dissapointing...to run against modern "muscle" the intial rules stated 1978 older one of the reasons we signed on. I have a full air ride set up and believe in the product after a 4000 mile rally but not against a 2010 camero, mustang etc which Im sure will sign up next.

WAAAA! Grow a pair. If any of my vehicles were able I would be there with bells on. Just to prove economy, scrape the barrel bottom for parts can be made to run.
As for the year change on rules, why should second gen Camaros be ran up to 78 but the 79-81 guys are out, same on Corvettes. A 78 Monte but no one could run a 87 GN, come on.
Now would this actually put the Dynacorn based "69" Fbody out.
Run what ya brung and hope ya bring enough, period.
I would have only been able to run my 78 C10 or my 77 Monza but truck hasnt got good tires and needs a carb, the Monza is waiting on Sealed Power to make the D@MN pistons.
AS for anyone who has air ride,they have a BIG advantage over other setups. when my truck was done in 04, I built it with parallel 4 link and panhard bar(soon to swap in a Watts link) and it will, with out real good tires hang with a friends, at the time, 01 Z28 with aftermarket suspension and F1 Goodyears.
After trying to get my back side up over the edge of a big hole dug with help of a bad employer and soft job market as the time,, I now have a 77 Monza, and an 84 Caprice 2dr, both I hope to have on air and both hard runners, on a budget.
Not to bash but if you dont want to see where you CAN run, sit on the sidelines, if you want a true measure, get into the fight.
Just my opinion, dont mean to hate or make anyone made,,,wish my cars, any one of them were running, maybe next year.

I am pretty sure I will be there with the Wraith mustang.

Playing it by ear until wednesday - I want to make sure my axels are good to go and they are not quite finished with them.

They are also adding my seat back brace as well.

The engine mods with turning down the blower and a few other tuning items all worked out well.

I am also upgrading my front suspension as well - replacing my current shocks / springs with a new set of double adjustable aldan eagles with 500 lb springs instead of the 400 lb ones with no adjustments that are on there now.

Turned out at 575 to the rear wheels which will be a lot more manageable on the track.

I registered for the show only as I dont have a car to enter the compitition, only a cruiser 63 chevy truck. I registered before the April 1st deadline and have recieved no info or tickets. Do I just show up and tell them my name and they will have it on file or, or do I need tickets? Thanks

We'll have your credentials and goody bag at the event. See you there!

2007 mustang?? whats with that

Sorry guys, "71 TA is in jail at G-Force in PA. I was just gonna drive up there and watch. But when they opened it up, I went what the heck I'll try. I've never been on any sort of auto track at all, so you won't have anything to worry about from me. I used to race mx forty yrs. ago though. Bret, thanks for opening it up. I was getting tired of just reading about yall guys having so much fun.

Just remember if you do break down U-haul rents pickups and car trailers cheap... You have no worries when on the road to an event like this because there are always options and friends....

Bill and the RatPack are always great friends and resources when **** hits the fan,,,,, we all take care of each other and you'll be fine on the open road.....

Of course if you can, Join Bill and the gang as you'll be in good hands and will likely have one of the better driving experiences of your life...... If you ask how I know, I was one of the founding members of the RatPack departing Toronto on my own to meet up with the guys in Pigeon Forge then headed out to SEMA last year,,,, Best dam ride of my life!!!!!

[MIGOAT]

I'm going man!!!! Thats the spirit hahah no kidding. I think she will be fine, man it's going to be awesome and I bought a helmet so no more asking to borrow a helmet. Hopefully someone can drive my wife around one time b/c she got scared the last time. I'm excited

Or better yet, tell them you got a bad case of anal glacouma.

That you just don't see your ass going to work that day!



Stinkin car! It KNOWS I am going on a trip with it at the end of the week, so what's it do?!?! Starts screwing with me!! I tell ya, it is ALWAYS like this before a big trip! Has happened I think EVERY Power Tour (like 6 of em!), just to Jack with me and make me thrash at the last minute! Anyway, the oil feed line started leaking pretty bad and I had to make new hard lines. I hope that fixes it! And now I look under it and there is a big puddle of power steering fluid under it. I just rebuilt the freaking pump a couple weeks ago! I have it off and it appears that the leak is from the return fitting brazing. Which sucks because when we did the turbos, a buddy had to extend the tube and tweak the angle to clear the headers. And he has moved and I can't braze!
So off tomorrow to try to find someone that can do that!

[BA.]

Awesome!! I drove the car a bit today......I'm in!!

Hope you got yourself registered now!

See you there!

[shmoov69]

Yup! Took the freakin p/s pump off again and had to replace the tank, again......but it did not have a puddle this am!! Woohoo!!

A few days ago we talked about professional driving instructors...

Dave Schardt from Forgeline has agreed to bring about 10 of his driving instructor buddies on Saturday to Putnam and offer professional ride-along instruction in your car for FREE!

Having benefitted from professional instruction [and still do at every opportunity] this is the single most effective way to make you and your car faster. You will be able to quickly identify the people who take Dave and his boys up on their offer...they will be in front of you!

If you haven't signed up...get it done...there are about 6 spots left. If you miss signing up on the website...come to the event and we'll get you registered there.

Fun awaits!

I would like to have one of these guys ride shotgun for a couple laps to see where I need to focus.

Where does the line start for the instruction?
