spence... I will make it down for the rental...still not sure if I am racing though..just found some parts hanging out of the trans bellhousing. Not sure if I am going to risk it or not until I have a new clutch lined up and figure out wtf broke...

That sucks man. I'm probably going to start looking at clutches soon. Not too sure how long a stock one w/ 127k on it is going to hold on DR's. Especially after I do, LT's, TD's, and a tune. I'll most likely end up getting a Scoggin Dickey LS7 clutch/LS2 flywheel combo over the winter and have it in before next spring.

Accuweather.com is usually pretty accurate. They have 15-day forecasts.

We are starting to wrap everything up for all of this so there are a few things I wanted to put out there. We have decided to close the account at the end of the week just to make things a little easier. We figure most everyone that is going to pay has, and those who haven't can just pay at the door. Last payment will be accepted Friday, the account will be closed Monday morning. Also, for those who have paid, we will have a sign in sheet of some sort at the gate. You will find your screen name and mark yourself off. If a member paid for you, you will be accounted for on that sign in sheet. You will just mark off a +1, +2 etc. Lastly, we will be hoping everyone is ready for this and will be arriving at noon or shortly before or after. As we and other friends of ours who want to race will be running the gate we will be closing it at 12:30 p.m. If there are any other questions or concerns we will be checking the thread often. Just let us know. Pay if you can and we will see you there!

I just hope everything goes off without a hitch. When it's over, we will see how things turned out and decide if we will be doing it again. I hope to.

He's not quite 50 yet, but he got an auto. I can't say much, mine is too. I'm just too damned lazy.
Glad you are bringing your car though.

I'm definately keeping my fingers crossed. Because I'm not happy with how my car did last night. I gotta get to the rental and hopefully get a little better at launching this thing. There's no reason why I shouldn't be running low 13's-high 12's. I'll have some LCA's and a PHB before the rental though. So, I'll be able to launch harder, and not worry as much about axle hop and breaking the 10-bolt.

Since the weather is being unpredictable, lets look at it this way. I will be calling cordova on Tuesday and will discuss with them as to when they would call our event due to the weather.
I plan on taking my chances til 12/noon on Sunday, whether thats how they look at it, I am not for sure. If I were you guys, I would check back here often to see what the status of everything is. Still, keep your fingers crossed.
If we get rained out, I will have your money back to you by Tuesday(9/15) night.

will they work with us on a rain date?

Post by blackpala96 on Sept 7, 2009 8:10:23 GMT -6
I never really asked about a rain date, but since they have the deposit I will see what he has to say on Tuesday when I call. A lot will depend on if you guys want to change the day if it rains. I know some of the guys have made special plans to be off for this and they wouldn't be able to get off another day if need be. We are barely squeaking by on money/racers as it is, if people start dropping out there wont be enough money to pay the remaining balance.
I will post back up after I talk to Taz on Tues.
