Corvette crushing party/Byron

[mdmull]

I'm still lobbying for the 21st

[jeffko]

Someone make up my mind!

[CHRIS DAMSCH]

I'm at the track now. It hasn't rained a drop all morning. I just ran an 11.72.

Where are you guys?

I can go on the 20th or the 21st. It doesn't matter.

I knew it wouldn't rain today. You guys have to stop believing those weathermen. That has to be the only job in the world were you never have to be right. EVER..........................

[mdmull]

They got a Starbucks out there this year with WI-FI?

[Wolfie]

I vote for th 21st the weather is always better on Sundays.

P.S. oh by the way had I gone today I would have run a 12.205

[snake oil]

Sounds good to me.

By the way Wolfie it's good you guys didn't go today
I would of beat all of yas
I ran an 11.57 if I had gone.

[-=Jeff=-]

look at all this trash talk of Corvettes...

UNFORTUNATELY our Corvette Club cannot make the 21st as when I talked to Sid it was 13th with a rain date of the 20th

21st is our Spring Cruise. May we should shift it to June.. Many of us corvette are looking forward to racing you guys.. In talking with Sid we will be bracket acing so it will be more of a competition of Driver VS Driver..

As for me?? I have a SLOW 89 corvette

Hey, -=Jeff=-, welcome to Club Cobra! Stick around here and we'll have you driving a Cobra before too long, we'll help you sell that Vette.

[CHRIS DAMSCH]

I haven't even trashed talked the Corvettes.......... yet. I got so involved in trash talking the regulars I forgot the Vettes were coming. Now I won't have to get embarrassed by all the technology and quickness you guys have.

Bummer you guys can't make it on the 21st. Mikes daughters school is having a car show on the 20th and they are looking for our support.

I heard you guys have some very quick cars in your club. I was looking forward to meeting all of you. Maybe we can do a poker run or something.

We were also going to take a ride to Madison Wisconsin to have lunch at the Quaker Steak and Lube, maybe we can make it a dual club event. We haven't set a date yet for this.

[mdmull]

Ok I think we're close to a solution - Since only 8 or so were actually going to race, if the other WCCC people, including Kim in her new car, attend the car show, we could stomp the vettes & return triumphantly to the car show before it's over (about 2:00 PM). Need to have about 10 cobras at the show, I'm sure it could happen.
We only have the June weekend of 6/17-18 & that's probably too close to the London show to risk racing even Vettes. I don't want to let those guys off the hook. Oh yeah as for bracket racing, It's a refuge for slower cars to compete. A handicap race! " You have the fastest??? no the most consistent car at the track" boy I'm impressed, Maybe I'll bring Kim's stock 302.
Real men race Head to Head.
Michael

[jeffko]

I hear the big dog howling and I could not agree more. This is basically a street race in a safer environment. Get some NOS and turn off the traction control. That's what will make a race.

So If I had an 8 second car and you had a 10 second car you would racing me head to head? I didn't think so.. the Bracket racing does give the slower guys a chance and makes it more fun for everyone which I THOUGHT was the point of it..

I mentioned that to Sid as it has worked int he past to get some more of the vette owners out on the track. if they have a stock 70s vette, which runs 14s, they would not last long..

Besides Fastest ET and fastest MPH still gets bragging rights..

I know I am not the fastest, but I would rather have fun then get beat out on the first round of eliminations.. most drag racing the pros do is close cars anyway, not a 14sec car vs a 10sec car.

[mdmull]

Silly me I thought we were trying to see which car was fastest. Let's see:
Q: What is that trophy you've got, Fastest car?
A: Not really, It means that I was best able to predict & drive my car a certain time down the track.
Q: So it doesn't matter how fast your car is?
A: Absolutely not, it means that I predicted that I could get down the 1/4 mile at 14.0 seconds and I actually went 14.001 seconds. So I won.
Q: So who has the fastest car?
A: Don't know, some people said it was a red car, some kit car built to resemble a 1960's sports car cobbled together from an antiquated British car and one of those Ford V-8s.

At least make the trophy for low ET a little bigger than the trophy for "most consistent"

Trophies..

Fastest MPH
Fastest ET
1st and 2nd place for the bracket racing..
Best 60ft

so are you afraid I am going to STOMP all over you with my Stock 89?

BTW it is NOT RED..

[CHRIS DAMSCH]

Mike, Mike, Mike. You're taking the bait. Jeff probably has a fully tubbed big block nitros injected turbocharged 89 Vette. I've seen guys pull the same thing in the pool hall. I smell shark.

A Vette with that kind of equipement has got to run a strong 13.5........

It's probably RED also.

I would prefer to go to the track next weekend just in case anybody breaks any parts. We would have time to repair before London.

Just my thoughts.

[snake oil]

To all you old Mudda's :

Hey guys I would also rather go next weekend,
however can't make Sat. the 20th.
Sunday would be better for me, I vote for Sunday.
Thanks,
Arcenio

[CHRIS DAMSCH]

I'm going to start a new thread to vote for Saturday or Sunday Drag Day.

[snake oil]

I vote for sunday the 21st.

Vote early vote often "Chicago style".

[mdmull]

At least by taking the bait I'm playing in a real game. Bring on the Nitro. At least i"d be losing to a faster car.
I agree about next weekend. If we can get 8-10 of the "show & shine" crowd to go to Alex's school's show, I'll certainly "race" Saturday.
We could schedule the first dual event day in WCCC history. Snake & eggs followed by Byron for the racers and Snake & eggs followed by convoy to SCNHS car show. It might be possible for the racers to get to the show before it ends That would be a perfect entrance for the Victors - Riding into the show @1:45pm with 'Ride of the Valkyries" playing.

Um, have you BEEN to Byron before.. there is no way you can get 3 test passes in and then do the Bracket racing and be finished at 1:45pm. Everytime I go some Damn Ford Power things breaks down and the track is closed for an hour for clean up.. LOL

Since it does not seem to work out well for either Group for next weekend, then why no push it out until August Sept or October. I don't care either way.

I need to know for sure without a doubt by tomorrow however..

As for Nitro, don't have it don't want it, not worth the headach. Besides, if I had Nitrous my car would not be stock. which it is...

I am lucky if I run a 13.8 with a 2.2 60ft.
