Figured we could start talking about dates...

Sept 4th is coming up too soon... not a lot of time to plan. Kids are starting school that week, too.

Sept 11-12-13 would be doable.

Sept 19 - the Street-legal drags. This is pretty much an open Test/Tune. It's a Saturday.

The October one would be really nice, though, except you're never really sure about the weather then.
The air temps are fabulous, though... it's a wheelstand show for the big-HP cars.

SEPTEMBER 4TH: TEST AND TUNE....JACKPOT RACE AT 6PM
SEPTEMBER 5TH & 6TH: HEAVY STREET MEET ! jackpot & points
SEPTEMBER 11TH: TEST AND TUNE...JACKPOT RACE AT 6PM
SEPTEMBER 12TH & 13TH: TRI-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP !
JACKPOT & POINTS ! (KOT)
SEPTEMBER 19TH: STUTSMAN HARLEY STREET LEGAL DRAGS !

OCTOBER 2ND: TEST AND TUNE AND SEASON FINALS
OCTOBER 3RD: FINAL BIG MONEY JACKPOT
OCTOBER 4TH: FINAL POINTS AND KING OF THE TRACK !

I can bring a grill out to the track again. They seem to be bringing back the campers as well, so you could camp at the track all weekend. There's Hotels within 3-4 miles if you aren't the outdoorsy type.

For those not familiar with the usual way things go schedule-wise up here:

Friday - Street night, Test/tune. Usually from 2:30 until it gets dark.
Saturday - TNT and jackpot/eliminations. You can generally get quite a few runs in.
Sunday - Time trials and elims. You can do TNT too, but it never seems like you'd get a lot of runs.

It looks as though we'd be good for the 19th as well.

You got a crank replaced already? I can't even seem to get simple stuff done with mine. I best get on it.
Mike's Sy should be a little closer to ready by then as well.

The 19th it is. Pass the word far and wide. We'll do Oct. 3 as a rainout date.
You guys in the cities, pass the word to other SyTy/Buick locals.

Got potentially 2 newcomers to the gang (both Syclones) from the local area... let's hope the weather holds.
Larson may come up with the Cobra as well... 9 second outfit.

I posted on the Buick sites as well... we'll see what we get.

All fixed up, although now that the new opti is in it seems off tune wise, but idk.

Crap!

They changed the schedule on us... they're gonna be closed on the 19th.

They moved it to Saturday, October 10th. (Street Legal event)

Sooo, we'll have to shoot for then. Hopefully the weather holds!

Should be some killer good air by then.

I'll update the page and all the threads...

I thought she was driving the GN?

I suppose, just need to get her to practice her launches.:tup:

And I will let a few folks know that were interested in coming up. I guess this means you have no excuse dig to not get the sy running.

I was thinking of coming down again to see some racing. Depends on my wifes work schedule and the weather. I'd also bring some Canuck beer for you guys to enjoy.

I don't think there's anything at the track on Friday.... there's always the CrowBar in town however....

#689 will drive there under its own power. I'm thinking of getting plates that say "BIGFOOT", since you hear a lot about it, but only a few have actually seen it.
