You're always calling me out to race, so I'm gonna return the favor and tell you to be there tomorrow. I just got done installing the Robospec sway bar I got off of Carson, and it feels ok so far. But I didn't drive hard or anything so no comparison to the stock piece. We'll find out tomorrow though. I have to thank APAT for coming through on the endlinks at last minute. I felt like a true racer working up to the last minute prepping my car...lol

Marc,

Since I'm at the novice booth all morning, when should i go through tech? Can you tech me tomorrow when I arrive? Should be around 7-7:30

I know most of this crew is into Auto-X and Road Racing but where are the Drag Racing guys and where are those time slips? Didn't "It's a 7" go yesterday with some guys? I didn't make it but I was curious what kind of times people were running.

Jim, there's a bunch of drag guys here...more than us turning fans. Petey, The Sander, Tim, Ivan and the Puerto Ricans, just to name a few.

Sorry Chu... I ended up getting f-ed up lastnight. Couldn't muster up the strength to get out of bed that early. Blame my wife, it was here idea to go out for margaritas.

Dan, I don't know where to go after Valley Creek? When we get out on 322 its a *itch to turn right there unless you like scraping. We could go lots of different directions from there though. Either way, I'm calling it now 9:30 @ Wegmans in D-town. Let me know if that too early or too late? How did you guys make out last night?

I didn't take my car when i went but am planning on it in the next month or two depending on how some things go. I'm still shocked that no one else came out to atco. There was 3 other evo's there that night and i wrote a little write up on them a few pages back and i think i copied and pasted it to my thread on going to atco.

930 at wegman's is fine for me.

so i have many thoughts on this matter. i know a couple of roads to start out on that will take us out to 322 west of valley creek. we'd turn right onto 322 and hit valley creek back to dtown (where we started). then jump on the bypass to the coatesville exit to ride 82 north of the exit. i was told that is a good road.

or

we could start out on valley creek, turn right on 322 and take that into dtown and get on 282 and take that to where ever.....doesn't it intersect with 82 at some point?

or we could do valley creek to a right on 322 to halls road to marshalton thorndale road and and either take a left and drive out west OR right and cross over 30 and follow 340 all the way to route 10. then 10N to honey brook at 322 back to dtown. (think this may be the winner).

this area is great because there are so many routes to take. we could make this a regular thing and try them all.

i rode out to meet tim yesterday at maple grove (only to stay for a retardly short amount of time). i took the bypass west to 10 north all the way to maple grove. it was awesome. even the soccer mom's do like 60 in a 25.

so who is all interested in going? tim (is in), pete?, josh?, willie?

PM me if you need more info/directions

I went out last night to Maple Grove. Another low turnout meant LOTS of runs for me! Racing starts at 5pm, and I had 4 runs in before 6pm!! I don't know why more of you guys don't come up to the Grove Friday nights. You can get a ton of runs.

Dan came to check it out, and Jeff came just as I was leaving. I already had my 7 runs in....lol! Other than that, no other Evo's tonight.

Best of the night was a 12.8 @108mph

More to come later once I get all the slips sorted out....

nice job on the 12.8. I'm pretty sure that's a solid E.T. for that trap speed on a X. I know they're tough to get out of the hole quickly.
