[notacarlo]

as far away from you as possible....you blow stuff up. :biggrin:

Still working on it! It will truly suck if I can't make it. I enjoyed hanging out with the Buick people almost as much as making a pass.

If you are on the fence about making this event, go. It's a great atmosphere.

Still in. Bringing the car in my sig/avatar. Last year ran 14.89. This year hopefully high 11s or low 12s. Ran an 8.10 last friday on a stock DP and intercooler, have a 3" DP on order, should be here before the event.
Clay Hollander is still in as well, we will caravan up the morning of the event. One correction to Phils list Clay and I (Russell Goodman) are from OK instead of TX

I had a really good time last year even though my car was REALLY slow. Looking forward to the event!

 

[SuperCPA]

I think that there are several more comming from TX that have not replied due to inactivity or they only frequent the V8 board. Many of us are forming a caravan that is meeting at the Love's in Denton, TX at noon on Friday the 31st. I'll be staying at the track in the motorhome as usual.

You can add:

TX Ross Little
TX Bryan Alberti
TX Erica Alberti
TX Chase Tucker

 

[BOOSTBROTHER]

Put me on the list.

I just bought a 72 GS 455 last time at the track it went 12.20 on the motor 11.80 on the NOS. My wife and son(17 mos) are going to leave here around 5:30 sat morning and head home after the race.

Hey Will,

I'll be there. I'm trying to work out an issue with the car so I can bring it, but I'll be there even without car if I have to. I'm hoping to get this figured out this week. We typically stay at the Hampton/Fairfield Inn.

Later,
TRent

Don't forget our Pontiac friends. I own and operate Overkill Street Performance and Racing and alot of my customers are LS1 and LT1 powered Pontiacs. I'm working on a few to bring with me to help out.

 

[Phoneguy]

How loose are they with tech check on the cars? I have no roll bar/cage. The new stroker is done now and ready to ship this Friday and should be running for this event.

Good to hear Trent. I sure hope you get the car up and working right, I would like to see it!

If there are many good running Pontiacs showing up, Team Ford is going to have a big problem on hand...I know of a handful from TX that say they are coming, my buddy is bringing his LS1 TA with a shot of n20 up for the race for sure

Bryan,

if you are running with no bar or cage I would suggest only making one fast pass during the qualifying runs. If you run better than an 11.49 they won't generally kick you off the track (unless you are a LOT faster than 11.49), they will tell you to slow it down...if you do it again, they will boot you.

I don't know what your car is capable of but Pacemkr86 on this site ran some 10.7s in the qualifying without a bar, they warned him not to do it again, so he didn't.....until the eliminations :biggrin:

If you go way too fast in the eliminations they won't DQ you or any thing

 

[Phoneguy]

BP , thanks for the reply. I know what it SHOULD and BETTER run
I was hoping to get some tuning done as Jack Cotton is making the trip. But a low 10 would not be unreasonable at all and possibly a high 9 if it hooks and the tranny can handle it. Torque converter may be a little loose now with the added cubes...
I will get moving on the motor when it arrives and hopefully make the trip with the car, get some shakedown runs in and then get thrown out
