Ok, so HOPEFULLY the plan is for me to pick up my car from the shop Friday morning. It has been there since January 28th. If I can get the car Friday, I"m going to Island Dragway in Hackettstown NJ to get my first 1/4 mile runs in with this car. Just wanted to see if anyone else was interested in going. I think the deal this Friday is if you buy a spectator pass you race for free. Then like $10 to rent a helmet if you don't have one.

 

you should just come to e-town with the rest of us

 

Island is closer to me and will be cheaper given the situation. Good luck to you guys going to E-Town though.

 

You cant just buy a specatator pass. You have to but the race pass too, because they give you a ticket that you need for the teching. Iv'e been there before. It won't work, but I really would like to go. What time do you plan on trying to go?

 

yeah im goin to island this fridday the 31st. its 10 bucks to run...i can't pass that up

 

Oh yeah It's opening day. its gunna be PACKED!!!

 

I'll be going down there EARLY so I can get my runs in before it gets seriously packed. Assuming I can pick my car up in the morning, I'll probably be there around 6 or 7. Should be an interesting night.

 

I think im going early too. Im going with a couple people. Probably with this kid with a GVR4

 

Island is terrible its not worth the 10 dollars less to run shitty times. Just go to e-town

 

to far away Id spend more than the $10 in just gas.

 

Looks like pikachu may not be ready in time.

Why? You might be asking yourself. Well let me explain. I called the body shop on Wednesday to see if it was ready like they told me it would be. I took off work so if it was ready, I could go pick it up. Apparently the car is all back together, painted, tested, codes cleared, etc. However, there are a few pieces on backorder. Well what could be left, I asked myself. There is a silver strip over my glovebox...that is on backorder. Also, another piece of plastic by the back passenger side window is on backorder. Thus, I am unable to drive my own car after over two months because of some ******* plastic that is on back order.

I'm done...good luck to u guys who go to the track. I'll be sitting at home and fondling myself to pictures of my car

 

They wont let you take the car and just put those pieces on when they come in?

 

needless to say I didn't make it to Island on friday. Car is still not out of the shop...looks like I'll never get it back.

 

Dude, I just got my car back today. I had it back like 2 weeks ago but they forgot to fix a worn wheel bearing. So I gave it back to them last Friday and just got it back this morning. You will get it soon. Hopefully.

 

I went on sunday and there was a black SS/SC there. He ran a 16.4 twice!!! If i raced him in my LS I would have won!!! HAHAHAHA

 

bad times?

a stock turbo srt on slicks with bolt ons went 12.5 at 110 there last sunday and a DBB 50 trim srt on slicks went 11.6 at 123

to me, those are some DAMN good times

and my buddy stock turbo, nitrous on slicks went 12.0 (not his best time, but he trapped 121 which is 5mph higher than any other trap he ever had)

it was a GOOD day last sunday at island
