to those who are going what times do you plan on running? as mentioned earlier about the tech don't push it, you might not get flagged initially but if you make it to the 16 you better have your gear. i saw an older episode where a guy had a mid 10s 1st gen camaro and he had no roll bar, but they have since cracked down. so what legitimate numbers does everyone plan on running, we should be there with a mid 11 (no cage) monte SS and a mid 9s 55

Gainesville is an NHRA-owned track so I think they will be enforcing the rules pretty much. A few Pinks All-out races I've seen already have been missing a bunch of safety gear (one from Rockingham running a 11 second class with one guy without a firejacket in the Honda that made the final 4 and the '68 Camaro that also made the final 4 without a roll bar using lap belts. What a joke.

Mark went to NHRA.com and set his car up by
using their rules.

i'm pretty sure he does.
have mark give him a call or i'm sure they'll see each other this weekend.
i don't think they are the driving kind (probably bumper pull) but i could be wrong.

I saw him over in Hilliard at Coles house. Mark is working on the
vette. I talked to him about it. We can get a truck to pull it, the
same one Marked used 2 weeks ago. Rick said that it sleeps 5, so
we might have to find out about getting 2 of them. Good price to.

There is a family that lives a few miles from us with a bus type rv.
It's a '98, but it's for sale. I think that I'm going to find out if they
are willing to rent it from Thurs-Sunday. What is a good negotiating
price to offer??

One of 2 of the cars are done. The second is not too far from finished. I'm not going to head down. I'm trying to save money and will be working instead. I wish everyone on here good luck. It would be cool to see one of you guys on tv.
