Re: sunday at island dragway
Welcome to the club!
Nice to have another new member interested in racing. If you haven't seen the info about it already, we will be having a large show/meet at Island Dragway on August 14. We have the track to ourselves for the day, and we will have racing and a car show.

I was there running. I think I know the trans am you were talking about (white with blue stripes?), and i believe it is a small block. I dont think the guy would ******** about that. Either the driver or one of his crew members is a member on here, but can't remember his name.

I was there, but I wasn't racing. I had a blue LS1 SS. I didn't see many fbodies at all. I thought TITE was cancelled since there wasn't anyone there. Hopefully, one of these days I'll get tuned and then I can race again.

Well, hell. That would explain alot. Now it's all the way down at Atco. Oh well, maybe I'll have nothing going on that day for a nice ride. Thanks for the info.

Note to self: Always check the sponsoring boards stickies within a month of the event. Might show up to a non-existing event otherwise
