get together at the track

[civicex_1134]

I put this on every year and the past few years i have got a good response and had quite a few people show and have a great time. This year im hopin for a lot more, and have posted this on 5 message boards. I havent picked a date yet, but it will def be at Tri-state again. Have gone there everytime i set this up and the majority of people that go seem to enjoy it there. Mostly, im posting this early enough to get an idea of who would show up and who wouldnt. And to kinda have a place to talk about it and/or throw around ideas on when. I do know that this is a lot of fun for anybody that goes, and i always get PMs from people sayin i should put this on again, so here i am putting this together for the 3rd year in a row. Hope to see you there!

Thanks,
Dallas

No donuts in the gravel when we leave.
Hippies with Evos must have their A/C compressors in working order.
Don't shave your head the day before you stand in the sun for 8 hours.
Don't throw ice cubes... no matter how harmless it may seem.

I'd like to see if the Vette can beat 13.7. It feels quite a bit quicker. I'll go.

[86svo9L]

I may be in depending on the date. I really just want an excuse to escape to the track and see what my car runs before the shootout.

Wife works the weekend shift in the ICU helping kids that get too ballsy with their goPro cameras and all the street/grudge racers that come into the hospital late at night ;) On the plus side she doesn't work weekdays and gets paid extra and we have no daycare costs.

Tri-State Raceway has that day labeled "Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman, Trophy, High School, Junior Dragster". Whenever I attend events there it's usually labeled "Test & Tune" or "Test & Tune, Street Legal / Sport Compact". Is this date correct?

I'm just asking because some Thunderbird SC owners are trying to set up a date but they can only do April 22 or 29 if they want a spring event.

[Fiero]

I've never been to the track before, but it looks like fun. I can get this weekend off so I might be going.

[Xboosted23X]

That is a long drive for me but I might be able to make it. I have a auto x the following day also so I won't pry race.

I was thinking the same thing, they only had a few "test and tune" dates. So i called the track manager, and he said as long the date doesnt have "special events" which are labeled in colors, there is always test and tune. So i picked a date with no colored lettering.

[mcvay98]

Im in, we might just bring ashleys car out if curiosity :p

[civicex_1134]

Just wanted to update this for once, lol. This day is less than 3 weeks away! Just wanted to have kind of a final roll call so to speak to see who is still interested in going.

[Batwood]

Looks like I work now... fml.

[Deimos]

CFR is doing a TNT

[civicex_1134]

Anyone? Ill be goin regardless, just seein if anyone want to follow me up and have a good time!

[AutoMods]

i should stay home and work and work on my car, i'm way behind

[FiFdYnUtZ]

How did the tristate get together go?

[civicex_1134]

How did the tristate get together go?

Hasnt happened yet... Its in 2 weeks on the 19th

[Deimos]

Who is gonna be out next weekend?

[86svo9L]

I am out. My youngest sister has her Graduation party this Sunday back in my home town. So I am road tripping the 5 hours up there and coughing up some mandatory cash. Wish I could make it though.

[z28z34man]

I won't be able to make it as well. I haven't had time to get all the bugs worked out yet.

[Batwood]

I'd say you should post-pone to the next Saturday, but I'm pretty sure I'm busy that weekend too... :(

[Deimos]

Man havent I waited long enough to drag you down the track? Nah my part aint here anyways. But I at least want to get some seat time in.

[mcvay98]

Ill be there

[civicex_1134]

theres a event on fb and looks like theres some people still goin. hope to see people there. hoping for some low 15's, woohoo!!!

[DustinsDuster]

at that speed, shouldn't you just say "hoping to have some fun!"? just sounds better than bringing up 15 second ets.

[86svo9L]

What did everyone run?

[mcvay98]

Neon ran a 13.7 with a 2.3 60' :drive:

[86svo9L]

Nice. With some sticky tires you will really knock that ET down.

[Sleepy]

What MPH?

[CiviC_boY]

This event was a joke.

[Sleepy]

This event was a joke.

:haha:
I know its a bit far for you guys however Eddyville has a Midnight deal on Friday nights. I went for test and tune last Friday and it was pretty dead until about 10pm then I swear the place tripled the amount of cars that were there. Now not all of them were quality. However there was quite the quantity.

[mcvay98]

104

[JacobS]

This event was a joke.

Agreed....

[slo4cyl]

I took down a FWD that went 13.2@ 122 on 16-18 psi, then sheared a carrier shaft when we started to turn the boost up.

[civicex_1134]

Agreed....

x2

[Jappbox]

I didnt show up because im looking to better my time and a strong south wind that they predicted did not show up till around noon, I could have come and made my passes and left by then. Ill shoot for another day. Dallas did you run your 15's?

[CiviC_boY]

Was he running slicks at the track.

Who cares that much about wind? Its not that big of a deal...I thought you you were all about just having fun?

No bfg drag radials

I was at Eddyville last Friday. Track prep was complete shit, worse than CFR. I like how they raise their prices then dont prep the track. I mean seriously whats the point in running eighth mile if you cant get traction? It was pretty sketchy spinning the 60' on my bike! I doubt I'll go back.

[h22apwrd94]

That is the problem with midnight madness. After the street cars start to run 90% of the runs, they are not laying down any good rubber. Take that along with a track that is majorly cooling, and you have a recipe for no traction. The traction was nice to start the night, but by the end of the night, I was spinning the slicks in second and top of third.

[Jappbox]

I am about having fun but whats the point in the track? I slip, So if i want to better my time I dont want a cross wind and have them shut down to 1/8 mile. If I want to have fun I go out to the highway. Track is for a Slip and a slip only. unless you have a auto and enter classes were the payout dont even cover your expences. LOL

[FiFdYnUtZ]

You have quite the theory there...

[K-ville]

This makes me laugh. I think with this statement you have become a true viper owner! Only i translate the words slightly different... To me i read well my viper is built but has no true purpose so there is no point to taking it to the track when i could be out on the highway with way more people to see me in my viper while i roll race neons.









Sorry haha i couldnt resist.

[slow ride]

I'd only go to the track on good days also. Much easier to break a IRS manual car than a auto so I'd save my junk for the good days only. CFR had a hell of the tailwind last weekend, but it was on the warm side. Friday nights at CFR are decent, but the track prep is going to be lacking due to street tire cars driving through the water box.

[c_mart_28]

I'm kinda the same way actually.

My best passes last summer were in the 10.5 range (during the shootout) and by just waiting until a good day in late fall I was able to drop more than two tenths off my personal best. I just don't want to break my car on a day where I won't even come close to my personal best.

It was nice talking to you friday Mike.
After the midnight madness started it was not much fun watching anymore. With out seeing what people run its all crap.
It could be because I did not know anyone there.

I did notice they raised the entry fee cost to $30 bucks. I remember when I use to race it was maybe $20 bucks. Granted this was 10 years ago.

Hearing the faster guys talk about breaking makes me want to pick up another stock car to race. I use to go every weekend with my bolt on car, I was the slowest in the group I went with however I was always having fun.

[skipdownstairs]

Who's the guy in the newer dark blue Corvette spraying the shit out of it. He was at cedar falls midnight mania and I heard he was down to Eddyville as well... Is that you slow ride??

Eric Fox

[Sleepy]

Did it have slicks on older c5 looking wheels?

There was a car fitting that description, I can not remember what it was running, however it did scoot pretty well.

[skipdownstairs]

Im pretty sure it had drag radials on c5s but didn't get much time too look, car hauls ass pretty good.

Is he on this forum

[Sleepy]

Could have been drag radials, did not pay to much attention other than the rear wheels were different than the fronts.
I do not know who he is.

[slo4cyl]

thats eric fox, I believe he had DOT slicks on there. He was at eddyville and lost in the finals to a mustang is what i was told

[slow ride]

It's a auto converted heads cam c5 z06 on da jug. Not sure how much he sprays.

[JustaGT]

Yeah that car definitely moved out. If i remember right it was mid 10s... Hope to see it up at the next midnight race

[skipdownstairs]

Sure does anybody else planning on going to Cordova midnight mayhem tomorrow night

[Jappbox]

I would go, but im really picky about track conditions and chance of Storms Friday night. Last time I went with a Friend to Cordova Midnight we sat there for 3 hours while sprinkled on and off and then they finally said to go home. Remember Andy? that SUCKED waste of a night.

Andy was there that night, I would go if I had my new valve cover but I better wait. Andy you better win it!

If it is the same car I am thinking of, it wasn't a Z06.

[slow ride]

Yea might be, just remember it's the same color as my car and it was a 6 speed at one point. At this points in mods it really doesn't matter what it started out life as :)

[90blkbrd]

Agreed. I just remember it not being a FRC.

You'll have to forgive him. He's a purist.

[90blkbrd]

You'll have to forgive him. He's a purist.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said FRC instead of Z06 in my first post. Now go back to your tree house you little Ewok.

[sparkles]

So, because you're bald, you're gonna make fun of people with hair?

[90blkbrd]

So, because you're bald, you're gonna make fun of people with hair?

Hey! I'm follically challenged. :grumble:

I was just having fun with your location. "Location Forest Moon of Endor"

But now that I think of it, you really should consider manscaping. :bigeyes:

[skipdownstairs]

Andy was there that night, I would go if I had my new valve cover but I better wait. Andy you better win it!

Yeah that sucked, I just peeked at the forecast looks like the same shit from last time I'm gna get everything ready and botch at last minute if I have to Im going home to look for the valve cover for you Brent I'll text ya and let you know
