[kwhizz]

My wife said I could take the "Little Blue Car out".....If I get my allowance.....I'll be there

Ken

[Stefano]

As far as I know you must pre-register.

[kwhizz]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like an afternoon event.......what's that about...??

Ken

[tmilecki]

It's a good reason to play hookie

[ssl78]

I know I preregistered and plan on being there. Anybody else leaving from Chicago area want to meet up and stop for breakfast? I will have my 67 chevelle there.

[Mr. Duece]

John, Dan won't be attending the event but Pete and I would be glad to join for breakfast. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

(Hope it was ok to answer for you Pete....) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[ssl78]

Ok sounds good last I heard Darren was going to I will call you later. Are you bringing anything?

[ssl78]

It sounds like a event race more than a test and tune session. there is time trials and eliminations. I think the event is over at 5 and then we get to stick around for Friday night grudge racing.

[Mr. Duece]

John, I planned on taking the Gambler but I've had no time to work on it. I did'nt pre-register anything so I don't even know that I could get in. Dan tried to e-mail Amy for info. but she did'nt reply back. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
If nothing else, I'll be taking a ton of video and pics. Talk soon.

[Lemans69]

John,
Count me in for breakfast and any help you need, thanks for including me Don! I am really looking forward to this event, sure beats going to work! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[DarrenX33]

Well my track car is on the jack stands again. Also too much going on at work to get away. Eat some pancakes for me and take video. I'll be crying all day. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Darren, We'll be thinking about you and will bring home many pics. My track car is'nt race ready either. A couple of late nights at the shop and it could be there. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[DarrenX33]

I am hoping that we do this again this summer.

[Mr. Duece]

COUNT ME IN! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[tmilecki]

Hey, let me know were breakfast is going to be. I will try to stop by.

Tony

[Mr. Duece]

Are you planning on racing Tony????? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[tmilecki]

I have not heard if they have space avalable. If I can get in I will race.

Tony

[Mr. Duece]

Tony, They still have spaces available. As of yesterday (Monday), two of my friends from Speed Inc registered their personal cars to race. Let me know if you need more info. Don http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[tmilecki]

They told me you can register at MPG in Highland Park until Thursday. I hope to make it. Work is getting a little crazy this week and the wife told me she wants to go out on the boat for Mothers Day. That means I need to get it in the water.

Tony

[Belair62]

This event is a pre registered 100 car maximum event. If you are not pre registered you will not be able to attend. You cannot get in at the gate. It is not an open race day. If you are registered you can bring as many spectators as you want. There will be 2 more race dates upcoming and they will all be on a Friday afternoon at 12noon to 5.

[L78biscayne]

what do they do for a rain date http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BelairSucks.gif

[Mr70]

BroadWay Belairs back up plan.
You have to be out of his basement by 5 before his wife gets home.

[mrtimstik]

If it's raining even a little and it is not cancelled I will be bringing my Avalon to race.

[ARS Promotions]

RAIN DELAY!!!!
Unfortunately the rain is going to continue through tomorrow so we have to re-schedule our race day.
The new day will be Friday, June 2nd. All the information is the same. All entries will be held for that day.
Please spread the word.
Thanks,
Amy

Hey Darren, I hope that smily means you'll spend some time in the garage and finish that car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[tmilecki]

I'm calling out the Gambler. Will you be able to make it.

[DarrenX33]

I'm on it Don. Got it off the jackstands finally and need to solve 2 more issues. Should be more than enough time I hope...

Don.......If not my little 66 Nova can fill in......It can be arranged..........LOL

Ken http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Ken, I heard a lot about that little Nova but I've been beat before. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif It's all about the experience. I just don't think I have enough time to make my car race worthy.

[tmilecki]

No Challenge here. Im just want to see the Gambler go down the track next to my 68 Chevy II. Just a little friendly motivation for Don.

[Mr. Duece]

Friendly motivation always helps. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[NapsterNova]

Here comes trouble! I just registered. See you guys there! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[tmilecki]

I'm going to have to call Fasttimes and order a new fuel pump and NOS kit if this keeps up.

Tony

[Postsedan]

Jeff,

You can use my racing helmut ....if it fits http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Dan.

[mrtimstik]

Hey Darren or John, Give me a call and let me know the driving arrangements. Thanks! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[NapsterNova]

Well considering I am South of you guys I plan on jumping on 55 to 294 around 8:30am. I plan on heading straight to the track. Wouldn't mind a couple of Brat Stop brats after. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[DarrenX33]

[tmilecki]

I won't be able to play. I just got back from Florida and work is stacked up. Take pictures Don and let me know how thing go.

Tony

[mrtimstik]

Looks like I will see you guys at the track. I have a "Character Counts" breakfast planned at my son's school.

[rsatz28]

Have fun at Da Grove.........New job, no vacation days yet or I would take the Z.
No breaking parts or cars tomorrow! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Postsedan]

Word has it that there will be a few turbo cars there tomorrow http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif....To all attending have fun, drive safe and don`t oil down the track.

Dan.

[mrtimstik]

Just got back and had the absolute time of my life. It was awesome. Weather was perfect, track was fine, competition was close, and nothing broke. Thanks John, Darren, Don, Mike, Jeff and Mrs. Jeff for making it a day to remember. I am hooked. Had a blast. Best run was .027 R/T, 60 foot at 2.000, 13.39 second 1/4 mile time at 101.55 MPH. At this time I had the rear seat out, air cleaner off, timing at 36 and tire pressure at 15. Again THANKS ALOT, it was a memory in the making. Check out the attachment I added as the edit.

[Postsedan]

Tom,

Sorry I missed the event...great times you ran. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif I`m waiting for some pics.

See you at Lombard tomorrow.

Are you the guy that came with Darren and John to last years SCR?

Welcome...and thanks for the pics! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Here is a link to John P's (SSL78) awesome 67 Chevelle. Not bad for his first pass. The car kept getting faster as the day went on. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y172/DonDeFrancesco/?action=view&current=SSL78Chevelle2.flv

Don,

Nice camera work.....John, Looks like you beat that AMC Rebel http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Dan.

[Xplantdad]

An 11 second pass...with the left front tire off the ground..."you go" John! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[ssl78]

Thanks Bob and Don the for pictures, sure was a great time. I am already looking forward to the next race date. After signing up and hearing the schedule for the day I thought it would end up being more of a bracket race then just grudge racing. There was bracket races but if you didnt want to bracket race they still had grudge racing all day you could actually get in as many runs as you wanted to. I surprised myself, I entered into the bracket race and some how ended up in third The only thing keeping out of the final round was a red light.
There were a lot of people from the sight Mike G with his GTO running mid 12s Pete with his Yenko last I heard he ran a best of 11:07 and of course Dru Im not sure but I think in the 11:50s but ended up breaking a axle Im sure someone has pictures of that.

[ssl78]

Bruce it was a handful getting it off the line those hard dry rotted tires will be the first thing to go, but sure was fun.

[mrtimstik]

Here's a link to one of my runs. mrtimstik's run (http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j142/mrtimstik/?action=view&current=racing1.flv)

[sixtiesmuscle]

I just spoke with Pete, and, his best run was 10.98 @ 126!! That was before they asked him to park it for the day.

[Postsedan]

Wow.....Welcome to the 10`s Pete.

Dan.

[chevywish]

Yes i was the one that came with Darren to SCR 8

[Xplantdad]

Cool...Good to have you on here Bob http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Wow...Pete with a 10.98... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

John....that was still an awesome run. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Mr. Duece]

Here is Mike G's (sixtiesmuscle) awesome "BLACK GOLD" T37 Lemans.

BTW,that T37 is way cool! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[DarrenX33]

This is an early car 1C. Has the short spoiler and really scaled down options. No heater or radio. The most unique thing about this car is that the paint code on the tag is "--".

Darren, thanks for the pictures it sure was a great time in spite of a two hour rain delay. Bruce, Dru said he was going to go to the reunion.

[Justbad Joe]

Is that an original tilt wheel I see? Not every day you see a butternut yellow camaro let alone a Z28. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Joe

[lzdick]

Yes, Dru's Z/28 is a 'throwback'. This is the first i have seen it as well. He was saying he has owned the car since the early '90's. He does have a knack for locating some fun, unrestored 'throwback' cars. WAY COOL ! ! ! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm a bit of a newbie to this site, but have been playing with some Chevelles for many years.
If it's alright with you guys, I'd like to bring my 70 Chevelle drag car to test and tune when you rent the track on the 22nd. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif
