[DijabutiA]

How much to spectate?

[purdueranger]

I'll be there in the cherokee. might see what she does down the 1320.

[ClarksZ06]

I am hoping to make it. I would like to see how everyone is running.

[camaro28]

How much to spectate?

I am not for sure what the head honchos are wanting to charge, but in my opinion, spectating is gonna be free.

[Chappy]

I believe Jeff, Matt, Jeremy, and I will be there...

[Cool Hand]

The spectators will be free, but we will be taking donations at the door. It would be nice if people would pitch in a few bucks to help the club cover some of the cost.

Its 9 days away, is your car ready?????

[DijabutiA]

Damn... I wanna run the Elantra. I already beat Jon on the highway. :D

[ClarksZ06]

Its 9 days away, is your car ready?????


Yeah baby yeah, its ready. :cool:

Chappy you better come prepared ;)
I don't know if you can handle all this :twisted:

[Chappy]

What did you do to it now? Shot, heads?

[DijabutiA]

So who's participating in Battle of the Beaters? I know Hayden is gonna rock the AWD Civic Wagon... :D

[Hayfever]

That's the 2wd civic wagon, thank you very much :driving:

[lawngsx]

What's the classification of "beater", could it be considered your only car? If that's the case, bring it on.

[WHYTRY]

hey this is travis the guy with the supercharged 00 stang,


I will be there, i bought a bottle of vht for the serp. belt and just got the car running again 3 weeks ago, my brother might be coming also , we expect him to hit low 10's or high 9's on the bottle,
hope to see every one there

[Cool Hand]

Its now 6 days away. (Not including the ~6 hours of daylight today) Everyone been wrenching????? I know moving in has put a kink in my plans, but i'll still be there, balls to the wall as usual.

We really need about 5 volunteers running things on Saturday. I myself would like to get many runs in, so we need to cooperate on this. If each person that plans on running will donate 30 minutes or so (think of it as cool down time for the car) that will be plenty of help. If everything goes well, we can set another one up next spring again.

Come on out, its bound to be a good time.

-Luke

[98CamaroSS]

I plan on being there if nothing suprising pops up. Car was slow last time out to the track but I was hindered with a bad TPS sensor and an SES light the whole night so we'll see if I can raise the bar a little bit this time. Oh and Luke, I would be glad to donate some time while I am there to help out.

[ClarksZ06]

Its 9 days away, is your car ready?????


Yeah baby yeah, its ready. :cool:

Chappy you better come prepared ;)
I don't know if you can handle all this :twisted:

What did you do to it now? Shot, heads?

Nope, its just the same daily driver as always. Just gets me from point A to point B.

[redSS]

I will be leaving for an internship. I'll be outta here from this friday till thanksgiving :( Y'all have fun without me.

[shaggyboiler]

Lets hope the extended forcast is incorrect. I had to have the wife rework schedules to make sure I could go.

[Curt]

shhhhh....

NO ONE SAY THE "R" WORD!!

[camaro28]

I swear, if it "R's", me and god or whatever higher being are gonna have to have a little talk ;)











*Disclaimer* I was just Joking God :)

[RidiculousTalon]

i'll be there, i can't wait. I have my ported exhaust manifold and supra side mount to try out. I should be able to volunteer some time throughout the day too. cool down time is good for you :D

[bigSS]

What exactley do you need help with Luke.

I'd be happy to help a little in the burnout box.

[Cool Hand]

Things like the gate, probably timeslips....someone in the lanes.

They'll have 3 people there. 1 in the tower, 1 EMT and 1 guy at the starting lines...i think.

[Chappy]

In tha past track rentals I've been to up there, they have only provided 1 person. PAPA Norm is normally in the tower and that's it. If you pay the extra cash, you get the EMT. Normally they don't provide someone for the starting line unless extra money is paid.

So what's the count look like on this?

[Cool Hand]

Maybe i missed out on something, but I'm confident she told me there'd be 3 people there.

So far i got

Matt
Jeremy
Chappy
Jeff
Luke
Adam
Jason
Scott
Tim
Matt
Alex (i think)
Aaron
Neil
Justins old man
Travis
Andy

And I'm sure theres others that i've forgetten, so im saying roughly 25. I think about 35-40 would be a good number.

Chime in if you've told me you'll be there and i've forgotten.

[vettehardt]

I am planning on comming down saturday. I will be bringing my '73 vette with me.

[TR6finch]

I will be there also.

[DijabutiA]

I can try to help.

[a4dp]

I'll be there. I only plan on running a few times so I could help out.

[Slowrider5]

If nothing blows up at work, I'll be there. I'll be paying the $$ to run the truck down the strip. Does PAPA "people" include only current and former members? I think this was covered before, but I can't remember.

[DijabutiA]

So, are we gonna have a campus car show Friday?

[Ikestaa]

My brother and I will be there. I will be without a ride, but Vic should have his WRX up there.

[lawngsx]

I should be there

[shaggyboiler]

I'll be there as well.

[Curt]

Designated tow pig and whatever else we need...

If I'm not there, I'm either dead or in jail...

[vettehardt]

What sort of rules will we have to adhear to. Can i run with my t-tops off and windows down? Can we have passengers? I will be running with a helmet, but is it required? Etc.

[DeadPedal]

someone else probably will know the answer better than me, but i know convertible tops have to be up, so i'd imagine T-tos need to be in. also, i'm pretty sure you have to run with the windows up.

passengers, maybe, we'll see wht they say when we get there. i think on days open to the public they don't allow it, but they might make an exception.

helmets, i doubt they'd give you any trouble unless you plan on runin 11's.

[bigSS]

Are we meeting at Walmart around 8?

[Chappy]

I think that myself, Jeremy, and Matt are probably going to leave earlier than that. We are wanting to be at 41 by 8:30-8:45 at the latest.

[RoyMan]

ugh....thats early....i dunno, maybe...

[Cool Hand]

I'll most likely be headed up there between 7 and 730.

[Chappy]

Luke, let me know what time you are planning on heading up there... we'll probably end up meeting you and heading up. I'd like to have plenty of time for cool down and changing tires and things before we start racing at 9.

[RidiculousTalon]

i'll be there. you can count on it

[Curt]

Chappy,

If you would like to throw anything in the truck let me know, I won't be racing, just there to carry stuff, and possibly tow anyone home if something "unfortunant" happens...

I figure we'll probably meet at our standard Walmart parking lot around 7:15, leave around 7:30 so we'll be there around 8:30-8:45 or so...

Luke, just one question, if we do get a party sub, how the hell are we gonna carry it? In the back of the truck!?!?!?

[camaro28]

with 4th gen powa curt! actually, with the back seat folded down, im sure i could fit it in my car.... ill gladly haul it too, be good for a mid trip snack;)

[Ru2n00n3er]

I might head to the track on sat. but it's up in the air. I probably won't decide until Friday night or so. If I do go though I'll help out some, I'd help out in the time slip booth, I think I could handle that.

[Mr. 327]

I will be there. Duh

Dustin

[shaggyboiler]

Anyone buying any race gas and taking it up? I'm wanting to get a few gallons in my car to help out a little. If anyone has some extra I'll buy it off you.

[Chappy]

I assume someone is bringing a jack and jackstands, correct? Otherwise I guess I'll need to throw those into the car as well...

[Jeremy94GT]

90% of Thunderstorms and Rain for Morocco on Saturday.

I guess it wouldn't be a planned trip to US41 unless we had this :(


I don't want that mess like last time where we all drove up only to find out it was rained out. If it's raining in the morning...Luke or somebody should call or drive up and verify what the track status is before we waste gas.

[Mr. 327]

I'll second that emotion, I wasted about 25 bucks worth of race gas and my car is just now dry from that Foo-King Noah's Ark worth of rain from last time.

Dustin

[Cool Hand]

I guess since I'm the one that set it up, I'll be the one to drive all the way out there. Its showing 90% chance of rain for saturday on www.intellicast.com.

Should i just call them and see if i can get it rescheduled instead of wasting everyones time and effort???????

[camaro28]

Might be worth a shot to call and see when we reschedule.

[shaggyboiler]

I agree, to bad Sunday is out. Looks like ti will be a nice cool day for it.

Shane

[VWLogan]

I'd be happy to see it rescheduled. I may actually be able to attend if its not this weekend. (this weekend is totally not possible for me). But yeah, definitely make a decision before everyone drives up there.

Logan

[Cool Hand]

PAPA TRACK DAY IS CANCELED DUE TO WEATEHR!!! REPEAT, THERE IS NO TRACK DAY ON AUGUST 28TH

The only other possible day this year is September 11th. Post up and let me know if this day will work for you all.

-Luke

[shaggyboiler]

No I can't do that day.

[VWLogan]

I might be good for Sept 11.

[Jeremy94GT]

Good decision Luke...better to call it off early than hang on to a little 10% hope that it'll be a go. You saved a lot of people time and gas.

As for the 11th...since its the only day left this year, you need to decide if you want to schedule it in this short time frame, or shoot for something in early Spring (as far off as that sounds). It sucks, but that's what happends when both of the track days get rained out. I'm sure you get the pick of the litter for Spring though.

[myjadeZXT]

screw early spring, I'm all for the 11th. I wanna get my car to that track. (I'm on a roll, 4 trips... everytime i turned around half way due to rain. This time I'm happy i didn't drive first)

[TR6finch]

I'd be ok with the 11th, or early spring, or both :D

[shaggyboiler]

Shoot for the 11th. I can probably go now. Don't think I have the money for my other plans.

[JinteDgraM]

PLEASE NOT ON THE 11!!! I can't go that weekend at all!!! SHIT!

[98CamaroSS]

Good call Luke! I have been watching the weather all day today and just shaking my head. Atleast now I know I can sleep in and not have to worry about chancing it. The 11th works for me, I am pretty flexible when it comes to the weekends!

[Ru2n00n3er]

I can probably do the 11th.

[Slowrider5]

The 11th will work for me, but I'll be pretty late if the time is the same. But that's fine with me though. There are a lot of people out there who can take greater advantage of the day than I ever could. Especially if I just run my truck down the strip once or twice.

I agree, good call to cancel now. I thought you all were crazy back in the spring. I got up, looked at the radar, and went back to bed :)

[Mr. 327]

The 11th works for me. I'm graduating in December, so Spring wouldn't be a definite possibilty.

Dustin

[Stil2stock]

i think i'm good for the 11th. One of the Rexs was wrecked tonight (rear ended and pushed under a pickup) so maybe that will give him some time to make the necesary reparis. (pretty good typing for a durnk guy huh?)

[ClarksZ06]

Heres a better idea, Lets go in October or Nov. when its 40-50 degrees out and get some real fast times out of our cars.

Gaining 3-4 mph due to cold weather sounds worth it to me.

[WHYTRY]

if anybody is still wanting to go this weekend me and my family are going on sunday, they have test and tune in the morning from like 8 - 4 or something.

[ClarksZ06]

Just wanted to say... Its been sunny and nice out all morning and afternoon.

[Cool Hand]

Bite me.

[Curt]

I love it..

The same people that would most likely be bitching because they drove up there to find out, and didn't have a a definitive answer, are now bitching because luke made a decision on something he's done all the work for, FOR YOU, and decided to call it off because of the supposed weather..

[Stil2stock]

Luke did what anyone else would have in his position. It was the right decision at the time; he couldnt have known the weather was going to do this. I'm just pissed at the fucking weather channel! :mad: what other job can you be wrong so often and not get fired?

[RidiculousTalon]

yea, i think if we didn't cancel it, it would be pouring right now... its just the way things work. cancelling it was a good decision.

[Slowrider5]

It's humid like a mofo anyway, which figures considering we've had practically no heat and humidity at all so far this summer...

[TR6finch]

Who's to say it's not pouring right now up in Morocco? I would have made the same call.

[Mr. 327]

It looked pretty nasty up there untill around Noon. I stand by his decision totally. Now is the time to look forward to next fridays call-out show.

Dustin

[98CamaroSS]

I still say Luke made the right call!!

[White84monte]

yah i agree it is probally raining up there, it is in chicago atleast

[camaro28]

Luke did what anyone else would have in his position. It was the right decision at the time; he couldnt have known the weather was going to do this. I'm just pissed at the fucking weather channel! :mad: what other job can you be wrong so often and not get fired?


LOL :clap:

[lawngsx]

Damn me and my drinking, today would have been perfect to wake up early and head on up.
