Coming this Saturday at Raceway Park is an Event called Late American Muscle Mania. It is being helped by SLP Performance who are giving away trophies, discounts, gift certificates, cash and MORE. There are 4 classes, 2 tire classes and 2 front wheel classes. Go to SLPonline or RacewayPark.com to find out more. IF the weather holds up, myself(my 1991 Formula) and my son(with his G8 GT

)will be there to hopefully kick ASS! EVERYBODY who missed out on the racing at the Nationals should be here.

hrm...early morning? Eh, I still have to go to work around 1, wouldnt be able to spend much time there.

I was talking to the guys at SLP today to thanks them for their sponsorship assistance at the Nats and to tell them about our fun in the rain. They mentioned they are going to be out at E-Town this Saturday. So I thought I’d share the info with the club. It is going to be real nice on Saturday too.

i've went to a SLP day years ago everything was free. there were no trophies or monies awarded just free racing and the goodie bags were full of good stuff!!

As described to me, this is an SLP day, like in the past. E-Town called them up a few weeks ago and asked them to slap something together to fill the void of nopi's failure.

POSTED THIS SAME THING IN THE LOUNGE AREA ON 08/18. SO FAR 44 PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT IT, AND ONLY "ONE" PERSON REPLIED ON IT. Must be real exciting. I guess it's because it's NOT at Atco or Island?

JL8Jeff · 08-21-2008, 09:10 PM

HaHa, I didn't even notice this was SLP sponsored because I didn't read into it enough. You should have put SLP in the title. Sounds a little like their old SLP Day which was pretty cool. I might head down since I haven't been to E-town yet this year.

BonzoHansen · 08-21-2008, 09:16 PM

Merged...

Anybody go today? Good show?

VERY POOR showing. My son and I went and there were only about 50 cars that showed up, mostly late model GTO's and Dodge Chargers. We both had bad luck. I did something I haven't done in years and that was a RED LIGHT in the 1st round, and my son was off on his dial in and also lost in the 1st round. Of course because of the low turnout, instead of having a class for cars with street radials running 13:00 and slower, they lumped EVERYBODY together, so that Drag Radial class of 12:99 and quicker was also in there. My son had to go against a car that pulled off a .011 reaction time and that sealed his fate(he had a .144).

Tru2Chevy · 08-23-2008, 10:49 PM

Sucks that it was such a poor showing, but if it wasn't for the last minute posts here I wouldn't have even heard about it.

Seems like E-Town and SLP could have made some effort to promote it, even on short notice.

If you sign up for Etown's newsletter they sent around an email about it, but that's it.

Did you see me(red 1991 FORMULA) or my son's G8 GT? What car did you bring? Was the weather a factor? It seemed to be quite hot, but the temps were in the low 80's. What did you think of the turnout? I know there wasn't too much time to advertise, but come on, how much time do you need to go to an SLP event with late model muscle cars without some other event going on at the same time!

It just shows, most people catch on to SLP after they start seriously modding their cars. They're not the best out there, but they charge prices like they are.
