully to go alittle bit faster.

[Blackbirdws6]

Sent you a PM. Anyone else? Spots are filling up quickly.

[ThoR294]

Excellent. Let me know soon since I've started posting this on a few other forums.

[ThoR294]

i expect to see some awesome races!

[Vade46]

I'll take the three spots. Send the deposits to the same paypal as last year?

Same as last year. Please send the deposit as a gift and include names/cars for your friends. Thanks!

[ThoR294]

If I put a cam in maybe.... But I'll still be the slowest lol

[Blackbirdws6]

The list is growing fast. Looking like this will be a good showing!

[Blackbirdws6]

A few new racers added to the list. :)

[ThoR294]

Looks like this will be an awesome event

[Blackbirdws6]

I'm excited and we should have a variety of nice, quick cars. Hope the weather holds.

[LTb1ow]

If I trailer the red baron down, who is up for driving it?

[sweetbmxrider]

I'll drive the trailer.

[Jersey Mike]

I'll sit behind the wheel and steer. Beggs will ensure the LS1 swap has not hindered the stereo system's functionality

[Grifter]

Looks like it's going to be a great turn out.

[Blackbirdws6]

It's shaping up very nicely. Sweetbmxrider loaned me a steadicam to get some mess around with.

[greenformula92]

Wish I could come hang out and watch this but Mondays are impossible for me. I'll expect many pics and videos of :bertstare:

[BonzoHansen]

Please let us know in this thread if you are in for lunch: http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?p=900856

I just noticed it starts at 9:30, don't gates usually open at 8? I'll probably leave a little early anyway to try and beat the traffic.

Rental starts at 930 but gates will be open earlier for those that want to get there and prep their car.

[heavy_chevy29]

is there any pay at the gate options. i would like to go but im not 100%. i should have the car back together by then. i was thinking about going to cecil on the 8th. if i can pay at the gate id rather go to the club event.

[Featherburner]

Unfortunately, my car wont be ready for the rental. I ordered parts 6 or 7 weeks ago and they haven't come. I was hoping they would show by yesterday but no luck. I will still attend as I have the day off but no racing for me.

[BonzoHansen]

I have 8 paid lunches so far, and 3 others for lunch? Is that it?

If you do, please post in this thread:
http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=64638

Or just pay in advance, instructions in the thread.

Oh, and these....

I owe you money for lunch. Sorry for the delay. I will send it over before Monday. Trophies look great!

[sweetbmxrider]

[ThoR294]

[Dudbird113]

Have fun guys!

Why you no go?

[Blackbirdws6]

Good rental. We had 21 racers and out of those, only one person unfortunately broke. At least he did so with the wheels in the air. I want to thank those who came out and for Bonzohansen handling trophies and lunch. Air could have been a bit better but I know many set a new best.

I will start a pics, video thread and post up the good when I have some time to go through them.

[MDSheds_SS]

We had a good time, a lot of nice/fast cars out there today. Keep us posted on the next one, we should have both cars ready by then.

[DadsZ28]

Brian, I had a great time yea car was off a tenth or 2 but still ran well. It was actually too nice a day lol. Met a lot of new faces and seen some old friends i haven't seen in awhile. Thanks again for putting this rental together as you always do a great job! Looking forward to the vids!

[Featherburner]

It was a good day! Sure as hell beats being at work! So, who had quick ET?

[ThoR294]

3rd gen sunset orange camaro... Heavy Chevy ran 9.05

[Twisted Minds Racing]

Awesome rental we had 5 cars out today and all but 1 in the 9's.
Pete's street driven 3750 lb TA went 9.59@142 but busted the 9" on the last pass
Rob's street driven 3725 lb SS went 9.86@140 rowing gears as usual
Dave in his orange SS made the highlight real with the nastiest launch of the day with a 2 gear wheel stand and fought traction issues threw out the day but went 10.16 NA and spinning to 9.9 passes with the shot.
Ken in his 79 Turbo LS transplant Malibu went 9.46@145 on the foot brake and a hand full of mid 9 passes. A trans brake and a working XIM box and it will be in the 8's.
John in his newly acquired SS convertible went 10.76@125 on a dry shot.
All the cars performed well and had a great time looking forward to next year.
