The BIG are you going to SDAC-16?!

[Frank]

Where is the shout out from the SoCal guys going? I think it being in the MidWest with road course is a big reason why I think this combined event is awesome for the midwest and SoCal guys going even though it maybe missing the old SDAC past times of that grassroots style we are used too. ROCK ON!

This will be my first time that I'm able be more then just a spectator. SDAC14 the motor in my van blew up the night before the start of it. SDAC 15 I was really short on money . This year I have already registered and signed up for the road course and drag racing.

Wish I could make it. The car will barely be done, but with the new job I just can't take the time off

I would like to go, but it depends on wether or not I can get my Spirit R/T finished up. I would consider taking my Shelby Lancer or Omni GLH, but they need a lot of work to make look nice, although they are mechanically good to go. Who knows, maybe I'll take two cars if I can talk my brother into it.

[GLHSKEN]

Looks of the car is not important (actually, no one cares). Once you have experienced the "brotherhood" exhibited at an event... You are sold.

[iTurbo]

Well that is comforting to know. 90% of the the last 100,000 miles on my Shelby Lancer have been delivering pizza. You can probably imagine how bad the interior looks. I do have a nice SL interior from a low mileage car in my garage but I don't want to install it until I buy new carpet. I've fixed most of the hail damage to but the roof is still REALLY bad.

My Omni looks OK in/out, but the paint is awful and it has dings galore. At least they are rust free.

[beavis1313]

It's not about what they look like . My van has rust and peeling paint and nobody thinks anything of it.
bottom line is if runs bring it

[Lugert]

If I go it will most likely be without a race car.
I do not want to pay the additional money ($125.00) to the SRT folks for the "Privilege" to race with them. (That is how I feel about it.)

I am afraid there will be too many cars drag racing.
If anyone actually knows a car count for the drag racing I would be very interested in that information. It may change my, and others, way of thinking.

At the moment, I highly doubt it. I just got back from Vegas yesterday, and it was like pulling teeth to get the time off for that. Not to mention the trip left me within a few hundred dollars of broke and I haven't touched any of the cars in weeks. If I do show, it will be a last minute decision.

I was signed up to drag race but not anymore, unless the GF lets us drive up.

[The S is Silent]

I'm going to have to miss out on another SDAC I'm moving to Texas to start my first job in July, so I'm just too busy.

[GLHSKEN]

^^^^ +1 there are benefits. Personally, I'm just looking forward to the opportunity to see my old friends and make new ones... SDAC is more about friendship than racing events.

I started a thread in the Members Only forum regarding organizational issues and moved all the relevant posts from this thread to that one.

This evening I was given the figures for the event attendance as it sits right now. I don't want to post them publicly though. Lets just say that right now, the figure for the drag racing is less than 10 more than we usually get at our events. This seems a bit low to me. I am sure they had hoped (counted on) more.

Shitty, I would love to drag race, grrrrrrrr

Time to get something to tow the van with?

Well, I was thining of that BUT, the gf is pregnant, 5000 mile drive round trip and we want to stop in at Vegas, so add another 1500 miles or so. My brothers truck averages 15mpg so were looking at $1800 in fuel. Airfare is costing us $1300 to Topeka, Vegas and back home. If things change, you might see the Tool Shed,

[Lugert]

Simon, that is a lot of $$$ for fuel!

I tell you what, you make it there and I will buy you dinner and drinks one night to offset your cost a little.

Nice, thanks for the offer, I still don't know if I'll take the van, we'll have to see what the GF feels like in a few weeks I guess. I would love to have the van there but the money, extra time off work is going to kill me,

[MiniMopar]

This summer looked pretty grim, so I didn't pre-reg. Doesn't look too promising right now, so I guess I'll be missing this one. I don't have a vehicle that is up to the challenge anyway.
