My truck will be the supply truck. For jacks, tools, slicks, coolers, whatever. And the emergency vehicle incase something happens to someones car.

The plan is to be there EARLY at 5:45pm. It gets busy there Friday nights and we want to be ahead of the game. We are looking to leave somewhere around 9 or until it gets too crowded with people. Some things you need to know. Make sure you wear something with sleeves. Must wear pants, no shorts. Must wear shoes, no flip flop things.

When they inspect your car, some important things they check. Make sure your tires are not bald. Low tread is ok, as long as they are not bald. Make sure your seat is fastened down and not loose. Seatbelt must work. Make sure your battery is held down by something. No loose large objects in the car/trunk, such as tool boxes, subwoofers. However if its fastened down, your ok. Windows must be able to stay up, and have door handles.

Lastly, about half of who I expect to be going, runs faster than 13.99 in the quarter mile. With that said, BRING YOUR RACING HELMENT! And check the date.

Dave and I will be bringing camcorders. Anyone else who has a camera or camcorder, bring it. I plan to use lots of pics and footage.

ALSO, if you feel you cant make it, or are pushing/rushing to make it, dont sweat it too bad. We intend to have another track night out at Speedworld at the beginning of December. Which should cut some of you west side people a break.

We had a list going in the original thread of who was going to show, but a lot could have changed in that time period. Lets start fresh. Who KNOWS they are going? Lets start the list.

1. CraiGTP
2. GPpunk
3. SUBDOCGTP
4.

I'll be there, in the Caddy. Its got a couple new things done :twisted:

PDXGTP · **Posted:** Sun Nov 01, 2009 9:17 am

I'll be there, nothing done to the car so maybe I'll just spectate and data log cars.

If I get my engine oil and trans fluid changed I'll run my GTP, still haven't touched my exhaust or water pump.
I need more WOT tuning too.

I got the Thermostat changed to a new ACDelco, so that problem is fixed. Driver side lower ball joint should be replaced Thursday, so I should be fine to give the truck a couple of runs. Count me in as well!

I have a misfire. Which is preventing a tune. No tune, I dont see a point to race. Plus I had to buy a battery Saturday and that put me back on money. The same money I was going to use for plug wires and racing. Im trying my best to at least show, as of this moment. Might change.

If I get my oil and trans fluid changed out then I'll be racing, I drovemy car with my trans fluid at 265*F for 13 hours last July and haven't changed the oil yet.
I'm trying to get out of work early Friday which isn't likely but I'll try. if so then I'll be good to go.

Dave wants to use my slicks on the booger.

I haven't changed my exhaust yet or my WP...
I also nee dto work on my tune but I can do that at the track. ;-)

Looking forward to seeing the V's Rhett, so, who's V will be the fastest? :grin:
