Chrysler Classic - Norwalk, OH

[dodgeshadowchik]

I figured i'd start a thred for this, since it seemed to peek interest in the mopar nats pic thread. :) I am going to try my hardest to hopefully gain movement back of my shifting arm to get the csx out for norwalk.

so who all wants to go!! let's keep the fwd momentum up!! :love:

[jaysshelby]

The Buckeye Chapter and Steel City Chapter will have a large group there on the show field.
Also you beat me on starting this thread.:hail:

[dodgeshadowchik]

:)

Great! can't wait to see them! what can i say.... i'm addicted to these cars.... and i really would like to see more of them race and show!!

[sy2206]

I'll be there with my GLHS.....

[DC Turismo]

Yep, a bunch of us will be heading out that way! Can't wait to catch up with everyone again!

[glhturbo1985]

I right there with you dodgeshadowchick! I'm pretty sure we all love these cars and want to see more of them raced and displayed!

[BadAssPerformance]

Damn.... sounds like I'm gonna miss a cool event :(

[dodgeshadowchik]

its ok.... just get the z better! :)

[Blue Iroc R/T]

Wow, Sounds like it is going to be a great time this year! In addition to the Buckeye Chapter, Going to have Steel City AND DSC! :hail: :thumb:
I'll be there! :nod: Look forward to seeing all of you!

[ohiorob]

looking forword to this one :love: see you all there.

[R/T]

Dammmit, same weekend as the Indy Moto GP.... :(

I'm busy that weekend.... :hail:

[brummy]

You steel city guys will be rolling up 76, right? If so, I can meet you where 80/76 tie together.

[brummy]

Also you beat me on starting this thread.:hail:

Not sure if you need a tally of how many cars we plan on rolling in with, but count me in.

:thumb:

Perhaps a little friendly chapter competition? Whose chapter will show up with more cars? :eyebrows:

[jamesmonty]

Anyone camping out? If I go I don't think I could afford a hotel, but I'm up for free camping. I even have a big a$$ tent. Brummy- I live close maybe we could roll out together? Dont think ill have my omni together but my mini would be useful camping!

[brummy]

Brummy- I live close maybe we could roll out together?

You live in Morrow, OH? Mapquest shows you down by the Nati in the southwest corner of the state. I'm about an hour from the OH/PA border on I-80.


Hotel rooms look to be in the $75-110 range. Hows the nightlife in Norwalk?

[jamesmonty]

Sorry! Thought you were closer for some reason. It must be past my bed time.

[jaysshelby]

This is awesome. If everyone here that is thinking of going does, there will be close to 50 Turbo Dodges for show and racing at the track.

[shelbyconcepts]

Jason,

I'm going too.....Booked the room the other day....Now I'll I need is to talk Craig and Joe into it too!

What do we have to put on the registration form again? SDAC?

Tim

[dunny]

As of right now I'm in. I have to make hotel arrangements and decide if I'm coming up Friday night or Saturday morning. Also have to figure out what class I will race in. I'd love to race at Norwalk again and see if I can get deep into the 11's :)

[glhturbo1985]

I'm pretty sure I'm coming out for this one. Camping sounds like an alright deal for one night. (Saturday) Only question concerning camping is showering. Any Norwalk Veteran's opinnions are welcome and wanted about camping there. (nearby the SDAC party)

There is no pre-registration this year just pay at the gate. Just tell the gate keepers you are doing the club challenge and pay them. For the Buckeye Chapter Club Challenge I have to submit a list by 8-29-08 of roughly everyone doing the challenge. Then we just have to sign the list like we did last year.

[dunny]

I just booked my room for Friday and Saturday. Total was $125 for both nights. Staying at:

Days Inn Milan/Cedar Point South
11410 State Rt 250
I-80/90 & State Rt 250
Milan, OH 44846 US

That was with a AAA discount. 5.5 miles from the track. Much better than the 40 miles I drove to the hotel from national trails.

Also - I just got an offer to have my car trailered up with a truck better setup to tow (instead of my pitiful 3.7L dakota).....so sounds like I will be there pending wife approval :)

What is the challenge? Is this a heads up class? Brackets? I'm still trying to figure out what class to run in....

[Keito]

What is the challenge? Is this a heads up class? Brackets? I'm still trying to figure out what class to run in....

I believe its just a car show between clubs.
I just go for one day and my GLH is no where near a show car, so I go and hang out and hope they give the show car field a few fun runs down the track.

[jaysshelby]

Yes Keith is correct. the Club Challenge is for the car show protion of the event.

[dunny]

Oh I see. Looks like these are the classes to choose from:

Quick 16 - $115.00
Hemi S/S - $100.00
Max Wedge - $85.00
Super Pro - $85.00
Pro - $70.00
Sportsman - $50.00
Truckin' - $50.00


Sportsman and the 10.0 class seem to be the only choices for me. Guess I'm going with sportsman brackets.

The web page says there are showers on the grounds. Looks like the only way ill make it is if I camp out. Not a big deal since I usually go camping that time of year anyway! And it was dunny I was thinking about not brummy that lives close to me!

Thars why I dont race at this event.
If they had an FWD class or something Id give it a shot.

I want to race on a norwalk prepped track :eyebrows:

I don't mind what class I'm in as long as I get 3-4 passes. I'm thinking brackets for me. I'm not bad with that anyways....

[dodgeshadowchik]

yea... i don't care either about the class i'm in... its about having fun! also, i want to experience a norwalk prepped track, too! :D

[jamesmonty]

Since we have a large group camping out you can set up by the rest of us if you like.

Cool! PM me when you have more details on where and when you will be there. Still don't know what day ill come up but with my work I'm very flexable.

[jaysshelby]

I will be there on Friday about noon. Just look for the red Rampage on the show field and you will find me.

[smokinsrt]

I won't be bringing the van(shaggin wagon) but it looks like I will be comin up with a buddy pulling Dunnys car. Whose gonna be there Friday night? Get a group to go out to eat Friday or Saturday night?

[Gearhead24-7]

I've got relatives in the Sandusky area, I may roll out Thursday and hit them up for some weekend accommodation's.

[pokadot1]

Lee and I are coming. our first trip over the mountains this year. We will bring out the 63 Plymouth Savoy wagon and run Max Wedge. I hope we can meet up. We both really missed not coming to the nats, Both mopar and sdac

EVER!!! :thumb:
The old wagon was a running son of a gun Sunday at Mason Dixon. I ran 3 classes NSS and All Motor Index for Mason Dixon and I had to finish the rained out last Three rounds of AMI from the beaver springs raceway race.
I lost in the 4th round of the MD AMI Class
I won NSS over the second in points, Comet wagon
I won the Beaver Springs rained out race.
17 runs down the track
11 of 12 were wins
I new I could not win the 4th round AMI as there was not enough time to get back for the 5th round beacuse I was in the semis of NSS oh well.
I almost feel like a 5oh joe with all the wins
I run two series's. 422 Allstars and the Ram Racing Na AMI Class
I am points leader in both with 2 races to go.

It will be Great to see 5 oh Joe again. I hope Joe you are not running the NSS class. you are tooooo good for me.
Cliiff

[shelbyconcepts]

Cliff,

From Joe....

Thanks for keeping me in the loop Tim.. Tell cliff to keep cool. I'm in the slow poke class as always.

[Reeves]

[BadAssPerformance]

:(

OUCH! :(

[glht_omni]

i should be there, gotta go to court on the 8th so i hope they dont take all my money.
camping would be great and a few tenths quicker on the norwalk track will be awesome.

[csxtra]

5 year old motor is warrened out.

It could be worse, it could be bro-Ken...

[jaysshelby]

turn out from the Buckeye Chapter is roughly 20 members. Plus the GL, Steel City and those coming to race. Looks close to about 40-50 fwd Turbo cars will be there.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Looks like it's going to be a good turn out. I'm trying like mad to make it, be about 600 miles from Bristol.

Who else in for the long distance award? :eyebrows:

[R/T]

Not going to make it. OMNI is dripping oil from the tailpipe just sitting in the garage. 5 year old motor is warrened out.

[glht_omni]

thanks for the info.
a few more questions, i know camping is included with admission, but is there a general admission for the weekend along with the race class fee or is the drag racing fee the admission?

[Mike_Shepard]

Is this september 12th thru the 14th? Why did I think it was the 29th

[ohiorob]

Get the trans fixed?

[glht_omni]

thanks rob.
yeah mike its the 12-14th.

[Mike_Shepard]

Dangit. This means I've got even less time to get mine together.

Does it need to be 100% drivable to enter? I need intercooler piping and its done.

[jaysshelby]

As long as it moves under its own power your good.

[Mike_Shepard]

I may have to rig up some sort of intake then so that im not sucking up dirt and debris. Maybe run it non intercooled for the event only

[glht_omni]

i just called up their track and they said they werent sure if they were offering on site camping yet and to call back closer to the event (2 weeks isnt close enough?)
there are other campgrounds nearby, but wouldnt be included in the racing fee.

also their spectator rates are $15 on friday, $20 on sat, and $15 on sunday OR $30 all weekend.
and if you are racing you do not have to pay for spectating like rob mentioned.

[jaysshelby]

I just sent an email to Chris who is in charge of the Classic event and asked about the camping issue. As soon as I hear back I will post here for everyone.

[Turbo3Iroc]

How much is it if you just want to show?

[jaysshelby]

20.00

[jaysshelby]

Ok this is the e-mail I just got from Chris at the Classic Events.

Yes you can camp. We offer free primitive camping to all PARTICIPANTS I’m not sure why Norwalk keeps telling people this. I have had several phone calls over this.

Thank you,

Chris

Hope this will clear things up for those who want to camp out.

[glhturbo1985]

Will a 20.00 fee for entering into the show get the driver and passenger in, or is it 15.00 extra for every passenger?

[jaysshelby]

20.00 entry fee is for driver and car. Anyone else is extra.

[glht_omni]

thanks jay!

dan, are you PA guys roughin it in the woods?? i can actually hang out this time instead of leaving sdac every day for midnight work.

[glhturbo1985]

I'm trying to get a solid number of people together, but I think I might be the only one!:(
I need to give everyone a call really soon and find out for sure.

[jaysshelby]

Dan
I do know Billy said he is planning on attending. so possibly 2

[glht_omni]

i thought i heard pat and rob mentioning that they were going too. so hopefully the whole crew goes.

[glhturbo1985]

I'm thinking only 4 or 5 people will show up in 3 or 4 cars from the Steel City Chapter. I'm contemplating camping it on Saturday night and saving the drive back for another day.

[jaysshelby]

If you think your gonna camp you can set up by the rest of us if you like. Also when you can shoot me over the names of those who you think are going with their car.

[glhturbo1985]

PM sent Jay!

I just checked out the website for the show & I'm getting pumped. So, who is the lady with the 84 Turbo Z who won best original interior last year??? Is she affiliated with the club?

What class are you putting your rampage in? Shelby/Dodge or some other misc class? I'm wondering what class my car would be considered. It's hard to interpret what I saw on the site as I was bouncing around, forward and backward so much.? To get judged or not?!?!?!?!?

[jaysshelby]

I think we will be in the Shelby Dodge fwd class.

[Mike_Shepard]

Is that a new class? Shleby? I hope they dont confuse them with chebies (chevy's)

[dunny]

I don't think I'm going to make it......I will be coming back from Washington DC that friday night around 9pm so it would be tough to get up there. We'll see

[ohiorob]

I don't think I'm going to make it......I will be coming back from Washington DC that friday night around 9pm so it would be tough to get up there. We'll see

too bad,was looking forward to seeing you there.

[dunny]

too bad,was looking forward to seeing you there.

Yeah I was looking forward to being there! I haven't canceled my room yet but it is going to be tough to come up. I just found out I have to go for some training that week before from 9/8-9/12. Getting back into Cincy at 8pm I won't be home until 9. That leaves very little time to get up to northern ohio that night....I'm not completely sure yet I will be discussing with chris to see what he thinks (he offered to pull my car up).

[sy2206]

I got my new tires last night. Gonna get those mounted up early next week and I'll be ready to go.

[glhturbo1985]

I'm hoping that this trip confirms that my old oil leak was purely blowby by boosting it up a little more than usual. Highway miles should help confirm this thought. Damm Blowby had me worried for a while there until I cleaned up the oil resting in the top channels of my 525. Only one way the oil got there!

[OMNI-Potent]

I got my new tires last night. Gonna get those mounted up early next week and I'll be ready to go.

You BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaysshelby]

Mark, did you find a tent yet? What tires did you go with.

[black86glhs]

Jay, I can't show until Sat, but am seriously considering showing up. I'll even drive my S. Might see if my buddy can come along. I'll let you know more later. Besides, you could bring that console mount with you.:thumb:
I talked to Greg earlier and he said he won't like me if I don't go, so I think it is looking better....lol.;)

that would be cool if you can make it and drive the S. I wont have the mount with me as its at my dads shop and I will not be down there before the show.

[sy2206]

You BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL.


Mark, did you find a tent yet? What tires did you go with.

No, I'm still looking for a place to stay for the weekend. My tent is back in MN. So if anyone has an extra spot, let me know!

I got 205/45/16 Yokohama S-drives. They're the brand new Yokohama tire. They're going on a set to SRT4 ACR BBS wheels. It should look sweet on the GLHS....

[Turbo3Iroc]

Mark, did you test fit those wheels yet? I looked into them also and the offset is different than the nearly identical aftermarket BBS wheels. Pics!

[shelbyconcepts]

Oh man...now I'm going to have to buy new wheels......LOL...Just kidding!

[sy2206]

Mark, did you test fit those wheels yet?

LOL, nope. All the neon and shelby dodge stuff is so very very cose on offset. I've had neon wheels on my Shelby, and Shelby wheels on my neon. I don't have them mounted up yet, but I'll post picts as soon as I do. I'm supposed to get the wheels and tires mounted and balanced tomorrow. I probably won't get them on the car until this coming weekend.

[Mike_Shepard]

Jay I hate to sound like a broken record or a crappy member but my wife has to work friday and saturday nights of that week so I probly wont make it. If by some chance I get the inlaws to watch Ian I'll be there

[jaysshelby]

no problem, makin money for the family comes first

[jaysshelby]

fun begins a week from today

[glhturbo1985]

Woot woot! I'm not sure If I'm camping Sat. or just attending at this point. (and of course... the weather will determine if I even come) I hope!!!!! it's beautiful that weekend! We've had such nice weekends the past 2 months here in PA that it's bound to get crappy all of a sudden. Let's hope not though!

[dodgeshadowchik]

woot!

cant wait!! and it looks like i'll be able to drive!!! :D

[sy2206]

As of right now, I'm still not sure if I'm going to go for the whole weekend, or just cruise up Sat morn and hang out for the day.

However, I did get my new wheels/tires mounted and balanced last night. Can't wait to get them on the car and see how it looks.

Perfect. Sounds like I'm gonna come up early Sat morn, and head out when everyone leaves on Sun.


There not on the car yet?......get going! lol.....See ya in a week! Tim

LOL. Hopefully this afternoon.....

[jaysshelby]

sweet, I will give you a call as well to make sure we have everything needed for the big cookout on saturday.

[sy2206]

Alright, I'm ready to go. Got my fuel leak fixed, new wheels/tires on, and my camping arrangements made. See you guys next Saturday!

Here's some picts of the new wheels/tires. I think it looks pretty good!

[sy2206]

Yeah, I'm concerned with the forecast also. If it rains, which it looks like it's going to, I'll be staying home. Hopefully the weather patterns change by the end of the week....

[jaysshelby]

[Keito]

That's right, your cars are junk!!!!:)

Do I see a little challenge coming @ SDAC next year?
And I do mean little.:eyebrows:

[glht_omni]

looks like i am not going to make it, no running car, rained out for camping, need to go the opposite way to iowa for a $200 turbo van!

[Blue Iroc R/T]

Hey All, the show goes on Rain or Shine! Jay; remember two years ago, we dried our cars down 3 or 4 times during the judging and then ended up be judged under the Grandstands, ONE Class at a time. :nod: Didn't get out of there until almost 7pm.

I am looking forward to seeing you all Saturday & Sunday. Don't WIMP out on us! :thumb:

[dodgeshadowchik]

i shall be there! :) we all know how midwest weather is... they can't predict anything 15 mintues into the future! so maybe we'll get lucky and it'll hold off.

Yep Ralph is right it is rain or shine. I know that was a long day. I just hope it does not come to having to wipe the cars down several times. And it will put a big kink in camping out.

Just place an inflatable raft under your sleeping bag. Problem solved.:thumb:

[jaysshelby]

Ok its time to start prayin to the sun gods.

[BadAssPerformance]

do a "Sundance" ;)

[shelbyconcepts]

do a "Sundance" ;)

Oh your a Fun-gi!....Regular Bob Hope......... Well regardless I'm going.... The Hotel HotTub is just calling my name..... My back is killing me! LOL

[Reeves]

do a "Sundance" ;)

Hopefully the weather will be more of a "Duster" that you could see your "Shadow" in rather than a "Rampage" of rain/storms.

[Blue Iroc R/T]

Jay; It's still looking like it going to be wet. If you are going to have your Canopy there on the showfield, save a place for me next to you and I'll set up my canopy next to yours to give more dry room for everyone to gather. :thumb:

[black86glhs]

I'm bringing my "S". The funny thing is, it looks better when wet.:D
Considering how bad the paint is, that isn't suprising.;)

[Turbo3Iroc]

If anyone can bring a cigarette lighter socket for a Spirit I would greatly appreciate it!

[jaysshelby]

Ralph, sounds good we will have 5 canopy's to put together then. so we should have a large enough area to keep dry.

[jaysshelby]

If anyone can bring a cigarette lighter socket for a Spirit I would greatly appreciate it!


Kelly
is it different than the others. I think I have one from a Daytona console if it will work.

[ucku]

Be there on the 13th and can i get shadow chic to stand by my car in those white high healls shoes only i will take the pic.:eyebrows:

Just got home from there.
Jay and I had to move the canopy, there was a river running under it.

[Turbo3Iroc]

Kelly

I think the mounting bracket makes it different. But even if it isn't transferrable to the Daytona one, it will be better than the nothing I have now. Thanks!

[sy2206]

I don't think I'm gonna make it guys. It looks like it's going to be raining all weekend... :(

[black86glhs]

I'm still going. Put the old grill back on earlier. It is broken, but better than no grill. Might have to try and find one while I am there. Bumperettes for the rear also.

[Keito]

I just watched the weather, tomorrow looks better

[dodgeshadowchik]

yup. its raining... :( and it doesn't look like its going let up anytime soon....

stopped by buschur racing where i'm picking up my friend's car for him to bring back to MI... so here's a picture of a 1g talon; 525HP :)

hehe!

well.. if it wasn't raining and flooding everything i'd say ok! lol!

[glhturbo1985]

Well, the weather isn't promising at all! Therefore, I am not attending the event today. Chris Ellis' Lebaron vert' ran into some transmission (throwout bearing or something internal) problems on his way home from our last event. Billy and Pat's grandmother passed away early Thursday morning, so they are unable to attend... etc. May all our prayers be with them!

Needless to say, things just happened. Hopefully next year things turn out better for us Steel City Chapter guys and we can have a good turnout for this show we've heard so much about.

[dodgeshadowchik]

awwww, that's not good news... i hope the best for thier family. :(

but yea, all its doing is raining.... :(

[jaysshelby]

yep, I just got home a little bit ago. Still trying to dry everything out. Bummer of a weekend, but Greg, Bruce and I had a good time camping out and bs'ing by the bon fire last night. Sorry I do not stick around for those who did show up today. I just wanted to get home and dry out.

[Keito]

Weird, I drove by there on the way home and saw the EVO, still
had the window sticker on it.
Figured someone is already modding it.

[black86glhs]

It is 2:30 am Sunday morning. Just got back from Norwalk. Man did I need to get back to the track. Great to see the select few(and man do I mean few) of the buckeye chapter...lol. Great to see you again Tim. Mary Beth, it was great to meet you and see you and Tim run! Got to meet Ohio Rob and watch one f*cking fast Charger!!! Bruce, I know you don't have a computer, but it was great to wander around and watch the drags. Glad you got the van home ok. Jason, thanks for the heads up on the Charger kick panels and the engine mount. Maybe someday I'll learn the correct orientation...who knows. Ralph, thanks again, had a great time.

[Bubba]

Sorry guys...I'm in Germany drinking beer, or I'd have been there.

[dodgeshadowchik]

it was great to get to see the people who came out! :)

right now it is 4am... the track decided to stop the racing at 3:30am and continue at 9am. LOL! never got to race into the wee hours of the morning before!! I'm kinda dissapointed i couldn't get the car to get out of the 15's.. but i was thrilled to actually see the rain let up and get to run!

Tim advanced on, so he will be racing again tomorrow... :)

[dodgeshadowchik]

some pics before i call it a night....er...morning...er.. yea.

I'm thinking that this is what made the rain stop for awhile.... Not the fastest pass of the weekend (12.50@ 111 Mph) Slight traction problem?...Who knew? I'm back home and exhausted!.... great seeing everyone!.... The Monsoon season is back in Michigan tonight oh...more rain! Oh joy!

[BadAssPerformance]

Glad you guys were able to run, and I know about the rain... they recorded a record 7.11" at O'hare by my house yesterday :(

[glht_omni]

my street was flooded and i was watching cars driving through it like boats with the tail pipe submerged and bubbling!

[jaysshelby]

between fridays and saturdays rain, my rain gauge says just over 4 inches.

[dodgeshadowchik]

This is what happens when you launch from 5000rpm... LOL OOPS... sorry tim!!

Nice pics people! Next year will hopefully be better!

I hear that. Took me a few hours yesterday to clean the Rampage back up. Still need to get under it and clean up the suspension and wheel wells.

[Reeves]

How did everyone run?
How did Rob do?

[Blue Iroc R/T]

How did everyone run?

^^ +1; I wimped out and left at 9pm. 2 pounds of Ice Cream, did me in! LOL I can never go to Norwalk and NOT get their 1 pound of Ice Cream for a $1. It was nice seeing everyone again and nice to meet Gary Ollie who just saved a nice 88 Baron Conv. from the scrapper "Last Week" and then drove it to the show. :thumb: Now this was a LAST MINUTE Save. The car had the wheels/cat/exhaust removed and was on the forks and being tilted into the shreader when he got it stopped and bought it for $500. The car had a FM O1 Head, Super 60 Turbo, Super 60 Cal, and custom fuel rail just to name some of the goodies that is on this car. Nice save Gary!
Nice pics DSC! I had my camera track side to take pics of your run, but then left before you got called. :( I did get a couple pics of you taking pics. :D
But, yes I too was wondering how everyone ran. I know the FWD's didn't get to run until very late.

[shelbyconcepts]

BTW guys.... In case you haven't noticed Marybeth was driving in those photo's....

And I would like to thank Dean Stille for building a super strong trans for me!....

Dean built, Marybeth tested tough!

[black86glhs]

Tim's and Mary beth's first runs were in the low to mid 15's. I swear the track was so sticky it was like having an anchor tied to the car. Bruce Hummel and I left around 1:30 am. His Van was giving him issues, so I followed him home just in case.

[OMNI-Potent]

Well, I met up with Tim, Jay and Keith around 2:30. What is normally a 1.5 hour trip from my house to Norwalk took me 2.5 hours. The driving rain was some of the worst I have ever driven through. Thought we might be ok but after camping out in that rain on Saturday morning, Jay, Bruce and I called it quits.

Wow.......Too bad I missed some of you...

[black86glhs]

Yes it was!!!! LOL. Couldn't handle a little rain, eh???:eyebrows:;)

[dodgeshadowchik]

oops! i thought you had cliff do the trans; my bad! either way.. it can handle a beating. :thumb:

[Bubba]

Sorry I missed you guys. Nice to see you guys stick it out even with the rain and bad weather. Now back to beer.:partywoot:

[Rampage16V]

Wish I was there to cry I mean watch the beating!

[black86glhs]

It was a good time, Dean.:thumb:

[Keito]

DSC, wait, how did you launch an auto @ 5000 RPM?
If I would have known Tim was racing I would have let him borrow my drag
radials.

[sdac guy]

DSC, wait, how did you launch an auto @ 5000 RPM?
It's sort of like dumping the clutch, except you start out in neutral, raise the rpm's, and then ..... :lol::lol::lol:

[BadAssPerformance]

Hmmm... drag radials with a 5k launch... from an auto... Hmmm... that might have been bad.

[Rampage16V]

DSC, wait, how did you launch an auto @ 5000 RPM?

That's called a loose factory converter the one in my shadow convert will do that too...not sure if it is a good thing though.

[ohiorob]

It was cool to see the die hard fwd gang. sorry i did not get a chance to talk to anyone. I made two passes the first one was with the nitrous as a spool up and off at 18 lbs and 24 lbs of boost. the 2nd one was with the nitrous on all the way down the track and at 28 lbs of boost. on the 2nd run I miss 2nd gear and went right in to 3rd:mad:

Nice Rob!
So obviously the track was in good condition.
I was wondering when I was watching them scrape the track if was going to
be ideal.
Thats probably the first significant rainfall they've had in 2 months.

[dodgeshadowchik]

nice time there rob!! :) didn't get to see that run!

i added more pics to my photobucket... added in the night time ones. including this interesting neon:

Nice runs Rob!!! Did you get your convertor fixed as well? Sorry I didn't make it...I was busy blowing up trailer tires on the interstate and then drug sniffing dogs checking out the interior of my pimp van.

I didn't think the rain would ever stop. but when It did the track crew worked there butts off to get it into shape :hail:

[QUOTE=dodgeshadowchik;372836]nice time there rob!! :) didn't get to see that run!

but I did get to see you and Tim go down together. that was a cool site to see :clap:

my last run was at 3:20 AM man i was beat. thats why i ran faster then my dial in. I just wanted to go to sleep.

[Rampage16V]

Nice times...I wish I could of made it! You see a 2 spd wouldn't be so bad!

[Turbo3Iroc]

Wow, wish I could have stayed around to see those runs! Might not have made it back here until Monday though if I had.

The track crew at Norwalk has to be one of the best around. You guys are very fortunate!

What did the Neon with the V-6 run?
Jay and I stopped and looked at it for a while when we were strolling around.

[speeddemon]

Here are a couple of pics I took.

Good to see everybody - had a great time despite the weather.

I don't remember the exact number, but it was actually pretty slow. I don't think it broke the 15 sec mark.

Thanks Craig! ....Cool pic!

[dodgeshadowchik]

yea, the v6 neon was pretty slow. he was running the a604 trans with it, too. and he told me the engine had over 200,000 miles.... smoked like a 3.0 as well! I offered to sell him my engine... and the a543 trans i have :p
