Triangle Area NC dragracing
I and possibly some others are planning on going to test and tune next Wednesday the 30th at Roxboro dragway. http://www.roxboromotorsports.com/
Would anybody else like to come? Roxboro is about 40 minutes north of Raleigh I believe, looked like a brand new track on the website. It will be my first time to a track so it will be a new experience for me......

Re: Triangle Area NC dragracing (tarheelracer)
I'd be willing to come up. Roxy's only about 15 min away from me. Don't have the car though, clutch is going, going...
Maybe a few good burn outs would do it some good!!! :crazy:

I'm still planning on coming out. Not racing the ZR though. Not really worth frying the clutch to barely get out of 1st gear.

Bring your '86 and we'll go head to head - '86 to '86, 4+3 to 4+3! :boxing I'll try to unfry my clutch... I'll have to warn you though, I know nothing about drag racing. :crazy:

a little too far for me to head out on a wed. my clutch is just about gone now too, same with the tires.
we should set up a fayetville day, or maybe some parking lot gudge matches at the dyno day!!
:cheers:

:lol: Heyll ya I'm skeeered Steve! I went plum up to 88mph last time at one of those looong tracks and got real nervous :eek: :cry The REAL reason is it just takes me too long to calm down enough to drive home after a wild ride like that. Well, that and I'd just get my azz druuuuged :)

Re: Triangle Area NC dragracing (BCZR1)
ok, well I have no idea where I am going, but thats what maps are for. I have printed the directions and ready to roll tomorrow. It seems that it would be a fairly dry day tomorrow evening.
So Brian, are you going? If so, lets meet up at char grill 57 (same place) at 4pm? Things starts at 6 in Roxboro.
Take care.

Re: Triangle Area NC dragracing (urpow)
Doh! I just remembered that I have other things scheduled for tomorrow evening. Completely forgot about it. Void all my posts above. However, Brian you planning to attend Fayetteville test and tune on Thursday? I am sure I am heading out there if weather permits, and I am sure weather will permit.
I think Chris is rolling on Thursday as well, as few others I think.
Take care.

Re: Triangle Area NC dragracing (urpow)
Hmmm. I'm going out of town early Friday, and I'm planning to take the z, and need to do a few things to her on Thursday eve. I don't really want to take her out and then have to clean it again when I get home. How about I just ride along with you :D
