Default [RCG] Lets finalize dyno day...

OK, small change in plan the (3) of us Me, Jed and Randy are running from 1-2 slots on Saturday.., however I need more like one hour so we have a small change that I just verified through Werks.

1:00 Jed
1:30 - 2:30 Rick
2:30 Randy

Where and when do you guys want to meet before hand. I was thinking something like 11:00 somewhere so we can get some food before going up and have plenty of time to set-up our cars. What do you guys think?

I think you guys should place a bet on who has the most HP and who has the least amount of HP. We need a "Top Power Guy" in the club. We also need a "Fastest RCG Vette" for the 1/4 mile. It's all about "Braggin rights" :yesnod:

I vote Chilis, we can meet at 1100. Weather is supposed to be phenomenal. Let's hope it doesn't change. :thumbs:

I vote Chilis, we can meet at 1030 if you think it may be crowded. Weather is supposed to be phenomenal. Let's hope it doesn't change. :thumbs:
Can you be any more vague in your directions or aren't you country boys aware that there are more then one Chili's resteraunt in the city? :p:

OK, then it is set 10:30 am the only Chili's resteraunt in the state of NC...off hwy 77 exit 25. Is that a right or left off the exit...or shall I just ask the farmer tending to his sheep in the medow?? :p: :D

Well Dave's still got my car right now finishing up some work, so hopefully I will be able to show something on Sat. as well. BTW: These are only my base line runs so I can get an idea of how much more power I will make with the next group of mods coming up...I might have some surprises in store as well ;) :yesnod:

You and Randy definately need to go to Aiken...there will be over 100 vettes from around the country there :smash: :yesnod:

Out of the 3 I will be the lowest HP car. These guys should be 500-600rwhp...I'm in the 450 range I would guess. My car is a little lighter and I should make good torque "under the curve" but peak #'s will go to one of those guys. I'll see you guys at Chili's...Rick heading north on I-77 go to top of ramp at Exit #25... turn right and you will see it on your right as soon as you come off of the ramp. You can't enter from there so turn right at the first light and then enter. :cheers:

Hell, I don't have any surprises.........I'm broke as a gutter bum after the wheels and tires. Those will be on by Saturday and hmmmm just in time for Aiken if the weather is good.

Can you sign up to run Satuday (aiken) when you get there? If so you better have that gas tuned big boy! :cheers: :D

When does Sat racing start?

hp results will depend on whether or not "nitro C5" lives up to that title. If he sprays the 200, he'll top me, if he sprays 100 it'll be close. Randy will be surprised at his car, I bet he's around 470hp come Saturday. :thumbs:

I'm so looking forward to the 14th and the following weekend that I'm sure a blizzard will shut down the state :lol:
