Anyone coming to the Vernon cruise/street races? Hey,
The Vernon cruise is next weekend (Aug 12-14) and it's a HUGE cruise, over 1000 cars, and they say the show is even bigger.
Click here for more info.
They are also having heads up grudge racing at Wichita Raceway Park on Saturday night, starting at 10pm. This is probably one of the best all heads up racing action around, lots of $$$ tossed around.
Is anyone planning on coming?
Run what ya' brung, and hope it's enough!

You know I'll be there Lee. Randall, myself, and few other's I think are going to go pretty early and get a spot along the main street to hang out for the day. If you want a spot to park just let me know.
About the racing. Everyone I have talked to says they are going to stay in Vernon and race this year, wink wink....so I don't know who all will be going to the track. From what I've been told there is going to be major money won and loss this year, there are some very serious street cars coming from OKC, and there is a guy coming from west Tx. with his 67-68 Chevelle that is making 1400+ to the wheels with a EFI/Turbo motor. Saw the car 2 yrs ago in Vernon when it had a procharger and carb (still making 1200+rwhp). There is also supposed to be some mean cars coming from south Tx, and possibly a 1000rwhp Supra.
It's going to be wild this year! So everyone that can make it needs to come up to Vernon and enjoy the weekend!

I heard that there's going to be a lot of street racing on that Friday, but Saturday is when everyone is going to the track. That's just what I heard. I'd rather goto the track cause I'm slow on the street, not that I'm fast at the track.

He also said that FastTech was going to bring a few LS1's. Maybe one of their guys on here can confirm/deny it.
Also, this year Darrell (the track owner) said there are'nt going to be any classes like last year. Instead, if you want to race someone all you have to do is set it up and go to the staging lanes. He also said that as long as there are two cars in the lanes the track will stay open, so we could be racing till the sun comes up, haha.

A mutual friend of his and Billy O'Dell has already let Billy know that this guy is coming specifically to race Billy's small block camaro. It's going to be a good race, nitrous small block vs. turbo (bbc or sbc?). Billy beat him 2yrs ago in Vernon so I guess this guy is looking for some payback, haha.

Thats him. Have not seem him in years. He told me of his future turbo plans in the late 90's. Should be one wicked car. Its a 1967 BTW. I need to try to get off work early and come up.

That year it had a procharge and carb on it (don't remember if it was a big block or small block though), now it has EFI a big turbo that is making more power.

I thought you were still in Colorado and were going to miss the cruise. Barb and I will be going up Friday evening to see if we can scare up a race or two. On Saturday we are leaving the house at 6 pm. Anybody who wants to cruise up with us can just meet at the house.

Hey John, what's the word on any action Fri. night in Vernon? I have been hearing that a lot of the 5 and 6 sec. guys are just going to wait and race on Sat. at the track instead of risking it on the street. I'm just trying to decide if it will be worth it to head to Vernon on Fri night.

Jeremy, I'm going to do both. Last year Friday action was dead. One race was all I could dig up. Regardless, it sure beats doing nothing here on a Friday night.

I am not going to make it on Fri. night and I get off at 6 on Sat. night. I will swing by Johns when I leave and see if anyone is still around. If not I will just meet you guys out there.
Or everyone could meet at AutoZone around 6 and we could leave from there.

Is anyone going to meet up on Fri. before heading to Vernon?
On Sat. myself and a couple of the guys from NX are planning on going to the track around 5:30 or 6:00pm to try and get a space along the fence. We'll probably bring a grill and do some cooking. If anyone want's to stop by their more than welcome too.
