I'm heading to E-town for some trophy marathon runs.
Anyone else going?

 

I be there in the Vette for the CC race. Are you gona post RP all week then at the last minute sneek to Atco?

Ron, do you know anyone looking for a pair 11X17 Polished ZR1 wheels with 335 Hoosier drag radials?

 

I deserved that... Nope, I'm E-town bound this weekend. My parents are coming up from Cape May to see why I can't ever visit them... Plus I want to get some comparison times at E-town to last year with just the cam change.

Can't say I know anyone looking for wheels like those at the moment.

I'll look you for you in th elanes then...

 

Kaz,

I think PAGREGSS is looking. He doesn't hit this board as often as MotorCity. Shoot him a PM on there and he'll be sure to get it. ( If they were the painted ones I'd be all over them. )

 

Sorry Ron but if I didnt have work I'd go. Im sure its the same with Ryan.

What are the times? When does it start and end?

 

No prob.
Gates open 9am. Depending on the crowd, over around 4ish.
There's another one next week and it might not be as crowded with all the corvettes as this one will have.

 

they dont allow cutouts right?

 

keep an eye out for Howard in his vette, i kno he said he's gonna be there..

Ron, you better post back tommrow with something better than a 12.9!!

haha good luck!

 

No cutouts, correct.

Yeah, I'll took a look see for Howard then.

12.9? That will be tough with today's weather. Unless I can hook of the line and get a sweet 60'. But I'm expecting bottom 13's. I'll post tomorrow....

 

Ron post your times!

howard is having a dilemma with his Vette and how it's running after being unhappy with his runs at atco and now etown..he was saying everyone was running slower..kinda wanna see if you had that problem today aswell

 

Yes, dear...

Left before fourth run


For same given day with same weather condition, Atco has given a slightly better time. Plus last week was much cooler and drier. I saw Howard briefly in the TnT group. But my parents were up, wife and daughter showed up, John PamperedZ was down to see me, and Jim Kazman (Bracket racing coach) was in the house, so I had a full social plate going.

To me, the car is running what the car is running. No sense whining about it all day. I was enjoying the weather, checking out other's rides, meeting up with fellow bracket racers that were using the Trophy Marathon as practice runs. ( ) and generally having a nice day. As you can easily see, where ever the 97 TA decides to be at for the day, it stays pretty consistent.

I planned to do this again next Saturday unless Sunday's "Street Wars" event is rescheduled because of rain to next Saturday. Then it will be way to crazy for me at E-town with the imports and I'll maybe slip down to Atco for the Test n Tune (ONLY) day.

 

Least ya didnt have to wait 4 hours for 2 runs...
