I won't be in BG this year, maybe next. That is why I didn't post an answer to your question.

Thanks buddy - hopefully we can make this forum a little more lively with some effort.

folks, I want to get this going and reserve the track. we won't attract folks if we don't commit

the doc and I are stepping up and callin you out

bring the pain!!!

otherwise, it's catch as catch can the rest of the week competing with the NMCA boys which won't get you much track time.

we will be running some laps renting the track ourselves.

I put it before the board and want to go forward and reserve it.

we'll know soon. give us your backing please and sign up.

How many people are in for the gathering as of right now? I have not yet officially registered, but I have reserved a room at the UP. Who do I have to pay and how much for the drags? My ZR1 is bone stock, however, I might make a couple of passes for the hell of it! This will be my first time coming up there and I'm new to the club so I really don't know anybody but I'm looking forward to it.

There it is! We're renting the track. There WILL be drag racing at BG - will you be one of the lucky ones to benefit from it?

Ok, so how much is it, and where do I send the check?

[rkreigh]

we're targeting $40-50 each for an afternoon of "gathering" racing.

the total rental is $2,000 for the afternoon. we're stepping up and going for it.

don't worry about sending the check just yet, we'll confirm that we're able to reserve, and then ask for folks to pay via the store.

thanks!!

My 415 isn't done yet...but getting close. The block is now got the clearance it needs and the BME pistons are off to get coated...now i just need to hunt down some main bearings, wish i could make. That bryant crank looks too good to install and i am thinking of getting it bronsed...j/k! Get PLENTY of vids....i really enjoyed watching the drag vids from last year!


Is next years drag racing going to be this hard to get going.....i remember in years past that it twas not any hassle at all...what happened?

Could this be moved to later date in May for next year?


Also, i was looking over my 07 beech bend shedule and there is a Corvette Forum day from 8am to 3pm on May 24th....what is that and could we do something in conjuntion with that day next year???

Mid- September means hot and muggy doesn't it? Later in May or early June please.
