Default Bithlo Drag Strip Friday November 2nd

Okay, I know that it's a bit of time away, but here goes.

I try to get a group together when I know that I'm going to be able to make it out to Bithlo.

Meeting spot is 5:00 pm, Nov. 2nd at the McDonald's at S.R. 50 (Colonial) and Chuluota Rd. I like to get there a bit early and let the cars cool down at the gates and then the starting line after tech check.

Anyways, if anyone else wants to meet me there, I have a small group going as of right now, and you are more than welcome!!!!!!!!! The more the merrier.

I'll see everyone there! I would also advise BEING AT THE DRAGSTRIP by 5:30. I guarantee some will be there by 5:00. There are already going to be loads of people there itching to run their stuff because we don't have Wed/Fri TNT during Street Nationals week.

Get there early so you can be the first in the lanes, because when you're up front, I can throw you a few extra passes

I've been itching to get out to the track, but my roommates are never interested in running their cars anymore because they're so dissapointed at either how shitty they drive or how slow their car actually is.

Given the weather is cool and dry, I'd like to head out there with you all. I probably won't be out there quite as early, but if I can get out of work a little sooner I might be able to meet you guys at McDonalds.

Nitrous will be ready to spray, so, it prob will be a good time for me to get out there see what she'll do on the 150 wet kit. Hope to see you all out there.

Broke my alternator (That doesn't look like it's spelled right, but whatever) so I'm not going to be able to make it. Don't have the time or money right now to fix it. Oh well, hope everyone that goes has a great time!!!!

Dana ... thanks for the heads-up. This will be the last time out for me without the ability to spray.

I wish, I got myself into a major money crunch with some bad investments, so as of right now, I am 99% sure i won't have the $150 to buy a new alternator, or however much it takes to buy a new one. Anyone happen to have a spare laying around that I could borrow??????

Hey it's worth a shot........

Got the alternator fixed, so I'm DEFINITELY going to be there. Any idea how hard it is to fix an alternator WITHOUT jack, jackstand, lift, ramps or anything? Well, I know how hard it is, and it sucks!!! But car runs again, YIPPEE.

Dana, can you introduce yourself to me at the track? I've never met you before. Here is a pic of my car for reference:

I completely forgot that I bought tickets to go see the Trans Siberian Orchestra this Friday. I hate to bail on what seems like is going to a great time at the track, but these tickets were way too pricey to let go. This sucks
