I'll be at the ring 9/8. I plan on paying for a ride in the "ring taxi" with Sabine at the wheel of an M5. After that I'll take my "bravery pills" and make a lap in the 135i, praying I keep it in 1 piece :amen:

I asked for that sat/sun off so I should be there.... with my Omni! Should have it on the road soon. It runs and drives fine, I just need to get the title all cleared up with the state first.
On a unrelated note, Any one want to help me pick up a 89 horizon parts car? It's about 10 minutes from tri-state dragway. If someone can help PM me, otherwise I will have to rent a tow dolly. Could be some free parts or cash in the deal!

Ok guys, I'm planning on bringing my SL down and I would like to run it as it has never been down a track before. But... I have never been so I've got a few questions.
what does it cost?
are there any special rules or regulations I should be aware of?
also.
I just bought some 40's and a 3 bar map sensor. I was wondering if anyone is going to be bringing a chip burner and how much it would cost for you to help me tune my car. Otherwise I'm pretty excited to go, this summers SDAC was my first and I had a blast so I'm looking forward to seeing more TD's.

I don't have a way to haul the OMNI and the DJ gear. Especially if there is any chance of percepitation.
I'll be at the track from the event and then at Ken's late for the after party.

How much is it to run? what kind of tech is going to be at the track?
+1 ... and how well do they prep it?
I *think* it is $15 to race and $5 for spectators. Can't find it on their website, but I know it's no more than $20 to race and $10 for spectators.
Tech is non-existant. No joke. You pull up to a fat dude sitting on the back of his truck, give him your card, and he writes the number on the car. You don't even have to pop the hood. A lot of people go down the track without even a helmet.
Track prep is similar to Edgewater. I'll be honest, it's not that great, but it's not the worst either.

*As a rule* usually 60fts are better at TriState vs E Water at T & T.
It's more of a Mom & Pop track - grass strip down the middle, old wooden bleachers, shutdown is like a bumpy driveway.... :thumb:
Very laid back...... :nod:

Yes to the $15 / $5 fees.
Fat Boy has mentioned cracked windshields and missing lugs / studs before.
And for an NHRA track they are loose on the helmet / leathers for bikes rules.... :confused2:

I'll be there with my krautmobile fresh from off the boat for some baseline runs :)
The plan was to bring the neon BUT since I'm picking up my new ride on Friday in Spartanburg, SC I won't be back until noon on Saturday. That doesn't give me enough time to get the other axle swapped on the neon AND to get it out on the road to check the tune. My 135i will have just made it though the "break in" period so I'll be ready to see what it can do :eyebrows:
Last few weekends have been spent working on my brother's 1st gen neon turbo build so my procrastination got the best of me. Look forward to seeing everyone there! I'll bring the camera for some photo coverage :)

Looks like I will be west bound and down Thursday night after work :) Gotta get down there so I can get up early Friday morning for:
The CSX-T needs a starter (crapped out right after being brought home from paint), probably a high pressure P.S. line (but could be a bad pump or rack), some interior assembly/clean up, and if I have time some new decals and trim replaced.
After getting the starter and P.S. fixed we will have to switch gears to giving the OVC Rolling Disco (Shelby Lancer) some love...as it's in the process of a forged motor swap w/s60 and a few other upgrades to help it Zoom as good as it Booms.
All that has to get done in time so I can kick back and have a few with Ken and some other good friends showing up Friday...but I will likely be having a "few" all day long.
Watch out! BadAndy's gonna be back in town:D

Cause you know MY wagon will make yours look bad.....
(NOT!!)
I was going to bring the wagon but with a 2 week old at home being gone foe a few hours is better than none at all. I also think I need to tighten the timing belt on the wagon as it is rubbing against the cover. Plus I have MANY more things to do to it too. I can drool over yours while I'm there.:D

It should be a good day of events. A local performance shop is having a cruise of muscle cars going to Tri-State Tomorrow. Maybe some new Camaros will be tearing up the track. I'm going to be pretty depressed I'll miss out during this part of the festivities. Have fun and post some videos. I'll see you guys at Kens!

I'm bummed out I missed it. As rewarding as it is to take the grain in to the elevator, the line still stinks. It also give much time to imagine the fun you guys were having.

I had a great time until the intermediate shaft went out 3 hours from home. First time I've ever had one only last 1000 miles, even though it was a junkyard one. My brother picked up my van and tow dolly and and came after me so I got back ok just a few hours later than expected :o. So maybe I'll reserve judgement on the 2.2 since the intermediate shaft getting bad may have killed the power at the track. Although it didn't stop James Reeves from running an 11.4 in it on his second pass ever in my car :clap::clap: Best I could do was 11.6, but then I always knew I needed the driver mod.

Ruh Roh Tea Bag Alert! :eyebrows:
haha at some of the pics! and Brad, delete the evidence of the SRT8 running! ;)
Had a great time as usual! Thanks to the Adlers for the hospitality, as usual! Its amazing how Ken and Patti are always willing to let us rowdy turbo mopar guys takeover their super nice house 2x a year!! and it always makes for a GREAT event!
I ran my Dad's 09 Challenger SRT8 at the track. Managed a best of 13.6@105, which I found out isn't the best for an SRT8 as it should be running in the low 13s or high 12s for a factory freak. I blame it on my unfamiliarity with the car, the fact the car only had 900 miles on it, and the slick track. I broke the tires loose on the last pass shifting to 3rd!
Thanks to Ken and Barbie, I mean Jon and Tara for the SWEET shirts! :) Thanks to Tim for bringing the homebrew........ next time I would like to request Turbo Red only please ;)
and thanks to everyone else who showed up for making it the great experience it always is!

Sorry you had problems on your way home Larry....I still have a TON of respect for someone driving their car that far, running the p*ss out of it, even letting someone else beat on it, then drive it home!
Also, thanks so much for handing me the keys! That was the most fun I've had in a while!!!! I love your car! (goes back to ebay searching for 9" Ford and Toyota Supra...LOL)

Here are some I have from the antics of the evening. There are a few good ones in here. There is one of Reeves praying, quite nice. Then there's the one where Hemi Shelby is telling Kevin, STFU. However, Kevin doesn't seem to get it so Dave has to jump in. :)
Dangerous minds and even more dangerous minds, midnight mowing, T-M tech assisting with the mower, which more or less guarantees that the mower will break down, and so on. :)

It always used to be at Edgewater....but then Edgewater started closing earlier. :mad: And we always had the tradition of having TurboPalooza on the first Saturday in November. Maybe we should change it to the last weekend of October :confused2:
one thing Ill admit........ I've never seen a woman drink so much beer and stay so awake! ;)

I had a blast. I should have tried to talk to more people at the track. I figured everyone was going to Ken's afterwards and that was not the case. Thanks again to Ken and Patti... Anyone that would put up with me for 2 nights is cool in my book. It was good to see some old faces and meet to some folks. The drunk guy was a hoot. LOL

I particularly like Warren drunk-dialing me at 2:10am but not actually talking. The message on my voice mail (Yes, I was smart enough not to answer!) was 5 minutes of listening to Warren and other just talking to each other about nothing in particular but laughing anyway. It was sort of like being there hours later but not having a hangover and not getting jokes.
Thanks to Brad and Nate for pulling the car swap for me! (Even if you did try and punk me. Good thing I'm smarter than I look!) Also big thanks to Warren for the loaner Intrepid and mucho help yet again from Reeves for bailing me out for trying to drive my "race" car without the trailer, allowing me to tow it back to his place, him having to street drive the Omni 90 miles, and then him still having to fix my car for me after I had to leave so he could get it out of his garage. Also a big thanks to Tim Doyle and others for helping try to get the broken axle piece out at the track. The OVC Crew is second to none in friendship and hospitality!
I'm sorry I missed the event but I will return!!! :hail:
now thats funny right there! I remember Warren making the call and saying voice mail!

Paybacks are HELL....... :bounce:

In October E Water runs T&T on Friday night, so travel for many would be out... TriState runs T & T on Saturday afternoon, so travel/timing is better.
Last weekend E water had a special 2 day bracket race, so we ended up at TriState....
