club trip to the pump gas drags anyone?
 

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:

where they be?

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

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.

im down if someone needs a navigator...i dont wanna drive there, actually, tim you need a truck w/ a hitch? by that time i can probably get dad to let me take it down for "official magazine business" i dont know if you plan on driving downt there but even if you do you should have the ability to tow it back just in case u brake some ****...lemme know

and yea if tim doesnt need a truck ill ride down wit someone and split fuel cost if you want, driving time too if you trust me :lol:

i am very much intreigued by this....

Time to find a car trailer and a 4cyl pick up to use? 8)

if need comes to need, my pickup might work.....its a 2wd v6 silverado but it tows my dads boat ok....

and has towed my old s10

i am actually gonna talk to a guy tonight prolly about a pick up. i can get it for a few hundred, its an older ford adn needs work(don't they all :roll: )
still have to find a trailer to borrow, may have a source for that too. hehe.
anyone think we shoudl make signs that say "JERZEE PWNS JOO!!!" lol

is this something i could attend?

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.

wait, where is this?

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 ;)

ohhhh well screw me driving there, or going at all i think. the fiero would overheat and blow up before it makes it to tennesse. hahaha. i think i will just stay home and go to dave and busters with you genie. hahahahahaha.

AWESOME. Â*Cept we need someone 25+ to come with us so you can come in...but under 21 has 11pm curfew :( Â*

Hmm, we'll think of something to do...Girl's night? Or should I say girl's weekend? ;)

all i gotta say is daaaaaamn straight! hahaha

after thinkin about it im down for drivin if someone wants to split fuel costs...by this time i should be gettin 29+ mpg in 6th gear so it wouldnt be too bad...i'd just want to drive with someone who i could trust behind the wheel for half the trip

that's a hell of a lot better than my 19 mpg lol

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

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:

:? thats not very reassuring :hammer:

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.

[sniffle]when they finally start to understand it is sooo.....soooo.... beautiful[/sniffle]

lol

good luck joe. if you don't make it into teh competition you damn well better drag yer ass down there with me to show the guys at hot rod what they are missing out on. :D

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.

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