I'll be there early Saturday, Gonna be a helper for a photographer buddy of mine

Should be a good time

WHAT? No Beer?!

Guess I'll put a litte sump'n extra in the camera bag

Rick.....

Guys, don't be so upset about no

There will have plenty to purchase, at probably $6.00 per, but the Ice Cream is worth the $1.00, so if you get a beer and some Ice Cream you can look at it as $3.50 a piece..

I will be there first thing Friday morning, I caught on with TAFC team from Canada, so will be helping them all weekend. Should be a fun eventful weekend, hope all MOPARTS members have fun and if I can get away will try to meet up with everyone.

Cory

There will be a crew of us from PRP. We sit in the first 3 rows of the second set of bleachers. If you see me say hello. I will be the really tall guy sitting in the second row.

Were be there with 64 Hemi Savoy "Honkin Hemi" SS/B...

The Honkin HEMI is a beautiful car!
I saw that Bucky and a few other SS/AH cars are on the list also.

Im here with my Challenger. There is 13 A/SA cars here. Cant wait to run class. Thanks, Doug

Does anyone have any updates and pics of the track surface?

i got the day off today after all so i will get some pics/video's.

I like pics and videos!!!
We will be there in the morning.
I will probally have a Lil Joe shirt on or a Bucky shirt.

well today the racing started out bad by the track not holding on the starting line. it seams the sealer thay put on the staging lanes got on the track from the water box to the 60' and thay had to scrape and coat it. the 1st 10 cars spun and thay kept trying to spray the track only but to no avail.those 10 got to rerun after scraping,spraying and all was well from there4 on.i have some pics.

Thanks for the update!
I hope it didnt rain much, i just looked at radar and it looks like they are getting pounded right now.

Sorry I didn't make the 1PM and 6PM meetings. I will be there again Sunday. Will anybody be meeting then?

I love the smell of Nitro in the morning !!

It was a great day. Unfortunately, my phone died, and I never got hooked up with anyone. AJ was lookin' great.

For you guy's that have been or are there,, how's the new surface holding up? and did they get the starting line back in shape??

I thought the whole track looked great!
There were alot of prostock spinning off the line though.

I wish I could have gone, but someone got fired at work so i'm stuck working ALL weekend. Have fun guys!

hmm thats a tough question...which one is the best?

no best today in my eyes.
i loaded 4 TAD's i will do PS now.

it was nice meeting up with the few members that remembered/could get to the ice cream stand. i only made the 1 pm stop, wife got pretty tired and we headed home after going back to the car to get a bite to eat. 2nd rd of ps motorcycle was running as we pulled out of the lot. we had a good day, just got too much sun, lol. i think there were still some track issues as in funny car 1st session only a few got good runs, but the tf cars didn't seem to be having alot of trouble. hopefully they will have a great weekend of racing as they sure have struggled there since making it the blacktop jungle! lol 3ddart/dave

I was there on Friday, HEMIDARTS tracked me down while sitting in the stands. Saw "Sparky The Wire Guy" and his Firecore partner in crime Rick while out roaming the pits. Good seeing you guys.

Also saw some folks wearing Bob George Racing Shirts didn't talk to any of them however.

asid from the rain things went great starting at 12:30 it was done at 6:30.

Mike, I spoke to Rick.. His phone got wet on Sat, and frizzed out. He went out to his inlaws somewhere here in PA on Sat night . I tried getting pics of him in the pits. Busy as usual. He and I were trying to run into the gang for ice cream on Sat at 1.. We got there 1:12.. Dang, we missed you guys. I am new and wanted to meet you guys..

sorry to hear you missed out.it is good to meet moparts people.it would have been nice to hang out for a while.i was there all weekend by myself.

Dang, seemed like just about everybody in the fuel classes either blew up or had to peddle it to get down the track.

Seemed like the track surface was an issue.

super 8 huh!let me look out my window.
i am sure it is there next to the red roof inn and country inn on rt-57 and I-90.oh well.i was at the fountain next to the wild bills icecream stand. at 12:45 sorry!

Well, well, well..I wasn't positive where we were staying this year. I wasn't the one who made the reserv. Otherwise I woulda let you know. Got a pic of you?? We filled our water bottles at that particular fountain. The short people one. We did that before we left the area..

i was crouched down next to the little fountain with the B1 heads cap on.

Facing the fountain were you to right? I kinda think I remember seeing someone sitting there. My wife and I were right out in the open in front of the ice cream stands' window around at people. She's blonde and taller than me and I was wearing a white tshirt with YellowBullet.com on the back and tan cargo style shorts with a brown NHRA hat..

Hey... nice SEEING ya there..

here is Geoff pollard the fuel bike driver and his lady.i hope to learn a bunch when i hang out in there pits at the AMA race at norwalk.i recorded almost every pass but that black truck.sorry.

Dang. I just got back into Cleveland from PA. I had to go get a new phone(1 hour) because mine got soaked on Sat afternoon around 3pm. jumped into the cooler from my breast pocket of my shirt. After that, no phone period. The only numbers I had of you Kev, was your home. Dang. I called that, but figured it was your home.. my 866 number does not register a caller id from caller. I suck, I'm sorry. Any of you guys going to Carlisle ? I can hopefully make it up to you then...

hay rick,i did not forget aboutyou.i plugged the wires to the fuel bike who uses a 44 mag and MSD wires.

Rick, after we talked Saturday, Patty and I walked through the pits. We were standing at Cory Macs pit when they came back after their run. We were waiting for him to become available. When did you get that pic ^^^ taken?? Probably just missed you too.

I was there sunday looking for a new job ... got a couple hits hope something happens...

Aspen, hope something works out. Try Larry Morgan ? Kevin, That was taken Sat around 5pm.

I think im gonna i can walk to his house been there many times.. first question is got ur cdl's yet..

i have had a class A for 23yrs.it is not hard to get.i took my road test with a 5 ton dump with air brakes and pulling a construction trailer.my work provided it for me though.to rent a semi is a couple 100 to take the test in.
