Re: Thunder Shootout... 57 days and counting down!!!!!! He doesn't take any crap off of me... well, not too much, anyway <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> The fact he stands up to me is a major reason I married him. Who wants a doormat? Well, OK, you're right, most women want a doormat, but not me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: Thunder Shootout... 57 days and counting down!!!!!! LMAO! Mir, are you trying to get Sean drunk? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> I'm sure we won't be lacking any discussion topics once everyone arrives. Maybe we can all caravan to Baton Rouge on Friday, so long as you don't want to drive 85 MPH! I'll be in tow. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I would seriously consider this event if it weren't so far down south. That's a heck of a drive from Ohio, and then hotel costs, gas costs, racing costs, all just too much for me.
Would be nice if next year we could try to have events like this a little more "central" so more could have fun <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Right now I count a little over 40 people. That's hardly enough for two classes, much less all the classes you are trying to fill. I can see what will likely happen. One bracket group and one group for the all out racing.
IMO, the event needs to be a little more convenient for racers, not sponsors, and less restrictive to attract more racers.
Just my 2 cents <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Re: Thunder Shootout... 57 days and counting down!!!!!! Whether there is 40 or 400 people there it will still be a GREAT time...there is no doubt in my mind about that. I had my hotel and everything set for MMRA, but plans fell through at the last minute and couldn't make it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Even though turnout wasn't that great I still wish I could've been there. To race, meet knew people (and catch up with some old friends), learn some things, and most of all HAVE FUN! No matter where an event is held it will always be more covienent for some than for it is for others. Just find some friends, a bunch of walkie-talkie radio thingies <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> and caravan down there! The trip down to BG and Bristol with a bunch of other Chicago/IN F-body owners was a blast!! Tiring, yes...but still fun!
I'm all signed up this Shootout and hotel is booked. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
I can't wait to meet (and see again) more of you guys/gals. Only a 17.5 hour and 990 mile drive from the Land of Lincoln!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

Re: Thunder Shootout... 57 days and counting down!!!!!! Ive been burning up the lights in the garage working on my ride to get it done in time for Outlaw.
Ill make the trip because like Pris said, these events are a BLAST!! 3rd gen or 4th gen owner, you always have fun. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Hope to see you folks down there. I probably wont know till very close to the event if I will make it or not.
