Let's go Flyers!!

I'm going to a Flyers game on the 12th so I won't be very coherent on the 13th.

It's a possibility, but I will have to come solo again. Shawn has a birthday party to go to on that weekend

 

[jlthunder]

Interesting to say the least. How do you tailgate with a GT? We can BBQ on the exhaust manifold I have a small Weber portable grill and a 2 burner coleman stove I could bring if needed.

Is there a registration fee or a website we can go to?

Duane;

Would I be laughed off the track with a bone stock GT with skinny tires and no sway bars or is this just a fun event?

Jeff

 

[jlthunder]

I'm in

I will try to register for the afternoon session. I hope I don't get a DNF(Did not finish)

Rick,
Those cars won't have a chance now that you've got new sneakers for the Manta. Is Jeff still going? I haven't seen his name on the pre-registration list.

Duane

I'd like to go, but work has been crazy and I haven't been on the site very much. I will see if I can register today.

 

[jlthunder]

OK, I'm registered. I'm in the HS class with Rick!! My Car # will be 72. Do we pay when we get there. Rick, What time are you planning to be there? 7:30?

 

[jlthunder]

I have an equestrian helmet, but I guess that won't suffice

 

[jlthunder]

Rick;

Would you like to meet? What time and where?
Jeff.

What a Blast!!

Well, I didn't get to use my horse helmet, but the loaner helmets were spray painted bright pink. I'm OK with that .

First of all. I want to thank Rick for finding this event and Duane and Gary convincing me to take my "show car". Driving like a bat out of hell without the worry of the police is great. Ear to Ear grins were everywhere.

My favorite part was the U-turn at the end(power slid the whole thing ) and the tight serpentine. This is where the GT showed its stuff. Again, this was fun, but once a year is enough for this little engine.

Congrats go out to Duane and his little race car!! Did you fill the pint glass when you got home?

Well I came in 81st and Rick came in 82nd out of 104. Remember we were competing with WRX's and other professionals. I beat his best time by 1/10th of a second. We both got an "off course" His on his first run and mine on my last run when I thought I blew the engine.

On the final run I lost all power when I went up to 3rd gear. I checked my gauges and everything was OK. When I dropped it back to 2nd, the power returned but I missed a cone. Best time, but it didn't count.

Rick's son Adam took pictures. Hopefully they will post shortly.

Rick;

Maybe you can get some pictures from the video or post the video from your digital camera.

I too was having the best run on the last run, but I ran into the ingition/carb problem.

I expect you to beat me next year after your sneakers are broken in.

Agian, we had loads of fun out there and that is what it is all about Having someone you know out there makes it much more fun than going it alone.

Thanks again for the fun time

Duane;

Thanks for posting the results. It was great seeing you scoot the course in your race car. Now that was driving!! You blew both of us off the track. It was great seeing you go by and then hearing the announcer state "fastest time of the day"

Bring the glass to Carlisle, and we will make sure we keep it full

Well, it appears it is now time to start on those winter projects. Salt season is fast approaching.

Rick;

I would like a copy if possible. I will provide the tape if needed. How did our runs look? I want to show the wife what we did

Jeff:
In a word ............. SLOW

Well, you asked

Well, when I play it I will press the FF or>> button so it looks like we were really moving
