|
well helltime and blackcopper it would be awesome if u guys cud make it to our meet the more people the better!!
|
If your talking about may 3rd at newton, as long as the weather holds and my mustang is running i will be there. I have a grudge match against my dad and his 83 mustang anyways lol.
|
im not sure yet if it will be may3rd so stay on the site and keep posted, were always talking on this thread so well have more info soon
|
I plan on being at newton alot this year. I went a few times in the balt, went 2 or 3 times in the stang. Gonna see if i can break into the 8's this year (traction is tough though).
|
Well the first friday is May 22nd and then almost every friday after that, no saturday races though....

I usually hit the Sunday races in Earlville, get a couple runs in and be home in time for a late lunch. But if enough 'balts hit up Newton I'd take the drive.. I hope to get an 8.99 this year in the 1/8. Closest I got last year was 9.07, just missed it.....
|
If you hit newton most likely you won't make your 8.99 goal, the traction there is like the street. The best 60ft time i have EVER gotten there is 2.2 (did that in my 2.2 balt and once in my stang). I would be interested in hitting up earlville sometime. I want to go to a 1/4 track so bad! Is there test n tune just like a "fun night" type thing. Were you can just run your regular street car and have fun?
|
yeah, they don't have the night races though this track has no lights. Here is their schedule Tri-State Schedule
Cedar Falls does though and its a little closer to DesMoines than Earlville, I think. CedarFalls Schedule Then there is the rumored axel breaking sticky track real close to DesMoines, good for the stang not so much for the Saturn. Eddyville Schedule |
Yeah i know about eddyville. I went there in my 2.2 balt. I got good traction there, but was scared to launch real hard so it didn't do me any good haha. Its a bit of a drive from des moines. I wish we had a 1/4 track closer here, my luck my car would break and i would have to call someone to barrow a trailer and have someone run my truck up to me.
|
I didn't realize Eddyville was an hour and a half drive from DesMoines, wonder why I though it was closer. Looks like CedarFalls is about two hours from DesMoines and Earlville is another hour from CedarFalls. Maybe CedarFalls would be a good 1/4 track for most to visit....
|
So whats the plan for this weekend light'bolt? are you gonna swing down this way and do some tuning? if ya are i would like to meet up and have ya take a look at mine

Be interesting to go to the track. I miss my cobalt, even though it was just a 2.2 it was still pretty fun (and got great mpg's). I've been thinking about picking up an SS but insurance would be way too much on it for me :thumbsdow
