island dragway, great meadows, nj. :)

Wow cant wait for final details on this event. I really want to go to this. Its only a 20 min drive from me. And I have never drag raced ever and want to get some numbers of my 1992 Pontiac Firebird 3.1L CAI, Shorty headers, high flow cat, 2 1/2" dynomax cat back with Flowmaster 80 series muffler.

Hey, I'd like to do this. Never have. Will you tell us about registration? Will there be a " car show" of sorts? We should be out of storage by August!!

my car will be ready by may and i should have it fine tuned by then...so i'll take the little v6 out for a few runs

Yes, there will be drag racing and a car show. See details in the "Sticky" threads above this one :)

August 12 huh... I might have to make a trip up if I got the car back together by then... could be a good test day... that track ever have good rubber on it???? how's that place hook? Last time I was up there it was more than 10 yrs ago...

track has been good the last two years. we will have a lot more guys on slicks this year too, so you will have more rubber to practice on :)

I am coming with a big slick this yr.....thinkin maybe a 10.5 W!!!

the way it looks right now, I'll actually have an F-body there :shock:

Been hitting a few 2nd gen boards lately and haven't seen any adds yet for the 2007 Nationals. I'd like to post them up, but being lazy as I am, I'd like to copy / paste some generic description of the Nationals to each of the boards I am on. More 2nd gens needed!

So if there is a short salesy type description that we would use for first-time attendees and new club members, please point me to it.

Thanks!

hey guys really lookin foward to this years nationals wasn't able to make it last year due to a blown tranny line. Any idea of the date yet?

The event we did at Atco on Father's day last year was the F-Body clash....

hate to sound like a broken record but do you think in the future you guys can try to do this event in the cooler months instead of the hottest month for the past 3 years

gotta hold the event when the track is availabe, when we won't be up against events put on by larger organizations, and when there aren't any larger events going on in the area. August 10th is also our club anniversary and that is what this gathering was created to celebrate.

on sunday if you race do you have to be in the bracket racing only or can i run my car just so i can get a first run of it?

My rear tires are looking a lil low on tread. I'm trying to find a set of crap tires to race on. I might be gettin my hands on a pair or SLP spokes on a trade for my rims and tires and my stock tails. Either way, I'll be there with the worlds slowest modded LT1.

you don't have toenter a competitive class if you jsut want to make runs, there will be test and tune lanes available :)

ok thanks

Hey, how's it looking for running two classes, Test n Tune and also a Bracket? I just got line locks installed along with new ET streets and would like to get some seat time to "play". I'll pay the $70...

Um.... mine might be a contender :(

Okay so I've been to Englishtown a couple times but never to Island or Atco. IIRC you need a helmet at any NJ track, are they as lax at Island about the helmets or do we need to have a Snell M95 or better?
