If your car isn't ready, you should still stop by and join the party: Sounds like there will be some good food, death metal, fast cars, tuning, a photographer, etc... and, did I hear that someone is holding a bikini contest too?

My next purchase may be Hoosiers for the 15" rims since I have not had the best of luck with M/T nor the Goodyears, which I plan to sell.
Hopefully the older tires will give do better than the crappy results you had with the other ones. I'm confident that your rear will hold up just fine on those tires as well.
Oh and remember, you enter the track at the rear entrance, not the usual main gate.

You are more than welcome to attend; however, I do not think that you will win the contest.

Any chance someone will be at the rental that knows how to use a delay box? I understand the concept but never used one and the car we're bringing has an old Dedenbear unit that I would love to try out.

Yes they're giving me a brand new one, the whole thing is in process as we type this and I should have it within a week or so.

Speaking of which; it better not be raining.
Time to run this POS down the 1320 and eat some yummy smoked ribs.

Done Deal: I'll figure out how we'll fit them with all the other rims and tires that we're bringing down... thanks

If you live near Piscataway, you can always stop by and pick them up as well.

I live near Atco, but my office is in Woodbridge (Metropark). If you can't fit them, no problem, I can pick them up. I won't need them until next year.

Thanks

Gary, Rob, anyone... Prior to the rental, can you post/send out some info for dummies like me, such as "What time to arrive", "Were to enter the track/which gate?", etc.

I've only gone to Atco for T&T (no rentals). I did go there many moons ago to attend Jim Harrington's Drag Race school, which was like a rental. But, I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn and therefore not as smart on this topic as I would like

Any info is appreciated... Thanks again!
Dave

The track can be ready as early as 9:15 to take passes. I recommend we have a quick meeting at around 8:45 ish to go over the rules, so it would be beneficial to everyone to get there around 8:00 if you have minimal setup to do. Everyone must fill out a tech card and sign the back and return it us prior to taking a pass. If you come late you may have to wait to get all your paperwork completed and that can hold you up from taking some early passes in the best air.

Dave,
When you drive west on Jackson Road, the track will be on the right. Go past the main entrance and enter from the western entrance.

If the extended forcast proves to be right we could have some very, very good air (for this time of year) at the rental. Right now the day time high is forcast as 68 the low of 52. Lets hope this forcast is correct. If it proves out, I may stay to run in the TT in the night session.

Dave, you should pick an index like 9.50 & dial your car in for the LSX shootout Rumble Class.

Also practice staging, best launch rpm, tire pressure, etc.

Have a plan, just don't go there & make a couple wow passes and learn nothing from it.
