My r/t's sucked. :banghead: Its hard to go on that last yellow. More practice and I think I could get it down a little more. As I said its my first time. I don't think its too bad, but we had a ball!!!! :gr_jest:

Thats cool, good times! Any other 04 GTOs there? If I didn't work nightshift i'd be at 66 alot.

 

[Dean360]

Yeah I work night shift too. :banghead: and 66 is only a 30 minute drive. Nice times Kfrey! Dont worry about RT's unless your bracket racing.

 

[Ozzie Goat]

Let's gather on a Tues test-n-tune before the season ends.

Good times kfrey. Hope you've got a helmet - you're going to need it to stay legal.

Hey, what sort of helmets do you guys wear when you drag?

NO OTHER GTO BUT A TON OF TA'S AND STANGS, A FEW OLDER CARS AND VETTS. THE TRACK IS CLOSED NEXT TUE, I PLAN ON GOING THE FOLLOWING TUE. WOULD BE NICE TO OTHER GTO'S THERE.

IF U GO TO 66, AND YOUR CAR IS FASTER THAN 14 YOU NEED A HELMET, WHICH IS SNELL APPROVED!!!!! THEY WANT TO SEE IT AND LOOK FOR THE SNELL STICKER. IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A SNELL STICKER (LOOK INSIDE AND LIFT UP THE PADDING) YOUR NOT RACING!!!!!!!! ALSO U CAN'T WEAR SHORTS IF RACING AND NO SLEEVLESS SHIRTS!!!!!!! THEY WILL NOT LET U RACE AND THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!! ALSO I FORGOT TO TELL U THAT AFTER MY FIRST RUN I WEIGHED THE CAR AND WITH ME IN IT....3970LBS...LEAD SLED...I WEIGH 210 SO THE CAR'S WEIGH 3760 LBS :eek2:

I was so hoping that you had been broken of that all caps thing you do. oh well. Baby steps right

How much gas did you have in the car?

The Snell helmet is an NHRA rule as far as I can tell - all the tracks I look at have that rule as well. Though the shorts and shirts are a per track thing and none of the places out here seem to have that regulation.

YES BIG GIANT BABY STEPS :gr_jest:
ABOUT 3/4 TANK. :barf: YEA I KNOW......1/4 TANK OR LESS
:gr_jest:

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Actually that's an NHRA rule, not Route 66's. Route 66 has to abide by it in order to maintain their NHRA classification.

Weather permitting, I'd be up for it two weeks from now. The best time to go to a Nationals event will be the week after the Nationals though which come at the end of the month. I haven't been racing in some time, so even I may be a little rusty. I Think the last time I went, I raced my HD.

Tuesday September 14 - bring your goat to the strip day!!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Perhaps we should post this in the Midwest section too in order to get those that may not venture this way.

 

[kfrey1]

Tec Line Opens At 4:00 After That It Gets Long Real Quick! I'am Trying To Get The Owner Of The Pontiac Dealership To Bring His Old Gto Down To Drag. Ya Know New Vs Old. It Would Be A Good Time If U Guys Would Come Down. You Guys That Have To Work....tell Your Boss That Your Brother's Car Broke Down And You Have To Go And Pick Him Up. After All, Arn't All Of Us Gto Owners Bros?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I know, this is why I avoid 66 on Tuesday's like the plague!
