rskrause 10-26-2003, 08:01 PM Rained out big time at NYI today, but I am pretty desperate to get the car to the strip once more. I can't go to NYI this Sunday, but Cayuga is supposed to be open for TnT on Friday the 31st. The weather is looking good, fairly warm. At this point, I plan to go up. Anyone else? If you don't want to run, maybe you want to ride up with me? I don't plan on more than 2-3 runs, and if all goes well they will kick me off the track after the first one ;)

Andrew Coats 10-26-2003, 08:11 PM When you know what time you are going to cayuga let me know. I might be able to go up if it's not to late.

They start running at 7pm, I was thinking of leaving at about 5pm to get there early, get in a couple of runs and go home. I will post as the week progresses.

Hey Steve: you want to caravan up? Weather still looking good.

steve10358 10-27-2003, 08:11 AM Sure! What time you leaving??
rskrause 10-27-2003, 08:22 AM Originally posted by steve10358

I was thinking 4:30-4:45. I haven't been there for years, but it should be about 1.5 hours driving time, right? Plus time at the border. I'd like to get there by 6:30 or so and have some time to unload the car, get it warmed up, and put my race face on before it gets late.
I will call them later today to try to verify that they will be running. Their web site indicates they will, but I want to be sure before getting my hope up.
Steve: I will PM you my pager/phone, care to do the same?

Scott 87 IROC-Z 10-27-2003, 08:31 AM Depending how my car turns out on the dyno tomorrow, I'll head up there with you guys. Where are you going to meet?

I just called the track. At this point they are planning TnT for Friday, depending on the weather. They recommended caling Friday to be sure before heading up.
We could meet at my house, but if I am going to go, I do plan to leave no later than 4:45-5pm, no waiting for stragglers!

Andrew Coats 10-27-2003, 02:12 PM Rich do you think you will be back home around 10:00 - 10:30ish? I would like to go if I could be back at a decent time. I'm done with classes at noon so there is no problem for me to be ready by 4:45. BTW how close are you to UB North Campus?

I am ~5 min from North Campus. I am planning on 3 runs max, so getting back at 10:30pm is probably right on.

spraytheway 10-28-2003, 01:00 AM Neil who runs Cayuga is cheap. Don't expect any glue. It will be slippery but maybe you will all get lucky. I hope so. If it was my car I would stay home. Good luck to all.

steve10358 10-28-2003, 08:04 AM I like the idea of a few runs and going home. :)
Rich you have PM.
Scott 87 IROC-Z 10-28-2003, 07:55 PM Well, as I'll explain in the other thread, I won't be bringing my car, but I still want to go and maybe I can catch a ride with someone. I'll bring the camcorder and get some runs on tape.
steve10358 10-28-2003, 09:11 PM Hopefully I can get the car done early, cruise before rush hour, and leave after an hour or so. :)
Steve
rskrause 10-28-2003, 09:28 PM I don't think I can leave before 4, but I will try to rearrange things.
Scott: you are welcome to ride with me. I'd enjoy the company. I may smoke a cigar on the way back though! I can blow the smoke out the window if needed, I haven't offended anyone yet :D
Rich Krause
Scott 87 IROC-Z 10-29-2003, 04:28 AM Thanks Rich. I think I'll take you up on that offer. So are we leaving at 4 or closer to 4:45?

Hi Rich! Doin well, thanks. I always wonder how you're doing. I have a lot of great memories from hanging out with you. Hope all is well.
steve10358 08-01-2009, 01:51 PM It was my last time as well. What has everyone been up to?
Whats new Scott? You still have the same phone #? Where ya living these days?
rskrause 08-01-2009, 09:16 PM Hi Rich! Doin well, thanks. I always wonder how you're doing. I have a lot of great memories from hanging out with you. Hope all is well.
Same here!
Things are decent. I have changed some things about my job. Even though I am working full time, it seems like semi-retirement. A good change. I have been smoking even better cigars! Anyone want to join me on the deck for some along with libations would be welcome. My kids are doing ok, son is married and daughter (hands off!) is at Bingamton. My wife is getting along ok for someone with all her medical issues, thank God for that. Besdies stuff I can do nothing about, my ionly issue is with my race car. Currently non-functional but not my fault! Some bad machine work led to a major failure. I am waiting on a new Dart block - I am going with a 540 this time. With the 468 I ran 8.20's at 160+. Take a look: 1/4 mile pass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-p7PL4Rj2o).
I have also been playing with my new web cam, eventually I am going to a "video blog" just to vent (I have lots of pet peeves).
Open invite on the cigars! Just pop me an email and wen figure out a good time.
Rich
rskrause 08-01-2009, 09:36 PM I've been playing wit my new webcam. Gotta change some settings, it looks kind of dreary. But here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6bhAPvGYDU) is a video invite.
Rich
steve10358 08-02-2009, 10:51 PM WOW! I love the new car. And thank you very much for the invite. I always enjoyed our conversations and will shoot you a PM.
spraytheway 08-03-2009, 02:27 PM Hi Scott & Rich.
