That's the same day as the North vs South race @ 41. If I can't set up any races for that, I will be at the open house.

Great, now instead of having a nice day of enjoying everybody's company, I'm going to have to take my car on and off the dyno all day? Because you know I won't be able to pass up the burnouts. Just need my line lock put in now.

Alex

I'm in Oak Lawn but i would be up for meeting with people somewhere.

if I am not working that day I will be in for sure. i will try and get my friend to come also.

Alex, I will meet you downtown I don't care!

I live in BUrbank, maybe 99fbody will cruise up there with me!

if I am not working that day I will be in for sure. i will try and get my friend to come also.

you going to hit the track this friday...we still got to line up unless you are dodging me:devil:

Thats cool the more the better. We can meet up in front of my Dealership at 1111 W Division,Division and Elston. My condo is like 3 blocks away but the street is all messed up. Then we can get back on the highway from there and have some fun.

Alex

Possibly. I was able to pick up a job at the nuclear plant. So not sure my hours right now. My buddy went to 41 last saturday I believe for corvetteforums track day. I guess the track was not hooking for anything. He had a best of 2.0' 60 ft.

Not dodging you man, lol. Have to see how my new job plays out. Then again it was only a 4-6 week call. :bang:

I'd like to line up with you as well i am trying to get out of work to go the 17th scc

make it happen...i am just hopign they have a good turnout so they prep the track well...

i still want a lane with you too haha :)

well all the guy's that Run up at RSD are pissed off and saying there not going to RSD and that there going to SCC so i think it will be good:secret:

I'd like to line up with you as well i am trying to get out of work to go the 17th scc

:pimp:
I will see what happens with my work.
Although the last two times I have gone to SCC a blue mustang has hit the wall and that was it for racing that night, lol! My buddies barely got in one run. The only to get lots of runs I see is to say it is a money race, which it is not. That way you bypass everyone.
If the work is weekends too then I will be done for the year. Car will be going on storage insurance till spring.

btw are your guys Camaro's full weight?

i am 3450 with me in the car

i should be there

btw are your guys Camaro's full weight?

about as light as that vet is...:D

Count me in!

about as light as that vet is...:D

haven't had a chance to weigh mine. Although I have guys say that with a 1/4 tank of gas the car weighed in under 3100 pounds. Was going to weigh mine the first time I was at 41 but the scale was under water, lol!!!

Is your car silver? I had seen one sitting outside by the lake on the west side of I-57 in manteno?

I'll try to make it and bring another guy

Domestic rice? :D

ya i might be a 4 banger, but i hand built that car, made that bumper which btw is all plastic, that car is my cruisin lookn low n`kool car
you may not like it call it "ricer" but i built it for me and me only

Good for you. That looks like it took some skill so thats cool in my book.

for the specials... were not exactly sure what they will be yet but we are most likely going to offer a percentage off parts and/or labor.

Not sure really. I have no motivation to go to do anything car related after my shit broke.

XPNDBL3, Are you still running that bad ass twin turbo setup? If not whats new?

Alex

is the open house rain or shine?

North v South at 41 is that day, otherwise id go.

Doesnt N VS S start at 3? That means there's at least 4 hours to be here before you have to be there at 3!

Gates open at noon. looks like it might rain though.

yup weather looks shitty for the weekend...40% chance

damn it starts at 10! thats early enough for you guys to serve breakfast. I'll take my eggs over easy lol.

are you going to be there now mike?

and btw... I like mine over easy too. Are you guys serving skillets? lol

You Bradley guys want to meet up again for the cruise down there? And if Chris and Scramblerman go?

You Bradley guys want to meet up again for the cruise down there? And if Chris and Scramblerman go?

i figure meet at my house at 930 since its on the way...can u make it?

So you guys are planning on being there right at 10? Whose meeting at your house Eric?

I might be down... i just found out I may get some overtime this week, so I'll have to play it by ear.

So you guys are planning on being there right at 10? Whose meeting at your house Eric?

well i dnt care wht time we get there at, i was just throwing out a time, just joe's meeting at my house, but i was hopeing u and justin and whoever could meet at my house again so we can have a convoy

well i dnt care wht time we get there at, i was just throwing out a time, just joe's meeting at my house, but i was hopeing u and justin and whoever could meet at my house again so we can have a convoy
Bring my extension!

Bring my extension!

lol o ya....alright

Justin is on days for this weekend:bang:

wtf...so just us three again lol?

I'm there and will cruise with you guys. Have to see how this weather plays out.

i work till 5 what time do you think you will all be there till

i work till 5 what time do you think you will all be there till

i thought you recently came down with the flue? haha

i think so

I'm there and will cruise with you guys. Have to see how this weather plays out.

u going to take taht think to the track before the year is over

im goin either way, but even if it doesn rain like they are callin for in the a.m. u guys will still have the open house right?

I'm still goin. Rockin the cavalier lol

lol why? whts wrong with ur car

Pending Monsoon or Tsunami we'll still be here. Most current weather forecasts says light showers in the AM, the partly sunny for the rest of the day, so it looks like it should still be a decent day.

Yea thats what I saw on the forcast too.

Maybe we could leave like 11-12 so that way it hopefully stops raining by then?

u going to take taht think to the track before the year is over

to be honest, most likely not. I would like to but money is tight right now. That and if something breaks on the car I won't be able to fix it for a long time. If times get really bad and I require selling the car, it is a lot easier to sell a car that runs and drives than a broken one. Also if I do go to the track I really can't beat on it that hard. Clutch won't last dumping and going down the track. My luck something would break. Believe me when I say that. I'm the only guy that can twist a rear end pinin shaft on a cai and full exhaust a4 f-body on street tires! :bang:

I'm down for the show, weather permitting. I will check here often in the morning and see what is going on.

me and joe are gnna leave around 11:15 or so

alrighty looks like i will be goin tomorrow. you guys wanna convoy an assortment of DD up there in the rain lol?

just checked the weather and it looks like the rain should be all done by 9am :cheers:

nice...just when i get out of work lol

no rain so far!!!

checked weather.com and it looks like no rain in the forecast. high of 55 but going to be windy. My buddy in his Z06 should be going also, he will just meet me up there. So where and when do you guys want to meet down here????

we'll see you all here! We're open now!

I got a little nervous on the last one there. It was a little fast for just the front brake. She stopped ok though. :D

We were all hoping you remembered you didnt have a back brake but all went well so no worries.
