Sometimes the domestics do grudge mania at these events and they wont show the times. It bothers some but I'm more interested in seat time and you still get a slip.

Thanks guys for the compliments on the rims. I atleast wanted to look good "flying" down the track.
I am down for the Dec. Sat night. Make it a weekend? Stay the night in a motel?
I thought everyone paid before the meet? I know Tom needed more to show to break even. TOm let me know what I can do. You helped me with the meet we had down here.

Hey Jay so do they give you a slip with your time when they dont show them? Also I never got to meet you and rattle your brain
Thanks

Unfortunately they don't cut any breaks, I tried that yesterday because I goofed on the time the track would be open until and they said too bad (not in those exact words).
Chris ...you do get time slips.

Well coach...how much is needed to reserve the track? I be we have about 10-15 guys that would pay right now. We could even invite other car imports if we dont get enough Z/G owners.....Hell I wonder if we could get some media coverage if we tried...

IMO I think a Saturday Night Showdown or Runday Sunday would work out just fine. I ate 2 grand on this, but thats ok. I don't know if you would want to do that.
Let us know
