The future of the Clash
 
i talked briefly to some people at atco. they were pretty happy with the results of the day. i don't know if we can roll this years results into an f-body only day next year, but i am certainly going to try.
the clash is one of the events that we would like to see as a part of the new series we are planning. that would mean more car count and more prizes to give out.
i am going to try to sit down with joe sr. soon and see if he has any concrete ideas for next year yet. hopefully this is something we can lock into early, get a better date, and have a lot mroe time to promote next year :)

i'm sure the turn out would have been even better had it not been african hot out that day and fathers day to boot. but good work tim

Date is key. Even stupid NASCAR takes Mother's day off.

ATCO has just published its "preliminary" schedule online. There's no Clash on it (at least, as I can see). Is it going to happen this year?

NJSPEEDER 01-06-2007 02:13 PM

i guess the event is bagged then. they also have not called me back about it even though i have left a few messages.
it's a shame really, with their facilities and the number of f-bodies around it coudl have really turned into a big event.
we will jsut press forward and put our full efforts into the 2007 East Coast F-Body Nationals at Island Dragway instead :)

Fran D 01-06-2007 02:40 PM

You mean...I'm going to have to spend Father's Day......home.........with the kids??!! :p

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

So how's tech there? Atco didn't bust my chops when I ran 11.40, but I plan on having a few things sorted out by then. I'd have to make a weekend out of it if I went since it's 2 hours away.

If you plan on running quicker than 11.48s and 11.49s, I would suggest getting the 6 point installed before August ;)

That's what I figured. The only thing the T/A is getting before then is a tune, a headlight motor, and a new tps sensor/wiring. After that I'm saving up for something more substantial.

AliOMalley 01-30-2007 12:54 AM

Hmm, just throwing this out there... with the cruise we were talking about the other day (surf n turf / carolina) I wanted to look into a test & tune day at the track by our house. I can see if I can pull some strings and we might be able to get something worked out down here? Just a thought. Tim get in touch with me and lets see if we can work something out!

V 01-30-2007 02:16 AM

coastal plains?

AliOMalley 01-30-2007 03:30 AM

Yes, coastal plains. How did you know?

V 01-30-2007 02:46 PM

im the one from the meet last saturday, who was talking about moving to the outer banks. I made sure when i first thought of moving to find a local track i could go to down there. lol

AliOMalley 01-31-2007 02:25 AM

Ahh I see, lol. Yea Coastal is no where near the outerbanks.... sooooo just move to jacksonville and hang out with mEEEEE

Batman 02-02-2007 06:34 PM

~shivers~ Carolina is a VERY long tow home if your car breaks.......
-Tim, I know it is kinda far away but do you want me to see if we can get Lebanon Valley for something this year? I think we can get a private day for $70 a person, and I think it is $35 if you pair with a day the track is open. We need at kleast 30 participants also. I might be able to pair something up with our Fall charity cruise. 5.0 mustangs rule the world up here and I could use some help dealing out humiliation.

AliOMalley 02-03-2007 01:31 AM

^^ This is true. ^^ My car club is planning a cruise and we wanted to do a track day in it as well (all the info will be up shortly) so I was just throwing that out there...

CALL911 02-15-2007 08:02 AM

Have any dates been thrown out? I go to ATCO often, but wouldn't mind trying a different track.

NJSPEEDER 02-15-2007 02:33 PM

atco never got back to us about the event and it is not listed on their calendar this year.
we are throwing all of our efforts behind the east coast f-body nationals instead. it will be the third year of that event, celebrating the anniversary of the club.
it will take place on sunday, august 12th, at island dragway in north jersey. check out the nats forum for all the details.
it is a good time with lots of car show awards, goodie bags, trophies, and a cash prize fund for the heads up and bracket drag racing classes :)

hope to see you there

MagicRatt 02-16-2007 10:07 PM

Didn't you guys run this event at E-town a few years ago??
