The 2007 Gathering Drag Racing Info Thread

Where do you come up with this stuff?

I used to play a little pool...billiards...in my day..a sneaky pete was
a custom cue stick designed to look like one off the rack.
and stuff just kinda pops in my noodle, I was told my mother
shook me when i was little. I was there, but i don't remember.

Ok, you guys are scaring me...

Sneaky pete's and giggle juice?....I should run away while I still can.

[yellowz]

ok guys
for the guys that have been there from day one the emphasis was not on racing
but as doug johnson once said ITS THE PEOPLE NOT THE CAR.I cant believe you guys dont have a drag strip in your area and the most important thing is racing.
GEEZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.I go i like the races but its not life and death .Granted theres not much to do there but ,there are things to see and do if you look.IMO the event is getting stale and needs some new fire burning,most of the vendors that were there years ago havent come back WHY????? not
much $$ to be made.We are a smart bunch here and loyal to our group so if bg isnt really where the event should be due to lack of things to do???why not move it or go to fun fest event as a group there are literarly thousans of corvetts there and they get bigger every year.I enjoy going to see my extened family and long time friends over ther years but i really think you guys should not put an empasis one racing racing racing there is more to it then that.Besides most racing is sunday anyway NASCAR that is.


NOw if you all wish you may flame me but thei is my opinion and im sticking to it

we are indeed putting a "fresh coat of paint" on the old gal to get some enthusiasm in the event check out

and scroll down a bit to see what we are doing in addition to the NCM standard fare. with the GS and Callaway guys coming I think you will find that it's a different deal this year.

I do agree that combining our events with other biggies is a great approach

how about we also do the funfest??? bloomington.

no reason to just do several, it's about maximizing the number of events, fun, and different venues so all can enjoy.

thanks for the feedback, it's sage advice indeed!

I'd point out that usually tracks require you to have long pants on. I don't know how hot it will be in BG in early May. But usually I just bring some sweat pants or something I can pull over my shorts before I hop in the car for a pass. That way I'm not burning up the whole time.

Might want to correct the dates. Wednesday is not the 3rd.
