COOL! A weekend that I am available. I will be there.

Thank you to the NVCC, CCA, NCOA, NVMC for inviting us to participate.

I encourage erveyone to come out and enjoy the day, the cars and the people.

Even if you don't want to race, it is a beautiful area of Maryland and we sometimes stop for lunch at Texas Road House. Come out and join us.

If you want to take some time on the way back, I have a set up the Catoctin Mountain Cruise. We will start from Texas Road House in Hagerstown, head toward Smithsburg (a special place in the hearts of WAZOO) then cross through Catoctin Mountain Park to Thurmont, MD. From there it is a 20 minute drive down RT 15 to I-70 and I-270 in Frederick. Catoctin Mountain is the location of Camp David, but we won't see it from our route.

If you have never been on a drag strip before and want to give it a try, this is the perfect place. The track is friendly and the people are very nice. Drag racing can be just as simple as pullling away from a stop light. It is not any harder than that. You don't have to be an expert to enjoy your ZR-1. Contact me if you would like more information about drag racing for fun.

Looks like the end of my rear tires, I will be there. Will have to budget for new rubber on the rear after these get toasted. Will beat the 13.06 time from last year!

For any drag racing 'newbies' who would like to read up on the subject beforehand, I've attached a 'Drag Racing 101' doc that I wrote up some time ago...I instructed that segment of one of my club's events (it's got a lot of really basic information).

This event would be a great one for newcomers to get the proverbial feet wet...no pressure, very laid back...

Very helpful and thanks. Did my first event with the Stangs last year and had a blast. With this write up, will do better!
