Bristol & Noble -- who is in?

[CPAKCP]

tc86gn,
You could not start out a better place then a Buick event to get more advice and help then you know what to do with. You will pick up some much more info. here then you ever could at your local drag strip.

There are not classes you race heads up. If you get to race or not depends on two factors, how fast you are and how may Mustangs show up. If there were 50 Buicks and 35 Mustangs the 35 fastest Buicks would run. However, if there were 65 Mustangs all 50 Buicks would get to race.

Don't let your lack of expeience stop you from taking your car, bring it. You will not regret it. Oh. by the way, I would either consider either running a higher octane fuel or decreasing the boost - just my 2 cents from someone who has blown their share of HG.

I will take all the advice I can get as I need it. I will start by turning boost down to about 17 and tune it to the max. All tips are welcome and appreciated here! Thanks
Tom

I will forward a copy of the list to people in the OK club next week in case others want to join in.

Steve Monroe usualy watches the BB but just in case I'll send them a copy.

Looking forward to the event.

It sure looks like we'll have about as good a representation as could be hoped for. Anyone know if Jim Turner/Richard Mann (Abilene) are taking the 9-second GS? I don't think it's sold yet. It's rough when you can't draw from many-fold more fast cars from a smaller geographical radius like the Fords can. It ain't easy being green... or something.

a few questions, 1) First time pulling a car in a trailer and was wondering if my 1/2 ton F-150 be sufficient for towing the TR? 2) borrowing the trailer from a friend, found out today he does not have any ramps with the trailer. Can these be rented from some place? 3) How long of a drive from DFW to Noble?

[bsharer]

Anybody know if the LaQuinta in Norman the hotel that is next to the IHOP on I35 near the exit for the track by the college???

 

[CPAKCP]

Danster, call U-haul and get a light weight car hauler - the F-150 should be OK with no major elevations - if you plan on pulling it a lot I would step up to a 3/4 ton truck. Just take your time.


bsharer - we plan at staying at the Ruby's Inn & Restaurant 10 miles from the track - checked it out last year - good parking lot - their phone#: 405-527-5577 located in Purcell OK

See you there

(1) Yes a 1/2 ton pkup will pull a car and trailer. Things to watch out for are if the trailer and pkup are not set up with electric brakes or even pressure brakes then be careful how close you are to the car in front of you slowing down or a panic stop will be a hand full. Also make sure you tie down the car.

(2) I don't know of any place that rents ramps for the trailer, you might check out some of the tractor or farm stores, they may but I don't know for sure. Unless maybe someone else that is trailering up there car can let you use theres to load and unload yours.

(3) From the Dallas area it about a 4 hours drive.

Take Care

I would use 2x6's if you were only going to use once. They should be strong enough for on and off a couple of times.


3) How long of a drive from DFW to Noble?
Dannyo [/B]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's around 220-240.
