[Shambo]

I'm There

[klincoln]

me too!!

[SmokinRamMike]

Sounds good. I will be getting the hotel sometime this week. Do we want to try and get back in the one we had before?

[Mrs Shifter]

I don't know, the parkin' lot was a little... ummmm... busy... yea, that's a good word for it.

Any other suggestions?

[kmclacklan@msn.]

hey klincoln I will try and make it to the race give me a call this is kenny with the blue 01. I met u at orlando speed world.

[SmokinRamMike]

well I just called around and found some places that are willing to give group rates. I need to call them back Monday and talk to the sales Mgr. If you find something you like let me know and I will talk to them. BTW I hope ya'll know the weekend we are going to be there will a home game weekend so the hotels will have high rates and slim pickens.

[B.B.]

Im there.

[rhilton109]

How about since we got rained out in Gainesville the 1st time,can we finish the heads up super street final????I'm sure Matt would be up for that!!!Points might be needed for some!!!!

[redfishman17]

i will be there

[Twisted Shifter]

Unfortunately no. If you look at the points rules, once eliminations start, its an event. If its called for rain the points count for completed rounds run.

[03dodgeoffroad]

i will be there

ok cool me too me and matt will have to line up:tree::nos:

[redfishman17]

LMAO with your smokey POS

[rhilton109]

what do the points champions win at the end of the season???

[03dodgeoffroad]

LMAO with your smokey POS

it only smokes a little:poke: you should line up to:hehe::hehe:

[Mrs Shifter]

what do the points champions win at the end of the season???


"We're goin' to Disneyworld!" :hehe::hehe::hehe:

[rhilton109]

Besides that,ANYTHING??????

[Twisted Shifter]

Yes we have division payouts. I cant find my list right now. I will get it tomorrow and post something.

[SmokinRamMike]

The chance to call yourself the best overall this season. You will recieve a little cash for your place and for contingency, but that is not all. Think of it as a way to market yourself for future seasons. Why pay for parts when some one else will pay for them with sponsorships.

[klincoln]

I don't know, the parkin' lot was a little... ummmm... busy... yea, that's a good word for it.

Any other suggestions?busy!!! that might be a good word for it!:hehe:

[SmokinRamMike]

yeah it was a little dark

[Mooring Product]

It was a wedding. We had breakfast with the bride to be. Great folks from the Islands.

[Mrs Shifter]

Glad you had a good time with the bride-to-be Pete. But a repeat of that parking lot that night is not somewhere I'm interested in taking my daughter back to.

[solostyle]

we will be there. gonna run the big tires this time for shiz. we have another CopeCustoms truck that will make its debut there also. Cant wait for this race. too much time in-between races!!!!

[Shambo]

sounds good Bring them! The more the marrier

[Twisted Shifter]

The word is out ..... I had 3-4 calls yesterday ...... we should have a good turnout .........

I think we are going to up Friday afternoon and then drive home after the race on Saturday.

[SmokinRamMike]

I am kinda glad we picked G-ville. I think this track is one of the best we have in FL. It seems fit to have our finals held there. Thanks to everyone that made this possible for us all.

[Mrs Shifter]

[Mooring Product]

[03dodgeoffroad]

[Shambo]

Yes I do! I'll miss you!

[rocracing]

:bang I wish i could be there but i need to stay home and get the 2009 season mapped out so we can let you guys know as soon as possilbe on next years schedule.

This should be a great event and being that is a double points event i think there might be some upsets on the final standings.

Again good luck to all , have a great event and if you get time have :Cheer: for me.

Thanks

[kmclacklan@msn.]

I their

[neilden]

turbomatt are we still on for friday night?

[Morse]

My turbo is messed up.. Can't build boost.. I may just be watching..

[Twisted Shifter]

Is it the twins or a single

[Morse]

My single.. My deal kinda fell through on my last set.. I'm looking again..

[redfishman17]

Im There

HOMO

you have my # right?

[Twisted Shifter]

Hotel booked for Friday night ....... are we racing yet ????

[rocracing]

Well the clock is ticking now and only 5 days till we know who is the 2009 division 4 champions.

[Shambo]

Tick Tick Tick, just like Christmas! it's taking for ever to get here!

[klincoln]

My turbo is messed up.. Can't build boost.. I may just be watching..i have got a new power max stage-2 in the box it's a GT3782R part no#759361-2 for you man 1/2 off call me

[Morse]

Kurt, I just saw this.. Thank you very much for the offer. I ordered a small set of towing twins today that are supposed to be at Gary's shop on Thursday.. I'll be at his place friday morning, and then in Gainesville later that night if all goes well..

I pressurized my system today and found a boost leak. It spools a little better now.. haha.. I'm still glad I ordered the twins.. I could see a manual transmission truck being fine with this 64-71-13, but for towing with a 12 valve automatic I just don't think it's a good choice..

I know this isn't the right place, but if someone wants this HTT 64-71-13 stainless turbo with the downpipe I'll sell it for $1200 and bring it to the Gainesville race..

[SmokinRamMike]

So I will be either staying in the Newberry INN or the Clarion INN depending if the g/f goes or not.

BTW... I think Neilden and I are meeting up at the Turkey Lake Service Plaza for a convoy up to G-Ville

[Mrs Shifter]

We're back at the Clarion Mike...bring the GF! I'll put her to work so she's not bored :D

[neilden]

chris you dont have to worry about my gf getting the way of the camera again shes not going to be able to make it. but ill be there ready to take the WIN!!! Did you hear that SHAMBO im gona win it this time no rain to save you!!!

[SmokinRamMike]

the g/f is looking forward to coming but is still not a 100% yet.

Neilden you are one cocky SOB! But you are at the right forum it.

[Shambo]

It will all come out on Saterday! :cheer:I guess I have a Target on my Back!:blahblah1:

You will just have to bring your A Game!

:tree:

[klincoln]

Thats a lot of points you need!!!!!:hehe::hehe:neilden

[Mooring Product]

chris you dont have to worry about my gf getting the way of the camera again shes not going to be able to make it. but ill be there ready to take the WIN!!! Did you hear that SHAMBO im gona win it this time no rain to save you!!!

Unless he doesn't show up or breaks down no way in hell you can catch him in points. You could still take first for the day...

Just to make me feel better my truck broke down and is in the shop with a bad ICP and a bad injector.

Looks like you guys should have some cool weather...should have some great ET's.

Remember no burn outs and no high speed lauches in the parking lot !! (For the rookies)

[Morse]

How many points races have their been in our division this year?

[Twisted Shifter]

This will make #3 .... and its double points ....... so ....... with lots of luck .... everyone has a chance.

[SmokinRamMike]

:evilEveryone better check their tires come Sat morning. My knife hand is getting itchy.:evil
