I've be away for awhile. You know life gets in the way. Is anyone planning Race wars for this year? Inquiring minds want to know. it looks like there wasn't one last year.

No current plans however if there is enough interest from the group, I can look to organize. "Enough" would be at least 8+ ready and committed to race. I'd need to know within the next two weeks as it will take some time to identify an available day with Atco while making sure the group can attend.

interested, can easily commit also.
I actually had planned to get to Atco once during the fall season, but have yet to determine when... yet, this could be it! otherwise I will just go for a TnT. I am willing to take an unpaid day off of work if the group does get this event happening.
-heading to island this Friday night for TnT if the weather holds out. Will be trying some light nitrous passes

edit: there is one guy who i could ask to participate if you are looking for more people beyond njfboa club people. He has a 3rd gen firebird with a small block N/A and runs in the 11.02 range.

Heard back from Atco. Available dates right now for November are:

Nov 1, 2, 3, 9, 10.

There are late Oct dates as well but I don't see that being workable.

Price is $250/car (no longer $200) and minimum is 10 cars. Let me know what dates work and if there is alignment/firm (yes) from enough racers, I can look to work this out.

I can honestly do ANY of the dates. I will have to use an unpaid day at work, but my boss would be willing to let me take a day off. So, as the group picks a date, I will just mention it to my boss and get verbal confirmation. But you can count me in, especially if everythign goes well at TestNTune tomorrow night at Island.

How strict is their tech inspection? My battery box is technically not sealed in the hatch but it is secure and it is a sealed battery.

Yeah, agreed. Wasn’t sure if it changed in recent years but it was just sign paper and go race.

The only time I remember them hassling folks was with BLS and his outdate harness. :rofl:

ill be the slowest. trying to hook on 245 width 500 treadwear tires is fun, even in a 5500lb charger

Looks like I'm out guys. My mother has been very sick so I fell behind at work trying to take care of her the past week. Don't think I'll be able to afford a day off anytime soon.
Ben's Camaro blew its half shafts and the quickest we can get upgraded half shafts will be around Thanksgiving.

Absolutely sucks.

Hope your Mother gets better soon. Family comes first.

Looks like we are still quite shy on the car count folks and time is getting tight. Unless we get the count up to 10 over the next week, I'd recommend looking around for another rental that may let you slip in.
