OK all you east coast slanters next weekend is the race at North Wilkesboro. Lets see if we can have a 50 point race. I plan on being there on Friday if I get the tranny fixed by Monday. Remember the West Coast guys are laughing real hard at us with the turnouts we have been having with the exception of Valdosta. We have four good races left. N.W. ,Knoxville, Clay City and Bristol so lets start saving gas money and make as many races as possible. See you there. Norm

We have a good shot at a 50 pt race, but need as many as possible, yes.

I will be there with at least 1, hopefully 2 cars. Charlie is coming from FL.

Who else is in??

Lou

A good number of racers have confirmed they are going to be here. Its looking like we will have a good car count. Like Norm said we don't have many races left this year it will be a good time to get this Eastern crowd together and do some serous racing. Will there be another street car winner in NW this year? See you at the Dealership Sat. morning.

I'll be there, but I still don't know what car. As of Wed nite, the valiant still has a misfire, and I haven't raced the Cuda in two years. Weather doesn't look good for the track, tonite. That will leave Wed as my last chance before leaving. The Valiant will only misfire on a run. I can do a full stall test, and a 6,000 rpm burnout, with no problem. So I can't duplicate the problem at home.

I am going to be there, but it looks like I will be doing my shakedown runs at the track Saturday. :roll: I am still thrashing on the Duster but I will be there! Might even need some help tuning from someone.
But you know what, that don't bother me none!!!!! I can't wait to have some fun at the track!

Gonna be there if I can- but I lost my job Sunday and it may be hard to justify spending what little money I have left.
Regards,
Michael

Are we betting on the rain yet?
I'll be there but the chances of another rain-out seem to be climbing.
If so I can't stay for Sunday.

Car's been sitting a while, so I'd like to blow the dust out at least.

Any native Americans out there, that can do a "don't rain dance"? I would hate to drive the 600 miles up there, to get rained out. I'll be leaving late today, and make a side trip to Dart270's place on the way there.

I see 30% chance of rain, which is normal almost all Summer. We had the same forecast last week, and it was beautiful all weekend.

Michael, sorry to hear about your job. I will help with entry if you come and race a Slant 6 car. Joe, I will buy you a BBQ sandwich and some gas if you brave the chance of rain... :D Let's make this a big one!

Looking forward to Charlie up here in VA tomorrow eve for test'n'tune at motormiledragway(.com). He just left FL.

Lou
