yes I did film you crossing ahead of me but that was then this is now, maybe snow tires will help me lock up better on the launch! still learning my car, see you next weekend

a little trash talkin' is always healthy before these events so keep it coming.

Compy rules !! He is the only guy I know who goes to the track
and consistently runs better times on mods seldom costing more than the quoted 50 bucks ! In the past three runs he has knocked 1.5 secs off his time and is now gunning for a record 2 secs . Watch out Vito....that MG comment really got him wound up!

Bob in CT...sorry about the schedule. This was more spontaneous than anything. Are you up for another Port Jeff meeting?

As info, if anyone is interested in meeting at Manorville
before the track, to save the RT mileage from the Pit please advise me via e-mail for details. I am on Wading River Road 1/2 mi south of LIE exit 69 and or 2 miles north of Rte 27 exit 59. We can hook up 10:30-11am, have bagels/coffee, "buff up" and meet the crew at the track which is about 15 minutes away.

Dan....the spec Miata is looking Goooodd !!

where are you going to go tomarrow and do you still have your little ones waching the weather, don't want to get rained on.

Chris I think we are shut out of Tuesday night.I don'y know of any location other than Bald Hill and it is too long of a haul. I have no idea on a new spot.
Kids say weather is clear for Tuesday. My oldest little one is hopping up her 5.0 T bird and wants to work in a speed shop.O where did I go wrong!

Gents,
FWIW, I drove by the old KMart site last night and there was NO fencing... Will try and check this evening and update. I dont live too far away.

outlawrods · #26 (**permalink**) 07-14-2003, 02:15 PM

Bill we need to find a spot. What about some of the areas behind the Syosset Ford in the idustial park or the Oyster Bay train station there is never anyone parked there, and St Rocos is over. The second (201) in OB is easy to deal with alot of us are locals. call me at the shop or on my cell i would like to meet up.

HI Guys!

The guys that use to go to Sears in Hicksville on Tuesday night, now are going to K Mart in Syosset on Tuesday.

Chris....if you would like to join us at West Hampton Saturday you can meet up with us of the ' eastern contingent" in Manorville. We will hook up with the rest of the crew at the track. We will meet 11am at my place in Manorville about 15 minutes away.
It will be a nice Cobra day for you to stretch the legs on that
custom 392 stroker ! Shhot me an e-mail if you are interested in directions. jam1775@optonline.net

Vito !! This is your day coming up . Your motor sounded
wicked last time ! Drop those DR's down to low psi and let's hear that clutch dump! We should all be seniors at the Launch High School Prom this time out ! Yeah right !!
Sounds good until we get there and that stupid tree goes blinkity blink !! God I hate that damn thing. Such tension there!
Forget it....I'm staying home.
Is Andrew in the loop ?? I e-mailed him but got no response.
Hoping for dry weather !

Bill I know a place we can go the owner wull set up a buffet for us, on the arm and a cash bar. Plus he will close down his lot for us. the lot is in direct view of the clam bar with only a 4 foot fence between use so we don't have to wory to much about the cars, they will never leave our sight we just need a good # of guys to show. and it is local
I would love to go on sat if i can get away from the shop, i am runing 308 gears i would rather go longer then a 1/4 mile, i was build for the high way.

BCompy · #31 (**permalink**) 07-15-2003, 09:20 AM

Are you talking about Hallocks Lot? How do we get the keys?

outlawrods · #32 (**permalink**) 07-15-2003, 01:43 PM

No South street cafe but we can ask island prop if we ca use chev. I know that the Chamber Wanted to put together a cruise night in OB. Call me, the web over here is up and down today, tell me what is going on to night

Super-Snake · #33 (**permalink**) 07-15-2003, 02:28 PM

Super-Snake · #34 (**permalink**) 07-15-2003, 02:29 PM

Here is a hint....

JAM1775 · #35 (**permalink**) 07-16-2003, 05:38 AM

Hey Dan !...Now that's a nice looking motor !
Are you going Saturday ?

Super-Snake · #36 (**permalink**) 07-16-2003, 06:50 AM

Jim,

can't give up who's car that is and it is not mine. unfortunately my new car isnt ready yet so i will once again be driving the Chevrolet Racing Avalanche with trailer.

JAM1775 · #37 (**permalink**) 07-16-2003, 08:35 AM

That's a distinctive air cleaner.......looks "famill" !!
Thanks for tailing us out there with the trailer.
I sure hope you go home empty this time.

Hey, I have a question about tire pressure on the dragway. I was suprised to learn that I had nearly 35psi in all 4 tires and reduced them to @22psi at VIR, curious what pressures you guys think gets the best grip in the fronts and the rears.

I know it's generally tough to try and get the launch right without spinning.

JAM1775 · #39 (**permalink**) 07-16-2003, 07:10 PM

frankym...each car is different and it does depend on your tires.
Are you running the Comp TA's ??

frankym · #40 (**permalink**) 07-16-2003, 08:43 PM

car is not available for me to check right now but I am using the goodyear 275/60/15 stock tires in the rear. Whatever SPF put on the stock setup.
