Meet me at Milan, July 7th!
The Royal Pontiac club has rented out Milan Dragway next Saturday, July 7th.
This is a very friendly group of guys with a good variety of street/strip cars. You'll see people running everything from 10's to 18's. Non-Pontiacs are welcome -- so much so that the club is considering changing its name! Last month I met the club president and vice president, both of whom own C5 Z06's.
I'm sure most of you have been to Milan, but for those who haven't, it's a pretty nice track run by good people.
The RP club events are never crowded. I was able to hot-lap 13 passes in a row last month, in under two hours.
It's a typical club event -- a couple hours T&T, a bracket race, and a quick 16.
Cost last time was $45, cash only. There's no ATM nearby, so come prepared.
I'll be there with the Grand National (with drag radials, and if all goes well this week, some new go-fast parts), and my father-in-law will be there with his '70 Buick GSX. I'm hoping that Dan Burk (ws6transam) will make it as well.

usually its just show up. and pay the person at the front gate cash and they give you a registration # or registration card to get teched in. usually the tech guys are more lenient also for these things.
still need to know what the times are? is it 9-12am?

That is also when the track operators know that they will be on t.v. I imagine that track prep was well done this weekend. I would just hate to waste my time and money if the track is an ice rink.

the track was a little slippery early saturday afternoon but was a little better later for my second pass. it was good friday night, I did my best ever run at 9.92 had a great time at Milan dragway for the pinks all out event , made it to the final 16 !! I blew the tires away in my first round ... had a great time. look for the 70 blue / white stripes Camaro.

Ive been to several track rentals at milan and Id say its GREAT. last time, they even torched the starting line a few times cause it was late fall and getting cold out. I was suprised at how well they prepped the track (at least for my slow *** 11 sec. car) and how good I hooked. I kind of expected them to just open the gates and thats it. but no. vht, torch, sweep up the track, whole works.
