i might make it there in the stupid exploder

When exactly, and where is the event? I might be up for it :drive: :bbq: :cheers:

Gates open 4PM and its at http://islanddragway.com I'd say about 2 hours north of you. If you're thinking of going your route to the track will take you just past where a group of us are meeting to cruise together

its all in the first post, its this wed at Island Dragway.. you can click on the site sponsor banner if it happens to be up on your browser right now or just go to www.islanddragway.com for directions etc. You can also PM me for more info.

beat ya melissa

... get out of my head j0n

If it starts at 4pm, and its a couple hours away, I won't be able to make it :cry:

Maybe next time. It sounds great!

ahh i kinda forgot how to get to island...

517 to 46.

Well, it starts at 4:00, but the racing lasts until sundown, and the BBQing and boozing last well into the night :)

How strict is the track? My car should be an easy low 11 second 1/4 mile car, probably even in the 10's but I don't have any form of a roll cage. Will I still get kicked out once I run faster than an 11.5? Or at this event will it not matter?

They are prolly the strictest out of the three in the state....If you are running 11.3s or 11.4s, they would prolly let you slide, but if you are pushing 10s, you'll prolly be stuck eating BBQ most of the night unless you just make 1/8 mile passes.

Thats not the answer I was hoping for :-x If they didn't care, I could work on my runs and see what my car could really do. But since they are strick, I'd probably get a bad launch, run an 11.2, and get kicked out.

I would be getting there late anyways. I'll probably just end up at Atco in a few weeks instead (unless Melissa corrects Justins statement about my car needing the cage :ban: )

No, island is pretty strict, if you go faster then 11.3 you will be screwed.

Word to your mother, I'll probibly join you with the wastedness...

I might tag along... maybe ill take the Z for one final pass down the track, maybe I can blow another valve spring :lol: i wont stay long since I have work the next day.

I'm definately in, anybody want to shoot some footage for me when I make a few passes?

If you bring the camera and shoot footage of me you've got yourself a deal

Anyone happen to know how strict Atco is in comparison to the Island Dragway?

My convertible required a bar at 13.49...i went 12.700 with noone caring. Also, brandon(demonicbird) went 10.999 without a bar and didnt get talked to

Sweetness! :mrgreen:

Can someone bring an extra helmet I can borrow? I forgot to go to Teds the other day and borrow on of his.

I'll be heading up as soon as I get out of work with Sal.

i'm sure you can get away with using one of ours on our cooldowns...

Noah- you gots teh PMs!!!!!

Sounds like a deal to me!

ugh...weather is so nice...stupid werk
