club trip to the pump gas drags anyone?

[NJSPEEDER]

i was thinking that i really wanna see this contest even if i am not invited, so i am gonna plan to go.
teh race itself is on may 13th, the track has a test adn tune the night before that would be cool to run in. so i figure leave after work, between 6pm adn 7pm on teh 10th to get down there in plenty of time to get some rest and a bite to eat before heading over to the track.
anyone else interested in heading down? if we can get a bunch of cars together maybe we can get a little attention from hot rod magazine who said that they will eb covering teh previous nights test and tune :)
with my car sorted out and ready to rock, if i don't get an invite i want them to be disappointed they turned me down. hehe
:grampsch:

[foff667]

yah wheres this takin place...sounds like a fun trip :)

[NJSPEEDER]

the group meets at comp cams factory in memphis and then they cruise during mid day traffic to the dragstrip just outside of memphis.
the test adn tune that hot rod says everyone enjoyed last year is at memphis motorsports park the night before

should be a good time and a chance to run your car in front of the hot rod staff since they plan to cover teh test and tune the evening before their event.

don't worry, i'm not planning on racing my NON F BODY.

i dont quite feel like driving either. at least not by myself. i would ask jon to navigate but he is far away.

Tennesse if I read Tim's post right.

I'd go for the road trip, but I have NO idea what I will be doing as far as work, so the chances are slim I'll even be able to take off. lus no one really wants me there anyways ;)

[j0n]

haha well as it gets closer ill know for sure wether i'll be able to take a trip down, but as of right now i'm very interested

[JerzLT1]

Just got my 86 and by then ill know if i trust it to drive that far..... if not ill drive your vert half the way :twisted: just go to sleep i promise i wont hurt the car :wink:

[j0n]

:? thats not very reassuring :hammer:

[camaroracer1992]

well gang i sent in my application for the pump gas drags. the car for sure will be in teh 10's next year!!! so i est a 10.2@135 on my slip. I have a 92 camaro rs that is going on a "diet" (per tim) and also another stage of juice. my nitrous will either be a 300 or 400 shot i have to figure out what i can do better performance wise on 93 octane. i already figure ill be yankign about 12-16 degrees of timing. by then i plan to shed about 100 lbs out of the car hopefully and maybe if i can lose liek 20 myself HEHE!!! the car has a ran a best os 11.3@119 with a horrible 1.6 ish 60'. i didnt have a rear sway bar and the pass tire was rubbing the well and i now have about a 6" sq piece of bare metal HAHA!!! i have added hte BMR pro drag bar and also 1.6 rockers (lash set .002 tighter for slightly bigger cam/lift) and a stud girdle since then. i also planon adding an electric water pump and doing more efi tuning. so im sure i should have a high 10 sec car before the second stage of nitrous is on.

[camaroracer1992]

i prob will take it down anyway. if i do itll be filled with 114 and a 400 shot with the maximum advance that can be ran!!! whats the sniffle about. nothings hotter then a lighter hot beast!!!! i hope to lay the flames out this weekend and get her paint job done and start putting her back together and cleaning her up from all the dust and crap that got on it.

[Ian]

If I can take off time from work, I would love to go with you guys. I'll split fuel costs with someone too cough:j0n:cough.

[j0n]

hey like i said as long as someone wants to split fuel i got no problem drivin down...just gotta convince the parentals :?

[camaroracer1992]

you can split gas with me if you want!!! ill be towing my car down

[PBodyGT87]

hey CAN i go? you know, i think this would be pretty cool. i can drive some of the way too (if people trust me cuz i won't take my car) and pay some gas fares and stuff... could be cool!

[camaroracer1992]

you can help pay for gas for me if you want. dont know if you can handle driving the big rig though (ext cab duelly and 24 foot car trailer). but its worth a shot


joe

[Mike]

my cars empty too, anyones welcome...im very interested in goin

[Ian]

well, if I do end up going, I sure as hell aint taking the cherokee. It would be very out of place.:?

[NJSPEEDER]

looks like i need to look into hotel and travel info. according to mapquest it is about a 16hour drive from the trenton area(they call it by the speed limit, so take that as you wish). if everybody has a relief driver i am sure we can make it down there safely in less time than that.

i have experience behind the wheel of a crew cab silverado with 6.5ft bed and a 14 ft boat behind it so i should be able to ride down with u

[84HOtransam]

its on my birthday....

[Mike]

dont estimate the time by speeding, if we plan on staying together and people are talking trailers, we should estimate a little on the longer side....

do you know the dates of the event (im too lazy to check hotrods site)
