I'm running lone wolf if the greatlakes gassers didn't mind I would run with them just kinda playing it by ear sounds like we may get there around the same time save us a spot next to you if you can.and yes it sounds like a blast for sure

[Class Reunion]

815 miles each way for us, how ever long thats going to take. It will be worth it to go to a nostaliga race and not be surrounded by Camaros and a host of other cars that are slammed and tubbed with Super Pro on the windows.

Ill save you a spot. As I understand they will park our group together but Ill get a end spot if i can.............if you run with someone, run with us...the beer is colder here.........................I know

[Falfasnightmare]

Right on guys!!! NO camaro's or pro-mods. or other incorrect stuff....they are invited to the car show...only.

Glad to see your making the haul from Pennsylvania.....WOW.....we have a long distance award.....and it will be tough to figure out who gets it.....WOW!!!!

[Junior Stock]

Sorry I won't be making the trip up with Bean Dip.
Still got the trans out of the 57 scattered across the work bench.
Have a safe and fun weekend and I hope to make it up there next year.

[55chieftain]

Well i'm pretty bummed right now , I went to test and tune over the weekend to make sure I had all my bugs worked out and ran into some valvetrain issues and won't be able to make it. Whats it's going to take to fix it takes up all the tight budget I had to even make it. Best of luck for the event and everyone please be safe. Bill

We're hoping to be there Friday morning...(The good Lord willing and if the creek don't rise...) when will you be letting folks into the track ?

[Falfasnightmare]

Saxxon,

Technically on Friday not until 1pm...FYI there is some racing going on Friday....NOT vintage racing. So if you want to make passes they will charge you the $30 fee, and if you show early before 5-6pm you will be charged the normal $10 entry fee ON FRIDAY...so if your vending we suggest you come in late afternoon/evening by then most of the Pontiac club will be cleared out and allow you the room you need to operate....we will be there before that, ...so this gives you time to stop at the hotel freshen up grab some chow and meet us at the gate....excited to check out your ride!!

Koop

[Saxxon]

Thank you... we will plan accordingly.

Won't be vending... were coming down with a minimalist attitude and leaving all the big heavy stuff behind. Just enough to race and survive the weekend.


Cheers
Can't wait to get there

[micky69]

Cool event, maybe next year bring the Austin out for some fun.

[Leadsled51]

I will be there, but unfortunately not with my Falcon Just way too much to do to it, to be legal and safe. Sounds like it's going to be a HOT one....just checked forcast and it going to be close to 90 degrees on Saturday! But that sure beats that flood of last year!

[Bean Dip]

I couldn't get my car in order to properly run 1/4 mile sooooooooo....Steve kindly suggested we run our match race 1/8 mile. Cool guy! Don't kid yourself though....we are gonna bring the heat! See you all there. Can't wait!!!

[II FUNNY]

Even with the rain last year it was still the best day at the dragstrip I had ever had. I can't wait to see some of these cars in action especially Bean Dip's , Saxon's, Johnny Rottens and the little engine that could. See all you guys FRI or SAT.

[Falcon Gasser]

Looks like everything is set, picking up food and heading out Thursday to meet up with some people in Indiana, looks like 12 from Great Lakes Gassers will be the and Steve you are always welcome with us.

Jon

[Falfasnightmare]

Run 1/4 mile, 1/8th mile or just gently drive your rare untouched car down for fans viewing pleasure...NO PRESSURE TO RUN HARD...run hard or soft...NO PROBLEM!!
