Everyone has either a GTO or an EVO now.. lol
Anyone interested in having their car in a production in the next month? Doing a short production for my production class and need a few cars for a parking lot scene as well as two main cars for the racing scenes. Any buyers? No direct pay, but there will be food and drink floating around.
Post or PM..

Fran's really right on, most people have either moved on to different cars or people have segrigated based on where in the area they live. There might be a get together here or there, but overall there's not a whole lot as far as big group outings.

I was all for planning on modified fusion at the waterfront this weekend but of course crappy western PA weather got it cancelled. I live in the butler area and we usually meet up in a parking lot every nice evening we get here. Occasionally we'll all head down to pitt and cruise around. I'll be at the flashlight drags on the 10th but if we could get a meet together somewhere that would be cool. I'll bring my crew from up here even though im the only one with a cobalt. ha

So, considering doing the "parking lot scene" early next week. Anyone able to join me? Will need a handful of cars. If you want to be the other main car also, let me know so I can fill you in. Will be around the Robinson area. No pay, but there will be pizzas, drinks, etc. Will likely need you for an hour or so, unless you're the main car. Anyone interested?

Yeah I actually had hung out with the originals from time to time...and by the time I actually bought my T/C everyone had moved on to bigger faster things.

Not the only T/C from the South Hills...I live in South Fayette/Bridgeville area. I talked to you up at North Star Chevy in Moon back in May I believe. Are you running your car at BeaveRun? I've never taken my car to a track before so I'm a bit nervous...
Anyone ever go to test-n-tune at Pittsburgh Raceway Park? I've been trying to get in contact with them for a few weeks with no luck. I wanted to know if they require a helmet and what the time the Oct./Nov. weekend test-n-tune times are?

I may come up and poke around for fun depending on what else they've got going on.I think for PRP they require a helmet (M rated, no need for SA) if you run under 13.99. In the past, they switch their TnT dates to Saturdays.

Are either of you doing the Flat Out Day for Oktoberfest? I had thought about it, but at the time I was scheduled to run Watkins Glen at the end of the month and squirreled away all my money for that. Now the car won't be ready I may come up and poke around for fun depending on what else they've got going on.

I am going for Octoberfest, but I'm probably just doing the drags since I don't have a helmet yet. I hope I run faster than 13.99! I'm really hoping for low 13's, but who knows what I will run since I've never ran my car before.

I'm down with whatever you need average...I love cool little projects like that!
I'm under the impression you can rent helmets there?! I'm planning to do the "follow the leader laps" as well as the flat out laps with an instructor. I have the pamphlet in my car and it doesn't mention anything about a flat out segment that does NOT have the instructor ride along with you. If there was a way to drive it solo...that would be even more fun.
I'm calling it now Julius...me and you grudge match at the flashlights. That way you'll have an idea of just how much quicker your modded T/C is over my stock SS. I know for sure I won't win lol.

You MUST have an instructor ride with you until you are signed off to run solo, which takes about a dozen flat out days with an instructor. In all honesty, I've driven it both solo and with an instructor and it's actually BETTER with the instructor. It's not like a driver's ed instructor, they actually encourage you to push the limits of the car once you've shown them you're capable of handling it.

Evening people ...
Haven't posted in a while since I've kinda fell out of the circle here...
There's a chance the 150K mile SS might be getting traded in soon, so I'm putting it out there that if any of you are looking for winter wheels, I have a set of 16" Steelies with winterforce Snow tires on them. They are good enough for this winter I think.
Not sure what I want for them yet, and not even 100% I'm unloading the SS...
BUT... let me know.
Alicia! Glad to hear you're getting out on track again. I saw Melissa @ the PVGP event and realized that I've not seen you guys in a while.
