was goin to take dads car. but he's more then likely goin to work on my grandma's house sat. all day so prolly not at all. I really "should" get some work done in my garage though. YOU know how that goes though. lol. and Im fighting off temptation to race my car since Im trying to sell it. you want to take your car out ther? maybe I could come out for a couple hours in the morning and hang out with ya? hmm, if they open at 9, start racing at 9:30, I leave at 11am, get home around noon, still got a good 2-3 hours to work in the garage. could happen.

Looks like it is going to be almost 90 degrees on Saturday and sunny. I guess it should still be fairly cool if the track opens at 9am though.

Heh, well, I won't be setting any new best ETs in the Grand National with that kind of heat, but I'll still be there.

Excellent! You'll find me driving the '87 Grand National. My father-in-law's '70 GSX will probably be easier to spot.

ok, Im getting very excited now. finally gonna start to get a feel for dads cars potential. and see what all my hard work will accomplish. it'll only be prelimanary runs though, still stock 10bolt. ARRRGGGG!. yeah, great F'n idea GM. lets put our weakest rear end behind our performance car.
{{{vent off}}} but anyways will be launching softly and working on shift rpms. Im hoping to break into the 11's doin this. Im positive its a mid11sec. car with a 9" that I can do clutch dumps at 4500rpm with. but till then, hoping to hit 11's period pedaling it off the line.

is your name jake Im goin to assume? we'll see ya there. jp2002LS1 will also be there with is new stock camaro as well as his uncle with his grand national. should be a good time.

see everyone there.

I'll be there with my bone stock 99' camaro. I'm guessing I'll run a 13.6@101 This will give me a good baseline before I start modding the car.

I'm also bringing my uncle with his GN. I'll probably race it more that he does. I'm guessing a 12.4@109. It is mostly stock except for a minor turbo upgrade, bigger intercooler, chip, fuel pump, alcohol injection, etc. The downside is that I'll be running it on the stock tires so the 60' is going to be terrible due to lack of traction.

Unless yours is a total dog, I'm betting you're going to be very pleasantly surprised with your MPH.

Yep, stock 10-bolt here too. Gonna do some semi soft launches. Like a 1.8 60' or so. We'll see. Looking forward to it. I haven't been to Milan in 7 years.
