Northwest Members - may 6th and 7th

Looks like t&t both days. I think i am going to spend the weekend at the track, anyone with me..

I'll be there on the 7th for the CCC opener... we'll see if I can be different than normal and actually survive past the 1st round.

I might race in the ccc meet, i will see how well i get it dailed in on the 6th

I will be there for the CCC. BTW - no faster than 10.0 @ 135 for the CC sardog.

That sucks.

I will probely run it on motor

When did that rule come on the CCC? The way things are going now days its not unheard of to see high 9 second street cars. Was there any reasoning behind this rule or has it been in place for a while now?

Because technically speaking, CCC is for street cars... aren't many street cars running around in the 9s. There are a few, but the vast majority are not street legal. Also, your tires need to be DOT approved. So ET Streets & Hoosier QTPs are about as wild as you can get on the tire... most 9 second cars are running the big ET Drags and such.

The reason the CCC was set up was for people who want to run brackets and not have to worry about competing against a Pro Comp car & driver. Of course, the drivers still compete under the NWMCA name just so they can add more trophies to the collection... :eyes: Those guys kind of miss the point of the CCC by having dozens of drivers who "double dip" in the different competitions, but whatever.

i'll be there jason...after last friday im getting super pissed at this whole weather scenario. I need to make it to the track bad to see what i have. What track, bremerton?

Also what time is the caravan leaving?

Nate

Yes, Bremerton. Gates open at 8:00. Most likely we northerners will need to leave (my house anyway) by 6 if we are driving around.

And I'm not sure when the 10 rule came into play, but since the roll bar req is still at 11.99, I'd say it was a couple years ago anyway.

I am going down fri night for the t&t. and then just staying till sat night, sunday.

Bremerton is the track nate.

I guess i will see alll you guys at the track on saturday.

Mark i still have your tent and stuff so i willl set all that up and be ready for you guys.

i willl set all that up and be ready for you guys.

Fresh brewed coffee and donuts waiting for us too? :jest:

Don't think you need the donuts jason :jest:

Remeber low raceweight=fast

Ain't that the damn truth... :cry:

That's ok... I can eat a donut, then remove something like the rear seats to make up for it. :nod:

I'll be there on the 7th, hopefully I can get a few runs in before it starts. Haven't been able to run yet with the nitto's and stall converter.

Shit, just take them all but the drivers seat.

I know what your saying, just got one eating a double quarter pounder :bang:

Hey Sardog where are you staying at up here, I have a free room if you need a place. May not be completely unpacked but who cares!

Probely at the track. They let people camp there overnight for the weekend gigs.

Thanks for the offer but I think we are just going to stay at the track, just a pain in the ass unloading, loading, unloading.

Sounds good buddy. There are stakes & ties in the bag if you want to leave the canopy up over night as a poor mans tent.

And that means I can take the ferry over since you will already be there, & Bill has to work.

Damn, I thought Ellis was harsh. :devil:

Damn, I thought Ellis was harsh. :devil:

That's ok... Jason and I were both commenting on how we need to lose weight that last time we were all at Hooters, just as we were downing a plate of wings and washing it down with beer. :lol:

I thought we were all in pretty good shape....round is a shape, right?

I thought we were all in pretty good shape....round is a shape, right?

That's right, it is a shape... too bad its a shape that doesn't lend itself to fast ETs. :bang:

If I were Doug's size, the damn car would be in the 11s already. Hmmm... maybe I'll stop eating now, and fast all the way until raceday. Maybe if I don't faint from hunger, the car will be faster... :jest:

Yeah, and if I had some skinnies for the front.....got $750 I can borrow Jason?

If I had an extra $750, I'd be in the 11s without having to starve myself this week. ;)

If you want, you can use my skinnies for a run on Saturday to see what you gain... that is, if I don't drive to there on the skinnies to begin with. My plan is to just change all four there at the track... glad I got my impact!

I need one of them too!

I'm probably going to end up wrenching on the Formula instead of racing... I would rather be racing, but I have too little time left to get everything back together.

Actually I had better plans for you Zeke. I'm not telling here because I hate to see a grown man cry. If you can get it running by Sat morning then shoot me a PM - you won't be dissapointed ;)

Unless Jesus himself comes to my house and miracles the car together on Friday, that's probably not going to happen. I still don't have the parts I need to put it together, and I wouldn't be racing it anyway because I can't risk breaking anything.

It has nothing to do with racing.
In fact, it won't be moving at all....once you got there anyway. Your car is prime for this, I was hoping you would have it running enough to drive to PT.

Jason, is this the impact wrench you have?

Mybee :jest:

How late do you all expect to be at the track?
I'll be in Port Townsend in the morning, not sure how long it will take but it would be fun to swing by and check out some of the time slips.

Uh, do you need a job or sumpin? cuz you are always asking to 'borrow' munny....:lol

jus kiddin, I know you have a job

Most of us will be there till they close.

I'll most likely be there some point Friday to practice my R/T's. Gonna be a little different this weekend, T/A will be down cause I gotta send my flywheel and pressure plate back to Ram, then put new clutch disc in when those get back, also doing 9".(btw, I'd wait till after this weekend to start the project, but since the clutch is slipping and got the stock rear, don't really wanna run it anyway.) Sooo...I'll be there in my turbo inline-6 vehicle :devil: . Hopefully I can get traction and be consistent. See y'all there!

Brian:usa:

Well i gues it will just be three of us, since all the rest are going to the show.

Hey jason, i will be there, just look for the black chevy truck, and my car shoul be right next to it. We should have marks tent set up, so look fo that.

Cool... if you can, get a space that's down along one of the paved parts. I'll need the solid ground for jacking the car up and changing wheels.

I'll look for you all most likely around 3ish.
*Someone* needs to take the pictures - I'll have the camcorder with me though you might have had your best runs by the time I show up.

Well huys it looks like I wont be making it after all. Just ballanced the old bank account thing and if i go racing i will be broke till the 15th. So i am going to have to pass on this weekend.

Sorry.

Good luck to all those that are going.

Dang it! Hubby was going to bring a professional recorder from work for runs - he won't do it if its under 5 cars (we have to rent it).
Still may swing by just for fun.

I don't think there was ever a race last year that had under 5 cars. It's normally 7 or more. Hope it doesn't rain, cause I am ready to go!

I'd rather be racing, to be honest... but I have my shocks back together and ready to go on the car, and I need to take the weekend to get a jump on getting ready for the Atlanta trip.

You will be missed, now I wont have anyone to bother all day....grrrrrrr Can't wait to see the clean engine bay though! :P

I decided to go tonight and Saturday...Only live 10 minutes away and have the itch to go....

It's dropped and has the 17" WS6 wheels on it now, too.. along with QA1 HALs, new LCAs, and a STB. Looks BAD ASS.

I'm going to try to take some pics this weekend.
