anyone wanna go to the track?

Since the weather is getting cooler and time is running out, im trying to set up a group to go to the track sometime this weekend. im thinking 75/80.

If I can get a new intake manifold installed I'd like to test it out this weekend. Mason Dixon or Capitol doesn't have any test and tune this weekend for sure, so 75/80 is it.

John

Hmmm sounds like an idea:)

Hey John, for test and tune, your better off at 75-80 anyway, cause you get a lot more runs in there.

And I'm not going until I get this thing tuned rite, or figure out whats wrong with it to have lost almost a second of my time, after doing some upgrades that SHOULD have made it faster.

Ya it should of. Didnt order a new maf yet?? If you would like to, If you did come and i was there we could trade MAFS for a couple of runs and see if that is positivly the problem

Is it the car or the driver

I live right next to the track so id be down, does anyone know when they wanna go?

If i go id be there when they open:) still not sure ill know on friday or by friday if ima going to go.

MD game for us on Saturday, but Friday might be an option.

so are we doing this and when, its Friday now, so I guess it will be tomorrow on Saturday, and I'll go if its sat night, let me know.

And Mike, it aint the driver, and you know it.

I would love to go but I can't this weekend. I think my only chance to go is the NVMC rental on the 3rd of Oct. Definitely looking forward to that one!!!

what's 75/80?

It's a track just north of Rockville in Monrovia. I think I might go Friday night for the last TNT.

Cool is it a decent track? Is it 1/4 mile? I've never been to the track before, I'd like to go sometime

For a first time to the track I do NOT recommend 75/80. This track is marginally maintained, despite a recent infusion of money early this spring in order to reopen it (it was closed down in 2005). Mason Dixon has a test and tune this Saturday 12-5. While it's a bit further out towards Hagerstown, the track is well prepared compared to 75/80 and I think you'll learn more from drivers and staff.

A little off topic, what part of Carroll County do you reside? I used to live in Taylorsville at 26/27, then moved to New Windsor. I don't recall seeing that nice Cobra of yours...

John

I agree with John (Boss281). Mason Dixon is definitely the better track with better personnel. I go to 75/80 out of convenience (only been there once anyway since this was my first year racing my car). I can go to 75/80 friday night or Mason Dixon saturday if anyone wants to join. I've never been to Mason Dixon for TnT but I got about 10+ runs in at 75/80 for TnT last time I went.

75/80 SUCKS!!!!

I agree, if this is your first time, I suggest a nicer track, such as Mason Dixon. I would join you all this weekend but I will be heading to NC.

I just moved here that's probably why you didn't see it, I live in Sykesville/Eldersburg area.

I might be able to go this Saturday

I think I'm gonna go to Mason Dixon on Saturday. We can meet up at our usual meeting spot on 70 and head over together if you want.

1705 Ridgeside Dr.
Mt. Airy
Exit #68 off of Rt 70

Anyone else interested in going? It's from 12-5 and gates open at 11am.

All you drag racers, what the heck. Fill up the gas tank and drive down to Charlotte for the Shootout this weekend.

What shootout? Haha Charlotte is just a ways away....

I may join you ^^ depends what I have going on this weekend. I have always wanted to go to the track, I'm just scared of breaking something. How many people do you think will be there? How much is it to enter? What time do you wanna meet there?

Bookmark http://www.masondixondragway.com/ for the local track. The North Carolina is a big S197 shootout but all Mustangs and Fords are invited to run. Not sure how many of the club members here are going but so far it's just a handful. We'll probably have 20 cars or so down there with a day to play, win trophies, and run grudge matches.

Racing can get expensive if you to be serious about it, and eventually something happens and things break--but come one, that can happen just as easily on the street, right?

I wouldn't worry, just start slow, get tips from other club members, and have fun. That Cobra, with a little practice, can probably pull in some great times even on street tires.

John

I know, it's always intrigued me. Finally a place where there isn't fear of blue/red lights behind you I really do wanna try going, I'd probably run like 15 on my 1st try, but someone told me with a really good driver high 12's might be possible. I'd be happy with low 13's

well if you guys go to Mason Dixon let us know how you do. I'm sure we will all pull in another TnT before the tracks close, and some of us are racing at the SuperStallions track rental event at Cecil County Dragway on the 14th.

If it wasn't so far away...AND if it was for SN95s, I would've been all over this! haha
