Default Anyone from ATL going to Roebling Friday?

I need to transport 4 wheels down to Roebling for this Friday...all I have is my Z and they will not fit inside...let me know if anyone has any extra room in a truck or car or anything....thanks!

I will gladly chip in some gas $ for the transport.

I am signed up for Seat-time and NASA but as of right now am unsure about my car. Otherwise, I could probably fit 3 more wheels on the trailer and 1 inside the tow vehicle.

I'd like to help but won't know until maybe Wednesday or Thursday and that's kind of hard to make plans around.

Let me know b/c my alternate plan is driving down on my track wheels/tires. If you will not know untill wednesday or thursday that is perfectly fine I can just bring them to you then. I'm heading out Thursday afternoon. Thanks a bunch!!!!!

I'll shoot you a PM once I know hopefully by Wednesday. I just didn't want you to count on me because I'm "unreliable" ... at least this time around.

If your track tires are RA-1s, I know of some folks driving it back and forth with no real wear problems (just keep it slow in the rain). Also depends on how aggressive your alignment is too.

You're getting closer It would take me probably six months to try to figure it out myself and try to do that. It's gonna suck if I can't go.... 3 days worth of paid track time and hotel = $$$ down the drain.

So which hotel is the alternate "Mr. ZO6cool" staying in - I hope they have your card on file for room service.

Tim glad you could help a ATL bound car out...

Pick the cheapest hotel within a 10 mile radius and you've probably got the right one Please go to each one and try your luck. You could win yourself 3 days free room with wireless and free breakfast

Latest word is two oil leaks. One at the dipstick grommet and another at the valve cover. I guess small enough not to be seen under "normal" driving. They're using some aluminum "putty" at the dipstick and a thicker grommet. Hope it holds but it still has to cure for 18 hours. I may be late, but if everything falls in place, I'll be there.

That doesn't sound like a big deal, you should be fine.

You should. If you're still car-less, I'll have the wife draft up some paperwork so you can drive the beast.... She'll be with me for Seat-time.

Sorry about your fuel pump man and missing the event. Pretty decent Vette turn-out but could always run more. 3 days at a race track is always fun (especially when stuff is working for the most part)...
