Who all is going to be at the "Christmas Race" ??

I know there is already another post of this.. the other one has just turned into smack-talk :D

I also have a quick question.. To race you HAVE to have a helmet, no matter how fast of a car, right?

I might race my TA.. just depends on the helmet thing.. I don't have one :D

Just use this thread to have some kinda of idea whos comming and what car they're going to be racing..

Thanks

yes !
you have to have a helmet . (track rule ) . i will be there . i am helping set it up . if you don't have a helmet .i'm sure we could find you one to use at the track that day . please don't let that stop you from coming to race .

anyone else you know coming from cleveland ? if your going to race please goto (www.nmraracing.com) goto street race /kill stories forums . there is a poll going to see who's coming and what class your wanting to run in .

thanks !!!

I'll check out that other board and see what it has to say..
Thanks!

Come on Evan...I've rode motorcycles since I was 5 and raced up until last year. You not think I have a helmet or two laying around? :D I have the one I used to race in(dirt bike helmet), and I have one that I used to wear when we had the street bike. Both are fairly new and DOT approved. There are several full faced and some that aren't. I can't remember which one I wore in the bird, but you can head out to the house sometime and pick one you like.

Hey guys the track has a few helmets that people can use. But I'm sure that if you dont want to use them someone there will have one you can use. tell everyone you see about the race. Its for a good cause. mp..:cool:

someone will let you use one or the track has a few you can use...

I'm still comming, but if I race or not is the question.. The posi in the car is going out, and well, 2nd gear likes the throw me all over the place instead of just bark. :mad: I'd much rather keep the car out of the wall.. Either way, I still might bring toys or a money donation for the cause.

seeya eric

Yeah his name is Roy he went with all of us to In-Tune for the last dyno day we had! Thats a nasty RX7 he couldn't gut a full run on the dyno though his turbo was puttin out way too much boost so he kept shuttin her down!

I went to Checkers on the the 23rd of last month. I was there about 10:30 or so. I was hanging out with ChadTN and LT99LS1 and a guy named Brandon. That a pretty cool hangout! Lot of cool people too!

seeya eric

That was the night I tried to put Brandon's slicks on the car...But he forgot to mention they were on 15 inch wheels. I didn't even think about it until I hit the gas and they were locked up on the calipers. heh...

The Rain Date is the 15th. We(Flatline) talked about it Tuesday night while turning some wrenchs on the RX7 and mounting some ET streets for me.

Everything still a go even though its suppose to rain late tonight?
Just wondering cuz if we make the 1hr trip and the gates are closed I wouldn't be to happy.. Rain has already crapped on us before when we made a 4hr trip to go to KyFbodies.org Beach Bend Bash and the gates were closed.. Now that was fun :rolleyes:
:D

I'll be heading down there early just in case I get lost but if thats rained out we could go to Steele!

I've heard of Steele before but i'm not really sure what it is.. SOoo.. What is it? :confused: :D

Its a 1/4 mile track in Steele,Al I'll have to get directions on how to get there though!

WHAT'S UP GUYS !!!!!!

seeya eric

NOS/86.... How did Roy(RX7) run? He got beat by a 3 door honda civic I think but his car is pretty damn fast!

BTW.. It was nice to met you!
