95_RipperZ 09-25-2002, 12:21 PM WHo is all up for going? Weather is suppose to be a high of 63 humidity approximately 70% (good for NEO). My insurance expires on Oct. 8th and I leave for vacation on the 5th so this may be the last chance.
My SFCs, LCAs, and relocation brackets are suppose to go on Sunday also so they won't be in time. I may try to get out during the week next week but it doesn't look too likely.
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-25-2002, 02:38 PM yeah im going, me and jeff were talking about meeting at quaker steak first then all heading out there together, how does that sound?
btw waswa, if your drag radials need a little action, i can help you out!!;)
jpolz 09-25-2002, 03:01 PM QS&L Sounds good to me. So anybody who's interested, we'll all just meet there, grab a bite, then caravan out to 42 (or Thompson). Might be our last chance guys!
95_RipperZ 09-25-2002, 05:00 PM QS&L sounds good but I don't think I will be able to make it out there. I have to an appointment at 10 that should end near 11 and then I have to go home and throw on the salad shooters.
It seems out both of your ways too unless your not in a big hurry. Gary, the best bet for you would be a straight shot down 271 to 71S and Jeff, you are right by 71S. My guess is 45 minutes from QS&L.
If you guys want, I can meet up with ya somewhere on route 18, they have a lot of restaurants there or I will just meet you guys at the track.
Jeff, when you went down to Dayton last week did you notice the construction on the highway near West Salem? Not sure if that exit is closed or not. I saw a bunch of orange barrels though. Anyone else know if it is open?
Waswa, like Gary said, if your DRs are bored I am more than willing to work them out too. ;)
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-25-2002, 11:59 PM yeah ill meet whereever, just let me know where you guys want to, i guess it would be kinda dumb to meet at qs&l for me when its that far out of the way, oh well, keep me informed:)
95_RipperZ 09-26-2002, 10:19 AM Whereever you guys want to meet up. I was thinking somewhere on Medina 18. The only place I know of there though is Burger King which is left off the highway.
jpolz 09-26-2002, 11:19 AM Medina sounds good. I know it would be haul for Gary, but it's close to the track. I was only sayin' QS&L 'cuz there are always FLY HONEYS there!
95_RipperZ 09-26-2002, 12:35 PM <--------Basically married. And so are you. lol.
I am going to try to get my tires on tomorrow so I don't have to do it Saturday and can come straight from Akron. As little driving as necessary. Time constraints and nikki is coming so I have to wait for her.
So I will be coming from 76. Maybe even a little closer to the track like say Lodi exit. I just talked to my friend too who has a Dakota 5.9 and he said he might go. Gary, you have met him. And another friend who has a '02 SS might go also.
Ahhhhh, the confusion. :)
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-26-2002, 05:08 PM well lets figure this out guys!! ryan i remember your buddy with the r/t, one friend of mines is probably gonna go too, he has a '01 silverado with a bunch of bolt ons, should run 14.5 easy with traction and good weather, good race for the r /t!! ;)
95_RipperZ 09-26-2002, 08:14 PM The R/T is stock so who knows what it will run. I am currently working on getting a video camera for the events. Hopefully there will be another C5 there that cannot drive for chit. :D
My other buddy's SS is stock also. He is none too familar with cars either so if he tries talking about it just nod and laugh. :)
jpolz 09-26-2002, 10:05 PM So does everybody have directions to get there? And we're meeting at 1? As for documentation...Ryan are you brining your vid cam. I'm bringing my digital still, and plenty of memory sticks!
95_RipperZ 09-26-2002, 10:12 PM It isnt my video camera. it is my brothers friend's. he is trying to get it and should be able to. And BTW, he is going to head out there too and run the White Stallion (Olds 88) :D I will also have my digital still and lots of batteries and a clear memory card.
Lets all meet at 1:30 at the Lodi exit at BP. 5 minutes from D42. Really easy to spot b/c the Outlet Mall is on the right and is huge. Just take a left off the highway and BP will be on your right.
I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully some more guys will come through too.
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-27-2002, 01:06 AM so im just gonna take 71s and get off at the lodi exit?? i cant wait to go actually!! im pretty confident that i might be able to pull out another 12 sec. slip, even though i havent fixed my knock retard problem, we will see though! by the way, i heard tonight that its supposed to rain sat. anyone else heard this?
jpolz 09-27-2002, 01:51 AM Weather channel shows it's gonna be partly cloudy and a cool 68 degrees! No worries man! gotta remember, D42 is like on the other side of the world compared to Mentor. LOL!
95_RipperZ 09-27-2002, 07:53 AM http://www.weather.com/weather/local/44287
The weather doesn't even look like it will change degrees while we are there.
Gary, just take 271 S and it turns into 71 S. From there just keep on going S and you will see a Lodi exit as mention before. It really isn't hard.
Can't wait. Damn thing better get some traction. All I ask is 1 time. :)
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-27-2002, 06:32 PM so are we gonna race as soon as we get there or are we gonna have to wait? is it a test and tune? lets hope the weather cooperates!!
Grease 09-27-2002, 07:00 PM Hey if any of you three don't mind driving down to Canton before 12 noon I have a pair of drag radials on salad shooters you can use.
95_RipperZ 09-28-2002, 01:46 AM Damn, wish I would have read this when I went and visted my friend in Canton.
Everything is looking good though. Gates open at 1:30 and I suspect racing starts soon after that. I'm looking forward to it.
I would pick up the DRs but I already have 4 tries that I am giving to my bro in my car. If someone wants me to get them I am sure I can fit them. let me know.
CANTONRACER 09-28-2002, 09:10 AM You might want to call and find out what is going on here and the price. I have went to these races before basically looking for some T&T and end up paying $25-$35 to race that day compared to the normal $10.

95_RipperZ 09-28-2002, 10:25 AM Good to go. Just called them and it is last day points. Regular $10 to race trophy. It should be pretty good track prep too.
Gates open at 1:30
Elininations start at 7:00
Gary, I was going to get the DRs but I just woke up and the drive down there isnt too tempting. :)
Waswa, thanks for the offer man. I appreciate it.
Gary 95 Z28 M6 09-28-2002, 11:33 AM yeah waswa, thanks for the offer, maybe some other time before the season is up, wish me luck!!!!!!!!!
