General classified on here too. ..Post in San Francisco/Sac/Stockton Craigslist areas.
Well I think this GTG is pretty cheap son, other than gas. Hit up your pops and tell him it's for a good cause. ..showing off his old 'bird.
Food = Pretty much free, donations accepted
Admission to spectate = $5
Time with 3rd gens = Priceless

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
Gotcha.
Well I'm not one to promote driving uninsured, especially at the track.
Just trying to offer a little encouragement, but it is how it is. Hopefully something works out for ya.

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
i'm going to try to be there if I avoid work or kids-sitting for that day. Someone said they have some drag radials I can borrow? I'm sure I'll be needing them, as I hope to break into the 17's 
Well some pre-mods runs will be fun enough, it is brackets right? Only did those a few times years back.
edit, hmmm, I better change out those original(?) 135k mi plugs first so I can hope to get into the 17s... hehe

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
doesn't look like the durango will sell in time to get the rest of the parts i need for the formula. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody again and running the S4. My stock intercoolers heatsoak pretty fast so i'll be spacing out the runs, unless the durango sells then i'll buy new ic's. My brother didn't get the z28, sucks but ohwell.

I am strongly considering doing just that, even though I'm likely to catch a case from it. We'll see, I might still make it.

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
Are you guys ready or what??!
Looks like we have a head count of 15+, but I'm assuming more with families and others stopping by, so for those in the list below, keep that # in mind on what you buy.
3rdbird - Gas grill / drinks, bottled water, cokes & ice.
Ramair21 - Dogs / buns
OUTATIME GTA - Plates/napkins
87tpi - Chips, potato/macaroni salad
86copchaser76 - Utensils + ketchup/mustard/relish

Ready, looks like the forecast calls for the rain to be done Wed & partly cloudy & 70ish on Sat.
What time should we start cooking? Who's doing the cooking anyway?
I'm going to try & save some spots around the end of the grandstands.

Anyone not racing that can man the grill? It's just dogs, very easy and I'm sure everything else we can just setup wherever Marc has room at the trailer.

Somehow word got around that I might try to call off that Saturday (I'm not sure how, I didn't even tell my wife yet), and I was threatened with my job if I call in. So, once again, count me out. Have a great time fellas.

i'll be there at 4 sharp also. A buddy might be bringing his stage 2 s4 or his built turbo mr2 also. Should be fun. I think my car and Del's should be close. Should run a high 12 - low 13.

where you gonna put it? is your pops coming too? I like that guy. I remember a shirt he wore to the track one time that said
"live right so the preacher doesn't have to lie at your funeral"
I'm not too religious, but that's good stuff.
Joey I have your No2 bottle filled & ready to go, I'll bring it tomorrow.

Re: Nor Cal Third Gen GTG Fall 09 - PART 2
Had a good time y'all. Weather was a bit sticky, but still decent.
Glad to see some new faces out today and that everyone who said they could make it out, actually did!
Thanks to all the folks who came through and brought the goods; Marc (3rdbird), Joey (Ramair21), Steve (87tpi) & John (86copchaser76).
Only snapped a few pics of some of us racers, but we had a few more 3rd gens out there; UndercoverTBI, Smokin Z and Wills91RS.
Disappointing times it seemed for most, but I was feelin' good with a new best of 12.6@111 and a 1.83 60'.
Let's do it again soon and it looks like we have some other ideas for future GTG's as well, cruising, dyno, etc.

Good times...hanging out that is, racing times,...not so good.
Ah such is racing. Back to the dyno. Hey theres a new GTG.
I know I'm going to SVS ASAP. I gotta break into 10's before the years over.
Hopefully my photoguy got some good pics.
