Hey everybody, I'm thinking about heading down to atco tomorrow to check this event out. Anyone know how many cars are gonna be there, is this a big event or just like a club get together.

 

its meant to be a big event. i didnt make it down today, so i dont know how it went, but im going tomorrow.
it should be a great time.

 

yeah we'll be there were trying to win the heads up class

 

Fran----thanks for the cam & header install again, how's the shop going? I might see you down there tomorrow, depends on what father in law wants to do, being Fathers day and all.

 

no prob man..... its busy as ****.... ill be down there tomorrow

 

hey gang,
thanks to everyone that came out. we had a blast today. not a huge crowd, but pretty strong with 60+ racing. handed out soem cash and a whole lot of trophies.

the NJFBOA's next big deal is the east coast f-body nationals. we have more classes and are expecting an even larger crowd. it is august 20th at island dragway. check out www.NJFBOA.org to get all the details on times, costs, and classes.

thanks again for coming out gang. hope to see you all at more events real soon.

 

I know I said it last year but I will say it again this year. You want a bigger turn out - don't have theses events when it's 90+ degree weather out. Early spring or late fall when it's cooler out and people watching or people waiting in the staging lanes won't get sun burn and the cars will run at there best instead of 2-4 tenths off there mark cause it's so hot out. I plan on going to Island's event but I know right now the car will be off pace because of the heat we will see in aug. I think it's great that you guy's are throwing these events but it would be that much better with out the extream heat

 

Fran---what did you run?

 

the heat may have been a little factor but the bigger thing was that it was Father;s day.

 

Not very good it was deff. way to hot out to be running a car..... it went 9.5 at 142....

 

LOL ...heat was not a factor for you unless you run 8's

 

Yes way too hot, 93 today, I just stayed in the pool. Anyone took vids?

 

This is the truth. There's not too much you can do about the heat...it's a bit of a gamble, but you may want to rethink the Father's Day date (I had to drag the whole family down so they could be with Dad ).

Still, it was a very good event (except for the bike oil down! ).

 

It was cool to see soo many F-bodies. The only thing that wasnt cool was the heads up class, there was no lader so u ran who ever pulled up next to u. It sucked had the 2nd fastest car in the class and i lost first round to a 3 gen race car that should of never been in the class. It should of been all ls1/Lt1 and tune port in the class, but i stll had a great time.

 

It was still an F-Body, was it not? I don't remember seeing the event limited to 4th generation cars. If you ask me, there weren't near enough 1st gen cars there!

 

Ya it was an F-body. Whos going to beat an prostock car? Just sayin rules should of been set up better. No Ladder in heads up class? Still a nice car.

 

A Funny Car would of beat it..lol.. Serious there were some 14 second cars in that class and thought they were insane..

I heard the 3rd gen car talking smack and I laughed when I saw it run in that class..

It was a good day and I'm sure with some feedback and volunteers it could grow into a better event for next year.

 

The couple of runs I saw, it didn't sound that great going down the track. I don't know what kind of problems he was having.

 

It was a good and all. Got some test runs with the new setup so im happy. Hope some people come out to the EFI event in july.

 

haha yeah right...
