I'll plan on being there pending a trans.

yah whats up with that? Have you talked to the kid lately about when its gonna be here?

you still havent gotten it.....raise some hell :twisted: :D
bill, i thought your car was stock... :P

its got a K&N drop in air filter, high temp muffler bearings, low compression intake restrictor plate and a few other goodies to come :)

Since it will prolly be awhile before Craig answers....

He talked to the kid last week, and he's supposed to find out from him Monday (after the guys talks to DHL) whether the trans will be here soon or not. The guy told him that if the trans is lost or whatever, that he will mail a refund check to him on Monday.

Guess i'll be the list maker:
1. Me - TA (4th)
2. Bill - Z28 (4th)
3. Tim - Z28 (3rd) (thats a maybe)
4. Justin - hybrid Camaro 8) 1 of 768 LT's :P (3rd)
5. Scott - Pimpala
6. Craig(pending trans) :P - 6'er Maro (4th)
7. Matt - 454SS
8. Azn Mike - IS300
9. Garrett - Scooby
10. Willwood - Vette (whens he leaving for school?)
11. Randy - TA (4th)
then 3 of my friends
12. Andrew - Iroc (3rd)
13. Andrew - Celica GTS
14. Kenny - Audi 90

thats the confirmed list in my eyes so far....

i am a maybe. if i can get the LS1 dropped by then i will be going. i am done with the 305.
i think when the previous owner did his timing chain replacement her messed something up and i don't feel like wrestling with it anymore.
if anyone wants to stop by my house any night this week there will be a 305 removal and prep for the LS1 going on. if it is raining a little i will be using my big fancy $10 power garage :)
the LS1 shoudl be plenty to drag my car well into the 12's at least. once i am done with common bolt ons i expect solid 11's. once the turbo/fmic appear i should be into the 10's :)
good thing this is my "mild" combo while i save money for a big cube LSx based engine :twisted:

i'm leaving sept 19 or 20. i'll be there with the vette. proly only running low 14's thanx to this busted ass carb though and lack of total timing in the dist. o well, i've never been to this track anyway so what the hell.

-Will

My car is probably not going at this point....insurance company is only open M-F 8:30-4, and i work m-f 8:30-4:30. Work has been hell, and since i need to reveiw the whole quote with them over the phone (already have the quote) it's a 30-40 min. phone call, and I can't take time out of my work to do it. Blah....i'm beginning to dislike my job more and more.

- Justin

no way my swap will be done in time. i will definately be there though. maybe the cavy will make her final track appearance before i run it into a tree while it is on fire :)

:gay:

hey, you guys are forgetting about me. as long as nothing breaks between now and then, i'm there

very kewl...are you gonna meet up with us in ewing or do you know the way?

i was thinking(stop laughing!!!), everyoen who is heading up to this meet, please bring your video or digi cams if you have one. maybe we can get a little video together of out get togethers to show everyone how we do this. hehe, just a thought, but it woudl be fun.

i looked at the mapquest for it, i have to drive to 78 or 80, which is like 40 minutes northwest. but from there, it's not too far.

but if you guys want to meet me somewhere, that would be cool. i don't think i'm gonna drive 20 minutes south so i can go back up north again.

and i have a pretty decent mini dv camera, with a firewire output (i don't have firewire on my laptop, but you could probably borrow the cam to get everything on the computer).

since we grew so fast i am thinking this trip to teh track will be a good chance for people to meet each other. i put up a post in the lounge making it a semi-official first meet for the club.

we usually leave from ewing, up 31 to 202...so anywhere on that path would probably work pat.

pending registration/insurance, this very well may be the unveiling of my new car as well as its first run down the track(by me) :D

i am sure we will all be impressed with teh 91 convertable firebird 6cyl power :jest:
