Sunday Sunday Sunday...

 

[dman33]

GEEEZZ i feel stupid!

i will try my best to be there.....

 

[Slo86GN]

You're one of the few that got smart and figured out how to fight fire with fire....LOL. Most are like Chris "GN Slayer" Psychoholic and just like talking smack... Guess I really need to get busy fixing my exhaust leaks and getting the rear brakes done...then I'll be able to pull off some 10-15# launches on my way to some slightly quicker times than in May...Hopefully w/o the blown headgasket this time...LOL. See ya'll there.

 

[dman33]

well, i sure hope the weather is good. i rounded up some 28" ET streets which will allow me to make it through the 1/4 without hitting the rev limiter...... if i don't join the DOTC club it should post up some mid 130 mph runs..

 

[Slo86GN]

Dammm...Now their calling for temps in the 40's for the high and rather brisk winds during the day. I love racing but dunno about going now. The wind chill is gonna be nasty, not to mention it'll make the cars a little squirrely at the top end... Gonna definitely have to keep an eye on the forecast now.

i've been to that track one time, can someone give me directions? i'm coming down 85 through atlanta.

come on slo86GN- i thought you wanted cooool weather? maybe it will be a tail wind.

Windy??

Lonnie, quit being a pussie, and come on down!! The wind won't be that bad. And besides, you won't be going fast enuf to notice!!
J/K! But the temps usually moderate fast during the day there. We were talking about this last nite.. jacket and sweatshirt to start, then sweatshirt, then t-shirts!

DO NOT leave me there ALONE!! I was one of several hardcore BUICK guys there for the last "BBQ".. We actually had about as many BUICKS as Fords that time. I hope to be better prepared this time!

 

[Slo86GN]

Daayyyuuummmm Chuck....Getting a little harsh aren't ya.....LOL. I'm not trying to leave ya hanging, but money is also a concern. After last weekend I'm about broke...lol. If I can scrape the money together I'll try to make it. Just wish somebody would buy the stuff I'm getting rid of.....

Hmmm, won't be fast enough to notice the wind.....suuurreee....LOL. If I can finish fixing the exhaust leaks, it may be a little faster.... Then again, compared to 133, I guess 117 does seem kinda pokey....LOL.

Yep, I wanted coooolll weather, but dang, it's gonna be a little more than what I wanted...LOL. Guess it means keeping my fire jacket on all day...

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Weather??

It's JUST RIGHT when the I/C tubes start icing up!!
Bring the jacket and let's kick some A$$!

Cya!

ROFLMAO........If there's ice on the i/c tubes, then it's waaayyyy too cold to be racing....Be more like skating at that point... If I can scrape up the money I'll be there. Finally got my dam crossover to quit leaking on the d/s, so maybe I can finally get some real power outta this ol heap...

 

[Psychoholic]

See you guys there!

 

[Slo86GN]

Sorry I couldn't make it, but funds wouldn't allow it.....not to mention it's fuggin cold and windy up there. I looked at the current weather in Reynolds.....48* (wind chill 40*) with 24-32 mph winds. Ya'll are nuts..... I love drag racing as much as the next Buick nut, but not when it's that "breezy" and cold.....

 

[dman33]

what ever happened to this race??
