Atco Opens. I plan on pulling a Mike

(as in actually being fast enough to break something). I now have a reason to get off my ass and install a shiftlight, line lock, get tires, and maybe a 2-step. Boy this month is gonna hurt the bank account. So whose in? It was cool last month to get a little gathering.

NJSPEEDER · 01-08-2009, 09:10 PM

I would be interested in seeing anyone even hook, much less hook hard enough to break stuff. lol

Hopefully I will be not sick this time and actually make it out.

BigAls87Z28 · 01-08-2009, 09:27 PM

Eh, probably not gunna see me out there till March.

emolineaux · 01-08-2009, 10:33 PM

Jersyboyy · 01-09-2009, 03:01 AM

Ill see you guys up their come march or april and I know ill be breaking something

NJ346 · 01-09-2009, 05:24 AM

Ehh, you never know with this weather. Looks like we're going to be getting a string of snow for the next week and a half, but the 25th could end up being in the 40's or low 50's.

emolineaux · 01-09-2009, 08:03 PM

depending on the weather and if i feel like grinding my rear calipers to put my prostars on i might make a pass or 2

I can't wait to get my car out on the track with the new 9 inch but like Tim said its gonna be tough to hook this time of year.

Ehh, I will be out on some brand new DR's so I wont be afraid to heat them up. If the high is in the low 30's I won't bother heading out, but if it's breaks 40's I'm going.

sweetbmxrider · 01-09-2009, 09:42 PM

as long as the track is warm, at least in the first 60 feet, you should be able to break some 10 bolt

7998 · 01-10-2009, 09:58 AM

If I can get some DR's by then I'll go. I've been dying to get a couple runs in with the new Stall.

z28rob18 · 01-11-2009, 04:17 PM

Haha, Thats funny but its so true!

NJSPEEDER · 01-11-2009, 07:26 PM

As long as the sun is out and the wind isn't terrible, just having cars running down the lane is what warms the track up more than anything else. So if it is cold it will be more about getting 30+ cars out there hot lapping than anything else. If that first layer of spring rubber will start to lay in even a little, you will see ET's drop a ton in that cold air.

It'd be nice to be able to hot lap the car. My trans likes to run a lot smoother when it's hot so having the car at operating temp would actually help me.

That day will be your big chance, there is never a big crowd in January

Jersey_TA · 01-12-2009, 12:42 AM

Good luck Vin

No firm date yet otherwise I would lol.

NJ346 · 01-16-2009, 07:43 AM

Looks like the day will be clear so far. High of 38 isn't that bad, hopefully it will get a little warmer than that.

Yea I will. They are programmed in my phone's phonebook and they're at the top of the list. Just checked again and it says chance of precip: 0% which means that it will most likely snow or rain that day since these weather ppl are so good at predicting ****

NJSPEEDER · 01-16-2009, 04:11 PM

lol

Put something up in the south regional forum and see who is interested. They are local so that is most likely your best shot at attracting a crowd.

7998 · 01-17-2009, 09:36 AM

I got my Drag Radials last night so I'm a go if the weather is good.

69BirdX · 01-17-2009, 01:51 PM

If it aint to cold ill go. Its my Bday and i would def have fun there. If its cold its a waste i went the last friday night of the season and i couldnt get my car to hook with slicks. No Groove and track to cold.
