All is set for our WCN event at Speedworld!
On Friday the 26th the gates will be open at noon until 4 PM for Buick participants who would like to park their trailer and/or car for the event.
You must enter at the Jomax Road gate ONLY on Friday afternoon, and use the Happy Valley Road entrance on Saturday and Sunday.
There will be "armed" security protection overnight as usual.
Last year we had a "Buick Bracket" race which cost $20 to enter. All proceeds were, and will, be paid to winners. We will decide on payback division of $$$ from participants, should it be winner and runner up, or top four places?
I know it is a little late, but if we had a commitment with a minimum of 10 entrants, ArizonaGN and possibly TA performance would sponsor a trophy.
Post your thoughts?
It is not yet shown on the Speedworld schedule, but I have been informed that the track WILL be open and operating on Sunday the 28th.
Look forward to seeing many of you there.

Oddball question here, but what are the chances of the track having electrical hookups for a travel trailer? I am trying to borrow a friends trailer to cut the hotel costs out so I can bring the family out, but the trailer doesn't have a generator... :frown:

Ugh, never mind. Found the link to the track and called... No power hookups, which is what I figured... :frown:
Ok..........

loaded ( DROVE!) the car onto the trailer today, and proceeded to break a brake line with tie down,

I will not be going this year. As hard as I tried the front Aerospace passenger brake is locking up. This explains why the car launches right. After rebuilding the PM then replacing it with vacuum brakes with a new braided line and bleeding the brakes at least 20 times (I also replaced the line lock), I have come to the conclusion that the caliper needs rebuilding. I am really bummed out. I took the week off to get the car ready and have the truck loaded and the trailer hooked up. I will look at the Speedworld schedule and go out when the brakes are fixed.

Man, I hope there are a few TR's making passes today (Sunday). I was traveling with the family for Thanksgiving, got home from the airport at 11Saturday morning and hit the road for a little 6 hour cruise by noon. Maybe just a bit late :redface:for the 29+ TR's that showed up (I asked the track lady how many there were, that's her estimate) RJ was still running his clean 87 WE4 GN, or at least mostly running. I saw him line up, turn a great 60' in the 1.5 range thne nothing completely lost power, at first I thought it was an IC hose as he coasted to the end of the track but it wouldn't refire:frown: It eventually did fire in the pits and idled smooth as warm butter, but it was getting cold (high 30's Brrr!) and he had already made a dozen passes so he wisely put it back on the trailer unitl the cut out issue is fixed. Good talking to ya RJ
Heading to the track in a few, I'm showing 4.4 knock retard on the ScanMaster and I'm 250 miles from home with no trailer so it looks like I am spectating today. Then a nice little 6 hour cruise home

Oh, no! Which one? Not that is matters much money-wise. Actually, the 109 cost more to build than the stage motor from what I heard... Ouch either way, hate to hear it.
