There hasn't been a good meet up for the piedmont area in a while. So lets make this happen! There are plenty of us scattered about, so lets meet up and run a track. I was thinking maybe..

The Rock? http://www.rockinghamdragway.com/


I know there are alot of Cobalts in the area that would be willing to make the drive, we just have to get it organized and POSITIVE that it is happening and people will committ.

Anyone in the Raleigh area can meet up at my house or somewhere, and we could cruise out there together..

And DSLSJA, you guys have alot of people, and meet up often, so maybe you guys could organize your crew and make the haul out there? I think its only like 80 miles from Charlotte..

I won't suggest a date until this post gets some replies from people willing to make the trip, since throwing a date out there often deters people that couldnt make that date specifically.

So anyone interested? Or is the NC piedmont area just a bunch of lazy bitches and bastards?

 

I'd be interested. might be able to bring a red cobalt plus me

 

The DSLSJA is always up for a meet... but the next month or so are gonna be pretty busy for us. This is gonna have to happen sometime in October if we're gonna be there in force.

I'll link this to the LSJ site... so the boys from over there can see it as well.

 

Agreed with Raine. September is going to be very hectic and some of October as well. Either way, I'm in and will try to make whatever the date is.

 

yea that sounds like a great idea!!!! I would love to meet up with some fellow cobalt owners for some racing I'll keep an eye on this thread

 

I need a track day BADLY!! I'm jonesin' man....I need a fix!!!

 

yes, same here!!! let's do it

 

there are no street drag days in October incase ya'll haven't noticed

 

I like the feedback, and October could be could since it is far enough out to thoroughly plan it..


Maybe October 13th? Its the second Saturday of October..

Feel free to suggest other dates that may be more suitable. I figure once we get a mild consensus on a date, we can start a list of people coming..



Whups, just checked the schedule too, and saw the lack of street drag like Matt just said..

DSLSJA.. Is there any time in September that may be doable? I would love to have a gigantor meet, but November is soooo far away..

Or what about a different track? I don't know much about the tracks in the area, so maybe someone could suggest a different place that would allow us?

 

i'm gonna be there September 22nd. along with my dad and his Vette, and probably a buddy of mine with a Mustang, and i think there are gonna be atleast 1 other DSLSJA member there not sure about any other ones, we are gonna get there around the time the gates open til probably 8-9 if anyone wants to come

 

mooresville has a 1/8th mile track.. not suggesting or anything, just saying...

let me know when you wanna meet up and im in, it'll be my first run at the track.. i'm a track virgin

 

theres a 1/8th mile near greensboro (piedmont dragway) not sure the schedule.

 

There are several 1/8th mile tracks in the area. We could always find one that would be more "centrally located" so everyone could just meet in the middle.

Mooresville is a very professional setup... a lot of NHRA guys test there. You can't beat true 1/4th mile action... but as was pointed out there are no street drag days in Oct. for the Rock.

I definately don't want to push this off till november... there will be a whole 'nother mess of stuff to take care of then.

 

that may be on the limit as far as distance goes. id hate to drive 3 hrs for a meet. but i might do it if we got a caravan from simpsonville or something.

the 13th is not good for me though, the weekend before or after should be though.

 

I'm beginning to think that maybe just another meet at Photo's house would be good.

That way it's within about 2 hours for you SC guys... and about the same for the Raliegh crew... no drag strips in CLT... but from what I've seen none of the 1/8th mile tracks do test-n-tune on the weekends anyways... so that kinda sucks.

 

im up for it! let me know,

 

I dont mind a longer drive if im cruising with a few other people. I'm down for whatever, but 3+ hours is going to be hard to get others on board..

I guess we don't even have to have a track present for the meet, I just suggested it for the people that dont like street racing.. I just wanna run against a few Cobalts.. Either way though, I'm happy if we get 10+ cars..


I can do any time/any date as long as I have 2 weeks notice..

 

I definately want to compete against other cobalts... I just hate it that none of the tracks are open on friday or saturday nights...

and they wonder why there is so much street racing... GIVE US SOMEWHERE TO GO!!

 

^lulz

 

actually shadyside has moved its days of operation to friday night and saturday night i believe and its only 7 dollars to run ur car as much as u want anyone who dont know how to get there i believe rain has been, so they could follow us

 

Not familiar with where you guys are talking about, but once again i'm down..

I just want to get together with a bunch of other people. i havnt been to a meet in ages, so i'm cool with whatever gets the most people.

It seems like the date is more of the issue here. It sounds like October is going to be hard to do, but November seems too far out.

I say lets shoot for October and hope for the best. I'll throw up October 20th just to put a date out there. Where is the next question, but how about some feedback of people that think they could make October 20th(Saturday) assuming it will be less than 3hour drive.

Fayetville works for me, especially cause caravaning there will be half the fun(as long as i dont get a ticket on the way there).



I just want to see if October 20th brings enough people out

 

so thats the day we want to do this is the 20th? ok thats fine i will set crap up for that day
