may 1st spring cordova track rental
Once again we're renting out the Cordova, IL track for a spring rental. Looking for any local people who would like to make it out to join us for a good time. The flyer shows a few of the typical cars we get out at this gathering from the midwest f-body association. If anyone also needs chassis tuning, or carb tuning help I'll be on hand along with running a quick drivers meeting for new drag racers. It's a fun event every time we have it, very laid back.

also will be running hopefully a $5 buy-in bracket race series for fun along with a quick 8 shootout possibly for the big dogs. 100% payout back to the racers.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
you'd get e-mailed a confirmation letter with a certain number and your name. Without that letter you won't be getting in without paying or being on the list.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
Bump! The rental is this saturday! Will finally get to see what the car will run in the 1/4 mile. I will be ecstatic at high 13's, but I not disappointed with low 14s as its really is just a 260hp B-body LT1 with CAI, shorty headers, and cat-back. Technically only about 30hp more than the car made in stock trim. Not sure what the headers/cat-back/CAI are adding to it.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
So I walked up to the black second gen 4 times. First time a dude was under the gray thirdgen rear, second time there was a chick with her thong hanging out checking timing (my old lady caught that I didn't). Third and fourth time there was two bigger dudes and two chicks. Which one was you...

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
lol the girl checking timing was ally. That's her black 2nd gen. I was one of the bigger guys, not the 6'8" one but the shorter one. Too bad you didn't say hi. I was also under the grey thirdgen trying to get it to hook off the transbrake on nitrous, didn't have much luck so he packed it in early to go buy a fresh set of slicks for tomorrow for more testing.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
nope mine is sitting in the garage with an empty engine bay waiting for me to finish the motor up and toss it back in. Still about $1200 short 
Ya that grey camaro has all sorts of issues, I'll get it sorted out for him sooner or later
The rear wasn't square in the car either so it wanted to walk on him, hopefully we'll get it all setup for his first E85 race series in 2 weeks.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
had a blast, best time my car has ever ran. 13.59 @ 102mph.
I ran 11 times, without even trying. It was a blast. One guy claimed the hot-lap record of 24 runs from DuronClocker, the new record is 37 runs.
MFBA is renting out the track again in October. There have been past videos, DooD the guy who usually does them might do one again I haven't asked though.
However, here are his previous videos.

Re: may 1st spring cordova track rental
How many times did you run? I didn't spectate much. I should have though, would have been nice to see more cars run than I did.
There is always October.
