staticpat 05-27-2009 09:52 PM

LOL!

So, what time are we meeting Pat??

Bryan@BNR 05-27-2009 11:10 PM

Looks like I will be able to attend with my 1st generation car. I may spend the night at a friends house down there. Got to wrap up a few things. Get the car driving strait and the brakes bled. It will be then finally ready to flog the hell out. :D

Caim 05-27-2009 11:23 PM

Who all will be running their car?

Bryan@BNR 05-27-2009 11:30 PM

If I feel like the brakes are good, I will run. I just did a line lock and custombrake lines so I want to make damn sure everything is good before I make a wide open run.

sk8world 05-28-2009 12:11 AM

Dont hurt my feelings Brian!

Don should also be running so if he can put it togther I think he go 11's! If he doesnt go 11's I am taking his keys for a pass!

Those guys are meeting at 6:30 at the wafflehouse at the Alabaster exit. I don't know though, thats really early.

Herblenny 05-28-2009 08:21 AM

That is pretty early... I don't mind leaving little later? How about 7:30 and leave around 8? Maybe some of the ARS guy will caravan later with us? That would put us at the track right around 9..

But Im willing to do either times...

FYI: The weather is suppose to be...

Mostly Sunny with Low: 70 and HIGH 90!!!

Its going to be bit warm :)

Ha. I hope you run good Mike. The 1g is very strong though. I am sure I won't get a perfect run everytime. I put a short throw shifter in and I have zero seat time in it so I am sure I will mess up somewhere or another lol.

Dons car was trapping 116 before the tune. That MPH there is good for 11's. If he dynoed 390 and drove it on good tires like he stole it, it will be a low 11 second car. But Don seems to nice to treat his car like that you know?? lol

Caim 05-28-2009 11:11 AM

This is makng me want to run my car haha

Herblenny 05-28-2009 11:13 AM

I'm happy that its not going to rain this weekend :)

sk8world 05-28-2009 12:49 PM

Phil....dont even mention the word ?ain.........

Dons coming around... We went to the track last week and he did pretty good given the tires felt like they had been sitting in oil from how bad they spun thru top of 2nd...
When he traped the 116 it was on his pump gas settings so q16 + 20psi he better go 11's!!!!

So we are leaving out at 5:30am puits us in B-ham around 7ish... post up a contact number so we can phone you when we get close to town...

staticpat 05-28-2009 12:58 PM

The reason some of the guys like to leave so early is because they wait in line a long time, and want to be in front. The ones that actually compete need setup time or whatever.

Meet 7:30 leave at 8:00 sounds much better to me. I'm pretty sure some of the ARS guys would rather leave then as well.

Red Dragon 05-28-2009 01:04 PM

I might be able to make this depending on how the car is holding up the day after canyon Saturday.

Herblenny 05-28-2009 01:35 PM

Mike, Sorry to mention about the "R" word... LOL! You still got my number right?? Call me.. If you leave at 5:30, you should be in Alabaster by 7:30..

Patrick, Let's meet at 7:30 and roll down.. 6:30 is bit too early and we'll still get down there by 9-9:30 or so.. Last year, it seems like people who showed up 30 mins later got in at the same time.

Should we meet at the same place as last year?

Been thru too many phones lately.... I may even up the leave time. Don is driving his down and needs to swap tires-plugs-fuel once in..

Phil, where are you guys meeting?

Proxy One 05-28-2009 03:21 PM

Well looks like im not going to be making it, I just have too much to do this weekend and dont really have the extra cash for it either.

l8r

estevan62274 05-28-2009 03:57 PM

Mike or Phil,
I hope someone has a video camera to film some of the runs.
I wish i could make it but i'm working on Sunday....... sucks to be me!
Steve

Herblenny 05-28-2009 04:04 PM

I'm going to bring my camera and take some pics and shoot video...

Phil, you shoot the drags and car show, I'll shoot the TNA. Deal?

It being in Montgomery, I hope it will be imported girls. If not, the "hot body" contest will turn into the "big boody" contest. Good for some, but I'm not really down with that.

Maybe I need to get my priorities lined up and keep my mind focused on FD's. ....Naaaaa

Come on man... trade days with another guy... DO IT!

sk8world 05-28-2009 05:39 PM

I will have a shitty video camera... I would love for someone to get me going down the 1320 with a quality camera! My films seem to be too low quality.....

Herblenny 05-28-2009 06:35 PM

My Camera shoots at 1080. Just let me know when you might be running and I'll film you.

HDP 05-29-2009 10:53 PM

Wow, my ears must be burning... LOL. Anyway, I just went out for a test drive on my new ET streets and whoa!!!! that's a scary ride. I need to get use to how it handles at speed. Get on it and the rear feels twitchy and I let off. They are gripping very well, as opposed to my street tires, I don't lose traction top of 1st and 2nd when secondary turbo kicks in.

Caim 05-30-2009 09:51 AM

Nice, i hope to see this car there.

sk8world 05-30-2009 06:12 PM

Phil, my cell is 256-337-3676..

staticpat 05-30-2009 10:27 PM

So 7:30 in the AM? See you there.

Cool!

I'll PM you with my cell phone..

Patrick, see you at 7:30... Me and Leo will be there.. And Ryan said he is also going... Don and Mike... and BNR will meet us there as he's already in Montgomery.

Should be fun!

Bryan@BNR 05-30-2009 11:54 PM

I am in bham still. I have been working late trying to get this car together. I will be loading up the trailor in the 6th hour. Where are we meeting up at? Call me in the morning Phil.

Herblenny 06-01-2009 01:59 PM

By the way... It was way too hot for a car event!!! I'm now thinking about skipping all car event this summer :)

staticpat 06-01-2009 03:06 PM

Ya I got baked. So much RX-7 representation made it worthwhile. I didn't see any 2nd gens though :dunno:

Bryan@BNR 06-01-2009 03:17 PM

Phil is my car too ugly to put on film? hehe

I just bought some soft struts. I am about to also buy a set of ET streets. Maybe my 60 foot will come down and the car will go faster.

Congrats to Mike on the 10.6 pass. We are all fortunate to make it home with all apex seals intact!
