Those who are planning a wedding, can change their day. Those wanting to go boating, can boat another weekend. etc etc etc.
Hopefully Sean will have another Day at E20 so we can tie it in with his event and get even more money raised for his sons charity.:rockon:

Going to have to make it after pokerrun weekend.Thats the end of boating season.

you know wtf i'm talking about.

a car that hasn't been driven once, been trailered to one or two things all year, and runs a number, and gets a spot.

that simply doesn't qualify and isn't fair to cars that actually drive to the cruise ins or the scs or whatever.

But, since you say it, what is a joke about a street car driving an hour to the track??

if a street car can't drive a friggin hour, then it's not a street car imo

i drive just over an hour each way "every time i go to the local track".

every time. car has not been trailered once this year. it may not be the fastest, but it's actually more at risk than a 9.50 or 9.0 3000 lb "street car". it's a 4000 lb car, the power it takes to get that weight moving, and the weight itself are a much higher risk for a car like mine.

if it's a street car, drive it on the street? lol

who's block what?

we just added 2 more weeks to try to get people on the list? how the hell is that blocking?

it would be much easier to block by saying "scs" and cruise ins are over and your out

with out the scs no cars would qualify. How many cars were at the spring cruise in? 20? You guys are losing your support. At least the scs in popular and its not a true SBZ event its open to all boards.

SCS was based on Vinnys DD. Only thing I did was allow other cars in. Which I think Vinny wouldve done to get more people off their butts and down to the track!:)

You don't see NMRA or NMCA events scheduled around someone's work schedule. Either you can make it or you can't and if you can't then better luck next year.

Exactly!

the scs' and cruise ins are over. people made it or they didn't

this is being added strictly to try to get guys added to the dozen, and you still get the bitch and whine.

it's just like keeping the tracks open til the end of the year to try to get more people on, a couple years ago, you wouldn't still have opportunity this late in the year. No one is ever happy

My car broke 3 weeks after scs.All because of a bad rocker arm.I'm glad I have till the track closes to have a chance back on!!!:bigthumb

who cares. Really who cares?

I keep hearing about people that aren't posting times from u

Waaaaa waaaaa. Waaaaa. Do u have a car to post?

If the time isn't posted then it doesn't go on the list. If there is a secret society dozen. Then great for.them. other than that. Who gives a fuk about something that doesn't exist.

I hear Elvis is in tennessee, but until I see him who gives a.fuk

Well actually there were well over 40 cars, with about over 100 people in attendance, JUST from SBZ, according to my records that I have from the day. We had over 65 cars racing and well over 350 people at the track that day for the Spring Cruise in and Private Race Day, "The Preston Cup". It was a great time and great weather.

Back On topic:

I got the car back together, the head stud leaked AGAIN, so I put a couple GM coolant tablets in, and no more leak:bigthumb I am ready to go and beat the crap out of this new setup I got. It would be nice to break my Old PB of 11.56.

Why not just make it once the last local track closes. Is there some pressing deadline to meet for stickers, I doubt it. Let em run till it snows

I would like to go but it sucks driving an hour down there to blow the tires off every time. I think I'm going to try for Tristate tomorrow.
