t&t in the snow if snow is down?

that should be interesting.......

stickin this up top tim.

 

teh list keeps growing gang. the only problem is there seems to be a lower and lower percentage of f-bodies in the group. word of mouth is spreading it to all challengers and we are gonna need more birds and maros to raise the flag. so far it is an all domestic affair, but a local group of vw guys are grumbling about challenging everyone.
lets here it gang. who else is in!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i'm in! sounds fun. i may not be a top contender at the gathering but oh well.

 

Is Atco open for time trials all year? The reason i ask is b/c once Englishtown closes in Nov. my car will most likely be broken in, i doubt i will make any passes over at Englishtown! If Atco is open till the new year i'll head over there for a few trials! I just don't want to go into an event without even seeing how the car does on a track. I kinda want to get used to it. If anything i'll just watch! later-Bryan

 

and one of those v-dubs can take most if not all n/a 3rd gens :hail:

 

I'll be there, bet on that, with more mods and better tune, oh it's soooo on

 

Tim, don't worry I could get 3 daily driven street cars that would make their jaws drop and have em running home crying to mommy, and oh yeah they're only V6's

 

Atco is crazy, true Rednecks, they don't close till it snows...then once it melts i think they open it back up, hell they even torch the burnout box when its cold to melt the ice if the box freezed up :sillylol:

 

I might be up for that

My local track (New England Dragway) closes at the end of October and I'm not sure if my Z will be ready by then and I know I won't have my rollcage installed by then so even if I do make it it won't be for long

Can you post the link for the track website so I can figure out how long it will take me to get there?

I live in the Seacoast of NH.

Thanks,
Marc

 

GN's and T-type's dont count

1st and goal, www.atcorace.com

 

So it is a good bet that they are open for a while? It is like 35min from me so that isn't bad at all! I hope to be there-Bryan

 

I'll prolly be there with the IROC or Red's 69... I dunno if it will be warm enough to bring the 69 tho..

Kat

 

: Bring the 69 :evil grin:

 

Maybe Tony, it is all up to red and if the car is put away for the winter yet.

Kat

 

yeah true, with being in December she'll probaby have the car down for the winter

 

Hey guys I'll try to make it. I would love nothing more than to spank some imports with pure American Muscle! I just hope it isn't real cold. I live 10 mins from Atco, and it has been getting cold here. It's only October and it feels like January!

 

i know, it sucks, I hate the cold

 

I'll be there too, just don't know which camaro to bring. If the coupe is done, I'll have to bring that, if not, it's gonna be the convertible. Either way, I'll be there!!!!!!

I will definately be there... I missed the bbq casue my car was in the paint shop.... but I have it now and I will have my rear in by then too [waiting on the bushings] so it will be cool.

 

yea dude sounds cool I'll be there with 91dubz28 I got a 91 rs and I am lookin to get my goods packed and ready to hit the track should be fun let me know on more details

 

it is gonna be a good time. looks liek a good crowd.
i think gates are like 9 ro 10 am. figure 20 or 25 to race each day.
i dunno what we are doing as far as dinner and stuff yet, but i can gaurantee it will be fun.

I was at Atco tuesday night, it was FREEZING!!, so be prepared guys!! Tim, there's a diner/resturaunt down the road on Rt. 73 called victory lane, it's a pretty cool joint, racing theme, good food, etc.. Right now, it looks like the coupe won't be ready, but I'll be there in the 'vert. See ya then!!

That cold air great... I think I am going to go down to Atco next friday night to see what my car runs with the new rear... Hopefully the dense cold air hepls with times too =] briguy3434 will probably be there with his 91 rs and his borther with his Iroc.

 

I will make an effort to be there
88 formula.

 

I will be there on the 7th and 8th. ill hopefully break my 16.5 time. The colder the better. looks like ill be needen to get my copm t/a's mounted for this soon.

 

Too bad you guys are doing this the week after a group of us close out our season by going down to Atco on the 30th. Our group will have at least 3 3rd gen's; myself, my buddy with his many time national record holding I-J/SA Camaro and a mutual friend with his 3rd gen bracket Camaro. We will be trying out a few things before pulling them apart for annual frehening/upgrades.
Maybe we'll catch a few of there, if so just look for a group with Mass tags and that'll be us.

 

and then there is this: atco to redo their surface

i don't know if they are going to shut down for this, but i would imagine so.

 

ill be there, iunno about racing, but i wanna get some tape for my thirdgen video

 

Well, I dont know about racing guys. We got like 6 inches of snow down now and I live about 10 mins from the track... =[

 

i don't own a third gen car but i'll be there on saturday. sounds like a great time!

 

absolutly no reason the track shouldnt be clear

 

ah but there must be a reason cause it's closed

 

saturday is scratched and sunday ain't lookin to good right now. the problem for those of you who have never been to atco is that th track sits abotu 5 ft below the surrounding bleachers. this means that they can clear the track, but then as snow in the pit areas and on teh bleachers melts all teh water runs downhill onto the track surface. i am sure they will give a good effort to get it all taken care of, but that is a lotta space to try to clean up to get things ready.
the hot line said they will have a decision about sunday at 3pm saturday.
