Another set date for battle at the playground. So who will be going to this event? All the NorCal Camaro owners will me at my house for final tuning and plan how to shootdown the Norcal Birds(it's easy just aim for the wing) and watch them fall.

Trophy will be presented by Rocklin Automotive. It will be awarded to the grudge winner. The trophy will be engraved with:

NorCal 3rd Gen Camaro/Firebird
Shootout Winner
June 14, 2008
Presented by Rocklin Automotive

 

I should be there. I'm hoping the combo will get me a low 14 but we'll see.

 

hopefully I can make it, wont be in a thirdgen

 

Count me in! Im going to have my slicks ready to go!

 

I will try to go. Depends on if I have insurance or not. If not, Ill see if my dad wants to drive my bird out there and we will take turns taking it down the track... My dad is cool like that!

 

Stuck the thread up top - I'll send a mass email out the week before.

Not sure if I can make it yet, but we'll see how the next couple weeks go.

 

You better go bro! I want a rematch! LOL

 

20 dollars on the LS1 Camaro with slicks.

 

I will sooo take that bet. Any other takers?

 

I Support the Procharger 'Bird. Represent!

 

Gears, check. slicks, check. 110 gas, check. full bottle of juice, check. TH400, check.
Tissues for the Camaro guys, check. I'll even bring a mop to clean up Bennies tears.

Del you gotta be there. We need more Firebirds Representing.

 

Hell, If I can make it, Ill bet on joeys side. 20 bucks anyone?Del?

Just like anything you hunt, it has to be in front of you before you can put it in your sites!

It will probably be like last time, "why doesnt this thing work?"

 

haha, Marc's got jokes!

You've got 20 on Joey? Done. /handshake

These better be some amazing slicks son!

Do you want my Paypal address now, or later?

 

I'll take that $20 Travis. you dont even have to show up, just call me w/ a cc #. haha

 

If I go, I might need some help with some tuning. Let me know if I can get a hand...anyone?

 

AHHH CRAP!!! Why you guys putting pressure on me now! LOL... Just for the record im not putting any cash down

on a serious note, do you think i can knock off .5 seconds off my time with slicks??

 

To bad its not towards the end of june. Getting closer to coming home. 31 days left maybe alittle more. I will be back around june 25 I know that for sure. If not Theres going to be hell. Wish I could show up an support an meet ya guys.

ahh hah, that's why you took those pictures ehh. Pretty clever. Better post the rest now. No reason to post later.

 

Rocklin Automotive to the rescue. What do you need help with? Just give me a call at the shop
916-315-0335

 

so what exactly do I have to do to go home with this trophy, cuz I have no intention of hanging out in lane 7 with the rest of you

 

Im guessing the fastest wins the trophy. Jesse, if you run you car you get the trophy.

 

what i was thinking but i'd rather hear it from the horses mouth. If it's some ladder type deal don't even wait around, i'll be in a couple lanes over

 

If you dont want to hang out with us, Why do want the Trophy so bad???

Yes there will a sign in, & even a ladder. Its called heads up eliminations. Dont even bother qualifying.

 

Will they allow you to race without a hood?

 

I can drive down there, I just need some fine tunning, thats it. It is just a little rough.

 

Qualifying? Is the field really that big

I have bigger fish to fry

if you have an aircleaner yes

So far, it's looking like I can make it on the 14th.

 

i need space!!!

 

There is a really good chance I will be there. You guys will need to help me do some tuning though.

 

Awww.. Dang I want to go, but my Bird is not ready yet!

Will anyone be committing themselves to posting photos and results?

What do you need "tuned" ?

What will it take to get you & the Firebird out there?

 

I might need some Fuel Pressure adjustments, Possible Timing, Probably not though. I Dont really know, a few minor tweeks.

This is more for streetable 3rdGens. But if you'd like to bracket race for the trophy, I'll race ya. Its all for fun. My bird will be a 9-10 second contender for the 09 season so, be careful. I've beat Artie & Joe Brown, ....so

 

[QUOTE=3rdBird;3771848]Everybody loses when there's a bracket race . It's cool you guys have fun with your lil ladder deal. It's really not important to me, i was planning on being there the 14th before i even read it on here, just so happened to see i might even win a trophy. Definetly not why im going, you guys have fun.

 

[quote=JesasaurusRex;3771904]Dude, who is this "everybody" that loses when bracket racing? cause when I bracket race, someone wins & someone loses, and as for our "Little Ladder" it will be fun for us, especially since we're not "Professional racers" like you.
BTW, just how fast is your rocket? Its cool,, it doesn't matter, maybe you're just too good for us...maybe even too good for this website. I dont know,it seems like posting here is just like hanging out w/us. Maybe when my car get into the 10's you will come by and hang out with me,. But wait..if I get into the the 9's & your still in the 10's...does that mean we cant hang out???

 

[QUOTE=3rdBird;3773075]That was my way of saying bracket racing is g*y. Whoever said i was a professional? You're the one that's setting up a ladder and making people qualify . However im assuming you're providing the trophy so set it up however you want. Don't get butt hurt when I choose not to participate because it's not my bag. Should just add a disclaimer to the "fastest third gen in norcal" and add "excluding these cars...". My "rocket" is slow, 23* sbc, single 4150 carb, 3 pedals, stock suspension, 10" tire. Definitely nothing to brag about. I know plenty of people who post here personally so i donno how im too good for anybody. There's a good amount i don't know, yourself included. 8s, 14s, i wont hang out with you regardless because you already made yourself out to be an *** clown. Everybody that knows me is very welcome to stop by and say hi, just like every other time i see everybody. If i see ya first i'll do the same. Same goes with those who i haven't met. The only thing thats changed is you some how think you're a somebody.

 

Let's keep it decent in here folks.

If it's not your bag, fine, let it go.

 

I tried doing that right here

 

ok, I'm done.

 

Ok, so I just picked out a trophey, & its about 18" tall. I also checked into some "FlexFit" hats w/ Rocklin Automotive & the TGO emblem on it. I'll order 3 or 4 for me. Does anyone want one for themselves? Let me know.

 

ill take one/purchase one

 

I'll buy one Mark. Good promo for the shop too.

 

I just came back from the embrodery place & the TGO emblem cant be "digitized" to look correct. so I'll probably just have it spelled out How should it look?
"ThirdGen.ORG"
"thirdgen.org"
THIRDGEN.ORG NORCAL
any ideas??

 

NORCAL
THIRDGEN.ORG

 

use the old font we had with the norcalthirdgen.org

 

I'll hold off on my offer to buy at this time, since the TGO emblem can't be made to look correct.

 

I need a digital image to have it sewn on. but the image can be silkscreened...maybe some t shirts in the fall???
