Drag Racing - Pacific Raceways June 4
 
Yesterday's (5/21) drag racing event was washed out. The next open date on a Wednesday night that people seem to be gravitating towards is 6/4. Lets get a roll call of who plans to make it out on this date.

Here's a list of requirements for those going.
Helmet (if your running quicker than 13.99, any C5 or C6 should be able to do this).
Tire pressure gage (if you plan to play with tire pressures).
Normal dress (pants, short sleeves are allowed, closed toed shoes)
Pen (for filling out registration card)
"Write on" (for writing your assigned number on your windows).
Drivers License
Cash (I think your looking at around $40 to get in and registered. If you want any food while you are there bring extra.)

I'll add to this list if people reply with more suggestions. Who wants to play?

I'm in.
Just want to justify wearing the helmet with something in the 13s.

I'm up for it.

I plan to attend.

This will be my first 1/4 mile. Two goals--13.xx and don't break the car.

Who else is a first timer?

ydasscar 05-22-2008 10:11 PM

While not my very first time drag racing, this will be the first time for this car. (C5)
I got me a set of them there split fire spark plugs and now I am pretty sure it is fast.

Can't wait!

I'm in and this will be my first time in a car as well and definitely first time drag racing with hand controls. Before my motorcycle accident, I had drag raced my CBR900RR a couple times (high 10s). This should be fun! :thumbs:

Not sure it will be as much fun as running 10's on a bike (Those guys have huge cajones) but it can be a challenge and frustrating getting the most out of these cars.

BTW I have updated the list.

I'm in as well. I've made passes at Pacific Raceways before, but this will be the first time in the Z.

First timer here. First time in new (old) car and first time not autocrossing. I am gonna try to make it out, but I have to work if it is on a Wednesday.

NW94Z 05-30-2008 12:32 AM

Just updated the list. I've been gone for the last week and did not have internet access. Yikes!!!!

Forecast for this Wednesday is looking similar to the last time we tried to do this. Lingering morning showers and a dry afternoon. Everyone still in?

PuyZ06 06-02-2008 02:46 PM

I'll hold my judgement until Wednesday morning

AFRob 06-02-2008 03:20 PM

I'm still in as long as the weather is ok.
Thanks for the reminder. I need to go borrow a helmet.

Any interest in caravaning from the Puyallup area?

TMyers 06-02-2008 10:34 PM

I have got the mother of all colds so I doubt I will be there.

AaronZ51 06-02-2008 11:43 PM

I'm still planning on being there unless the weather is once again uncooperative. If it's iffy, we'll have to reschedule yet again.

Isn't it June? I had to turn my furnace on yesterday morning. What's up with that? :toetap:

How long you been up here? Everyone knows the warm....ok the warmish weather doesn't kick in until after July 4. ;)

When are you going to know for sure if this is on or off? Weather wise...
