Anyone get accepted to race on Woodward next weekend? From what I heard they only picked 150 cars.

Lenny Melton did....8secDart. He doesn't post much. Has a BADAZZ black '68 Dart, BB on nitrous.

Sweet. I'll be there as well.

We are signed up too. Hope to see you there.

Just look for the [censored] brown Volare.

I'll be there spectating...if anything like last year, I won;t be able to get into the "pits"

Elana from Roadkill just posted that they are opening up more spots.

birdstheword is going to be in it with his black super bee

Wish I could make it this year, but travels and work will keep me and the car away from the D all together.
Have fun fellas and most importantly, keep a third eye out for any drunk cars on the strip trying to make an impression. You don't want them making an impression on your side of the lane and fender or on the wall barriers. It's like a no-prep type of hole.
Lots of excitement.

So now that Road kill told everyone 150 cars max count for the racing event, now is when Road kill will bust it open because its going to be a cash cow and have 500 cars. I am out. hopefully I get my money back.

Sorry to hear that. I thought about entering for about 3 seconds then I remembered the circus from the last two events.. Great people watching however.

Yeah, I'm not super enthusiastic about them letting more cars in. I'm really glad I busted my ass to get the car ready, even bought a new set of tires literally just for the event. I'd bet I'll get maybe 2 runs in tops and they won't let me race in the fastest dodge portion because it's a "Plymouth"

Yup...absolute goat rope last year.

I thought about using my P-Body in it last year
but as your car mine is a PLY.. but I was gonna
re-badge it to Dodge(both look identical) but
just a couple of badges.. but my issue is getting
a VIN.. I have the title but I scrapped the vin
when I built it.. I thought about buying a car
(junker) and use the VIN and title off it or just
buy a new title and vin and put a dash in it with
that new vin

Chrysler employees and families can't compete for the money anyway.

I'm not a Chrysler employee anymore.. I might
pass IF I wanted to try and get in.. but a lot
of guys that go will be spraying.. I dont do that

I don't have anything for the fast guys, Onondaga is supposedly opening up this Saturday as well, may do that instead.

I don't have anything for them either, but my junk works on the street. I might get lucky tho ,but I doubt it.

I went over to the Road Kill for a few hours..
took the Rampage over.. I didnt even try to
get in(only 150 cars) but seen a dozen guys
from Drag Week that were in.. had a good time
but I left when it started to rain... everyone
was just spinning... no sooner than I got there
a Vega flipped over.. didnt look good(I heard 2
kids were hit but didnt get hurt.. that was about
50 yards from where I started out).. that was super
close to being real bad.. took about 1 1/2 hours to
get it cleaned up

Well, I had an interesting time. Definitely didn't work out well in my favor at all.


Worked 9 hours Friday, got off at 5pm and loaded up the car. Ended up hitting the road at 8pm Friday. Made the mistake of taking 75 through Detroit and the terrible traffic with a 32ft trailer. Ended up arriving at the hotel at 12:45 am. Got maybe 2 hours of sleep tops. Woke up at 5:30am to go to tech that opened at 6am across town. Walk out of the hotel, and some idiot decided to park his tree trimming truck right behind the trailer, so I have to walk all the way back in get the keys, move the truck and trailer so I had room to unload. So by 6 we're on the way to tech, which is about 7-10 minutes from the hotel. Get there, fill out the "tech card" they checked some stuff and this and that. Finally a guy comes over and says, you're good on everything except your front tires aren't DOT approved(rears are 100% good). Not sure why It mattered, but he said I could not run the car. He suggested I go buy VW bug tires from belle tire on the corner, keep in mind it's Saturday morning at 6am and tech closes at 8am. I told him they are not speed rated or weight rated for a car like this and that is extremely unsafe at these speeds. He basically told me to pound sand. So I tried to explain to him that I literally just drove over 4 hours here to race. But somehow they let cars with beadlocks and Whatnkt in to race.

At this point I say screw it, and try to get my $100 prepaid registration fee back. They say no, and direct me to another person at a different location. So I go and try that person, and they tell me no refunds. At this point I'm slightly aggravated. I just spent $450 on tires, 150 on a hotel, $100 not to race and fuel to get there. I head back to the hotel, load up, and roll 4 hours home.



Pretty [censored]. End rant.
