All the weather services have it hitting next Friday / Saturday. This really sucks!

We are all for meeting and going out. So far we have a large group coming down (11). . . . if weather permits.

Woo woo...

PLEASE don't go our way. I've been looking forward to Roebling for a fair bit of the year. I FINALLY got registered. R compounds are ready to get mounted. The Z is REAAADY!!!

About dinner... from what I understand the local group would be all game! We tend to be HUGE fans of BBQ and Alcohol... as long as you can provide this we'll be okay! (Don't worry, once we wake up... after a nice we'll be okay to race!)

T-Minus five days!!! Woo woo!

gotta let me know about dinner reservations if you want me to make them, man...

...and if you don't want me to make them, tell me where you're making yours, because I want to attend!

Just got off the phone with Doug, and we talked about schedules...

SHOULD work okay. We're anticipating rolling in around 3pm. From there we have to check into the hotel, I have to get my r compounds mounted up, then the typical just CHILL for a few minutes. Then I do believe tech is around 7pm?

If we made reservations for a late night dinner say 8 or 9 we should be able to do it!

List so far from Middle Tennessee Z Club -
Doug Stewart - 350z
Chris Vazquez - 350z
Adam Broslat - 350z
Mike Edens - 350z
Randy Shedd & Mark - 280z ITS Car

If we can do dinner at 8 we should be able to have dinner and get to the dragstrip with enough time to get our money's worth.

Doable?

Default Dragstrip

Chris, you and Adam are each welcome to give it "hell"! I do need to warn you though, I up'ed the 150 shot to 200 and it now gives instant "nose bleed"!!! Good news & bad news!!! The bad news is my clutch started slipping while on the dyno Friday, but the good news is I'm having a stage 3 clutch installed Tuesday!! The new clutch will allow us to come off the line a little "stronger", I've been going off between 5500 & 5800 since the addition of the 16" MTs. See everyone Friday morning in Chattanooga & look forward to meeting Richard & "others" in Savannah! Dinner Friday night before Drag Strip is a go!!

Alright fellas, I will be making reservations tomorrow for dinner. I will see if I can get the parking lot roped off for us as well.

I am going to try to make dinner at 8 because I don't want to miss out on the dragstrip. Mike's car is definitely worth seeing in my opinion If you want me to make the reservation earlier or later please let me know sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.

So you're telling me, just to dump the clutch at 5600 rpm?!?! DAMNNNN... muah hahhahahaa.

Mike, something to think about while the clutch is being done... why don't you try and get the JWT flywheel overnighted... would be a VERY worthwhile mod!!!! While the tranny is out anyway, it won't cost you ANYMORE in labor. SERIOUSLY think about!

... I can already tell... this is going to be a VERY long week.

I think we will be having 4 more (non-racing) guests with us. You better include them just in case.
