I didn't see Drag Racing,did i miss it.

Jeff,you better be working your @ss off to get us some Drag Racing.

A whole lot of seminars,if i needed more brainwashing i'll watch TV
It seems everything is at the NCM WTF.
Why can't we go back the way it was without the NCM doing everything for us, we're big boys now we can do it ourselfs.

I know nobody likes a free thinker.
I'm ready for your remarks

Pete

Pete, renting Beech Bend is not exactly a fun ordeal. We are currently working on securing Wednesday the 13th.

Jeff,offer him a little extra cash,for Friday or Saturday.
I'll skip on all the brainwashing seminars to pay extra for Drag Racing.

Talking about LT5 performance is ok but seeing LT5 performance in action is a whole lot better.

Just an idea,does the ZR1NetRegistry have enough money to buy Beach Bend lol

Pete,

I'm with you, man. Jeff, not sure who's going to be there to race on Wednesday. We will likely be driving down on Thurs.
I guess we could just all show up at the track and just take over.
Any other tracks in the neighborhood?

Our 1 day rental will not supersede the GN rental.... which based upon Beech bends calender is the 13th -16th.

Nice......a five day vacation from the wifey now! Hell, make the drags on monday and it could be a seven day vacation for me!


Is Steak n Shake doing any temp hiring so I can get some beer money?

[XfireZ51]

Jeff,

No issue with your efforts. Wednesday drags means having to drive down on Tuesday for some of us. Not sure its worth it.

Usually some of the Buick guys rent out the track on Wednesday. And sometimes they will let other guys in , all depends on who has the rental.
We had better secure our rooms asap because when the Buick/GN guys come to town there isn't a room available for miles.

Our chances of getting in on Saturday are nill and none....the Buick guys pack the track solid.
