It's $20 for a racer. Not sure about watchers. No riders allowed, i believe.

T-1 day.

I definitely don't have enough autox/hpde events on my calendar. This should be fun!

Mike, did you figure out what time you can get there?

135gofast · 04-20-2010, 04:19 PM

Weather is looking perfect for Weds night - 70 degrees and partly cloudy (which always bothered me as a statement, i prefer "mostly sunny")

Getting pretty excited to see if i can manually shift and come any near the published 1/4 miles times on this bad-boy. I am sure that i will miss the DSG (DCT for your bmwspeakers) tomorrow night!

Bdh821 · 04-20-2010, 04:56 PM

Passengers are allowed on cars slower then 14.0 I think. Spectators are 10 bucks. Last wednesday cars were getting in 10+ runs!

and 1 · 04-20-2010, 05:21 PM

i will probably have to work till 7....is that gonna screw things up?

Bdh821 · 04-20-2010, 05:23 PM

no you just wont get in as many runs. depending on where you work id say you'd get there at 8 or 830? closes at 10

and 1 · 04-20-2010, 05:38 PM

how do they charge you? 1 time entry fee then loop as many times as you want/can? where is this place anyways?

Bdh821 · 04-20-2010, 05:47 PM

you pay at the front gate when you drive in. Go thru tech inspection then line up to race. Once you're in, you can do as many runs as you want/can.

It's in Epping NH.

Empty your car and bring a helmet too, before getting in line for tech inspection. You'll be required to use it.

Bdh821 · 04-20-2010, 08:17 PM

Andy or Rachel - Are one of you guys taking a good camera with a lens that can shoot the board.... from the start... in the dark?

arrutled · 04-21-2010, 07:23 AM

I don't know if I am going to come anymore to tell you the truth. got backed up yesterday cause of a chemical problem. We'll see.

135gofast · 04-21-2010, 07:30 AM

i'm definitely in and another guy, Bryan, with a 335 is in too.

Andy, hope you solve that issue and can make it.

Massachusetts requires a 2nd class fireman license to operate a Power boiler. We are installing two 950 BHP (boiler HP, not brake) boilers at the moment, so I have to pass in order to work on them.

I'm out. Getting slammed by allergies...Hate sneezing while driving - even worse in a helmet.

and 1 · 04-21-2010, 10:51 PM

event organizer no-shows....weak sauce! what happened dude?

thanks to the d bag who got oil all over the track within a half hour of my arrival, my best run was my first 1/4 mile ever.....13.4 @ 108

135gofast · 04-22-2010, 05:49 AM

you were there? i was there from 5:30 until 7:38. i got in 4 runs before the longer lines and no other 1ers there bummed me out. I should'a got your phone number, i would've stayed longer. Sorry ! What time did you get there?

13.3 @ 107
13.4 @ 103 (stupidly shifted into 4th)
14.0 @ 97 with tons of wheelspin in 1st gear
14.2 @ 104 with tons of wheelsphin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd (friggin' left lane at NE Dragway sux)

I was very nonchalant on the 13.3, just trying to put a target, not figuring how much wheelspin i'd be able to get if i really pushed it. I'll definitely go back again and try to break into the 12s. I figure i would've been a bit faster i didn't shift into 4th on my 2nd run. Figure a shift is about .1-.2 seconds?
