I am not sure who is organizing things, but a trip to the strip seems to be in order. A lot of guys who "might" go to the S/O could use the track time, and those of us who just like to go and have some fun and meet would appreciate it. Our choices are a wee bit limited, but there has to be somewhere were we can go and beat up on these beasts? I have been trying to access the websites for London and St. Thomas, and have been unable to do so. Not to sure why. Anyone with any ideas, let me know. Email me tbirdmedic@sympatico.ca

Jason, if its TMP your going to, dont use your slicks, I found this out the hard way, Ed too, but he didnt break anything, they do not put water in the waterbox at all on fridays as they try to bring in more of the street scene crowd.

Not TMP no one will be there the mto and cops are setting up looking for fast cars. It's out at old sparta from what I hear it's a fast track this year.
I hope to run the drag tires

I'll come out for the 26th Bruce.

Any chance I can borrow your drag tires for 1 or 2 passes?

...car is acting funny
I know what's wrong... your car is so friggen fast now, you're warping out of normal time/space and that's messin' up your fuel delivery :eek: :D

yes, but thats at cayuga, good luck trying to get runs in, I havnt been to sparta since i got the line locks on, like to see if that was my problem last time there, or if it was the good ole lack of glue they dont put down.

Sparta has done a complete 180 since last year. They are getting ready for a massive event called Windsor Shootout. It's a new timing system, they are paving the return road on the 21st. They have also fixed the stands. So yea... Sparta gets my vote! Plus, you'll get quite a few runs in.

yea, they've done a complet emotional 360! Im very impressed with the way things have been going there this year, last weekend TONS of new fresh rubber was put down by the promods, which all made really fast clean passes.

St.Thomas, and GBM's sites have been down lately because were moving servers.. >_<

anyhoo; No bird for me, but if you guys come to st.t you'll be sure to see me there. If im riding the PB taking photos or beating on the exploder.. you guys are all always welcome to come out... (im rambling again....)

..and the timing systems is working miracles this year!

guys we really need some V6 support for the V6 Ford Challenge on the 26th at the JP Shootout, we would love to have more Supercoupes represent at the V6FC.

Isnt the 26th the same weekend as the JPSHOOTOUT?Oh yeah... didn't realize this was the date for the shootout :eek:

I want to go to spectate at this event so I'm out for Sparta. Perhaps another time (or maybe next year).

Well Ive decided Im still going to Sparta next weekend, I just cannot justify paying the 60 to race, plus 25 for the gf to get in only to get in a couple races, would rather pay the standard fee for T&T at sparta and get in as many laps as it takes for me to figure out launching the car with the new clutch. Im gearing at getting another 13 second pass out of the car before I take the blower off and upgrade injectors. So anyone who still wants to head to sparta ill be goin, people going to the JP thing, best of luck to you, sounds like its gonna be a good show, hope they have at least 1 person there with a GT500.
