i see alot of you guys and gals from the des moines area, Blur and I are always looking for other balts in the Iowa City Area.

 

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'm up in Cedar Rapids....

 

I'll be hitting up the sunday races when they first open for the season, and when they switch to friday nights i should still be there almost every time.

 

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

 

Yo Matt, hows it goin?

 

Its goin, how is the mustang running?

 

Its running good and hard. Can't wait to hit the track with it this season! Done anything to the balt since i last saw you?

 

hey bud, where are we meeting up tomorrow? text me and let me know.

also eddyville is only an hour and a half away if u go 55 the whole time!!!! we go every year, never took longer then 40-45 mins

OTT stg 1

 

Even though i don't have a cobalt anymore, i would be interested if some people from Des moines/central iowa wanted to meet up and cruise out there together. Would be alot of fun.


Sweet, have you raced it since?

 

nah, I just got it done about 3 weeks ago.. Smokinsam and evonbetter seem pretty impressed by it though

 

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

 

i live here in urbandale. i have a redline. im down for any track any day. i would also like to meet up for like a cruise also.

 

Sure thing I PM'd my number just give me a call we can meet up

 

doooooooo it
