Bill I could have sworn that someone posted about hotels for this race earlier.

http://www.frontenginedragsters.org/forum/index.php?topic=880.0

I am planning on going and hope to be racing with the NDRL group in the 8.0 class (the engine is not cooperating at the moment, but think we might have it figured out).

Maybe someone should put together a banner for Front Engine Dragster forum????

still undecided about going with the Cat. We know we can run well enough to have fun.(this is a given ;D)
I may be there as a fuel driver looking for a ride if we don't bring the car.
We just won't know until about a month before.

I'm dying to go, but couldn't commit yet. Is it too late to book hotel room?

Also, is there a way to make easier to identify the FrontEngineDragsters.Org members there? Perhaps displaying the FrontEngineDragsters.Org business card on their trailers or something like that? What about identifying non-racing members like me?

Any race team needing a helping hand?

I suspect hotel rooms will be hard to get.

We are approaching the 500 member mark.

When we reach it I will get some shirts made up.

I will have business cards there, grab some and pass them out.

Stop by and introduce your self, wish I could get everyone to sign their posts with their name so I knew who everyone was.

Will be leaving Rochester about 10:00 PM and hope to get just south of Cleveland before stopping. Get up early and drive to BB.

Best of luck to all of you that are competing. Bill, tell Kathy that I wish her Happy Birthday. I bet not many spouses would be willing to spend their birthday at the track! I'm jealous of all of you that are going but I'm staying home to work on my stuff.

First qualifying run was a little slow, ran a 8.090, second run changed the lower pulley to put a little more air in (missing a 55tooth top pulley for my tune up) and went a little fast 7.985 with a .015 reaction time.

Ok, we are out of in the second round.

Put a tune up in that should have run 8.060

Track was in excellent condition, ran our best 60 foot time ever.

Had an .021 reaction time but ran to fast (because of the 60 foot time)with a 7.951, the other guy broke out also but not as much.

I’m really happy with the way we ran, the team was a TEAM, the driver drove well, the track beat us.

Just want to say what a great time Kathy and I had at Bowling Green ! Nice to see Glen and Anne and to meet Ricardo . After the race we went down to Nashville for a couple of days . I was about a tenth slow down there the best we could go was 7.59 . In my case the driver did not do his job and went red in the first round . We met so many nice people there and to me that's what drag racing is all about
