E-Town cruise: reminder

[Verne_Frantz]

Tomorrow night (May 10th) is the first Tues night cruise-in at Englishtown Raceway Park. They claim they'll let people have a free pass down the 1/4.
I don't know how it's going to turn out, but since it's the first one, and the weather is supposed to be great, I think I'll take the '09 and see what happens.

How many cars were there?
And did you get a postcard advertisement for the
2005 Northeast Factory Stock Drag Race?? July 30th?

[Verne_Frantz]

It was ok. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
I'd say maybe 250 cars, lots of early muscle plus a bunch of street rods, some modern, some retro. About 50 cars took advantage of the one free pass offer. Beautiful Lemans Blue '69 Z-28 went 11.8, but it sounded like a big block. A few very nice '69 and '70 Chevelles. A nicely restored 500KR was more interested in smoking his bias plys 3/4 of the track. Ran a 16.8, but I guess he had fun. My favorite car was an original paint, unrestored '57 Plymouth Belvedere with a hemi. He ran a 14.8. It was http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif They had a 4x4 play area with concrete blocks and a couple crushed cars to romp on. The women seemed to love that for some reason.
Everything was free, except the $5. hamburgers.

It was fun!

[Mr70]

For the price of 10 hamburgers,you could've bought yourself a digital camera. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I would've liked to seen what you did Verne. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

Yeah, I'm behind the times I guess. We don't even have cable in the house, and you saw the rotary phone in the kitchen... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (you know, when you were picking up Frank's sign)

More rare cars there: A '63 Olds full size, and a '66 and 69 Grand Prix.......ALL factory 4-spd cars! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Mr70]

I didn't notice the rotary phone,probably because the candle was burning out.
Did you take your 09 there & if so what happened?

[Verne_Frantz]

Yes, Janet and I went in the '09, but I didn't race it. No headers, 4.56 or slicks on it anymore, so what's the point?

Besides, we had to leave early to go buy more candles............ http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Huh!?! The point? How 'bout 'fun', ya don't need headers, a big gear or slicks to run the 1320 - we do all it all the time; aka "Pure Stock is the way to Rock". We want to see you at the E-Town factory/f.a.s.t. event http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

You must have been talkin' to my wife. She kept saying, "come on, race it, race it, race it!" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[supergonzo]

E-Town tells me they are holding a cruise night once a month

[Verne_Frantz]

gonzo,
I was not able to reply to your PM. I did not receive a postcard for any upcoming race. There was a young girl there handing out flyers for some Ford event, but that's all.

Verne

[supergonzo]

Thanks for the heads up Verne, because at first E-town told me they did hand out postcards for the upcoming Factory Stock Drags.....but then later changed the story to handing them out at the Mopar Atlantic Nationals.


I have supplied them with 500 more postcards that they say they will hand out at the next Cruise night

[Verne_Frantz]

Well, I guess June 7th is the next one, right? I'll try to be there. I'll look for the postcards....

[supergonzo]

Yes its June 7th. They better have those things handed out!
They promised me.

Thanks Again Verne

[supergonzo]

Verne did you go to the last e-town cruise night?

And did you see any postcards for the July 30th Muscle car race??

[Verne_Frantz]

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend that one. I'll miss the July one too, since I'll be at an annual Chevy convention in Princeton that day.

Verne

[supergonzo]

I heard the last one was a big success, and they are going to have to limit the amount of cars that go down the track for free. They are expecting this July event to be huge!!
