You should come up in June for the NMCA event.
June 3-5

It's really a nice facility.

I was just doing the math...about 750 buck+ in gas. I will probably hold out for good air for a trip like that. Looks like 12 hours + **** and eat breaks, so a day and a half travel one way. Hotels and such will be a $1200 vacation. If I call it a vacation, it makes me feel better

May have to miss the Bowling Green event then...sux as this is the Tenth Year and a big event. I can't get off my new job 2 times in a three months. Running a new best is more important to me.

Anyone know if there is a 2 car trailer rental available anywhere ?

FP...Are you still coming to Florida for a Dolphin swim ?? If you can swing by the East Coast of Fl..you are welcome to stay at the Hotel Pittman instead of paying a Motel-6. We could hit Gainesville in your vette, if that is what you are driving down !! I have trailer and tires

Pittman we are still planning on coming down to Florida in the Fall. You scared me with the gas money forecast though
Honestly I just put a offer in on short sale house on Friday so I'm nervous to see what happens. It will be $500 more a month in payment but nearly double the square footage and a oversized 2 car garage. If everything goes through bring your son and wife cause we will have more spare bedrooms than we know what to do with being just 2 of us and 4 bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms and a half bathroom LOL! You can plan to come stay for the week. Get up here on Thursday or Friday, stay through to the next week for free and you will have if we plan it right the ability to go to 4 tracks (MIR,Cecil,Atco,Capitol) on Friday,saturday, sunday, tuesday, thursday,Friday,saturday sunday again and leave monday. That should fix you right up . Maybe Bring Joe_G up and maybe we can get PRE-Z06 to come up since i'll have plenty of room and you guys can race your hearts out!!! LOL!

Why don't you come down to PBIR? We have a brand new facility too, and it is nice. December and January are our months for racing, and we have a great crew to hang out with between runs. Here's a write up about one of our events last winter, we had a guest tutor that night. He lives in FL now.

On January 12, 2011, while it snowed a foot in NY, we had unusually good weather at Palm Beach International Raceway, with DA's dipping to -900 and relative humidity in the 35% range which is VERY rare for our area.

We had the good fortune of having a guest coach that evening, none other than Ranger himself. Ranger was a wonderful coach to all, helping 4 Vette racers achieve new PB's and sharing enough tips to fill a book.

Here are some videos from the evening. Nice to re-live a great evening while preparing these. Best part of all was we all drove home.

My only run of the night. I need a couple/three runs to get in my groove, but now that I've got my 10 second slip...I'm not so keen to beat on my 49,000 mile, 433 pass stock clutch anymore.



Justasheet's new PB. His car ran dead nuts consistent all night, 11.4's. It's a fresh build, cam only car, 3200 stall, headers. Great performance for low mods. Looks and sounds great Jeff! A happy HP Sales-Pompano customer.



TKR's amazing run, placing him #2 on the C6Z Fast list (internal mods category)...Tom has only 18 runs total in this car, and hasn't raced since the 80's prior to this.
He ran 10.77, 10.95, 10.83, 10.85, 10.49, 10.46. Prior to 1/12/11, he'd never ran a 10 second run in his life. Amazing improvement from his first few passes of a few weeks ago (I won't mention the times a few weeks ago). Tom you are a quick study indeed.

It's a 08 Z06, cam, headers, RPS dual carbon clutch, 3.90 gears. Amazing performance. Another happy HP Sales - Pompano customer.

Here's his best run.



Paul, (SaleenS281S/C) set a new PB on his first outing in his bone stock, DR only C6 Z06, but no good videos. Next time Paul. Nice to meet you!

This 2011 Mustang is out there a lot. This thing is really fast for his mods and he drives the bejeezus out of it. Always a fun watch.



Ranger thanks again for all your help.

Boys lets do it again before summer hits next month.

It is a very nice track. Large facility, too. My wife (who was my g/f at the time) took me there for a Pinks All-Out for my birthday about 2 years ago. I married her shortly after..lol.

Anyway, there was plenty of room for all the cars that attended the event -- huge pit area.

The only thing I didn't like was the parking arrangements. I had my car all shined up and we had to park in a grassy and very dusty area. I'll admit, though, I think that was the overflow parking for the sake of the event. The parking lot was reserved for VIP parking and racers; might be better on a regular race day.
