I am going to race and to see other thirdgens race,
Im just trying to get an idea because I would hate to have 100
TG's show up at an un rented track and get one run after a 4 hour drive. I have no problem contacting the track to try and make arrangments to accomodate us if need be.
Thanks

 

I plan to.....if things go correctly....I should be on my new setup by then

 

I plan to race.

Oh, and forget about renting the track, they want like $10k for it.

We could try to get a lane just for us though.

 

Ill be racing one way or another...

well hopefully if i am off that Weekend, not sure! i might come up..

but if i have to work that weekend, i am most likely just taking off on Saturday for the show...

 

ill prob be racin if i get the new rear in and all the trans crap done. ill be looking for mid 15's....

 

I'll do a couple of passes just to see what the car can do....

i wont have my car there so i wont be racing, but i will drive anybody elses car down the strip

 

I might take a few runs on the track.........I'll hopefully have some engine mods by then, to see what improvement i've made....

 

undecided yet

right now leaning towards not racing.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

same here depending on circumstances

 

Why not? It's been a long time...Looking forward to it.:lala:

 

I would love to get my 3rd gen down the track a couple times. I don't expect to win but it would be awesome. But i would like to know the saftey requirements for the track you plan to go to.

 

I think most are universal, but I'll check into it.

Anything in the 13s helmet, and a roll bar or cage for 12s, something like that, I'm sure someone else can be of more help.

 

I'm purdy sure that Cecil doesnt require you to have a helmet if you are running 14.0 or slower.. Once ya hit 13.99 or faster you gotta get one. Also to, IF you have a convertable and plan on racing, and going faster than 13.99(11.99 or faster if it isnt a vert) , they will check for a cage. Another thing is when you race there, you must have pants on (I forgot about this one time).

Just a few things

Kat

 

Yup, pants, though sometimes they over look that stuff.

Also, the battery must be secure.

 

That one too Mark, there must be a over flow bottle for the coolant, the car cant be visibly leaking anything what-so-ever , the drivers seat cant be loose, if it is a carbed car, there must be dual return springs on the throttle linkage....

A few more off the top of the head.

Kat

 

well count me out for racing.......by june my car should be in the 12's and no way am i putting a cage in my baby uh uh so i guess i will watch

 

You need a cage for 11.99 and below for NHRA,
Driveshaft loop for cars running slicks or M/T ET streets because they are soo sticky,also 5 point harness for 11.99 and under.
No more than 6" of rubber fuel line exposed- braided ok.

 

i plan on just running my car to see what it does, but i already know it's slow as hell. (91RS L03)

 

Im thinking about attending and would like to race if I am going to come that far.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: There will be a dyno there too..:hail:

Guido check your email, I'd like to talk to ya.

 

anything other than drag racing?

 

just a dyno, sorry i don't think there is an auto x, I'll check into it though

 

Im gonna run my for sure if I come up there...should have the heads, cam, and tranny by then

 

Id be afraid to run the car with the stock tranny, but I think I'd probably end up on the track for at least a pass...

 

if my car is done, i will be planning on racing.

 

ehh, it should be fine, heck I'm runnin a near stock tranny, just a plain jane rebuild. Course, once I get the new heads on and pushin about 390 hp or so, we'll see how it holds up.

 

with at 15.55 i wouldnt be too scared lol just j/k

 

Knock that 60' down, and it could touch 14s...

 

Im racing. i guess ill prolly get kicked off the track if everything goes right with the car, cuz im not caging my car.

 

I may make a run or two if I bring the T/A, the camaro is a no no. First of all, an 18 seconds pass is embarrassing and I dont want to put uneccessary stress on it. As for the T/A, working on a long distance towing plan first, then off it is. I want to run the car hard, and see what it can do. Hopefully with some pro action heads I will hit in the 13's with drag radials. Otherwise, expect me to run 14.3-14.5.

 

i saw someone post about auto-X...

MARK i dont know how set the location is but englishtown built a roadcoars...it will open in the spring..maybe if the place isnt set in stone u could look into that?...

whats the E?T limit for a cage or roll bar in a t-top car?

 

nah, we're keepin this in MD, sorry.

 

does any one know what the helmet rules are which ones are aloud and which ones are not i know i'll hit the 13's easly

 

13.99 and quicker require a helmet.

 

ohh and helmet must be snell 85 or newer approved.

 

just don't wear a bicycle helmet or something like that.

 

do they provide a helmet? or could you rent one or something?

 

most tracks i've been to in maryland do not provide nor rent out helmets. So you're gonna have to either barrow one from a friend or barrow someone's on the day of the event.

 

If it comes down to it tell them you are going to run 14 something and at worst they will boot you after you make a pass but doubt they will remember.

 

I will race if I don't break anything on the way there.

 

ok mark...just tossing an idea around...besides its not taht far from new york anyway....although i may be coming from michigan...

 

ohhh an about racing....ill do 50 passes if i can lol....

ill be done with my "fire breathin" 305 by then lol...

 

mark mentioned about renting a lane for us who attend..what about 2 lanes side by side so we could race thirdgens all day..

instead of a line of TG's racing nothing but imports n such lol

talk about "us vs. them"

 

This is exactly how I feel although my ride isn't as far, but I don't want to go all the way up there and get one run in after getting beat up by tech..........If there is a rental in the future please let me know cause I'll be there!

 

the new place I'm lookin at should be cheap enough for us to rent.
