hmmmmm.... I might make it up there depending on when I get out of Gibsonia getting my helmet.

I'll give you a call Dan and let you know. I will just be spectating. Don't want to break anything before the Auto-X.

I thought about it, but I've got tooooooo much to do and I don't want my car anywhere near that place. MOST people are alright, but I've almost gotten taken out by a few maniacs on my way back from school.

I thought about going... but probably just to spectate. I don't think anyone's interested in seeing an auto 2.4 run with just an intake and half exhaust.

I will eventually go sometime this summer. Don't want to take the new Cobalt out to the track with less than 500 miles on it.

I don't know about that. I took my ZR2 up there for Test & Tune one night (a friend nagged me into it) and ended up spending the evening running a guy with a new S10 Xtreme. We were both bone stock, and got quite a bit of attention, I guess because we were driving trucks... I thought it was fun seeing an Xtreme with the 4.3 (same motor as mine) just barely edging-out the jacked-up 4x4 with 31" tires...

hell.. I ran my bone stock 77 442 there back in the day, and ran a 17.2 consistently... it's not about the all out speed, it's how consistent you can make it. Being an auto... you have an advantage over us with sticks. Harder to launch without redlighting ( at least for me I know it will be ) Never dragged a stick car before.

The more I think about it.... the more I'm thinking I'm running as well.

It's only $$

Haha... heck I might run then. If nothing else, it might be cool to have some 1/4 times to compare with after Dan and I s/c the 2.4.

XEXACTLY! That and get you on the DYno with us next time we go ( 1st time for me as well ) and you'll have a nice baseline... you've already got an idea about how it auto-x's, so that's the trifecta!

Man, I'm pumped about getting out there and running tonight now... oooooohhh yeah!

I'll be heading out from work. So I'll be coming down the parkway and then straight out 22. If anyone wants to meet up on 22 I'll do that.

what time do you think you'll be getting around the Delmont area???? I'm running to Gibsonia after work .. leaving here @ 3... should be back on the road after getting the helmet by 4:30, so I should be around the Delmont area somewhere around 5:30?? maybe...

I was JUST going to post a question about when and where and if anyone was going to meet to caravan up....

Anyone got any white shoe polish stuff for the windows?? I was thinking about stopping at the Wal mart or something to get some.

I'm probably meeting George at the GetGo in Delmont on 22 (right below Center Ice arena) around 5:15.

Ok...well I'll call you on my way and let you know where I'm at. If I can make it close to that time, I'll see you there, if not... I'll just meet you at the track.

Need to get that shoe polish stuff.

Twin loopers FTW! I'm goign to strip some junk out of my trunk in the parking lot. Wes are you running? We may have to throw some stuff in your car if you're ok with it. I wanna take my sub out (and I think my stock airbox junk is still sliding around in my trunk from the other day). I also wanna take my spare out... but I can leave that laying on the ground. I just don't want someone walking away with my sub and amp.

I may take off my engine plastic too. I figure that should help with heat under the hood. Anyone know the ruling on helmets? I just realized I won't have one.
