Tim i went to the njfboa website and checked out the info about the dyno. around $50 isnt bad. Id definately be down to dyno, dont know about racing though because i think everyone there could wipe hte floor with my LO3..unless there are gonna be other 305 third gens there or maybe a mid-late 2nd gen car. Anyway, might be a stupid question, but if i dyno my car, could they datalog it or something so i could have it sent somewhere for a custom chip, or its basically just like we do the dyno and see how much power we got and thats it?

 

the 4 main bracket classes are foot brake. t-brakes are allowed in heads up and the open bracket if you wanna use them.
hope to see you there.

 

the dyno will be jsut power pulls and a print out. there will be a wide band available to data log your air/fuel ratio at an additional charge. i have to get some more things set with the track and the dyno people before i can call this locked in though.

most of the racing is bracket style. so what ET your car runs is not as important as consistancy. if a car is faster you get a handicapped start, if your oponent is slower, you get to spot them a little. fun stuff, and a good place to start learning to race before you drain a bank account or two to go heads up racing

lookin forward to seeing you there.

 

here is a little video that one of the guys who came up from delaware put together from the event.

Looking foward to going to the event this year. A bunch of members wentr last year and said it was a blast...

 

it was great having your crew come down last year hawkeye. we are expecting to at least double the number of cars participating this year and hoping to add a bunch more to the weekend to make it worth the travel.

todays big news...................THE DATE IS LOCKED IN!!!!!!!
Date: Sunday, August 20th

now that the date is locked up we will be able to follow up on a lot of the plans that we had started before. expect a lot of updates over the next several weeks as we lock in more for the nats and some thigns for the rest of the weekend.
start making those vacation plans now i hope to see you all out at the 2006 East Coast Nats.

 

since the nats are on sunday, and we are looking to fill in the rest of the weekend with activities................who woudl be interested in an f-body vs mustang shoot out on friday night.
been talking to the track some more and they are very interested in the idea. the number of lanes available to us woudl determine what kind of racing action it turned into. figure we would start with a foot brake bracket race and jsut build from there.

this sound interesting to you guys? i am gonna talk more to the track and see what we cna come up with. picking on mustangs seems like a good way to kick off the weekend

 

I'll probably make the trip again. Had a great time at the last one. Even though the heat was insane. I think the potential rain forecast scared off alot of people.

I was suprised to see my car make it into the video . The end "moment of silence" shot was also one of our members cars. I lmao when I saw that.

A few shots from last years event.





V6 and DR trophy winners.

hey everybody,
i jsut wanted to get this highlighted again to remind everyone that we are just over a month away from the '06 east coast nats.
it is going to be a blast seeing everyone out there again.
the nats will also be serving an additional purpose this year as the promotional kick of point for the racing series that the NJFBOA will be running in '07. please come out and show some support for the car show and racers.
see you all in august

 

So is there need to register or anything like that to attend, or do I just show up? Can't wait.

looking forward to seeing you there.

 

jsut wanted to remind everyone that we are only a few weeks away from the east coast nats. it is gonna be a great time with lots of cool show cars and great racing action.
i am looking forward to seeing you guys there.

i checked 4 different weather reporting services earlier today. it is all good, mid-80's and mostly sunny
it shoudl be a hell of a day for racing. the weather has been good so the track should be hookin and the air won't be too bad considering it is august.
looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

 

i'll be there. not sure if im racing or even gonna have the car for that matter- trans shop will determine that, but i'll be there

byob? i don't know island's policy...

 

they don't allow booze/beer at island. if you do decide to bring something, keep it on the DL, cause they will confiscate it.

i hope you have the car back and ready to run. good luck!!
